Jinenji

Jinenji is a Hanyō who is different from the rest as he does not like fighting.

## Appearance

Jinenji is a humanoid of hulking size and well-muscled stature (standing over ten feet tall).

He has tanned skin that looks orange and is covered with scars from the harassment and persecution he's suffered, wears a sleeveless gray and blue robe stitched together to fit him, and has a face vaguely horse-like with large blue eyes as well as black hair pulled back in a small ponytail.

## Personality

A kind-hearted and hard working Hanyō, Jinenji has a close relationship with his mother who protected him from the villagers who lived near their home.

He appears to respect and appreciate his father for leaving him and his mother their herb farm, and he is unwilling to leave it despite the persecution he suffers.

He develops a strong attachment to and affection for Kagome who was the first person besides his parents to treat him with any kindness despite his intimidating size and hanyō status.

He also respects and understands Inuyasha who encouraged him to use his enhanced strength to defend his mother and himself for the first time.

Jinenji then became more confident and happy, now having become a man in full.

Jinenji's kind heart shows he is not one to hold a grudge even if it's justifiable as was seen when he offered medicinal herbs to the injured men who had persecuted him and his mother.

His forgiving nature, along with saving their lives, earned him their silent gratitude and even their compassion to make things right by helping Jinenji and his mother repair the damages to their home.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Expert Healer:** Jinenji has considerable skills as a healer since he's spent all of his life tending to an herbal farm that he inherited from his father. He was able to easily and quickly make a medicine for Kirara's poisoning in just a few minutes after being told by Inuyasha and Kagome. He recognizes what herbs are used for healing humans and demons as he hands a score of herbs used to treat superficial wounds to a group of human men after a battle with an insect demon. Later on, after Kagome moved to the feudal era and trained to become a priestess, Jinenji is seen instructing her on herbal healing and remedies.
* **Hand-to-Hand Combatant:** Due to Jinenji's benevolent and docile nature, he never honed any skills in combat in spite of the treatment and death threats he received from the human villagers on a daily basis. However, it's proven that when the situation calls for it, he can more than hold his own as he was able to fight and kill a large insect demon using wrestling maneuvers like a direct punch or a choke lock. He was also able to defend himself inside a yōkai-infested mountain ravine to retrieve Sennensō berries, which he states would not be survivable for regular humans.
* **High Demonic Power:** Jinenji has a high amount of demonic power despite being a hanyō as when he gets emotional, his eyes glow and his body radiates with blue energy. He was able to kill a large insect demon once he focuses his powers into its body, causing it to explode, while receiving little damage to himself.
* **Superhuman Strength:** Despite his docile nature, Jinenji has shown himself to be quite strong for a hanyō as he was able to punch through the body of a large fleshing eating demon and caused its body to explode when he squeezed it while holding it in a choke lock.
* **Enhanced Durability:** Jinenji was able to endure the flesh eating saliva of the insect demon he was fighting against on his arm while it was through the demon's body, despite not having the healing rate Inuyasha has, with little reaction afterwards besides exhaustion as he had never fought before then. However, his body is covered with long-healed scars he received from the men who persecuted him and his mother.
