* BewareTheNiceOnes: Shori prefers to avoid unnecessary harm, but mess with her family and see what happens.
* BlatantLies: These get tossed around the Council like hot potatoes. The guilty expect their friends to protect them from judgement.

The fact that Shori's human DNA not only doesn't dampen her Ina strength and agility, but her melanin makes her more resistant to the sun than any other Ina. One Ina even points out that among humans in America, Blacks get the short stick from Whites.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Even the meanest, most bigoted Ina will instinctively protect their human symbionts. The staggering pain from loss of a symbiont is universal; some Ina even resent it. It would take an extreme act of will for an Ina to harm their own symbiont.
