Kirara
Name Information:
Her name means "mica"
Character Description:
Kirara is a neko youkai (cat demon), and a companion to Sango.
In her normal form, Kirara is a small kitten with two tails, but when her help is needed or trouble strikes, she changes into a huge cat with sharp fangs and claws. In this form she can also fly, and can carry others.
Inuyasha first meets Kirara in a village that was attacked by demons. He later learns that she is the beloved pet of the demon hunter Sango.
Kirara has no known relatives, although in one episode there is another two-tailed cat (with three kittens). In episode 26, there is also a short scene in which a neko youkai is standing with Midoriko - the powerful miko who created the Shikon no Tama. If this is indeed Kirara, it would mean that she is quite old despite her looks.
