Kirara

**Kirara** (雲母, きらら, "Mica") was Sango's faithful nekomatacompanion and main method of transportation and currently Kohaku's traveling partner and companion.

## Personality

Since Kirara was a cat demon, she acted similar to regular cats: eating cat food, treats, fish, and playing with cat toys, as well as having cat-like weaknesses. Kirara was shown to be very intelligent as well as sentient. She was fiercely loyal to Sango, but with time, she showed loyalty to all members of the group.

Kirara demonstrated exceptional patience, often honoring the requests of the group and their various friends. For example, she allowed Inuyasha to practice the potentially lethal Kaze no Kizu attack on her, leaving bald spots on her fur. In addition, she helped Miroku impress village women and ward off the undesired advances of the older village women. Kagome admitted to playing dress up with her, and using her to return to the Modern Era without the knowledge of the rest of the group.[1]

## Physical description

Kirara usually appeared to be an adorable adult-sized feline (shown in the anime to be the same size as Kagome's cat, Buyo), but with the body proportions of a kitten. She has red eyes, a diamond-shaped marking on her forehead, and two fluffy tails. However, she had two forms: one of a cat, and a larger one resembling a saber-toothed cat. In her full-sized demon form, flames emerged from her feet and tails, and her power increased considerably, allowing her to battle even the strongest of demon opponents.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Transformation:** Kirara had the ability to transform from a small kitten to a larger cat resembling a saber-toothed cat. When switching forms she was engulfed in flames, which, after disappearing, revealed the other form.
* **Pyrokinesis:** Kirara can generate flame on her flanks and limbs after transformation. The unearthly fire doesn't quench underwater.
* **Flight:** When transformed, Kirara had the ability to fly. She was capable of carrying three grown adults at once, but it tired her out quickly.

* **Fire Immunity:** Fire and heat seem to do nothing harm to Kirara. She can act safe and sound when Renkotsu shelled and burned the valley.
* Kirara is an awesome pokemon. When Kirara is in Kirara, true form, than he/she can have the health of 9999 and the power of fire bite that does 999!

YOU SHOULD USE KIRARA!

* **Prowess in Battle:** Kirara is very powerful and experienced even in terms of demons. She lived through the situation to a degree that her former companion, Midoriko, probably the mightiest priestess, had to sacrifice herself (Although her survival might very well rely on the latter's sacrifice). She is the only survivor after the battle of demon slayer village, which ended up killing all the residents and invading demons.

* **Enhanced Strength:** When transformed, Kirara was very strong, several times managing to overpower many other foes, including larger demons.
* **Enhanced Speed:** When transformed, Kirara's speed increased considerably. She was able to keep up with Entei and even with Inuyasha at top speed.
* **Enhanced Durability:** When transformed, Kirara was very durable, managing to endure a practiced Kaze no Kizu from Inuyasha while he was practicing on her of her own free will, emerging fairly unscathed with only a part of her fur shaved off.
* **Enhanced Endurance:** When transformed, Kirara could fight continuous battles against many foes for a considerable amount of time before tiring out, which in turn forced her to transform back into her small kitten form.

## TMNT X Pokemon

Kirara is protective of her friends and will defend them. She has taken an interest in Donnie. It is unknown why but it may be due to him having the Fox DNA.

## Trivia

* When Kirara entered water, the fire on her tail and legs did not go out.
* In the anime, it was shown that Kirara had been in Sango and Kohaku's family for at least three generations, as she was seen accompanying their grandfather and father.
* In the anime, it seems Kirara was also the partner of Midoriko.
* Kirara apparently had very impressive eyesight or senses. In Episode 136, when Sango was invisible, Kirara was able to precisely jump onto Sango's shoulder and put the balls into her hands.
* Her seiyū also voiced Sugar from Rumiko Takahashi's series *Urusei Yatsura*.
