About me: Kagome Higurashi is the female protagonist of the anime/manga series Inuyasha. She is a third year middle school student from Tokyo born into a family of shrine-keepers. She is bold and determined to help others regardless of the cost. It is because of her that Inuyasha is able to make more friends. Her kind heart results in Inuyasha falling in love with her. She is the reincarnation of a priestess, named Kikyo, the previous protector of the Shikon Jewel who died 50 years before the main story. As fate would have it, Kagome also develops feelings of strong love for Inuyasha. This relationship proves to be a driving point of the series.
Kagome has long black hair that falls past her shoulders—in the manga, it started out as rather wavy but progressed to a far straighter and spikier look at the end, while it has always been straight in the anime. The manga and anime also present variations on her eyes: like Kikyō, she has brown eyes in the anime, but they are blue or grey in the manga. She and Kikyo also share a far greater resemblance in the manga than they do the anime.
Kagome is usually seen wearing her school uniform: a sailor suit consisting of a white shirt with green and white cuffs (the spring version has short sleeves), a red kerchief, a green skirt, and brown penny loafers with white socks. On other occasions, Kagome is seen wearing other outfits that are a combination of different sweaters and skirts. She's also been seen wearing the same outfit that Kikyō and Kaede wear, the traditional miko outfit. When she first wore this outfit, Inuyasha told Kagome to undress (or in other words "change into something else") because she looked like Kikyō. By the end of the series, this has become her everyday dress.
In Yashahime, Kagome hasn't aged from her early 20s due to being trapped at the Borderland between life and death for 14 years; there's no time in that dimension.
