Nandi. She is forthright and has a certain sensuality in her every movement that appeals to me. I also have a serious thing for redheads, and those green eyes are icing on a gorgeous cake. And that voice! That glorious, husky voice! Bone-melting.

As characters I would choose Nandi over Inara, because she comes with less baggage. As actresses I would choose Morena over Melinda, 'cause she's the most beautiful woman on the planet.

Nandi. She's lacks pretension and is more self-reliant. And when she sees someone she wants, she doesn't waste time angsting over him.

Well reasoned, green!

So Nandi wins...for tonight?

Do you think Inara would have eventually dropped the pretention in later seasons? If whatever malady she suffered from were removed, would her character have changed?

I think that Inara would be more free to act on her feelings for Mal if she were no longer a companion. I think a lot of the pretense she puts forth would fade once she wasn't bound by Guild law. Obviously both Nandi and YoSafBridge were able to be their true selves once they had left their companion houses. Kind of makes one wonder who Inara really would be if she was allowed to come out from behind her curtain.

As to whatever the "secret malady" is that keeps lurking behind door number two, I think she should just tell everyone. Now I'm going to turn 50 on Saturday, and I've been thinking a bit on what my 50 year old self would tell my 20 year old self, and frankly, it's that all those things I thought were really scary,if other people only knew what they were....just...weren't. Truly - if she's afraid to tell the crew, it's just kind of dumb. That crew can deal with it! That crew can deal with losing her, too. That crew would help her live whatever life she's got left to the T! She'd go to her grave skidding into it sideways with a party hat on, a drink in each hand, and a smile on her face!

Mal could deal with loving and losing her if he knew it was coming. Losing Inara to the dreaded malady wouldn't be the betrayal that loving and then being betrayed by the Independants was. Letting him be in love with her and then having her die without her ever telling him would blindside him twice, and that would not be fair, nor the adult thing to do.

She just has to tell them.

And none of this is to say that I don't like Inara. I like her a lot.I wish I could buy a bity little bottle of whatever it is that she has, 'cause she sure has beauty and class in buckets full.

Well, absolutely she shoulda said... but DRAMA!
I've had a lot of experience with dying and sympathy lately and I can safely say most people just aren't equipped for dealing with a slow death...They treat you very different. Maybe it was just her way of pretending nothing was wrong, for the time remaining...

Any conversation about these two characters and the comparison is bound to be framed in the sense of relationships, which makes it a shipper battle. Could just be taking about appearance wise, but the dozen or so comments before suggests no, this thread is what I thought it was, because it's getting into personalities and the respective manner of interactions.

So no, it ain't a discussion, but I'm not gonna fight anymore either.

Nandi.

Both women are flawed (ALL people are flawed - let me finish) but it seems to me that Nandi has accepted her flaws and moved past them while Inara has yet to face hers. Like so many people on Serenity, Inara is running from her past. Nandi isn't running any more, which is a very attractive quality to me.

Thus, Nandi is my choice.

I like both characters, and they’re both obviously attractive ladies, but for me it comes down to respect.

Inara doesn’t go back on her word, she keeps things professional, she said she wouldn’t service crew in trade and she never does. She offers to pay Mal out of her own money, which she has saved, to help her friend.

Nandi does whatever she wants without thinking of the consequences, she trades help, for desire and sex, she hurts her friend who has come to her aide, and she really mucks things up for Mal, in regards to Inara, because she takes what she wants, juxtaposed by her sexing Mal while Inara’s assisting Simon deliver a baby. I think if she would have lived, she would have been as regretful as Mal.

So my choice would be Inara based on the respect I have for what she does, rather than what she says.

All right, I said I wasn't gonna fight and let people have their thread. And I'm still not going to, but rather than choose one of the characters, and end up bothering the fans of either or both characters or ships, I'm going to play devil's advocate and bring up some hopefully pertinent discussion points.

1) With Inara's occupation acting much like a mask, and the short time we know Nandi, and considering that both characters are viewed relative to a non-neutral perspective (Mal), can we say we really know either character well enough to compare their merits?

Do we know that Nandi has her life all figured out, when she left the core and her old personality behind, adopted a new one, and started getting into trouble left and right? The appearance of confidence is not actual proof of self-assurance - see both Mal and Inara as well for example, we are only aware of their doubts because we are given time to see them.

Do we know that Inara is pretentious, especially when later she admits that the upper class isn't really her world, and suggests she's more comfortable around the down-to-earth crew of Serenity?

2) Is it possible that these two characters are really the same at heart? Both companions, both have had their share of ...partners and therefore both "put out," both were brought up in a core lifestyle, both left that behind to go out into the unknown. Nandi left because she felt that lifestyle was constricting. We don't know yet how or why Inara left, only that her manner of departure must have been more low-key as it did not result in her being expelled from the Guild and shunned.

Inara tries to hold on to core mannerisms, while Nandi has largely abandoned them as pointless.

Perhaps Nandi originally tried to hold onto the Core and Core values as well, which is what set her against the previous owner of the Heart of Gold (who abused the women). Theoretically the only difference between them may be the amount of time they've spent on the Rim and the amount of time they've had to adjust to Rim culture.

Well, that and Inara's secret.

3) Considering that secret, can we really compare their reactions and behaviours when there's a fairly major factor that holds Inara back, that Nandi doesn't have to deal with? I actually don't think we're seeing the contrast of ice and fire personality wise here.

Ahh, opposing council...

I dunno about professional, I seem to recall a "come to my shuttle moment" with Yo-saff... and a moment of advantage when Mal weren't conscious. I just think her rigidity was a mask for the job. The lady hath many layers, I hope we get to find out about 'em someday.

Also, Nandi said she didn't know about Mal and Inara, and appologized. Don't think she woulda gone there if she had known...And after all she is a glorified hooker on a border planet, with little else of real trade value, and Mal is a big boy who coulda said no and has no problem with that any other time...

Inara baits Saffron to come back to her shuttle to expose her con; she kisses Mal while he's unconscious because she's worried he's dead. I don’t consider either one of these servicing, under a Companion contract.

Nandi knew Mal had feelings for Inara, that’s what the first part of their conversation is about, and she still went there, based on an assumption that Inara had absolutely no feelings for Mal, if it even crossed her mind to ask, its impulsive behavior, which usually ends with disastrous results, which it does.

Inara displays a lot of personal integrity, in this circumstance, which seems to be missing from Nandi’s character.

It always bothered me about Nandi that she "learned how to say 'ain't'". I mean, come on, she was faking that whole border world accent! It makes me wonder if she was faking that whole border world tough and independent thing.

I have to admit, it bugs me enough that from day 1 I just assumed it was a quirk of the writers more than a real facet of the character. Joss wanted a tough Companion/whore who fit the Wild West, and she had to sound the part. Then he threw in the line about learning to say "ain't" to explain how someone who talks like that was once in Companion school.

Which, (sorry Joss, I'm really not worthy but I'm going to say it anyway) was just not good writing. Because if I'm going to take that line seriously, the women is a poser and a fake. I mean, she didn't just say "ain't." She played it all up! It's like walking into Southie and faking the talk. Just not cool. You'll get more respect by being who you are, then trying to convince people that you grew up rough and tumble when you didn't.

Also, Bytemite brings up a good point. It's easy to idolize the fling you've known for one day. Know her long enough, and the warts and the old underwear will come out. I'm sure Nandi had as many flaws as Inara, if only we'd had time to get to know her.

ETA: I don't really dislike Nandi, and I don't think she was intended to be a poser. But I have to defend poor Inara. OK, perhaps I need a separate post about Inara...

Exactly, both characters have their level of pretense, so I can only judge them by their actions we see in the episode. In this episode, they all lose, but Inara’s integrity is intact…I just love what she says about, “what she learned,” it says a lot about what kind of person she is.

What about the whole "I didn't fit in at Companion House -it was too restricting- Dulcimer playing incident?"

That has nothing to do with it - a poor rich girl with an attitude would do the same. Anyhow, if Nandi's that much of a wild spirit, why does she have to fake a whole accent just so she can fit into her new world? Nothing says *insecure* like a fake accent!

OK, but really, I think the writers meant her to be the free spirit that most people on this thread take her to be, and love so much. And I like that too. Which is why I'd rather accuse Joss of poor writing (Lord Joss forgive me LOL!) than really believe this of Nandi. I'd rather think that she faked the "proper" accent while in Companion school, then gave it up. Doesn't agree with the lines in the episode, but fits her character better.

Getting back to Inara - she was my least favorite character the first one or two (or five or ten) times I watched the series. Just plastic and flat. I really didn't like her.

Then I got into writing fanfic, and watched the series again looking for hints as to who Inara might really be under all that training. There are a few short moments that clue in to what she would have been if we'd had a few more seasons. I sincerely believe that the fakeness was carefully constructed, as something to be broken through. I think she has as much humor and spice as Nandi could hope to have, plus, as Platonist has spelled out, a whole lot more honor. Inara is deep. Sure, she has baggage, but...

Wait, are we saying whether we like Inara or Nandi better as pals we'd hang out with, or is the question Inara or Nandi as a better partners for Mal? Because Mal is Mr. Baggage himself. A healthy, well-adjusted woman shouldn't be within shooting distance of a relationship with that man. Inara is a better fit for him, imho. Not that I dislike Nandi, but I don't think she'd ever have really cut through his shell. Takes one to know one.

If it's the other question (ignoring Mal and 'ships) Inara's baggage just makes her more interesting to me, and her genuine kindness and gentleness would make me feel safe with her. She is "grace"-ful, in terms of accepting people for who they are. I'd hang out with her. I'd drink with Nandi, but I'd tell my darkest secrets to Inara.

Boy, are you arguing THAT with the wrong person... I use a dozen accents a day, especially when walking through the ethnic grocery store with my husband

I occaisionally use them with people I don't know just to have fun! I like to play that I come from many places and I'm good enough to fool alot of people. My husband does too...

It's funny. When I first watched the series, I liked Mal best, possibly because everyone kinda sees themselves as Mal a little, with me no exception. (little more neurotic than Mal is, but before fireflyfans I used to be pretty emotionally stunted, which if you can believe it writing fanfic helped)

But I always respected Inara right from that scene with her descending the stairs in the pilot. Anyone who can take that kind of abuse from someone like Mal has some serious backbone. So I was always looking for the deeper with Inara from that point on. And Joss similarly constructed the earlier scenes, with Inara's reactions to talking about Sihnon to raise even more questions about her depth.

I started trying to read mostly Mal focused fics, which is how I found yours, M4P, but then I began a long slow decline until I found myself really only reading Mal/Inara fics. To this day I am shamed, but there it is. I am a shipper. Maybe there are help support groups.

KATESFRIEND

SPOILER ALERT:

Inara's baggage always made her an interesting character for me. But in light of certain "revelations" this quote takes on new importance in evaluating Inara's character development in what would come next in the series. And the forces of character development between her and Nandi.

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Truth be told she loved the captain no matter what.......malady or no, she loved the captain. There's something to be said about true love, like that which the both of them had for Serenity.

I fell in love with Inara in the pilot, the look she gives Mal just as he tells her to get in the shuttle when they were being chased by the Reavers said it all.

In the BDM, loved her painting the Serenity symbol on the ship. It showed her love for Serenity.
