INUYASHA || 💘

Appearance:

He is of average height, 168 cm (5'6"), with a slim build that belies his enormous strength. Like his half-brother Sesshōmaru, he has a thick mane of waist-length silvery-white hair, thick dark eyebrows, golden eyes with slit-like pupils, claws on each of his fingers, and short fangs in his mouth. His ears are furry and pointed like a dog's. His nose, despite appearing normal, is always wet unless he has caught a cold, in which case it dries out. Jakotsu, or Kagome, is also described as handsome. He always wears his red kariginu made from the skin of the fire rat (Hinezumi), which is fireproof and protects Inuyasha from burns. Inuyasha also always walks barefoot.

Personality:

Even when his life was in danger, Inuyasha refused to back down. Enemies were baffled by his unorthodox fighting style, and he achieved victories greater than his skills would suggest or reach. Inuyasha was driven by a fierce and persistent determination to win, and his grit in battle proved to work in his favor. However, his volatile emotions could often lead him to behave very childishly. Inuyasha himself could not control his tumultuous soul. Even when gravely injured, he would completely forget his pain the moment someone he was trying to protect was in danger. Because of this, his emotions pushed his body beyond its limits.

Inuyasha:

He is the hanyō son of a great yokai, known as Inu no Taishō and a human mother named Izayoi When he fully assumes his human form, Inuyasha's demonic claws and fangs, as well as his dog ears, disappear. His silvery-white hair changes to black, and his golden eyes change to brown. All Hanyo, like Inuyasha, lose their demonic power for a period of time; in his case, he loses his powers during the night of the new moon. On the night of the new moon, his hair turns black; his eyes brown, he loses yōkai abilities and attributes (namely his fangs, dog ears, and claws), and was only able to use Steel Fang in its katana form. During the night of the new moon before the sun sets, Inuyasha suffered pre-transformation symptoms, such as losing his keen sense of smell, before finally becoming human. [ Arguably, his ears are the biggest change: while the rest of his body demonstrates a physical transformation, such as claws turning into fingernails and toenails, his dog ears simply disappear, to be replaced by human ears that appear on the sides of his head.
