Moroha

Moroha's History

Moroha was born as the quarter-yōkai daughter of Inuyasha, a hanyō, and Kagome, a human, four years after Kagome's return from the modern era and her marriage to Inuyasha. During her pregnancy with Moroha, Kagome learned from Riku that Zero intended to kill her unborn child and newborn half-nieces because of Tōga's prophecy of the Shikon Jewel (since it had been disappeared 7 years prior after the battle with Naraku) which stated that a being that is neither human nor yōkai would ultimately bring about the predestined demise of her late paternal grandfather's rival- Lord Kirinmaru of the Dawn in the Eastern Lands.

Shortly after Moroha was born, Inuyasha and Kagome had Hachiemon take her away to safety in order to protect her from Sesshōmaru and Kirinmaru. Before leaving, Kagome gives Moroha the Beni as a parting gift. Afterwards, Sesshōmaru stole the second Black Pearl from Inuyasha's right eye and sealed Inuyasha and Kagome at the Border of the Afterlife. As a result, Moroha ended up in the care of the Wolf Demon Tribe and grew up knowing very little about her parents.

Moroha was mentored by Yawaragi, who eventually sold her to the corpse dealer Jyūbei. As part of their deal, Moroha gained possession of Yawargi's sword, the Kurikaramaru. Moroha was employed by Jyūbei as a demon bounty hunter until Yawargi's debt was paid off. She gains the nicknames Beniyasha (朱べニ夜や叉しゃ, "Crimson Demon"), and Bake-goroshi no Moroha (化け殺ごろしのもろは, "Moroha the Demon Killer").
