Personality
Inuyasha is rude as he never uses honorifics to address others and with those he doesn't like, he addresses them as "temee". His respect for the elderly is almost nonexistent as he often calls old women "baba" and "jiji" for elderly males. Inuyasha's volatile emotions often drive him to behave childishly and he is stubborn. Even when his life is in danger, he refuses to back down and he uses an unorthodix fighting style. He is driven by a fierce, persistent determination to win and his guts in battle have proven to work in his favor. He is incredibly hot-headed and easy to upset, often striking out with his fists at the source of his annoyance.
He has a good heart and despises those who ostracize others and those who kill for fun but has trouble with his temper.
At first he wanted to create his place through power and is unsure of what occupation to take but later decides to become a benihana chef.

Family
parents – Tōga and Izayoi (deceased), grandparents – Yuudai and Tsukiko (deceased), older half-brother – Sesshōmaru, stepmother – Kimi, younger twin brother – Inuyōsei, nieces – Towa and Setsuna
Inuyasha and his younger twin brother received their names from their father, the dog demon lord, Tōga at birth. Unfortunately, he died shortly after protecting them and their mother from a samurai named "Takemaru no Setsuna" who also had feelings for their mother so the twins don't have any memory of him. They are aware that he was a powerful demon and Tōga left his treasure sword, Tessaiga, to Inuyasha after his death which allows Inuyasha to keep his demon blood in check. Inuyasha was raised by his mother but Inuyosei was separated as an infant so Inuyasha has more memories of her out of the twins. He recalls his mother crying for him after he asked her what is a "half-demon" as a child. However, he finds it difficult to talk about his mother.
His older brother, Sesshōmaru, has a different mother and is full demon. He resents the twins for their tainted human lineage aside from being the cause of his father's death. Ironically, he does become the father of half-demon daughter twins himself and Inuyasha and Inuyosei are good uncles towards his daughters. Inuyōsei was initially jealous towards him because it looked like Izayoi loved him more. He felt duty bound to uphold the promise between him and his deceased mother to search for Inuyasha. He gradually comes to care for and love Inuyasha a lot and the feeling is mutual.

Love Interests
Valerie Nguyễn aka Sailor Nix
In their previous lives, they met during Princess Serenity and Princess Tranquility's 14th birthday ball. When the attendees were asked to dance with someone from another home celestial body, Valerie found herself staring at Queen Serenity's first prince, Prince Lucian and the prince smirked at her when he caught her staring before bowing and invited her to dance. Nix boldly accepted his invitation and they spoke during and after the dance then kissed in the rose gardens of the Moon Castle. She remembered him from their past lives, but he didn't. His cold attitude and bluntness put her off but since they're both of supernatural and mixed human lineage with sharp noses, they were able to connect their civilian forms to their alter egos because of their scents. As they cross paths with one another, Inuyasha finds her to be brave and Valerie sees a more protective side to him. As they fall in love all over again, Inuyasha eventually recalls his past life memories and his previous romance with Vanessa's past incarnation. When he is 18 on documentation, they get married.

Allies and Teammates
Solar System Celestial Knights
He is the second in command of the Solar System Celestial Knights.
Edward Elric aka Sun Knight
Both are leaders of the Solar System Celestial Knights but aside from wielding powerful light powers, both unfortunately both share immature characteristics. Both are childish, petty, quick to anger, and vindictive and are not above making fun of the other. Inuyasha usually mocks Edward for his height while Edward mocks Inuyasha for all his bad characteristics which includes his lack of intelligence which results in either verbal or physical altercations. Ash aka Neptunus Knight who hangs with them both usually has to break them up but when they aren't arguing, they get along well as they spend a lot of time together with Ash aka Neptunus Knight. Aside from liking the color red, both value life and detest others who kill mercilessly. When they aren't being immature, both are decisive fighters who can quickly think of ideas as well as help direct others when needed.
Aishiro Mikan aka Cytherean Knight
When it comes to wearing street style clothes, they discuss which ones look good for wearing and sometimes go shopping together where they rely on the other as a consultant. They agree on the charm of varsity jackets as part of their wardrobes. When it comes to music, Inuyasha prefers Jpop and Japanese rock but Aishiro likes his music choices but as for vice-versa, Inuyasha doesn't always agree with Aishiro's hip hop songs especially if they're loud and he can't understand English. However, there are some hip hop songs that he finds pleasing. They are the only capable chefs among the Solar System Celestial Knights and so, they often collaborate when it comes to cooking for them and their comrades. Aishiro has flirted with Inuyasha much to his aggravation and he has flatly stated. "I'm not interested."
Jun Sakurada aka Mercurius Knight
Jun has often remarked that Inuyasha acts immaturely like a kid much to Inuyasha’s irritation. Inuyasha often retorts back to Jun’s comments that he’s a lot older than him despite how he looks. This makes Jun call Inuyasha an old man which leads Inuyasha to hitting him. Mercurius Knight is afraid of heights which leads to Lunar Knight giving him mid-air piggyback rides in battle even though Lunar Knight grumbles about it. The mid-air piggyback rides can freak Mercurius Knight out causing Lunar Knight to tell the boy to shut up. However, Mercurius Knight later is no longer dependent on the mid-air piggyback rides and acknowledges Lunar Knight’s strength.
Satoshi "Ash" Ketchum aka Neptunus Knight
Satoshi is always eager to make friends, however given the fact Inuyasha has been outcasted for most of his life, he didn't make a good impression on Satoshi. Satoshi's friendliness makes him feel wary which causes him to react rudely. However, much to Inuyasha's surprise, Satoshi didn't treat him differently because of his half-demon nature and even thought his dog ears were cute much to Inuyasha's indignation. Inuyasha asked him wasn't he afraid of him because of his demon blood? Satoshi replied that despite his rudeness, he knew Inuyasha was a good person at heart so why would he be afraid of him? Over time, he started warming up to Satoshi, understood his nature, and hung around him more.

Inspirations
Since Inuyasha is pretty much the titular character from Inuyasha, he had to have music from the show in his soundtrack. I wanted Lunar Knight to have the discarded Sailor Moon winged mask and the mystery title that was given to Sailor Moon once. Thanks to the Inuyasha wikia for helping me describe his personality and abilities.
