Kikyou is my favorite female character in the show. Sesshoumaru is my favorite male character. But if I have to choose between the two, it would be Kikyou. Very rarely that my favorite #1 character in a show is a female. It has always been good-looking males (hehe...I'm so shallow). Trunks in DBZ, Kurama in YYH, Touya and Yue in Cardcaptor Sakura, Seto Kaiba in Yu-Gi-Oh... you get the picture. But there's just something about Kikyou that really attracted me to her and that I dare to pick her over Sesshoumaru as my #1 favorite.

My very first episode of Inuyasha was the one where Kikyou's ashes were stolen. When Kagome was thinking that Inuyasha must had loved Kikyou and that she didn't love him back and just pinned him to a tree, that just got me thinking about what really happened between them. I was hooked on the show because of that one episode, mainly because I was interested in Kikyou and Inuyasha's relationship. The next episode, where Kikyou returns, is the best episode ever. When she was brought back to life and saw Inuyasha. She screamed out his name and "why did you betrayed me?" You can see all her furies, hurts, and betrayal at that moment. I was just so touched by her pain and suffering. And the way Inuyasha looked at her with all those pains in his eyes was just so sad and yet very romantic at the same time. During the flashback, you get the see her harsh and lonely life. I just can't help but feel sorry for her. You can see the loneliness and sadness in her eyes. The way she smiles at Inuyasha was just so sweet. And the part where Inuyasha followed her around and watching her from afar was the most romantic thing that I have ever seen. At the end of the episode, you can see Inuyasha on the ground in emotional pain and screaming confusion of what had gone wrong. Don't you just love broken romance and betrayal that ended in death? I sure do.

I also love her character design. I like the way her eyes are drawn. It's full of sadness and yet very beautiful. She might not show much emotion on her face, but you can see it all in her eyes. The pain, the anguish, the loneliness, everything. Her eyes are probably the best feature about her. She also looks so pretty with her straight flowing hair and classic clothing. The way she walks, her head is always held high. It shows her confidence and power. I also like the complexity of her personality. She's cold and unemotional one minute and all nice and sweet when she's around children. She's smart and her intentions are not always clear, which in turn gives a sense of mystery about her. I just love the scene of the first ending song where she walks into the water. There's just something about that scene that got me to like her so much. The way she walks into the water, it's almost look like a suicide. The sadness in her eyes. The way her foot stepped back in the water. It was all great.
