Story[]
Route 1 & Crossroads[]
Inari is first encountered by the player when she runs directly into them at the end of Route 1. She hastily gets the player to battle her, in an attempt to get them to not tell on her. When she is defeated, she gives the player an Equipment Case and a Decorative Katana equipment, telling them to keep quiet.
She later reappears at The Crossroads, stealing the Opal Orb from TJ. The player must venture into Crystal Caverns to recover it. Upon defeating her, they can receive a reward at Graphite Lodge's Help Center.
Chef’s Valley[]
Her next appearance is at Chef's Valley, where she explains about Pandishi to Quincy, Suzie, and the player. This is also the first time that her clan, the Shadow Clan, is referenced by its name. Suzie explains that the Shadow Clan carries out thefts and infrequent assassinations. Inari quickly dismisses the part about assassinations as untrue. She then tells the group that the leader of the Shadow Clan owns a Pandishi, and that it can be difficult to deal with sometimes.
Lakewood Sewers[]
Once the player is able to obtain the Book Key, they are able to return to the Lakewood Sewers and unlock the Printing Facility. While the construction worker is trying to remove the blockage, Inari, Rufus, and the player decide to chat at Riffraff’s Lair. After Rufus tells them that he obtained the Forest Key from a bandit with no sanity, Inari tells Rufus and the player that she stole the Stone Key from the Museum Curator of the Doodle Museum of History. To pass the time, the two ask the player which one they want to battle. After the player finishes battling either Rufus or Inari, the construction worker finishes removing the blockage and Route 12 is now able to be accessed.
Underground Oasis Meeting[]
She is briefly mentioned by Mister Riffraff at DoodleCo Office J when he reveals that Yami, the ShadowClan Leader and 5th Executive, has had one of his subordinates (Inari) obtain a key. This means that Yami will surpass Ellen and become the 4th Executive.
