I also read some disparaging remarks about Inara on another board, and wanted to make this comment...
Inara is a very tough fighter. During the Jessie vs Inara catfight, Jessie pulls out a large chunk of Inara's hair.
Inara let's out an expletive in pain, then taunts Jessie by telling her:
“you can keep that piece as a souvenir, that’s all your getting!”
Great stuff! I'd love to see Inara in another catfight.
