Moroha

is the tritagonist in the anime series Hanyō no Yashahime. She is the only daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome Higurashi, a quarter-demon bounty hunter who slays demons and sells their parts to other demon slayers

History
Moroha knows very little of her parents, as she has lived alone. Inuyasha and Kagome apparently never told anyone about Moroha (Kohaku didn't know who she was and was surprised a demon like her has spiritual powers, which are typically exclusive to humans).

She eventually becomes a bounty hunter, as well as obtaining the yōkai sword Kurikaramaru. She gains the nicknames, and.

During the Story
When Moroha was in the mountains waiting for her next target to appear, she was confronted by group of yōkai taijiya, including Kohaku and his nephew Hisui, due to the rumors of a yōkai rampaging through a nearby village. Just as His was about to confront her, Kohaku stopped him and asked Moroha if she was after the real culprit, to which she confirmed, but was still prepared to attack them due to them having provoked her. Moroha then took out a shell compact containing a mysterious rouge with a red pearl at the center and was about to apply some on her lips, but was suddenly confronted by Setsuna. As the two of them battled, Setsuna's right eye began to mysteriously glow, applarently reacting to Moraha's red pearl due to it containing another pearl within it. It was then that the ōmukade Mistress Three-Eyes appeared from underground and attempted to obtain Moroha and Setsuna's pearls, which caused and abrupt end to the fight. Moroha engaged Mistress Three-Eyes with her sword Kurikaramaru, but it was unable to cut her. Moroha then followed up with a barrage of sacred arrows. They had manage to strike Mistress Three-Eyes, but she still managed to telekinetically steal Moroha's pearl and swallowed it, thus increasing her power. Afterwords, Mistress Three-Eyes turned her attention towards Setsuna and attempted to claim her pearl as well, but latter managed to escape with the aid of Hisui and Kirara. The three of them then lured her to Kaede with the hopes that she could purify her. As they approached Kaede's village, Setsuna decided to fight Mistress Three-Eyes since she was her target. As they began to fight, Moroha interfered and claimed that Mistress Three-Eyes was her target from the start. Setsuna simply ignored Moroha and charged towards Mistress Three-Eyes, but was unable to kill her. Mistress Three-Eyes then restrained Setsuna and managed to steal her pearl and become much stronger. As Mistress Three-Eyes was about to kill Setsuna, the Goshinboku near where they were fighting suddenly opened up a portal and transported them, as well as Moroha, to the Higurashi shrine in the Modern era.

Personality
Although she has a cheerful and friendly personality from her mother, Moroha has a dangerous temper, inherited from her father, and when rampaging is known as the "Crimson Night Demon of National Destruction" (国崩しの紅夜叉, kuni-kuzushi no kurenaiyasha).

Like her father, she can be impulsive such as attacking without thinking, which can leave her open after attacking an enemy. In addition, she seems to lack a sense of modesty as she does not mind being seen naked.

Due to her years as a bounty hunter, Moroha is very knowledgable about various yōkai.

Physical Description
Moroha is a young woman with long black hair that is tied into a ponytail, with two locks of it sticking out on each side of her face. Due to the thinness of her yōkai blood (only one-quarter yōkai), Moroha doesn't show any visible demon traits (normal eyes, hair, or fangs), other than slightly enlarged canines, clawed fingernails, and her demonic power.

Outfit
Moroha wears the Robe of the Fire-rat (most likely inherited from her father) She also wears a red, ragged cape, red hair ribbon, a pair of red leg warmers with black bows, and red fingerless gloves.

Like her father, Moroha doesn't wear any shoes.

Powers & abilities
Moroha is both an archer and swordfighter, just like her parents. She has apparently inherited some of her mother's spiritual power, as she can infuse her arrows with purifying energy.
 * Enhanced Smell: Like her father, Moroha has a stronger sense of smell than humans. She could easily detect a yōkai disguised as a human.
 * Enhanced Stamina: Like her father, Moroha's stamina far exceeded human standards despite being a quarter demon. She was able to run and leap vast distances at great speeds without slowing down during rescuing her cousin when was captured by shogunate adviser from Kanto Region.
 * Demonic Aura Sensitivity: Moroha can feel demonic energies. When she met Setsuna, she immediately noticed that she was a half-demon. She later recognized Towa as a half-demon. Moroha also told Setsuna that Towa was telling the truth when she claims to be her sister because her two auras would be very similar. Moroha also realized that they must both be the daughters of Sesshomaru.
 * Time Travel: Like her mother, Moroha can travel through time between Modern and Feudal era.

Equipment

 * Robe of the Fire-Rat: A red colored garment which protects the wearer from burning flames and other external forces.
 * Kurikaramaru: TBA
 * The sheath of Kurikaramaru: TBA
 * Bow and arrow: Her secondary choice of weaponry, Moroha infuses her spiritual energy into the arrows to attack her opponents.
 * Sacred Arrows: Similar to her mother, Moroha is able to fire sacred arrows. Her arrow flies in the air, where it splits into several arrows and hits the enemy.
 * Red Rainbow Pearl: A small red jewel that contains mystical powers which she keeps hidden in a shell compact.

Inuyasha
Inuyasha is her father. Moroha doesn't seem to have a clue about him, as she didn't react to his name being uttered by her maternal grandmother. It's possible that she doesn't know about her parents and grew up alone. This explains why Moroha doesn't know anything about her paternal and maternal relatives right now.

Kagome Higurashi
Kagome is her mother. Moroha doesn't seem to have a clue about her, as she didn't react to her name being uttered by her maternal grandmother. It's possible that she doesn't know about her parents and grew up alone. This explains why Moroha doesn't know anything about her paternal and maternal relatives right now.

Towa Higurashi
Towa is her paternal half-cousin. They didn't know that they were related and met for the first time in their teens. Moroha explained to Towa what half-demons are and revealed that she is one of them too. She was impressed that Towa could create a demonic blade, but annoyed because she thought she was too reluctant to fight. For some unknown reason, she didn't want Setsuna to fight Towa. At the same time, she doesn't seem to have any emotional closeness to her. When Setsuna was putting her to sleep, she casually asked if she'd killed her. Besides, Moroha somehow knows that Towa is Sesshōmaru's daughter, whereas Towa didn't know about it.

Setsuna
Setsuna is her paternal half-cousin. It is implied that Moroha and Setsuna did not know each other at all, or at least did not know each other until attacked by Mistress Three-Eyes. Hisui and Setsuna didn't even know Moroha was a quarter-demon and believing her to be a full demon were surprised that she could shoot sacred arrows. They also wrongly believed her to be guilty of attacking a village. Moroha herself would express a liking towards Setsuna's naginata, opining that the latter should have no qualms of surrendering it over to Moroha if she bests Setsuna fairly in a fight. Besides, Moraha somehow knows that Setsuna is Sesshōmaru's daughter, whereas Setsuna didn't know about it.

Sesshōmaru
Sesshōmaru is her paternal half-uncle. Moroha does not know that they are related, and it seems that she has never met him in person. However, she seems to treat Sesshōmaru with reverence, because he is a great dog demon. Besides, Moroha somehow knows that Towa and Setsuna are Sesshōmaru's daughters, when they had no idea and had not even met their father.

Mei Higurashi
Mei is her maternal cousin.

Sōta Higurashi
Sōta is her maternal uncle. Moroha does not know that they are related, but Sōta suspects that she may be his niece. Moroha does not feel any affection for him at the moment, although she is grateful for the hospitality.

Moe Higurashi
Moe is her aunt-in-law. They first met when Moroha was 14 years old and she visiting the modern era for the first time. Together with Sōta, Moe suspects that she may be Kagome's daughter. The aunt is quite friendly to her newfound niece, but it seems that Moe is really confused by Moroha's primitive habits (for example, appearing naked after a shower in front of other people). Moroha does not feel any affection for her at the moment, although she is grateful for the hospitality.

Ms. Higurashi
She is Moroha's maternal grandmother. This woman noticed that Moroha had Kagome's eyes, so she began to suspect that this teen is her granddaughter, although she did not tell Moroha about it.

Grandpa Higurashi
He is Moroha's maternal great-grandfather.
