Ayame

is the granddaughter of the Northern wolf tribe leader, Yōrōzoku. She was once saved by Koga as a little girl and was promised marriage when she got older. She later grows up and comes after Koga, saying that since he now has jewel shards, he is worthy of ruling her wolf clan. She is very persistent, and tries to use force several times on him. When Koga says (as a way to get rid of her) that he will only marry a woman who can sense the Shikon Jewel shards, she announces that she will train herself to sense them like Kagome (though Miroku makes it clear that it is probably impossible). In Part III, Koga keeps his promise to her and they finally marry, and Koga becomes the chief of the Wolf Demon Tribe.

Trivia

 * Ayame is a filler character, meaning she did not originally appear in the manga. However, due to Rumiko Takahashi's fondness for the character, she was referenced by name in the manga.
 * As stated by Ayame when she first met Kagome, they have the same name (in truth, it's just the last part of their name).
 * When she first meets Koga, Ayame tells him she will train to use the iris she is holding as a weapon, since she and the flower "have the same name." This is because "Ayame" means "iris."
