First Impressions
Apperance
Standing at 5'7", Inara looks quite tiny in comparison to most others due to her petite build and slim figure. With dark black curls and big doe eyes, she often dresses in garment found in East Asia (India specifically), with pashminas often found in her wardrobe. She is well kept, a deep olive skin completion and deep black eyes. Her usual manner of dress tends to be formal when entertaining clients, with a bit more toned down with others on Serenity. When she isn't entertaining clients and on her own, she is shown sleeping in very casual clothing, usually a tank top and underwear.Canon Info
โฃ Taken from end of Objects in Space and in between the film Serenity, Inara has confronted her feelings for Malcolm Reynolds and has ultimately decided to leave the ship as he slept with a friend (and fellow former companion), and refused to accept his feelings for Inara. About Inara โฃ Inara Serra comes from a futuristic world where humanity has colonized most of space. The Union of Allied Planets is an organization that waged war on independent planets prior to the start of the series, and Inara was involved through one of her clients being an informant for the Independents and her alerting the authorities about his intentions. This caused her to have to leave her cushy career at the Companion House of Madrassa (she tells people she left to explore the universe but she was banned due to this). As a result she used her money to rent a small shuttle from Serenity, opting to live aboard with the crew (but not quite joining it). Every planet they visited for a 'job', she would arrange to meet with a client, saving up her money in the process.Demeanor & Attitude
Poised and in control, Inara has trained for the position of 'Companion' since the age of 12 (with actual sex not being brought up until she was closer to 18). Born on Sihnon in the late 25th century, the planet is host for companion training and therefore this was a job Inara was expected to do. The position of companion in Alliance Society is an elite position with a lot of rules and regulations to it, so Inara usually conducts herself in a professional matter, even with those who aren't potential clients. Politeness and respect are all things she shows to others, but she isn't above defending herself. Despite the respect most people show to her, being an Ambassador for the Alliance, individuals like Malcolm will often throw her profession into her face and she usually does not take it lightly. She will immediately stand up for herself as she genuinely does enjoy the work she does/the clients she has. Being someone who is allowed to pick (and ban) her clients, Inara has a tendency to go with vibes and energy of people, being able to read most others and their intentions through basic social psychology.Voice
Her voice is a bit more high pitched, calm, sensual at times and she often speaks very formally towards others valuing politeness above all else. Please note: In the Firefly world, the future is quite modern and intertwined with a lot of East Asian and Chinese/Japanese culture with everyone being able to speak Mandarin. Unfortunately the show is using very broad idioms/curses/language that often times translates to nonsense, so I'll be limiting her usage of it unless I have a solid translation/source to backup what I'm trying to have her say.Etraya Inventory
