▲'''Inadara''' is a lighteyed scholar and scribe
== Appearance and Personality ==
During one of the scholarly meetings in [[Urithiru]] she reported at length on her teams investigations into the city's rooms and passageways. Shallan thinks she looks wizened and is reminded of her fathers ardents. Inadara's report includes their findings on the tower's defensive constructions, air filtration, and wells, and also of clusters of oddly shaped rooms and murals with depictions of alien creatures.{{book ref|sa3|44}}▼
Inadara is an elderly, [[lighteyes|lighteyed]] woman; [[Shallan]] describes her as wizened, and similar to her father's [[ardent]]s.{{book ref|sa3|44}} She's rather severe and very set in her ways, and doesn't seem accustomed to not being in charge of a research project, pushing her own ideas even when they're supposed to be studying something else. She's also highly suspicious of things she doesn't understand, like [[Pattern]] and [[Knights Radiant]].{{book ref|sa2|81}} This being said, she's highly professional and can admit when she's wrong.{{book ref|sa2|51}}{{book ref|sa2|84}}
== History ==
Little is known about Inadara's life before the [[War of Reckoning]]. She appears to have made a name for herself during her youth, as by the [[Battle of Narak]], she's a well-known and well-respected scholar.{{book ref|sa2|81}} Her precise [[dahn]] is unknown, but she is important enough to have a palanquin carrying her around.{{book ref|sa2|51}}
Inadara accompanies [[Adolin]] when goes to parlay with [[Eshonai]]. She carries a [[spanreed]], and uses it to note down the entire conversation and to get [[Navani]] and [[Dalinar]]'s opinions on what Adolin should say next.{{book ref|sa2|51}}
During the [[Battle of Narak]], she is assigned to work with [[Shallan]] on finding and discovering the [[Oathgate]], and takes it upon herself to order the scouts assisting them. She also wants to study Pattern, suspecting him of being a [[Voidbringer]]. After Pattern insults her in return, she joins the other scholars in discussing the map of the Plains, and eventually decides to send her entire group onto the [[Narak]] plateau, hoping to find more information there.{{book ref|sa2|81}} When Shallan diverts the team to what she believes to be the Oathgate platform instead, Inadara is initially dismissive, believing that a location of such strategic importance wouldn't be so visible.{{book ref|sa2|83}}
Upon entering the Oathgate control chamber, Inadara changes her tune completely. She seems shocked, observing the chamber in awe and declaring that she no longer knows what is correct and what is wrong.{{book ref|sa2|84}} While she does take her time to note [[Renarin]]'s growing distress, she is otherwise distressed herself by what's happening around her.{{book ref|sa2|85}} By the time Shallan uses the Oathgate to transport everyone to Urithiru, she's utterly overwhelmed.{{book ref|sa2|86}}
