Description

Personality

When Kikyo was alive, she was quiet, but a gentle, caring priestess. She always felt alone though, with the burden of keeping the Jewel safe, she had always felt different from the others. Now, after being resurrected and believing Inuyasha to be her greatest enemy, she has become much more colder, independent, condescending and revengeful. Whether she will return to her kind nature still remains to be seen...

History

Kikyo is a powerful shrine maiden who was given the task of guarding the Shikon Jewel. She falls in love with InuYasha and considers using the jewel to turn him from a half-demon into a full human; this would cause the Shikon Jewel to vanish, allowing her to live as an ordinary woman by his side. However, Naraku disguises himself as InuYasha to attack her village, mortally wounding her. With her last strength, Kikyo shoots a charmed arrow into the real InuYasha to seal him to a sacred tree, then orders the Shikon Jewel to be burned with her. The jewel disappears and is apparently destroyed, but is reborn 500 years later in the body of Kagome Higurashi, her spiritual reincarnation.

After Kagome travels back through time and reappears fifty years after Kikyo's death, an ogress tries to pull her reincarnated soul into a clay body made with Kikyo's bones and ashes. Kagome appears to suffer no permanent harm, but a small part of her soul detaches and reanimates the new body with Kikyo's memories, personality, and human appearance. Although Kikyo retains some of her old powers in this form, she remains technically "dead" and must absorb the souls of dead women in order to move.

Kikyo still does not know the truth of what happened 50 years ago, believing the Inuyasha betrayed her. Her only wish that keeps her alive is to drag Inuyasha down to Hell with her.
