Shippo:
Shippo is a very loving and caring creature, and even though he's a bit of a scardy cat, if his friends are in trouble he will do whatever he can to help them. Shippo's a very young demon, somewhere around the age of seven or so, and unlike Inuyasha, he is a full demon, through-and-through, but his powers are very limited, and being a fox demon, only deal with tricks and illusions.
He met up with Inuyasha and Kagome when he was trying to steal their jewel shards. He wished to use the shard's powers to avenge his father who was skinned alive by the Thunder Brothers. After Inuyasha and Kagome destroyed the evil Thunder Brothers, who had possessed six shards of the Shikon no Tama, Shippo decided to stay with them because he liked Kagome so much. The relationship between Shippo and Kagome is similar to a sibling relationship, but in a way to Shippo since he lost his parents so early on, he kinda considers Kagome as a mother figure. Though his role in the group in fighting wise is not very great. He plays a very big role in the heart of the group. The group watches over Shippo in every way. They protect him like they do one another. Because he is still a kid he has his strange out burst of sentence that are very clueless and get him into trouble quite a lot with Inuyasha. Though Inuyasha has the upper hand in strength, Shippo has a weapon of his very own, and he uses it more than once on Inuyasha. Also, later on when they gang up with Sango, Shippo becomes very fond of Kiara, because of the �strange' connection between Kagome and Inuyasha. Shippo gets very jealous of Inuyasha because he gets more attention from Kagome then Shippo, does himself. Even though Inuyasha doesn't know it. Inuyasha and him are more like brothers. They fight all the time, but when in trouble Inuyasha is always ready to protect Shippo. |
