Shippou :

A kitsune youkai [fox demon], Shippou is very young, and so does not have the power of some other youkai. His father, who was killed for his pelt by Hiten and Manten, was the last person that Shippou had as family. Thus, he tags along with the Yasha gang after Kagome and Inuyasha avenged his father's death. He really likes Kagome (perhaps as a mother figure). Though he and Inuyasha do not get along at all, Shippou wants Kagome to be happy, and tries to encourage Inuyasha's feelings for Kagome.

Personality:

Also hot-tempered, but with the innocent mind of a child, Shippou likes to help out whenever possible (since his fighting abilities aren't too much help, being that he's so young). He's very observant of other people's feelings, even if, like a kid, he blurts things out a bit too much.

Skills:

He can become a floating pink balloon, leave a trail of Naki Kinoko [Weeping Mushrooms] in case someone needs to follow him, and change his appearance (the transformations aren't always complete). His attacks include magical illusions: Tsubushi Goma [Smashing Top], Bunshin [Divide], and Kitsune Bi [Fox Fire]. Some of his "ingredients" include: ofuda [charm], ojizousan no moto [???], ganguma [toy horse], ganguhebi [toy snake], goma [top], happa [leaf], kinoko [mushrooms], and dosogeri [acorns].
