wytchcroft | Let's shine a light on Nandi... (Thanks people! YOU RULE!)

So...

...i'm trying to clear my head and start from scratch about Nandi and see if the story i have in mind is right for her. Sometimes they don't fit the characters i hope they will - or that inspire them in the first place... Inara's done that to me - and Book - and River too.

So... my primary question is about time;
How much time between the Guild and the palais de tin foil in Heart of Gold.

I'm interested in where the girls came from - were they on the planet already - or did they come with Nandi? (yeah yeah, that's the ears on my plot bunny sticking up)...

The Dulcimer story;
I don't buy it, too neat and too funny, so what incident(s) caused Nandi to detach from the life of a Companion?

And lastly of course Nandi herself.
Who is she, what is her character and when did it chrystalize into the Nandi of HOG (Oh and there's the bunny's whiskers!)?

So - a lot of questions... I'd like to thrash em out on someone's lj age but shoot, everyone's disappeared!

Advice would be shiny!

Discussion would be the thing that comes after shiny!!:)

Makes me think that Nandi has contacts out in the 'verse - not completely alone. And that someone is keeping tabs on Inara. Aware of the kind of ship she is on. I really can't imagine Inara bragging about Mal's criminal endeavors to her friends back home.

I'm also thinking those contacts would be Companions. they strike me as a close set - a sisterhood. Maybe Sheydra? Sheydra knows what Mal is - she calls him a pirate. And their friendship seems not new, as in not just forged when Inara went to the Training House.

Yeah my money's on Sheydra.

Do you think so?
I dont' know why, but I find that so.... Convenient. I mean, there's lots of Companions out there, why'd her contact have to be the only other one we really get to see in the franchise? I get that it's cuz she's out there on the rim too, but, I dunno. Something about it just rubs me wrong. Maybe it's the fact that I didn't care much for Sheydra *shrug*

I'll have to think on this to form some opinions I think, more than just my knee-jerk no-reaction to Sheydra...

i can understand your mis-givings, Sheydra is a bit... Sopranos actually!:D

but i guess we're used to seeing characters recurring so... without creating an OC, it limits individual choices.
