First Name: Inara
Last Name: Serra
Alias or Nick-name: ‘Nara
Age: 30s ...
Family: unknown?
Home Planet: Sihnon
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black
Persuasion: Neutral
Ship: Serenity
Occupation: Companion
History:
Born in the late 25th century on Sihnon, Inara is a Companion, a high-society courtesan licensed by the Union of Allied Planets (the "Alliance"). In Alliance society, Companions are part of the social elite, often accompanying the wealthy and powerful. There is considerable ritual and ceremony surrounding their services, which appear to extend beyond sex to nurturing psychological and emotional well-being.
Most of what is known about Companions is derived from Inara herself and incidental discussions with and about other Companions and Companion-trained individuals. These sources suggest that Companion training includes social and physical grace, at least some performing arts, and psychology. Companions choose their own customers and can have ungracious customers banned from any Companionship. Inara has a number of frequent clients throughout the Allied worlds. She takes both male and female clients, though most of her clients are male.
Inara was a rising member of Companion House Madrassa when she suddenly and inexplicably left to travel the outer rim. She has suggested that she "wanted to see the universe," although it is strongly hinted that there are other reasons. Inara leases one of Serenity's shuttles for transportation, living space, and workspace, providing her with some mobility.
Inara appears to be at least somewhat adept at swordplay, martial arts and is skilled with a bow and arrow, apparently preferring them over firearms.
