personality: sesshomaru: Sesshōmaru, born of a great yōkai bloodline, possessed the perfect power that many yōkai desired. Because of this, he was always composed and confident in his power, displaying a calm, calculating personality at almost all times. The only trait he inherited from his father was fondness towards humans, which didn't manifest until later on in his life. His calmness often kept his thoughts clear of emotional influence.
His air of aloofness and indifference was a product of dignity that only one of such rare demonic power could possess. Sesshōmaru was more or less emotionless, with only anger, annoyance, and dissatisfaction showing on his face. Because both his heart and body were so strong, he had no desire whatsoever to own the Sacred Jewel, nor to conspire with allies. Sesshōmaru even responded sarcastically towards Naraku, who had assumed an air of impudence due to his increased demonic power.
In battle, he judged his enemy's power level and attacked with the minimum power necessary. Anyone in his way was considered an enemy he would exterminate without hesitation. He did not hold back his power, even against women. He rationalized that all his prey was the same, and defeated them accordingly. For one with such pride in his power, cooperation was proof of weakness, and being alone was a condition for the strong. Once he judged someone as an obstacle, he was quick to kill without hesitation. Sesshōmaru had a very inquiring mind when there was something he cared about, but at the same time, he had almost no tenacity of purpose. If he became interested in something else, he would arbitrarily turn his back on what he was doing at that time, even during battle. Just like his fighting style, he was quick to make decisions and act on them immediately. Despite this cold, calculated approach to combat, he also displayed a certain level of honor. When Sara Asano stole the Tessaiga from Inuyasha and offered it to him, he refused to accept it, preferring to earn the sword on his own merit without help from anyone.
Sesshōmaru genuinely cared about Rin and Jaken, and while he rarely showed it, he did appreciate their loyalty. Sesshōmaru originally held much contempt towards protecting the weak, seeing it as a ridiculous waste of time. Unlike Tōga and Inuyasha, Sesshōmaru had trouble admitting he had people to protect (Rin and Jaken), and out of pride, would never admit that he did. Sesshōmaru's compassion for Rin was evident, but he preferred to disguise it, because it would taint his pride and reputation. However, he showed his love and concern for Rin when she appeared to be dead due to her time in Hell. Sesshōmaru entered Hell for the purpose of rescuing her, but upon learning that he couldn't save her life, he was crushed. When he realized that it was his urge to strengthen Tenseiga which brought them to Hell and that ultimately killed her, he cast the sword aside, saying that for the sword to gain power at the expense of Rin's life meant nothing. However, when Sesshōmaru's mother revived Rin, he was very relieved. Although he cares for her, he does not pamper her, making her fend for herself when she is hungry, but keeps a close enough distance to come to her aid when need be. Apart from Rin, he's become more caring towards Jaken, whom he used to threaten to kill on a regular basis and treated like a slave if he failed to accomplish a certain task. Afterwards, while he would still strike Jaken whenever he annoyed him and would force Jaken to accompany him even during dangerous situations, he would tell Jaken to stay back when facing an enemy that would endanger Jaken if he was too close. He also has an unnatural calmness; even though many are afraid of him, he is rarely seen getting angry. He has been threatened with death and faced demons without even changing his expression; the only one who truly angered him was Naraku, after he kidnapped Rin. Simplified: On the outside, he just looks like a cold-hearted demon with an expression that rarely changes, but deep down, he’s actually pretty cute. This also sometimes leads to comical scenes: because often, while Jaken gives long monologues trying to boost his own morale and/or Sesshomaru’s, Sesshomaru doesn’t even open his mouth. When he’s screaming and jumping around in fear of an enemy, Sesshomaru is simply expressionless. (He also threatens to kill Jaken very often, but has never followed through).
Relationships: Jaken: ally (he could also be considered a friend, but Sesshomaru would never say that out loud) Rin: adopted daughter (but Sesshomaru would never say that out loud).
rin: Rin was generally allowed to do whatever she wanted, so long as she did not disturb the villagers. She discovered the daiyōkai Sesshōmaru in a forest near her village. She relentlessly and fearlessly tried to help him, even though he would not accept her help. She went through the trouble of finding food in the village preserves or in the forest itself, and brought this food to him. Sesshōmaru never actually ate the food or accepted the help she gave him, but she continued with her actions. She was caught rummaging through one of the village's fish preserves, and some village men beat her and warned her not to do it again. When she later brought food she foraged in the forest, Rin's visible injuries sparked Sesshōmaru's curiosity, and he asked her about them. This brought about a beaming smile on Rin's bruised face. Sesshōmaru scoffed at her, silently wondering what had made her suddenly so happy.
Elsewhere, Sesshōmaru had been rejoined by his traveling companions Jaken and a two-headed dragon. He picks up the scent of blood and discovered Rin's corpse in passing. Her death did not interest him and he had planned to continue on his way, but he recalled the girl's smile from earlier, which made him pause. He unsheathed Tenseiga and it began to pulsate, allowing him to see the messengers from the other world surrounding her corpse. To satisfy his sudden curiosity, he tests his sword Tenseiga and he slew the messengers. Once he had, Sesshōmaru knelt down by her side and was satisfied when she opened her eyes. Feeling his task complete, he stood back up and continued on his way, ignoring the questions from Jaken. Rin followed him, and became a part of his entourage from then on. She regained the ability to talk when she was revived, so she spoke very often to Jaken, the two-headed dragon whom she named A-Un, and to Sesshōmaru as well.
Extremely loyal to Sesshōmaru, Jaken's service to his lord defines his entire persona. Jaken is never surprised by Sesshōmaru's successes, and always acts like everything his master does is exactly according to his expectations. The fact that he often begins to panic on rare occasions Sesshōmaru struggles in battle is sometimes pointed out by Rin as contradicting Jaken's seemingly unwavering confidence in his master, which irritates Jaken and makes him worry that Sesshōmaru will find out and punish him.
Jaken is also extremely cowardly and though he is proud and flattered that Sesshōmaru only chooses to take him into battle as an ally, Jaken cannot dismiss his survival instincts. As he is a very weak demon, much like Myōga, he always looks out for his own self-preservation and often tries to find any excuse to leave the field of battle to let things be settled by Sesshōmaru. Another similarity between himself and the flea demon, Jaken has a surprisingly broad knowledge base, but his propensity to explain things in a condescending manner meant that few took him seriously.[2] Nevertheless, Sesshōmaru often relied on Jaken's resourcefulness and knowledge to help him achieve his goals.
Unlike Myōga, however, Jaken never abandons Sesshōmaru without his permission, no matter how dangerous things get. Even so, because Sesshōmaru usually looks out for Jaken's safety, albeit half-heartedly; Jaken is usually excused when things get dicey, as Sesshōmaru knows that he will be unable to contribute much to the battle. Another contrasting point between himself and his counterpart Myōga, Jaken will often deliberately put himself in danger to protect Rin. This is usually not out of bravery or fondness for Rin, however; Jaken fears what Sesshōmaru might do to him for failing to protect Rin more than he fears the physical harm he might face at the hands of enemies. This can lead him to face much more powerful foes, such as the Shichinintai or Kagura.
Jaken is also quite impulsive, angrily speaking on Sesshōmaru's behalf when he feels his matter has been insulted or on matters he believes Sesshōmaru's pride would never allow him to say himself. He demands absolute respect for Sesshōmaru, and even the slightest perceived disrespect, such as the tone of those addressing Sesshōmaru, quickly gets a rise out of Jaken. However, Sesshōmaru is often annoyed by Jaken's well-meaning defenses of his master's reputation, since when Sesshōmaru is negotiating with enemies or other demons, he does not like Jaken to interfere or speak out of turn. Jaken also has keen insight into Sesshōmaru's personality, and knows his master's mind better than anyone (in fact, it is suggested a number of times in the course of the series that there is a mind conection between Sesshōmaru and Jaken and that they are capable of perceiving the inner thoughts and feelings of each other); though as Sesshōmaru is very enigmatic, even Jaken is often surprised by the things his master does. But Jaken sometimes reads into a situation too well or says things Sesshōmaru finds irritating or embarrassing, prompting Sesshōmaru to wallop Jaken over the head or step on him.
sesshomaru's story: Sesshōmaru is the son of Tōga and another inu daiyōkai. He saw his father as the ultimate opponent, wishing to defeat him in combat and take his two legendary swords. He talked with his father following the battle with Ryūkotsusei, demanding the two swords be handed over to him. However, when questioned if he had anyone to protect, Sesshōmaru told his father that he did not. After his father died to protect Sesshōmaru's new hanyō half-brother, and his human mother, Sesshōmaru began to hate them, considering such an act as pathetic and unworthy for a great yōkai such as Tōga was. Due to his father's will, he was given Tenseiga instead of the other two swords to eventually teach him compassion. He met Kujaku and Seiten that they told him to fight the Four War Gods from his father's last words, but he refused. When Sesshōmaru saw they were killed, he encountered Kyōra until he got caught by the Mark of the Shitōshin. He inherited his fathers title for Lord of the Western Lands even though he doesn’t want it. He wanted to make something of his own and not rely on his father’s legacy. After that, Sesshōmaru began a centuries long nomadic journey in search for power and to battle the most powerful beings alive.
On his journey, Sesshōmaru passes the plains of Musashi Province where Jaken and imp tribe was under attack by a powerful yōkai. After saving them, he was highly admired by Jaken who decided to leave the tribe and follow him. Sesshōmaru first ignores him but eventually accepts Jaken's request to become his servant. He grants Jaken a weapon, Nintōjō which is used as a detector and flamethrower.
Fifty years prior to the beginning of the series and shortly after Inuyasha was sealed to the sacred tree by Kikyō, Sesshōmaru was encountered by Panther Devas of the Panther Demon Tribe (Tōran, Karan, Shunran and Shūran). The Panther King was defeated by Tōga 150 years before Inuyasha was under spell. Sesshōmaru was joined by an army of yōkai that his father saved during the battle, however, they were all slained by Panther Demon Tribe. The battle ended as Tōran fled during a fight with Sesshōmaru.
Search for Tessaiga and meet Sesshōmaru.
Sesshōmaru began his quest for Tessaiga by searching for the place described by a short riddle: "Seen, yet never seen, protected, but never known to its protector." This was the only known clue as to Tessaiga's location. First, he had arrived at his father's stone tomb and even though his imp servant, Jaken said that his Nintōjō says that it's not the right way, then he suggested they go to his younger brother, Inuyasha, to ask where their father's grave was located. Sesshōmaru and Jaken were then next seen riding on a huge oni, attacking a shackled woman, Inuyasha's mother, in a flying carriage. Inuyasha tried to save his mother, but Jaken attacked Inuyasha with the Nintōjō, getting his attention. Sesshōmaru taunted him for being a hanyō, and asked him where their father's grave was, only to be told that Inuyasha didn't know. Sesshōmaru proceeded to tell Inuyasha that if he didn't answer, he would kill the woman in the carriage, Inuyasha's mother. At first, Inuyasha didn't believe that the woman was his mother. However, Sesshōmaru told him that he had resurrected her and gave her a new body, which later, was shown to have been quite possible due to the power of Sesshōmaru's Tenseiga. After hearing from the woman that she was truly his mother brought back from the dead, Inuyasha attempted to attack the yōkai and save her. Sesshōmaru ordered the yōkai to attack them, but before they could get hurt, Inuyasha's mother transported them to a different place. Sesshōmaru was annoyed by Jaken's bothersome plan, and told him that if it should fail, he would kill him.
Jaken went to where Inuyasha was located, where it was revealed that the woman was not Inuyasha's mother, but a yōkai called the Mu-on'na. The Unmother was a spirit of women who had their children killed by war. To lure Inuyasha into revealing the secret to the whereabouts of Tessaiga, Sesshōmaru then appeared and gloated that he knew where their father's tomb was. He grabbed Inuyasha and pulled a black pearl from Inuyasha's eye. He then used the Nintōjō Jaken carried to open a portal from the black pearl. He and the others jumped in, traveling to the world between the living and the netherworld.
Sesshōmaru entered the skeleton of his late father, and attempted to pull out Tessaiga, but was unable to do so due to a spell on the sword which prevented full yōkai from touching it. Inuyasha arrived, and tried (but failed) to pull it out. Sesshōmaru then attacked Inuyasha. Kagome, who was knocked back by Jaken, with the sword in her hand, pulled it out by accident. Sesshōmaru, enraged by the fact that a lowly human could pull out Tessaiga, demanded Kagome to submit the sword to him. However, Kagome refused, and threatened that she would cut him with the sword. Inuyasha warned Sesshōmaru to stay away from Kagome for good. Sesshōmaru, who hated humans and hanyō alike, then sprayed toxic sludge upon Kagome, covering her. He also remarked to Inuyasha that his love for humans was what made him weak, just like his mother. Inuyasha was furious, and attacked Sesshōmaru not only because of what he did to Kagome, but also because he insulted the memory of Inuyasha's human mother by claiming she had "dirty blood." Kagome then rose out of the sludge, unharmed because Tessaiga had protected her. She gave the sword to Inuyasha, and Sesshōmaru tested him and the sword by transforming into his yōkai form, a giant silver dog with all his distinguished markings.
Tessaiga and Tenseiga Sesshōmaru, dissatisfied with his present demon sword, Tenseiga, wished to have the old, absent-minded swordsmith make him a new one. The unwilling Tōtōsai had Inuyasha defend him, causing the brothers to fight. Tōtōsai revealed the heritage of Sesshōmaru's sword before creating a diversion to allow Inuyasha and the rest of his companions to escape. Soon after leaving Inuyasha and his companions, Tōtōsai was attacked by Sesshōmaru. Once again, Inuyasha battled his brother as Tōtōsai's protector, but had to face Sesshōmaru's newest defense, a dragon's arm. As Inuyasha and Sesshōmaru continued to duel for possession of Tessaiga, both brothers discovered the unexpected power of their respective inheritances, as Inuyasha discovered the true power of his sword, and Sesshōmaru, who called his sword useless, was saved by his father's heirloom.
After the fight, an orphaned human child, Rin, attempted to nurse the injured Sesshōmaru back to health. Though he initially tried to scare her off, she returned to him, heartened at the smallest show of interest. She was mauled to death by some of Kōga's wolves while trying to return to him; Sesshōmaru was initially going to ignore her, but moved by curiosity and prompted by Tenseiga's pulsing, he tested the blade on her, cutting down the minions of hell that had come to collect her soul and restoring her to life. He walked off, and Rin followed him, becoming his traveling companion. He was also delighted to learn Tenseiga has its uses and wasn't just a useless sword that couldn't kill.
Naraku's Plan Kagura kidnapped Sesshomaru's young mortal companion Rin. As Jaken and Sesshōmaru discussed their options, one of Naraku's demon puppets appeared before them. It threatened Sesshōmaru with her life unless he agreed to kill Inuyasha. Instead, Sesshōmaru tracked Naraku to his castle. Upon arriving, Naraku revealed his true demon form, a collection of rejected yōkai, and attacked Sesshōmaru. Naraku was secretly planning to absorb Sesshōmaru into his own flesh as Sesshōmaru hacked away at his body parts and surrounded himself with Naraku's fallen flesh.
At the same time, Inuyasha had also tracked down Naraku's castle. He broke through Naraku's barrier with his newly minted Red Tessaiga. Meanwhile, Kagome and the others pursued the lone Jewel shard Kagome sensed, which was Kohaku, who had been charged with guarding Rin. Naraku was forced to fight both Sesshōmaru and Inuyasha at the same time. When Naraku became seriously injured, he escaped in a miasma cloud. Sesshōmaru suddenly realized why Naraku had abducted Rin - as a method of distracting him in case of needing to escape. Naraku telepathically ordered Kohaku to murder Rin.
Sesshōmaru and Inuyasha arrived just in time to stop Kohaku. When Sesshōmaru peered into Kohaku's eyes, he realized he was an empty husk and was being commanded to perform his actions. He released Kohaku to Inuyasha and his group and escaped with Rin.
Kagura, one of reluctant Naraku's incarnations, later betrayed Naraku to obtain her freedom. She believed that only Sesshōmaru could defeat him; she also seemed to have romantic feelings for him, just like Sara had. After trying to attack Goryōmaru's temple and getting injured, she fell into a river near Sesshōmaru's group. Recovering, she explained that Naraku was using an orb known as the Fuyōheki to hide his heart, and gave Sesshōmaru crystal shards of yōki to help him find Naraku's heart. Sesshōmaru entrusted Jaken to look after the crystals.
During a battle with Mōryōmaru, Sesshōmaru caught the scent of Kagura's blood and Naraku's miasma. Mōryōmaru insulted her, infuriating Sesshōmaru, who quickly concluded the quarrel, breaking Tōkijin in the process. He left the sword behind, choosing to obtain a new one instead of reforging Tōkijin.
Just as Kagura thought she would die alone in the field of flowers, Sesshōmaru appeared before her, much to the wind sorceress's surprise. Sesshōmaru told Kagura that he picked up the scent of blood and miasma. Kagura replied, "I see, you thought I was Naraku. Are you disappointed that I'm not Naraku?" Sesshōmaru replied to her by saying "I knew it was you." He reached for Tenseiga, but then realized that she couldn't be saved. Kagura was happy she got to see Sesshōmaru one last time. She looked up at him and smiled as she died before him, dissolving into the wind. When Inuyasha came right after Kagura died, he asks Sesshōmaru if she suffered. Sesshōmaru simply looked toward the sky and said "She was smiling", and then walked away.
In an effort to strengthen and enhance Tenseiga's powers even further, Sesshōmaru visited his mother in search of a way to make a complete Meidō. He ventured into Hell after a yōkai from the underworld grabbed Rin and Kohaku; the latter was still alive, due to the Shikon Jewel shard in his back, but Rin did not regain consciousness. Sesshōmaru felt regret, believing he should never have brought her along and should had left her in a human village; he felt frustration and blamed himself for her death. Sesshōmaru's mother offered him a way out of the underworld, which he declined, offending her. Sesshōmaru found Rin in the grasp of the Guardian of the Underworld. After he slayed the yōkai, he realized Rin wasn't reviving, and stated that enhancing and strengthening his sword was not worth the price of Rin's life. Dead bodies in Hell surrounded them, and with his grief for Rin, he used Tenseiga to purify them. When he returned to the living world with Rin's body, his mother scolded him for thinking he was a god who could control life and death, and told him Tenseiga can only revive the same person once, and that when his heart wished to save his "loved one", he must also at that moment feel both sadness and fear, this being what it means for him to have "a compassionate heart".
Sesshōmaru could only learn to understand the worth of a life and gain a truly compassionate heart when the life that was worth the most to him was lost, and "a compassionate heart" was what was necessary for the one who wields a destructive Tenseiga, which could dispatch enemies to the Netherworld.
His mother told him not to expect her to do this twice, placing the Meidō Stone around Rin's neck. Much to his relief and happiness, Rin was revived once more. His mother asked Jaken if Sesshōmaru was happy when she revived Rin, and Jaken responded that he was "very happy."

aparance: Jaken: is a very small green-skinned demon. He has a big mouth for one so small, and large yellow eyes with slit pupils that take up almost half his face. His mouth is similar to a bird's beak, and his ears are traditionally pointy. He wears a simple brown robe with yellow sode-kukuri laced on the cuffs and open shoulders, a white hadagi undershirt, and light brown baggy pants. He wears no shoes, and has a small black hat tied upon his head with a white strap going under his chin.
Rin: is a typical young peasant girl with fair skin, bright brown eyes, and long black hair with short bangs. She has the right side of her hair tied up into a small ponytail jutting out in front of her face by a light gray and then orange hair tie. After several years, she has grown taller and she no longer ties her hair anymore.
sesshomaru: Humanoid form: Sesshōmaru appears as a handsome, lean-looking, tall and slender young man. He has fair skin with pointed ears, slanted gold eyes with slit pupils, and knee-length silver hair with short bangs. He has a violet crescent moon on his forehead that could be seen beneath his bangs, two magenta stripes on each cheek, and a magenta stripe on each eyelid. When he used his Dokkasō, three magenta stripes appeared on his wrists. Like Inuyasha, his canines are fangs (although they usually weren't visible unless he transformed) and his fingers are tipped with claws, although unlike Inuyasha his could secrete a corrosive poison. For most of the series, Sesshōmaru had only one arm, due to his fight with his brother. Towards the end, he regained his left arm after getting his new sword.
Yōkai form: Sesshōmaru's true form is a giant silver dog with markings similar to the ones he had in his human form. His eyes become red with teal irises, the yōkai marks on his body widened and becomes more apparent, the stripes on his cheeks which are usually smooth became jagged and changed into a somewhat fiercer color, and his mokomoko wrapped around his body and extended into his tail.
--
powers and abilities (sesshomaru): Immense demonic power(far powerful than a avarage yoki,likely the strongest yoki in the series). Enhanced Senses, Energy Projection, Demonic aura, Flight, Afterimage, Transformation. Longevity: As a daiyōkai, Sesshōmaru has supernatural longevity. He appears to be physically around 20 years old despite being chronologically over 900 years old.) Regeneration (via supernatural willpower). skills: Master Swordsman (fight using swords).
section spiritual: via Tenseiga: Resurrection: The Tenseiga could restore the life of the recently deceased by destroying the pall-bearers who took the souls of the dead. However, it required a relatively-intact body to work and only worked once as not to grant eternal life. If done to a dismembered body part, it will restore the body part to how it was when alive, but it will die again shortly afterwards. This was shown when it was used to revived Goshinki's head to restore his fangs. Spiritual Combat: Although the Tenseiga could not harm what belonged to the Living World, its healing powers allowed it to slay the un-dead and spirits such Magatsuhi, the evil will of the Shikon Jewel.
section physical and spatial: Via tokijin: Energy Attacks: It can fire off extremely powerful blasts of pure evil energy, but because it is filled with Goshinki's malice, only someone with a very powerful demonic presence can wield it without being controlled by it. The energy blasts created by Tōkijin takes on multiple forms due to Sesshōmaru developing it further on his quest for power.
statiscs: category: balanced/agile type: Feats: on the minimium comparable to inuaysha (Able to harm Inuyasha Vaporized the top of a plateaus while handling the Tessaiga,managed to subjugate Tokijin and match Inuyasha wielding Tessaiga with it. During the sword fight with Inuyasha, he knocked the sword out of his hand).
strentgh: Destroys diamond spears with his Kenatsu. Splits a boulder with his claws.
speed: move speed/agility & reaction speed: Moves to Inuyasha almost instantly (and surprise he) dodges Inuyasha. Jumps over a large Meido Zangetsuha. Dodges Inuyasha's Youkai form. combat speed: comprable to inuyasha (can hit he, temprally overhelm inuyasha and surprise he).

Intelligence: High. He is very knowledgeable of the Feudal Era and demons, is a highly skilled and dangerous combatant, is a capable schemer and can be highly cunning in combat. Due to his long years of pursuing power, Sesshōmaru is very intelligent and experienced in the feudal era. Sesshōmaru is able to come to the correct conclusion towards any given mystery in his quest for power once he attains the basic understanding of the situatio

Rin was lying on A-un, resting and carrying Sesshomaru’s swords. Jaken walks beside his master. “It’s a beautiful day today, don’t you think, my incredible lord—” said Jaken Sesshomaru says nothing, continuing to gaze at the forest with an unreadable expression
