[QUOTE="Donovan Morningfire, post: 4167083, member: 39532"] Noble to start, as that covers a lot of your bases right off the bat. As for species, Twi'lek is an option, but there is also the Zeltron, stats for which can be found in [url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=starwars/article/LOTFpreview2]Legacy of the Force minis preview #2[/url], which given the race's proclivity as bon vivants and hedonists (look 'em up on Wookieepedia for more info), they'd fit an Inara-type perfectly. Force sensitivity can go either way, as just having Use the Force as a trained skill provides a plethora of helpful little extras, and either race gives you a Charisma boost. And being able to bust out the Force-fu would be a heck of surprise for most opponents, not to mention having a Mind Trick or two up your sleeve when you go bust on a Deception/Persuasion check can be useful. If you do decide to go Force sensitive and don't want it as your primary schtick, don't take it as a starting feat, but instead multiclass at 2nd level into Jedi to gain it as a bonus feat. Unless you plan to be a saber-swinger, otherwise avoid the Jedi class, although Adept Negotiator would be a powerful option (especially if playing a Zeltron). Talent-wise you're better off sticking with Noble. If she's very well-off or has a lot of resources to draw upon, Wealth is a powerful starting option, as it will just get better and better the more Noble levels you take. Since it sounds like you want a bit of skill-monkey, Educated and Spontaneous Skill are good choices there. That said, a character in my group is playing a similar-type of character, and has made darn good use of Bolster Ally and Inspire Confidence, and just took Inspire Zeal last level, so that's another option to look into.
