Inorai Valualeta Atroholm

, also known as , is the Lord of the Department of Creation of the Clock Tower in Lord El-Melloi II Case Files.
==Profile==
===Background===
She was the Magecraft teacher of Touko Aozaki, Souren Araya, and Cornelius Alba. As the head of the Valualeta family, she is a key member of the Democratic faction in the Clock Tower that believes bloodline should be disregarded and those with the talent should be in charge. She is very eager to have Lord El-Melloi II join her side, despite the El-Melloi family being part of the Aristocratic faction.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 2: case.

===Personality===
In a manner of speaking, she is the idealized image of a Magus. She navigates the political sphere as easily as she breathes, and progresses her research in Magecraft as easily as she walks. The fact she strongly supported the Sealing Designation of her favorite pupil Touko is a simple manifestation of that nature. Thinking there were issues of greater importance that took precedence, such a conclusion was only natural for her, and so she didn’t hesitate for a moment in her decision. Feeling no sense of contradiction or conflict in her own character, she is like a mountain ascetic still entrenched in the ways of the world, a perfect and powerful woman.
Personifying the concept that what the people of any given age loved was to be considered art, unlike many Magi of her advanced age, she thoroughly enjoys brand new technologies, like her iPod and her personal computer. Though she as an air of approachability to anyone regardless of their relative standings, her total lack of any pretense has the terrifying effect of feeling like she can see through you right down to your very core.
By nature, such pretense and complexity is necessary for humans.
These are inventions created by humans so that society can move along unhindered, after all.
For a member of one of the Three Great Aristocratic Families, removing that necessary element from everything is a suitable kind of monstrosity, don’t you think?

===Lord El-Melloi II Case Files===
====case. Twin Towers of Iselma====

Inorai is one of the guests invited to the Iselma Social Assembly for the presentation of the Princesses of Gold and Silver. She meets and talks to Reines El-Melloi Archisorte and Gray, finding Gray's frank questions amusing enough to laugh and not get offended. She offers Reines and the El-Melloi faction as a whole valuable classrooms if they join her Democratic Faction. She witnesses the overwhelming beauty of the Princesses. When she goes outside to smoke a cigarette, she encounters her old pupil Touko Aozaki and they share a package of Dragon Smoke together.
====Grace Note====
Inorai and Rocco Belfeban watch Lord El-Melloi II give a lecture to his class and later, alongside Bram Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri, speak to him about how simple the lecture was and how they can't understand the need for a Lord to explain such basics. The conversation then turns to the Fourth Holy Grail War ten years ago and how El-Melloi II rebuilt Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald's class after his death.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files: Grace Note - Episode 0: "A Grave Keeper, a Cat, and a Mage ~There is no such thing as "truth".~"
When El-Melloi II's student Svin Glascheit graduates to the rank of Pride, Inorai observes the ceremony from afar. She comments to herself on how many of his students have reached high ranks, and is impressed by how his teaching skills are a bit scary.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files: Grace Note - Episode 13: "The Clock Tower, Usual Days, and the First Step Forward to the Future"

==Abilities==
Inorai is ranked Brand, the highest practical rank in the Mage's Association. She has the triple Element Affinity of Water, Earth, and Wind. Her specialty is Sympathetic Magecraft. Though she only showed a brief look at her abilities in the series, she is especially skilled with Magecraft using sand, and the small bag she carries around with her at all times can spill out an immeasurable amount of it.
==Development==
===Creation and Conception===
Inorai was named by Nasu Kinoko. As someone in a position of such enormous power in the Clock Tower, the author of Case Files Makoto Sanda begged Nasu to be the one to name her.
As the teacher of Araya, Touko, and Cornelius, more care was taken in writing her for Case Files than any other character. That being said, when asked about her general image by Sanda, the response that came back from Nasu was “Got it. I’ll leave it all up to you, Mr. Sanda.” The insane image Type Moon had garnered up to that point had just been reinforced. One could say that was the point the author came to terms with the fact that Case Files was going to be accelerated as a whole.
