(Inara Serra continued...)

A headcanon fact: On Sihnon, becoming part of the Companion Training House is considered the highest of honors, and it wasn't an easy task either. Only a small selected group of people end up entering, and a small fraction of them succeeding in their training. Inara chose to become a Companion, and ended becoming one of their top students, receiving high praises and respected along nearly all of the training houses of the planet. Inara was happy with what she was learning and the accomplishments, and had big plans ahead -- until she had received the unfortunate news of her illness. This shattered everything she had about the future. When she got the news, she was about the receive a promotion to become a priestess of the House, and with great reluctance she had to decline the promotion, and shortly after she requested her leave from the training house. She, of course, explained that she wanted to continue with her clientele and kept saying that she wanted to expand herself amongst the worlds. Very few know of her illness, and she wants it to remain that way until she's ready to face that hard reality.

Also, one of her childhood dreams was to travel and explore the different planets amongst the verse, the be an adventurer like in the many folk stories she had read growing up. She finally got to experience this dream, even though it's through unfortunate and tragic circumstances. When she saw the ship Serenity, like Mal, it was love at first sight. What she saw wasn't a ship of transport, but instead the special quality of it that many other spaceships didn't have. She knew instantly it would take her where she needed to go, even if she didn't know where those places where yet.

A scene/moment that sums up this character: When she was giving benediction to Shepherd Book, there's something beautiful about it because while Book is a man of faith, Inara is also seen as a spiritual figure as well. Inara brings comfort and a sense of peace to many of the people aboard the ship, for both them and for herself as well. Another moment is in the movie when she cleverly devised the plan of using a flashbomb disguised as an incense stick in order to buy herself and Mal some time to get away. It shows how smart and resourceful she is.

An idea I have for the character that I haven't written: While there are many different aspects of Inara's family that I love envisioning, one idea in particular that has been swirling around my head has been that she didn't come from a very wealthy background. Contrary to what her appearance and status as a Companion leads many to believe, Inara came from a pretty average family, or as average one could get on a core planet like Sihnon. I'd like to think that the money Inara made as Companion, even when she's on Serenity, she sent most of it to her family on Sihnon in order to support them.
