Towa Higurashi

Towa Higurashi's History

Towa and Setsuna were born in Kaede's village to Rin and were taken away by Sesshōmaru shortly after birth. Sesshōmaru left them at the Sacred Tree in the forest to protect them from Zero, who would target them due to a prophecy of their grandfather as being half-demons, they were said to be capable of killing the Lord of the Eastern Lands, Kirinmaru, (since the Shikon Jewel had been disappeared granted a wish by her half-aunt Kagome Higurashi seven years prior after the battle with Naraku) with Jaken placing a barrier around the woods to keep them safe. Towa and Setsuna lived together in the woods until they were four years old when a forest fire broke out due to Homura burning the forest at Zero's order, with her father unable to intervene less Zero kill them herself, and Towa was sucked into a time portal to the modern era of Heisei.

When she awoke, Towa was approached by a man named Sōta Higurashi, who adopted her. Following Mei's birth, Sōta and Towa made a promise that she wouldn't show her powers in front of anyone. In elementary school, Towa got picked on when the other children claimed that Setsuna didn't exist which hurt Towa's feelings. On her 6th (allocated) birthday, Towa accidently blew the frosting off the top of the cake which made her foster family laugh. Despite laughing as well, Towa felt lonely as Setsuna wasn't there to celebrate with her.

Towa grew up having to deal with bullies constantly annoying her. She also became good at sports thanks to her hanyō physiology; winning many trophies. Some underclassmen from Shōyō Middle School found her as a cool, lone wolf type.
