Shion

Shion(紫苑,しおん,Violet Garden) is a half-demon from Horai Island. He is very shy, and he appears only in the fourth InuYasha movie.

Appearance
Shion is a dark-skinned, skinny, half-demon child. He has purple hair and what appear to be goat horns, safely letting people assume he is half goat-demon or something of the sort. He has orange-brown eyes that greatly contrast against his dark skin.

Outfit
Shion wears a gray tunic-like cloth with rope tying around the waist of the outfit. On both shoulders of the tunic are two black stripes side-by-side. He is barefoot like the other half-demon children of the island.

Personality
Shion is probably one of the weakest of the children. He has extremely low self-esteem.

History
As a young child, Shion survived the Four War Gods attack on the island and received the Mark of the Four War Gods to prevent him from ever escaping. He was destined to be used as fodder for the War Gods' own purposes until Inuyasha's group saved him and the other half-demon children.

During the film, Shion must overcome his fears and he helps significantly by retrieving Kagome's bow and arrows from somewhere deep in the forest. The fireflies of Horai Island help him do this, and he overcomes his shyness and proves his worth through this heroic act.

At the end of the film, he sets out with the other remaining half-demon children to live in the outside world.
