After reflection, Star Wars character accommodating right Shakespearean spirit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ariel

'shakespearean spirit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'after reflection star wars character accommodating right' is the wordplay.
'after reflection' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'star wars character' becomes 'leia' (I've seen this in another clue).
'accommodating' indicates putting letters inside.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'leia' enclosing 'r' is 'leira'.
'leira' backwards is 'ARIEL'.

(Other definitions for ariel that I've seen before include "Arabian mountain gazelle" , "Swallows" , "Disney character" , "Would 'e rail against the spirit in The Tempest?" , "Sycorax victim (Tempest)" .)
