Kin'u

is Miroku and Sango's daughter, Gyokuto's elder identical twin sister, and the eldest of their three children. She was the only one who followed in her father's footsteps in possessing spiritual/Buddhist powers to become an 'Ama' (尼, a Buddhist nun).

History
Kin'u, alongside Gyokuto, were born in a house at Kaede's village.

Not much is known about Kin'u’s childhood/teenage years because the anime only shows her briefly as a child alongside Gyokuto when Rin is giving birth to Towa and Setsuna on the night of the lunar eclipse.

Years later, Kin'u (now an adult) seems to have followed in her father's footsteps and became a nun.

Personality
Kin'u treated Inuyasha just like Kagome did when she first met him, calling him "Doggy" and petting his ears. As usual, Inuyasha was annoyed by this as he did not like his ears being touched by anyone. Kin'u acted like most toddlers would, seeing as how she was curious and still so young. Kin'u, along with Gyokuto, also enjoy playing with Shippō in a way that is not enjoyable to him.

As an adult, Kin'u, seems to not take things seriously and openly makes fun of her father when he comes up with new ways to train. Kin'u also reacts defensively when Hisui insinuates that she isn't a brave older sister like Towa. Kin'u is more outgoing, playful, cheerful and childlike.

Physical description
Kin'u bare a striking resemblance to her mother and her younger twin sister as she have dark brown hair with short bangs, and bright brown eyes. She wears a light green kimono with green bows and a rose-colored sash, and her hair is tied up into a small ponytail by a white ribbon.

As an adult, Kin'u wears a nun's attire with a saffron sash, a black robe, brown woven sandals and a necklace of fuchsia beads. She wears her short hair down in a bob cut.

Powers and abilities
Kin'u becomes a nun (female version of a monk) and has her own spiritual powers that she yet to display and develop fully.
