History
Inara started life on Trill as a young woman who never considered herself proper material for symbiosis. She only pursued the rigorous academic and physical training at her parents insistence. When she matured as an adult, she felt that she did not want to undergo symbiosis however her parents, and her sister who recieved the well known Tell Symbiont, had great amounts of influence with the Symbiosis Commission.
To avoid a fate she didn't want, she left Trill and ran away to Starlfeet Academy. She saw the Symbiosis Trials as more of a Rat Race and her parents as 'cheat helpers' in the race. Her desertion of her family was not without consequence, as she had been fully disowned by her entire family. When that happened, Inara knew that they cared only about their prestige and not about how she felt.
However, she would excel her chosen field at the Academy. She found the physical demands of Security and Tactical more fitting than the Academic pressure imposed upon her by her parents. She found Security as her way of preventing people from imposing their will on others, which formed the basis of her core beliefs that each person or being was free to create themselves at their will.
While at the Academy, Inara meet a Trill by the name of Tallen Kain. And their relationship was rocky at the start. Tallen reminded Inara of everything she hated at home on Trill. The Symbiosis Commission, her Parents Influence, even the thought of being forced into being joined. From the moment they meet, Inara castigated Tallen so much that both of them were assigned to the Counselor's just to resolve their differences.
However, Inara and Tallen would not need a Counselor to resolve their feud, but themselves. During a routine shuttle run near Titan, Tallen got adventurous and tried to do a Titan's Turn. However, he came in too steep and the shuttle crashed on Titan's Surface. Starfleet spent nearly three days combing Titan's Atmosphere for the two Trill in order to finally find them desperately in love.
At first Inara tried to choke Tallen for the incident and, when choking seemed more difficult than first imagined, she threw pieces of debris at Tallen. One the second day, Inara calmed down, and the two started to help each other survive in the damaged shuttlecraft, while doing so, they developed a mutual respect for each other, and finally, friendship. They finally eloped on the third day just as they were beamed out of the shuttlecraft.
They were reprimanded for the clash, but they still passed the Academy. They were officially married the day after graduation, and would serve together and several posts. Mostly, Starbases and Space Stations. When they were assigned to the Pacifica, it was to be their first shipboard assignment. However, things would go terribly wrong.
A malfunction critically damaged the shuttlecraft that Inara and Tallen were taking to the Pacifica. A console explosion mortally wounded Tallen, but left Inara with little more than a few scrapes. By this time, they were in range of the Pacifica and were beamed to sickbay moments before the shuttle exploded.
However, a dilemma faced the Medical Staff, Tallen was dying, and so would Kain if another host was not found. Inara finally decided, against her fear of being joined, to allow the procedure. She would carry the memories of the man she loved.
