Inara Serra is a character in "Firefly" and its follow-ups.

A number of possible historical antecedents have been suggested for "Companions":

Hindi temple dancers^[2]
Geishas, in Japan^[3]
Courtesans in ancient Greece, 16th-18th century Europe
Hookers in the US 19th century West; the character and profession simultaneously reference and subvert that role.^[4]
