This trope describes a situation in a work of fiction, in which a prominent vehicle used by characters in the story is itself endowed with the qualities of being a character in the eyes of the audience. This is especially probable if said vehicle is essential to the advancement of the plot of the work or the actions of the main characters. Such endowment is represented by sorrow or grief in the event of the destruction of said vehicle. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })As any Navy veteran will tell you, especially if they had to watch theirs sink, this is often Truth in Television. May overlap with Cargo Ship in weirder cases. See Spaceship Girl or Setting as a Character for when the ship is literally a character. Do not confuse with Spaceball One. Examples: |

In MegasXLR Coop seemed to care about his giant robot like it was alive, even saying he loves it. | |

Supernatural - The Winchester's Impala. So much so that the framing story of the season 5 finale was the biography of that car, treating it as the most important thing in all creation. | |

The Lost Light in Transformers: More than Meets the Eye is seen as being as much a character as any of the crew. Which makes it all the more distressing when, in the season 2 finale, Getaway and his mutineers steal it and strand the crew on Necroworld. Season 3's plot revolves almost entirely around chasing Getaway down and getting it back. | |

In Steven Universe, Lars realizes that Emerald feels this way about her ship, the Sun Incinerator. She's so obsessed with chasing down the Off-Colors because, to her, they weren't just stealing a ship for transport, they were stealing her best friend. | |

Mass Effect - The Normandy in all three games. Its destruction at the start of the second game comes as a Player Punch to many, but fortunately it is rebuilt as the bigger and better SR-2 variant. | |

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - This instance of the trope is not so much the fault of the audience as it is the fault of the main characters who endow Chitty as a character themselves. One may notice that the characters only take it so far; for example, they never refer to Chitty as 'he,' only as 'it.' | |

This has been true of the TARDIS in Doctor Who for years. You can actually see a gradual process of treating it as a simple "capsule" to the Doctor's longest, truest companion over the length of the series. Then, finally, we got to meet her. | |

Airwolf - The Airwolf Helicopter played such a crucial role in the series that even the main characters routinely endowed it and endeared it as a character all its own. | |

Firefly - If Serenity didn't exist, then those space cowboys would have nowhere to go. The characters themselves treat her as part of the crew, as does director Joss Whedon: Serenity is described in director's commentary as the tenth member of the crew, in the context of a comment about the eleventh member being Summer Glau's feet. | |
