Inori

Inori is Arrows mate and Aspar's mother. She is a beautiful unicorn working for the land of Casonia.

First Encounter
Inori first meets Arrow in the woods when he is searching for clues on Dereks wherabouts in book 1, chapter 18, when Arrow's point of view is first announced.

Arrow is searching through the forest for clues as to where the Ritsu and the Shadow Realm have taken Derek after they poisoned him with resinax, the most powerful poison in the land. He stumbles across a unicorn, who, at the time, had her back turned toward him. She senses he is there and assumes it is one of the horses who are trying to capture her, so she ridicules and threatens Arrow, with her back still turned. Once Arrow convinces her to turn around, and she sees who he truly is, she is terrified, and apologizes immediately. Inori draws a knife from Arrows harness, and asks that he please kill her. Arrow advances, but drops the knife, stroking her mane instead.Arrow insists that they start over, and Inori introduces herself, claiming she has found a clue to Dereks whereabouts. After Inori has shown Arrow the clue, a group of five stallions arrive, wanting to capture her. Inori informs Arrow that they have captured many unicorns. Arrow suspects they are working for the Shadow Realm, and a fight breaks out. After defeating the group of stallions, Arrow invites her to join them on the search, but she refuses, saying that she must return to the castle.

Backstory
In Inori's birthplace, unicorns are rare and she was pursued often, be it by other stallions or hunters.

She came to Elsikin, the land Casonia, where magical creatures are a bit more plentiful in number, and resides in a cave not far from the kingdom under a waterfall. A lovely home she calls it.

After arriving there, she ended up working for Casonia out of an admiration for them. Plus, with the Shadow Realm gaining power, she only thought it right to aid them in this battle when they have done countless good deeds for all creatures without expecting thanks.

Her parents stayed well away from her for the sake of their own safety once they learned that she was the most powerful and beautiful unicorn the land had to offer. They knew that Ishewould be pursued by stallions and hunters alike and wanted no part in her struggle.

Appearance Inori is a beautiful mare, pure white as fresh snow. She has doe-like brown eyes. A blue and silver collar adorns her neck and flowers and beading decorate her lustrous mane and tail. A single, spiraled horn protrudes from her forehead, long and gleaming, and Ione can tell that it contains extraordinary power. The collar that she wears is not a kindar, as she is not a shape-shifter.
