You basically hit all the high points of Inara from Firefly/Serenity there, so what about Morena Baccarin? Just downshifted an octave or so.
Morituri:
FWIW, as far as Erica Moen:
I see her as somebody who did some mistaken things, learned that they were mistakes, and doesn't do them any more. Everybody has learning experiences, right? I don't have a problem with her, and consider some mistakes to have been pretty much inevitable and expected given the subject matter.
She does straight-talk about sex and physical issues and relationships, pretty unfiltered. And she tries to do it honestly, in a way that people just learning these things about themselves can relate to.
It's easy to avoid offending people if you use the formal conventions and make yourself sound like a lecturer that nobody will relate to or trust. People ignore TONS of those sites, because they make everything sound boring and sound like lectures from distant people who have nothing at stake and don't give a damn. Moen gets support from educators and even rights groups, and wins awards, because she does NOT engage at that arms-distance that makes all those other sites unrelatable and thus ignored.
But, face it, there's a reason for that arms-distance posture. She writes (and draws) about sex. If Moen stopped every time she was going to offend somebody, her work wouldn't exist. If she stopped every time people told her she ought to stop, her work wouldn't exist. She's really and truly not able to take anyone else's word about when to stop and where to draw the line, and still get anything done at all. So she's on her own. A few mistakes are to be expected.
I remember her being wrong once about how poly relationships worked, and being a little irked. But within the next two or three strips, she corrected herself based on reader feedback and research from sources they'd brought her, and apologized and totally owned her mistake. And there I forgave it, and she's never done it again. Lesson learned, as far as I can see. That's what an honorable person does when they find out they've made a mistake. But there are always going to be mistakes to learn from.

If she were still alive I'd say the first lady of computer voices Majel Barrett-Roddenberry.

Ooooh, good one. Can't believe I didn't think of her!
fayelovesbubbles:
I had a looong list of actresses to play Bubbles. Adding Morena Baccarin, her voice could work too.
