Who is Kikyou?
A shrine maiden who loved InuYasha throughout the series and was killed by Naraku (disguised as Inuyasha) who tore the two apart fifty years prior (in InuYasha's time) to the story's start. She is brought back to life by the ogress Urasue. Although she acts alive, her body is still "dead," and she must ingest the souls of the dead to move. Her body is made of bones and graveyard soil with most of her soul in her reincarnation. Still under the impression that Inuyasha had betrayed her, she tries to kill him.
