Powers/Abilities/Talents :
She is well versed in the art of healing. By the time she reached her seventeenth year she was single-handedly battling famine and disease within the ranks of her fellow village folk. And, being a miko, and an especially potent one at that, she is able to detect and see demons of most every sort, even if they are invisible. [Such as minions of the underworld come to crawl upon the bodies of still-living, but mortally wounded soldiers.]

Her preferred method of attack, and defense, has to do with her spiritual abilities. Through touch alone she can purify many things that have been corrupted by demonic energy, or, on the same note, blast them away. But her powers, in offensive situations at least, are more often than not relayed through a sacred arrow. And on that note, it's prudent to mention that that she is also a master bowman.

Description :

Attitude Check:
Before death, she was a gentle, if very lonely soul who, despite everything she stood for, longed for a much simpler life. After the betrayal, she was left with nothing but her duty to protect the jewel, and the village folk she had so recklessly put in danger. Today, what little soul she has left is paralyzed in the moment she died, leaving her emotions in turmoil. With love battling an overriding hatred.

Kikyou is a very strange individual. She is very cold and mysterious. You never know what she’ll do. Her main goal in life is to reclaim the love she lost with her old lover InuYasha. She also can become very jealous especially towards Kagome. She is also full of sorrow and hatred. She is deeply scarred from the past. She is also often confused about what she really wants. She also is confused about who she truly is.

Kikyou is also very self-willed and determined. She never gives up no matter what. She will never give up when it comes to Inu Yasha. She can also be very caring when given the chance. No matter how cruel she may seem she still has to have the caring hand of a healer. Kikyou is also very obsessive especially when it comes to (you guess it InuYasha) Sometimes she comes across like she really needs no one but she really does need love that’s what she yearns for. She can also be very shy. She also seems to like children.

Mirror:
Kikyou wears traditional Japanese clothing. She wears a white kimono and the red skirt. She also seems to be tall my guess would be near six feet tall. Her hair is a dark black and very long. It is mostly seen tied in a white ribbon behind her head. But I have also seen it in the two circles by her ears. She looks very pale (but that’s to be suspected I mean she really isn’t truly living.)She seems to walk with an air of beauty one her reincarnation Kagome doesn’t have. Kagome is a klutz while Kikyou is graceful. Kikyou is also rather thin. But what one thing you can easily identify her is the force field of sadness and hate around her.

Her face is what makes her look truly sad. She hardly ever smiles except when she is taking care of some one. The sadness is also seen in her eyes. She seems to have cold eyes that once held beauty. Her eyes are a puppy dog brown color. She is very delicate and meek but she has a strength that you wouldn’t expect. She is also never seen without her soul stealers or her bow and arrows. If you looked for her she would probably be found stalking the InuYasha gang and looking at Kagome with pure hate.

Return to the Past :
Fifty years ago, in an obscure little village in feudal Japan, a priestess was approached by a rag tag group of demon slayers. Drawn by rumors of her amazing spiritual powers, and her purity, they beseeched her to protect a long-guarded treasure of their village: The legendary, if horribly corrupted fragment of stone that was the Shikon no Tama.

She accepted the duty in a quiet, demure manner that had then and even now become characteristic of her, and then they were gone, leaving her the burden of keeping the precarious balance of power within it. But her story doesn't end there, far from it. In her constant battles with the demons who sought the jewel, she would find a friend, a boy who would change her life forever. Rouse her heart in ways she had never known before and make her, for the first time in her life, long to become an ordinary woman.

But unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, fate has a way of teasing the red strings that bind people together, and for it, brought a Priestess and a half-blooded dog demon together with an undeniable link between them: Loneliness. At first as rivals, then with grudging acceptance, and finally as friends and later, lovers. Trust was a hard thing for either to give, but they did, and thus a fateful promise was made, and that trust was broken. Utterly.

Lying in a pool of her own blood, blinking tears from her eyes, she screamed as she watched him walk away with Shikon no Tama, laughing as though everything had simply been a joke. Collecting was remained of her strength, she hobbled to the village, determined to protect those who would otherwise become victims of her own foolishness. In the end, both lovers would lay dead in a tragedy that would paralyze her soul even to this day.

Fifty years later, an ogress by the name of Urasue desecrated Kikyou's grave and stole an urn filled with the priestess' ashes. Her reasons for this all lay in her lust for the power of the Shikon no Tama. She believed that if she revived Kikyou, then the girl would become her puppet and detect jewel shards for her. It was not to be. The new body never awakened, and Urasue was left to puzzle over this, getting frustrated over the waste of time and materials. But within a few moments, the body she held in her hand began to shift towards the entrance and the ogress, following the doll's line of vision, spotted Kagome on the bridge that led to her cave and realized that Kikyou's soul had been reincarnated into the girl.

Wasting no time, she kidnapped her and placed her body in a tub of liquefied magical herbs. Some time later, InuYasha arrived on the scene, watching in horror as the soul within Kagome alighted her body as it struggled to stay with her. But that quickly became a secondary thing when he spied Kikyou sitting against a rock some feet away. Immediately, her desperate voice calls to the hanyou, begging him not to say her name. Guess what he does?

In maelstrom of bright light and motion, the soul comes zooming back to Kikyou, impaling her body and sending her high into the air. An instant later, her warmly resplendent figure floats to the ground, and Kikyou opens her eyes for the first time in about half a century. Urasue, stunned, immediately starts to babble commands and reasons to follow them. The priestess stumbles forwards and lays her hands on the ogress' shoulders. Spiritual energy burns through her skin and decimates Urasue's body, sending her head lolling to the wayside.

After a heart wrenching dialogue with InuYasha, where she accuses him of betraying her, the hanyou envelopes the priestess in a hug and tries to explain himself and soothe her. [Manga.] In the end, she sheds tears before blasting him away with her spiritual powers, screaming that she won't find any peace until he joins her in death. It's at that moment that Kagome calls her soul back, and Kikyou struggles away with what little of it she has left. InuYasha immediately follows and arrives scantly in time to grab the girl before she falls off the side of a cliff. Once again, she blasts him in her anger and he accidentally lets go, and she falls seemingly to her death.

Surprisingly, Kikyou survives to tell her tale, and seek revenge on the one who was truly responsible for her death, and InuYasha’s. The demon Naraku.
