One thing I really like and find personally resonant about Julian Bashir is the fact that he's filled with passion and curiosity and enthusiasm but is also a judgmental hater. Responding to the new Defiant with "I hate the carpet." Responding to Jadzia saying "What I want is Worf" with "Why?" It's a pettiness distinct from his righteous anger over genuine injustice and it really speaks to me.
I think my favourite instance of this is when Julian has to deal with Dukat on board the Defiant in 4x01.
Dukat: I find this whole procedure offensive.
Julian: And I find you offensive.
Absolutely top-notch, zero notes, 11/10 professional conduct.
