Shippo
Who Is He?
Let me make this clear - Shippo is a boy (I can't explain the bow in his hair - sorry!)
He is a young orphan fox demon that InuYasha and Kagome confront early on in the series. His father was killed by the
Thunder Brothers, Hiten and Manten, and he wanted to defeat them by the use of the sacred jewel. At first, he was after Kagome's
jewel shards, but now, he is a true blue friend. You'll need a mighty strong crow bar to pry him away from Kagome.
Appearance:
Shippo is adorable! He is knee high to a grasshopper. His hair is sienna colored. He has a tail, pointy
ears, and big, bright, green eyes. His outfit consists of a shirt with a leaf pattern, a vest, and pants. He also has a teal
bow in his hair.
Personality:
Shippo has a good heart. He's very loyal and acts every inch the grown up demon, even surpassing InuYasha
in some aspects. His attachment to Kagome is very fierce, so don't try getting between the two. His spirit is an innocent
one, but his devilish side pops out every once in a while. He likes to play tricks on InuYasha and tease him as well.
Weapons:
Since Shippo is a fox demon, he specializes in tricks and other cunning devices. His specialty
is his ability to transform into a big pink balloon thingy. His magic leaves also hold curious powers. He has an endless supply
of toys stashed away in his vest; they have made an appearance as weapons. He also harbors Foxfire, a protective illusion
spell that looks like blue flames.
WARNING!
Shippo tends to get carried away in his own ideas. When he sees something happening that he feels
he could have prevented, he likes to blame and beat himself up. Sometimes, Shippo's teasing can go too far and he gets beat
up by InuYasha, but then Kagome comes to the rescue and saves the day for him.

Quote: "Just apologize, even if you don't mean it."
Shippou is a cute, little fox demon. He tried to steal the jewel shards away from Inuyasha and Kagome, so he could
get stronger and kill the thunder brothers to avenge his father. They killed his father for his jewel shard and fur.
After Kagome got kidnapped, he and Inuyasha went to save her. During Inuyasha's fight with Hiten, his father's foxfire
spirit saved him and Kagome from Hiten's lighting attack. He then joined the group because he has nowhere else to go.
He is very close to Kagome and doesn't get along with Inuyasha. He doesn't do much, and just there to be cute and to
annoy Inuyasha.
