Personality

Kagome's heart is pure and kind, always rich and sometimes uncontrollable. Because of her empathetic nature, she never hesitates to help those in need of it, treating all with warmth and respect. Even if she doesn't say a word, her feelings are easy to read due to her honest expressions, which cause those around her to soften in tough situations and be honest as well. Even with this, she wasn't without her flawed, quirky, and immature side, which is typical of her age. Kagome was never afraid to voice her mind about what is "right" and what is "wrong," making her somewhat opinionated and stubborn. Still, Kagome is unforgiving of anyone who opposes her sense of justice until they stop, even when there was a large difference in power. Although she was just a modern girl for most of her life, Kagome was strangely unfazed by the horrors, violence, and death in the Warring States era because of her strong spirit. Her reckless courage is known to "always be in full force", being impulsive and jumping into potentially dangerous situations without the wait for help. Though she is usually calm and compassionate, Kagome has a surprising hidden violent side to her when her short temper is brought into play. When she is involved in battles, Kagome uses her knowledge to the fullest and analyzes the situation to the best of her ability. Even when backed into a corner, she figures out solutions and dares to execute it, often producing unexpected good results.

Although she didn't know much about the Warring States era at first and people kept calling her Kikyō's reincarnation because of their striking resemblance in appearance and power, Kagome felt no fear and often handled the pain it brings on her in the best way she can. She stayed strong and took pride in her current life. Kagome is clumsy in love and shows to almost never able to hide her feelings, even when she wasn't fully conscious of it. Her curious school friends always coerced her into reporting her love life and could guess what was going on from her facial expressions.

Physical description

Kagome is a beautiful and slender young woman. She has somewhat pale skin, brown eyes, and long, wavy black hair with bangs. Because of her beauty and attractiveness, Kagome was one of the main targets for Miroku's comical lecherous tendencies, although over time he focused more on Sango. Kagome usually is always seen wearing her green and white middle school uniform, also known as sailor fuku, with a red ribbon tied in the front and laced through a loop attached to the blouse, white loose socks, and brown penny loafers. . . .

1996-1997, Tokyo, Japan

. . .

In 1996, when Kagome was fourteen years old, for her early 15th birthday, she was given of the mummified kappa hand by her grandpa, but looked uncomfortable. On her 15th birthday, when Kagome was about to set off for school, she learned that her cat, Buyo, had entered the shed containing the Bone-Eater's Well. At the request of her brother Sōta, she found him, only to be pulled into the well by Mistress Centipede, whose bones had been resurrected by the presence of the Shikon no Tama within Kagome's body. Kagome resisted the demon and escaped her grasp. But when she climbed out of the well, she found herself in the middle of a forested meadow, as she didn't know that she went back in time to about 1550-1560.

Feudal era, Japan

. . .

”Where am I?!” Kagome wondered. “Alright let’s recap.. Buyo, Sōta. Then some centipede like creature came and grabbed her after the well in the shrine burst open! And then she shoved it away, and pink light came from her hand?! She kept talking about some.. sacred jewel? And then she appeared here. When she climbed out of the well.. she wasn’t in the shrine. It was the woods. What?”

”I could be wrong, but, Toto, I think we're not in Tokyo anymore..”

“Grandpa? Mom? Are you there? Sota! Buyo!”

She walked around the unfamiliar place, searching for any familiarities, or a way home, or something to prove this isn’t real and just a dream..
