Relationships

 * Sōta Higurashi

Sōta is her husband. The two are shown to rely on one another for support and are very close. She apparently believed the stories Sōta disclosed to her about Inuyasha and the Bone-Eater's Well, displaying a very trusting relationship.


 * Mei Higurashi

Mei is Moe’s biological daughter. Moe has a typical mother-daughter relationship with Mei, and is very loving towards her daughter. She is also comforting towards her as well, consoling her when she began crying after Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha journeyed to the feudal era. Moe, likewise, loves her mother dearly.


 * Towa Higurashi

Towa is Moe’s adoptive daughter, having raised her with Sōta ever since he found her at the Higurashi household. Despite knowing that she was a half-demon, Moe happily accepted Sōta’s decision to adopt her and loved her as if she were her own. Moe has also shown to be very forgiving and lenient towards Towa, despite her tendency to get into fights with bullies at school. Every time she came home after a fight, Moe would play her violin to relax Towa. Like Sōta, she was proud and happy for Towa to return to the feudal era and looked forward to her eventual return. Towa, in turn, loves her stepmother dearly and is grateful for having raised her.

Moroha is her niece-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 (according to Ms. Higurashi). 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

After traveling to the modern era, Setsuna is taught how to play the violin by Moe. She quickly excels at playing it to the point where Moe considers her to by a prodigy.

Trivia

 * Moe's trait of always having her eyes closed is similar to Tamako from another of Rumiko Takahashi's series.
 * Sōta had told her at some point about Kagome's adventure, given how rather quickly she accepts the craziness of Moroha and Setsuna's arrival.
