Backstory;;Told from Inara's point of view.
When you have lost your way and all hope of finding it, Inara's lantern will guide you on destiny's new path; she is the destiny seeker, but not her own, she finds your fate.
Trees loomed high over me, their dark claws tearing through the inky black sky, grabbing for my tail and eyes. Everything seemed horrifying in the darkness of night, not even the moon was my silver savior as I was pitched deeper into the abyss. A tear streaked down my face as I sprinted down the dirt path, the wind whistling through my ears. I had to escape the darkness, but I couldn't find a way. My vision dimmed as my breathing got heavier, and the the hope of reaching the light quickly left my mind.I tore thorough the brush and suddenly burst into the open, rolling onto a plush field. I could see the sky clearly now, and it was dotted with brilliantly dazzling stars. I saw a shimmer at the circle's center, and slowly approached. There, cradled by the earth, sat a small glass orb, completely void of contents. I gently laid a single paw on its smooth surface, and I felt the earth begin to shift. I looked up to see the twinkling stars glowing brighter as several fell from the sky. They swirled down lazily, finding their way to the orb and coming to a stop inside. They drifted around like fireflies, flickering and slowly moving about the space. A string hung from its top, and I knew I had finally found my true decor.
Personality;;◌ Wise ◌
Inara always knows exactly what to say, and a lot of that comes from encountering many different people on her journeys. She's had many experiences, and from each she has learned about the way the mind works and how to fix everything, how to make someone feel better no matter what. One of Inara's best ways is to change the way they see the situation, to change their perspective on life. One thing's for sure; she will always be able to help, no matter what trouble you're in.
◌ Humble ◌
Although Inara is incredibly smart, she doesn't say it or act like she knows more than whomever she's speaking to or with at anytime. She likes to make people feel good about themselves, so speaking like she thinks she's better would never help the situation, and she would be lying anyways. Inara feels all beings are equal on the planet, and should revive an equal amount of love, respect, and chance to live their life happily. That's why she helps others, she knows her life is great and wants to spend it bettering those of others.
◌ Sweet ◌
If there's anything you'll know about Inara the moment you meet her, it will be how incredibly kind she always is to everyone she meets, no matter the creature or circumstances. She loves to give gifts to others, even if the objects are her own belongings, and she will do anything she can do make someone feel better, or to even get a simple smile out of them. She tends to agree with other people's opinions when they're upset, but gives helpful tweaks. No matter what, she always tries to put others before herself.
◌ Shy ◌
Inara is often only noticed because of her lantern, for she is very quiet and doesn't often butt into other peoples' conversations or announce her arrival. She feels if she's necessary, she will be asked for or beckoned, so she likes to sit quietly until recognized to avoid being rude and interrupting the lives of others. She tends to wait until the creature knows it needs help, and then she swoops in to intervene. She wouldn't want them becoming completely dependent on her aid of the general public.
◌ Curious ◌
Curiosity killed the cat, and that's why Inara has a little sense when she investigates a point of interest. Even if you're one of the smartest people on earth, you can learn something new every day, so Inara makes that her mission in life, and she's doing pretty well with it so far. She learns through hands-on things and real-life experiences, so she tries to get out and encounter new things each day. She always makes sure to use caution when she is curious, because she is smart enough to know the dangers of new and unknown things.
◌ Adventurous ◌
Inara can never resist a good quest, and often ventures far and wide in search of those in need of her help. You could say she's a hero; roaming her far expanse of territory, guarding the souls under her protection from harm, no matter the distance from her they lie. She enjoys the journeys, seeing and learning much on each of the new paths she travels. She makes sure to go a different direction from her home each time, for she loves seeing new things all the time, it helps her learn about the land around her.
