**Towa Higurashi** (日(ひ)暮(ぐらし) とわ, *Higurashi Towa*?) is a main character in the fan-made series **Universal Warriors**, and the main protagonist and one of the title characters in the anime series *Hanyō no Yashahime*.

She is the firstborn daughter of Sesshōmaru and Rin and the elder fraternal twin sister of Setsuna. Upon being adopted in the modern era, she is the adoptive daughter and half-niece-in-law of Sōta Higurashi and Moe Higurashi and the adoptive older sister and half-cousin once removed of Mei Higurashi.

## Personality

At first, she has a rowdy personality and gets in fights at school. Towa despises bullies, seeing them as weak people who only target those weaker than themselves. She is very protective and caring toward her adoptive family, especially Mei, whom she sees as a substitute for Setsuna.

Unlike her half-aunt Kagome, Towa is aware of the dangers of what having knowledge of the future in the past could bring. Hence she recovers the bicycle seat from Kagome's long-lost bike and refuses to leave behind the history textbook (especially afterOgigayatsu Hiiragi Danjo took interest in foreknowledge). Towa also considers something very minor, like the core of an apple from the future, to be dangerous if left behind, due to the fact that it's not a natural apple and had been treated with modern chemicals (which can alter the environment).

Towa is aware of the more firmly established gender divisions in modern Japan, and the pressure to look and act more "feminine" occasionally irritates her. However, she has no interest in conforming to those standards, keeping her to never backing down from a fight. Her adoptive sister Mei is not very happy about this, mainly from concern about Towa getting into trouble and her belief that Towa would prefer not to have to fight. Towa indeed doesn't like fighting, having to hold back considerably to avoid breaking bones, damaging organs and outright killing humans from her strength.

Towa is soft-hearted and refuses to kill others. Even with Mistress Three-Eyes, she could not bring herself to deliver the fatal blow. During the fight against Jakotsumaru and Tōkotsu, she felt sorry for Jakotsumaru, who had been defeated by Moroha. She also felt guilty about the three of them attacking Jakotsumaru and Tōkotsu, after which Setsuna angrily rebuts that the two had killed several humans for their bones. Setsuna and Moroha are annoyed several times by Towa's soft-heartedness, believing it will put them in danger. However, Towa doesn't have much of a problem with destroying un-dead creatures or minor demons; they are not sentient like humans. Much of this attitude appears to be due to Sōta's influence, whom she promised to not reveal her powers. Though, upon finding out that Homura was responsible for the fire that separated her from Setsuna, she was shown to be vengeful as she still wanted to take him down despite the demon self-combusting. When Setsuna was slain by Kirinmaru, Towa announced that Kirinmaru was her prey. Determined to avenge her sister, Towa awoke her full demonic abilities with the intention of bringing the beast king down. When Towa's past was exposed by Zero and Nanahoshi (but Zero didn't know that Kagome has a family), Towa becomes overwhelmed by rage at the two demons to the point where she ruthlessly slew the Eternity Bug and Nanahoshi without hesitation. Similar to that of her uncle, Towa becomes consumed by rage to the point that she would disregard the other matters when fighting an opponent such as her birth mother's intertwined fate to Zero or the advice from Riku and Setsuna.

Due to growing up in the modern era, where there is a stable society that taught her to value and respect the lives of others, Towa was shocked by Kaede's casual indifference to whether Rin could still be alive after disappearing years ago; though she accepted this is due to the turbulent state of the Warring age the old woman lived in.

She thus seeks to defeat evil without doing harm to humans. This goal is tested during a battle with the possessed monk Juan, but she succeeds after finding out that she can absorb *yōki*. Towa appears to be good at handling children, it resumed that they reminds her of her adoptive younger sister Mei, even the demon turtle child choose her to have a shell armor than Moroha because the kid was scared of her attitude.

Like her mother, Towa has a lively personality, is more energetic, and playable, but after reuniting Setsuna, her aura has changed, and she is very protective of her, not even minding her attitude just to ask if she was okay. As mentioned by Kaede and Rion, Towa is a kind person.

Much like her paternal half-uncle and as a half-dog demon, Towa exhibits some dog-like behaviors and instincts, such as lapping water from a stream with Setsuna and shaking her body free of water after a battle against Drifting Pond and Venom Serpent. Or running to Setsuna on all fours to make sure she's okay after the fight with Kyūki was over and laying her head on Setsuna's body when she was grieving. When in a kneeling position, she places her hands in front or on top of her knees in a similar manner to how a dog would sit. Sōta noted that her movements were remniscent of Inuyasha's.

Due to being raised in the modern era, Towa refuses to inflict pain on anyone, including that of her enemies. This was pointed out by Setsuna when Towa had Tōtetsu read her expression from Moroha's sneak attack or from when Towa refused to cut her sister. Setsuna mentions that the naivete would eventually lead to her downfall; though ironically only lead to Setsuna's (albeit briefly).

Following the reunion with her long lost sister, Towa felt deep guilt from the moment when she had accidentally let go of Setsuna's hand during the fire and believed that Setsuna's incapability to sleep was her fault. She became determined to locate the Dream Butterfly in order to restore her sister's lost dreams and memories. When Setsuna was slain by Kirinmaru, Towa felt like she was truly weak, leaving her sister unprotected, until her father Sesshōmaru offered his Tenseiga onto her, meaning that she could still save her by recreating her father's sword and restore Setsuna to life. As noted by Kohaku, Towa doesn't consider evasion as an option when fighting someone, which leads her vulnerable to an attack. This suggests that the incident from ten years ago has traumatized Towa to the point where she had mainly been using Setsuna as an excuse for her own weaknesses. This mindset was noted to be very dangerous by Riku who feared that Towa would end up on the same path as his madam, Zero. After Setsuna recovered her childhood memories and apologized to her elder twin, Towa was able to overcome the guilt that plagued her for 10 years.

Towa is inexperienced when it comes to romance, but is well aware of the concept of liking someone. Despite this, she is shown to be easily flattered and flustered when someone makes romantic advances towards her, to the extent of leaving her blushing and speechless. Similar to her aunt Kagome, such romantic inclinations can make Towa clumsy and naive, as after Riku partially confessed his feelings for her, she trusted him so much that she gave him her Silver Pearl, only to regret it after she remembered he was Kirinmaru’s servant.

Towa has been shown to take advantage when the opportunity arises. She decided to assist Moroha in one of her bounty hunts in order to get enough funds to hire someone to seek out the Dream Butterfly or from when she learnt of Riku's sensory connection to Kirinmaru, she sent a message through Riku towards the Great Demon. Towa also doesn't judge or discriminate against others because of their origins. Despite her sheer hatred of Kirinmaru for killing her sister, Towa doesn't bear any prejudice towards Rion for being his daughter or Riku for being one of his incarnations, still regarding them as friends.

## Character Design

Towa is a young woman of average height with fair skin. She has short silver hair with a streak of paradise pink in one of her bangs and magenta eyes. In the manga, she initially had plain silver hair without the paradise pink streak until her confrontation with Mistress Three-Eyes.

As an infant, Towa was wrapped up in a light blue blanket. As a child, she wore a lavender kosode with a yellow sash. She also walked barefooted and tied her hair into a ponytail by a violet hair tie. After being adopted by the Higurashi family, Towa was seen wearing a nitro blue dress with a white petal collar, two buttons, short puffy sleeves with white petal-shaped ends and a nitro blue ribbon at the back, white socks, and pink shoes. She also wore another version of her first modern era dress that was colored lavender and navy respectively instead. She was even shown to have worn a frilly white top with a collar, Celeste accents, four buttons and a yellow ribbon, a dark green skirt, white mid-length socks, and brown penny loafers. During her "birthday", she wore a white top with a collar, purple accents and a navy ribbon, a celeste skirt, and white mid-length socks.

As a teenager, Towa wears the Shōyō Middle School uniform, even after transferring to Saint Gabriel Academy. The uniform consists of a light purplish graphite-buttoned dress shirt with a paradise pink ribbon underneath a white blazer with violet accents and golden buttons. However, unlike the female students of said school who also wears gray skirts with black accents, black mid-length socks and brown penny loafers, Towa wears matching white pants attached to a brown belt with a golden buckle, white socks, and brown boots with laces as she finds it more comfortable to fight in them. In the manga, she is shown wearing the Saint Gabriel Academy school uniform consisting of a black sailor fuku with a brown ribbon tied in the front and laced through a loop attached to the white collar, and white cuffs with a black stripe. She also wears black mid-length socks and wears uwabaki inside the school building.

In her dream, she wears a cream-colored off-shoulder top, a graphite long-sleeve shirt partnered with a matching graphite chocker necklace, jeans and sneakers. She also wears a pink bracelet along with Setsuna.

During the nights of the New Moon, Towa's hair becomes black and grows to shoulder-length. Her eyes take on a more brown hue to their color as her mother's. Her hair reverts to its usual color and original length when the moonless nights come to an end, and her eyes regain their magenta coloring.

When she becomes a demon, Towa gains the same violet crescent moon marking on her forehead as Setsuna, her father, and her grandmother's. Her ears become pointed and her hair grows to the same length as her mother's. Her fangs become more pronounced and she gains the same magenta cheek markings as Setsuna's. Her irises has same color, her body gives off a bright sky blue aura when using her powers. When not in control of her powers, Towa's sclera becomes red as her irises became teal slits just like her half-uncle, but lacks the white pupils also lacks the crescent moon marking on her forehead, in which the awaking the blood of her grandfather's. In addition, her body gives off a crimson aura instead of her usual light blue aura. Her fingernails also lengthen to claws as her father's.

When she wielding the broken Tenseiga and infusing demonic energy into it, Towa's hair turns black but retains its usual length, gains the crescent moon marking on her forehead and a blue glow on her eyes.

During the ending theme Transparent World, Towa wears white T-shirt with half of circle on side is blue, and the other is red, she wears dark blue sweater as she nearly took off when its warm, and put it on when its cold, she has blue jeans, red socks and shoes.

During the ending theme Anaaki no Sora, Towa wears a light colored kimono with a tiger stripe style pattern with a lavender sash with a crimson accent. She also wears bandage around her corset with woven sandals.

## Abilities and Equipment

### Powers and Abilities

Despite being highly athletic, having grown up in the modern era for her preteen and early teenage years, Towa is the least combat-experienced of the three Half Demon Princesses. She would easily let her guard down and be susceptible to attacks, which initially let her be possessed by a Hitōkon. She was also initially unaware of her status as a hanyō, resulting in her powers not be as developed as either Setsuna’s or Moroha’s.

Despite this, Towa is still shown to be a powerful hanyō in her own right. She was able to land a critical blow to Mistress Three-Eyes, whose strength was increased by two Rainbow Pearls, a feat neither Setsuna nor Moroha could accomplish. While possessed by the Hitōkon, who can draw into its host's abilities, Towa can fight evenly with the battle experienced Setsuna. Later on, she was the only one who actually managed to hold her own and injure Kirinmaru out of the trio, impressing Kirinmaru to where he admitted her worth as Tōga's granddaughter.

* **Demonic Power**: Being the daughter of an extremely powerful daiyōkai, Towa boasts incredible demonic power, impressing even Setsuna and Moroha. However, having grown up with no one teaching her how to utilize her powers, Towa is unaware of her own abilities and what she could accomplish. It appears that her powers only manifest when she is in a heightened emotional state.

* **Demonic Energy Projection**: Towa can strike silently at a distance with thin projections from her fingers. Her Demonic aura takes on the form of Sesshōmaru's true form.

* **Swordsmanship**: Being that swordplay is her main form of combat, combined with the various *bokken* and *shinai* in her room, Towa is implied to be proficient in swordsmanship. Indeed, she was skilled enough to hold her own against Kirinmaru and even manage to cut him, causing him to compliment her skill, whereas Moroha and Setsuna were easily defeated by him in a straight fight.

* **Demonic Energy Blade**: By channeling her demonic power into her broken katana, Towa can generate an energy blade. The blade's size and length can be controlled at will, granting Towa great offensive and defensive abilities.
* **Sōryūha** (蒼(そう)龍(りゅう)破(は), "**Dragon Strike**"): From the tip of her energy blade, Towa can unleash a powerful demonic energy wave in the form of a blue dragon similar to the one her father had frequently had generated from his Tōkijin and Tenseiga.

* **Tsuin Sōryūha** (ツイン蒼(そう)龍(りゅう)破(は), "**Twin Azure Dragon Wave**"): A variant of the technique used by Towa in her full demon form, Kirinmaru was the one whom gave it the name.

* **Demonic Energy Whip**: Towa's can manifest her demonic energy around her opponent and ensnare them. Her father possesses this ability as well, but only in the anime.
* **Demonic Energy Absorption**: Towa can absorb demonic energy, effectively increasing her own. This can be done both through direct enemy contact or by simply absorbing any leftover traces on her body after receiving an attack. In addition, Towa is also capable of infusing demonic energy into objects as seen when she infused her own power into Meiōjū's shell to activate his spirit.
* **Barrier:** Towa manifests a barrier when in her full demon form which she can use to protect herself and others.

#### Skills

* **Experienced Combatant**: Towa is very proficient in unarmed combat, able to easily switch between kicks, throws, and elbow strikes. Even while holding her strength, she can still easily defeat a gang of bullies, who were significantly larger and heavier than her, regularly.
* **Enhanced Physical Abilities**: Being a hanyō, Towa’s physical abilities are far superior to the average human. As a child, she could jump from a tall tree and land on the ground without injuring herself. As a teenager, she can easily lift up and throw a man many meters through the air with just one hand. She is also capable of jumping incredible heights and leap vast distances. When she fought Kirinmaru, a sword blow she landed was actually able to injure him and cause him some pain. This has earned her a few awards in kendo, athletics, and martial arts.
* **Enhanced Sense of Smell**: Being an inu-hanyō, Towa possesses an incredibly acute sense of smell, able to detect a human's presence and/or whereabouts even at far distances. However, having lived in a peaceful modern era for a long time, she wasn't familiar with this skill.
* **Enhanced Durability and Reflexes**: Being a hanyō, Towa is far more durable than the average human. A gangster hit her several times in the face with a wooden katana and did not cause any real injuries. She can also withstand demonic attacks and absorb the latent *yōki*.
* **Enhanced Agility**: Towa can quickly jump great heights due to her superhuman strength and dexterity. She is also well versed in climbing and jumping up a building in the city. Her stamina, however, is not as strong, leaving her unable to physically keep up with Moroha or Setsuna on foot.
* **Poison Resistance**: Inherited from her father, Towa is immune from poison-based attacks, such as miasma and poison mist.

### Equipment

* **Replica of Kikujūmonji:** Towa’s primary weapon. Initially believed to be the real national treasure sword, it was later revealed to be a museum loan. The blade broke during the fight with Mistress Three-Eyes. However, Towa’s ability to create an energy blade from its handle allows her to continue wielding the sword in combat.
* **The sheath of Kikujūmonji:** The sheath used to hold the Kikujūmonji replica.
* **Silver Rainbow Pearl** (formerly): Towa possessed the Silver Rainbow Pearl inside her left eye. It appears that many of her natural demonic abilities are due to the influence and boost from the Silver Pearl, as her left eye tends to glow when she utilizes any one of them. She later gave it to Riku so he could return it to Zero.

* **Time Travel**: Towa could travel back and forth five hundred years between the Feudal Era and modern-day Tokyo, though not by her own doing.
* **Protection:** The pearl granted Towa protection from spells. When she was separated from the pearl, it made her vulnerable to Zero's manipulation.

* **Tenseiga:** Towa receives the Tenseiga from her father, Sesshōmaru. Thanks to her Modern era childhood, Towa developed a loving and compassionate heart, which is hard for those living in Feudal era to maintain.-->
* **Aquatic Adaptation Lacrima** (水(すい)中(ちゅう)適(てき)合(ごう)の星水晶(ラクリマ), "Suichū Tekigō no Rakurima"): During her stay on Red Cave, Towa wore one of these devices which allowed her to breathe and communicate underwater without any issues.

## Story

### Original

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 Template:Wplink.

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.

## Trivia

* According to her Character Profile:

* Towa's favorite subject is physics, while his least favorite subject is history of world.
* Her favorite food is fish (especially prawns) and disliked food is rice.
* Towa prefers man with have a ponytail and he doesn't like people who set up fights (because fighting with bad people is a daily occurrence to stop bullying of weak people when they are in elementary school).
* The people she respects or admires are Setsuna and Moroha.
* The people she dislikes or fears are Parents.
* Her weaknesses is family.

* It's implied Towa doesn't wear pajamas when she sleeps, going by Episode 2 and the fact she sleeps in her uniform in the Feudal Era; a stark difference between her and her half-aunt Kagome.
* Unlike her her half-uncle and sister, Towa has not been taken over by her demonic blood in life-or-death situations; this includes the fact her powers were never sealed. It seems to be a byproduct of never having real danger threaten her during her life in the modern era (where law enforcement handles such things and school thugs are very weak in comparison to Towa). Instead however, her blood activates whenever she goes through emotional pain (or after when she suffers a mental breakdown during the Eternity Bug); evident in Sesshōmaru's Daughter and A Place (Not) for Towa.
	+ The fact Towa only gains full access to her demonic powers through her strong love and compassion is deeply ironic; Setsuna said numerous times to abandon such things for strength, when it proved to be what made Towa stronger than her and maintain her sanity; this wasn't until however in A Place (Not) for Towa is when she fell under Zero's influence and begun a rampage.
	+ When she speaks once she becomes a full demon in the English dub, her voice becomes deeper and raspier.
* Unlike most other hanyō, including her paternal half-uncle, Towa does not have any obvious physical indications of being a hanyō, such as dog ears. Her only visibly inhuman traits are her abnormally-colored hair and eyes.
	+ Of note, her hair and eye colors are opposite her sister's, as red and violet are opposite ends of the visible spectrum and black and white are polar opposites.
* Towa's name, like that of her sister Setsuna, is homophonous with a time word, "Eternity." This could allude to the fact that both sisters travel through time.
* Despite being an inu-hanyō like her half-uncle Inuyasha, she and Setsuna seem to age at the same rate as humans. According to Rumiko Takahashi in a *Shōnen Sunday Super* interview, she explains that hanyō age at the same rate as humans, but that rate steadily decreases once they reach adolescence.
	+ Meaning like her parental half-uncle, Towa would still look like a teenager at 150 years old.
* In Night of the New Moon and the Black-Haired Towa, it was implied all half-demons share the same date for their human transformation, the new moon night. This information contradicts the original manga as it was established all half-demons have different transformation days. Whether Towa shares the same day as Inuyasha due to sharing inu-hanyō blood is still unknown.
	+ Coincidentally, Towa and Setsuna were born during the night of a lunar eclipse like Inuyasha.
* Towa inherited some of her mother Rin's traits;
	+ Both share the same lively personality, facial expressions, and having the same bangs.
		- In addition, her hair and eye color when the former loses her demonic power. During the concept of her design for the new moon, Yoshito Hishinuma included the idea of giving Towa the feeling of bouncy hair that her mother has.
* In the English Dub, her voice becomes softer when she becomes full human.
* She and Sara Asano are the only half-demons who has surnames.
* It's most apparent when her hair grows out during her new moon and full demon transformations, but she seems to have inherited her mother Rin's rather messy hair, as opposed to Setsuna, who's hair is straight, like their father Sesshōmaru's.
* Second to Naraku, Towa is another half-demon to have more than three forms.
* Towa's favorite tea is Earl Grey and her favorite food is red apples.
* Towa's documented birthday was decided to be the day that she arrived in the modern era.
* Towa is also the name of a Towa Kannagi from Rumiko Takahashi's earlier manga, *Mermaid Saga*. Coincidentally, both characters have a twin sister.
* She looks physically similar to Tsubasa Jūmonji from Kyōkai no Rinne, and the name of her weapon, Kikujūmonji (掬十文字), contains the same kanji as his last name (十文字).
* According to her seiyū, Sara Matsumoto, Towa is represented by the Lily.
* According to Takahashi Rumiko, Sumisawa told her that Towa is a white Sesshōmaru whilst Setsuna is a black Sesshōmaru.
* According to Hishida-san in the December 2021 issue of Animage, a full dog Towa would be extremely attached. Her breed would be that of a Miniture Dachshund/Akita mix.
* According to Hishida-san in the January 2022 issue of Animedia, it takes Towa a minute to fall asleep and recovers from things after a good night's sleep with the exception of the incident with Setsuna.
* Towa's birthday is on March the 20th, making her a Pieces.
* Towa is said to be "misunderstood by a man," according to Ady.
