Importance Sophia Madsen

Inara first met Sophia Madsen when they lived together in a studio apartment with several other girls and worked together at the Evening Star.

At that point all Inara knew about Sophia was that she was once a prostitute who was addicted to drugs. Sophia was working to get herself clean so she could get back custody of her two daughters. Sophia acted as the housemother of the apartment in which she and the other girls lived.
