BIOGRAPHY

General:
Name: Moriko | 森子 | "Forest Child"
Gender: Female
Birthday: October 10, 1560 (modern equiv. 2010)

Parents: Inuyasha and Kagome
Siblings: Shippo(adopted), Michi, Izayoi, Kikyo, Yukio, Kiotsu

Current Stats:
Age: Infant
Height and weight vary.

Personality:
(Note: this applies more to when she's older.) Moriko is perhaps the girliest of her sisters and is the kind of girl that you might expect to see skipping through a field of flowers. Like many stereotypical young girls, she likes flowers, ponies, sparkles, and rainbows and likes to be a little princess. She spent a lot of time weaving flower crowns after Kagome taught her how, sometimes trying to convince her older siblings to wear them (much to her brothers' dismay).

Moriko loves playing dress-up. She has a sharp sense for fashion and color and likes to mix-and-match pretty much everything. She enjoys drawing with her sister, Kikyo, though Moriko's art tends to take a very different form. Her favorite colors are pastels, especially blue, green, and yellow.

Though she enjoys dressing up and looking pretty, Moriko's not afraid to get down-and-dirty when it comes to certain activities, such as horseback riding. She was attracted to the village horses from a very young age and started learning to ride when she was five years old. She's also very intrigued by the legendary creature, the kirin , and it is her childhood dream to be able to meet and ride one.

Moriko ties with Yukio for looking the most hanyou-like out of the siblings and therefore can get a rough time from others. Teasing frustrates her, naturally, but she's learned that she can usually run to her eldest brother, Michi, for help with the bullies and he'll generally take care of it, if only through comforting her. She grew to have a very close relationship with her brother, despite the 9-year age gap, and she learned a lot from him, growing more self-confident and facing the bullies with a calmer conscience as she got older, recognizing the insults as trivial and not worth her anger.

True to her name, Moriko loves to be out in the forest and in nature. Perhaps one of her favorite sights of all time is a rare-but-beautiful full-arching rainbow (extra points if it's a double rainbow). She likes to look at all the plants and animals, and even some of the less-frightening youkai so long as they're not harmful.

If there's one typical girly issue that Moriko is not, it's a full-fledged drama queen; no, that title was taken years before by her sister, Izayoi. Though Moriko does occasionally start a bout of drama, she's not as notorious for it as Izzy was. She is, however, rather secretive in some of her (often trivial) reasonings for being upset, which makes it difficult to solve a problem with her.

As the youngest of six, Moriko sometimes feels a bit overshadowed by her siblings, feeling that she doesn't get the attention that she should for doing things because it always seems that at least one of her older siblings has already done it (though said siblings might find that feeling to be rather ironic, because they tend to feel that Moriko, as the baby of the family, gets all the attention, and sometimes claim that their parents always "favor" her because she's younger. This, of course, is not true.) This sometimes leads to a bit of a thirst to prove herself and causes her to get into slightly more reckless situations than she otherwise would.

Wardrobe:
Default: Simple blue outfit tied with a dark sash. Alternatively, a long-sleeve version with pants.
Pajamas: Pale pink footies or white footies with colorful pastel dots.
Modern: Simple blue t-shirt with a yellow flower and dark blue stretchy-pants.

Stuff She Owns::
N/A

Adult
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 107 lbs
Occupation: Messenger and caretaker of horses

When she grew older, Moriko put her love of ponies to practice, learning eagerly how to ride the village horses as soon as she was old enough. Practicing often, she got quite good at it, and in the process, learned to care for the horses, as well. Before long she became their main caretaker, making sure that those that weren't privately owned by a specific village-person were fed and groomed and teaching younger children to ride. She sometimes acted as the village messenger, taking some of the horses out to distribute messages to other villages when necessary.

Her "riding outfit" consists of the shirt she wears under her kimono, navy pants tied around the ankle, and a light blue obi that ties to the side.

Later in life, Moriko does fulfill her dream of meeting and even riding a kirin. This part of her life is still under construction.

Other:
-Moriko does NOT have fangs or claws.
-She also does NOT have any demonic powers.
-Her hair is gray, not white. However, her ears are white.
-She's the only one of her dog-earred siblings whose ears are a different color than her head hair.
-The tip of her right ear is often portrayed as slightly bent; however, this is just a side effect of her young age. It straightens out by the time she's about two.
