Biography
Origin
Orihime Inoue (Japanese: 井上 織姫, Hepburn: Inoue Orihime) was a female human who was born as the child of a drunken father and a prostitute mother with her having an older brother named Sora Inoue. Her parents were always arguing and beating their children where her brother Sora came to believe that they would kill his sister. This led to him and Orihime running away from home when he turned 18 years old where he took his 3 year old sister with him. Upon running away, they settled in Karakura Town where he decided to raise his sister on his own from that point forwards.
Soul Society
Travelling to Urahara's Shop, she along with Chad, Uryū and Ichigo were led by Yoruichi into the Dangai as they journeyed to Soul Society.
Upon arriving in Soul Society, their group came to split up with Orihime wandering the city with Uryū.
Arrancar
Orihime and Chad later responded to a surge of spiritual pressure where they saw a tear into the world of the living by the Arrancar. These two were Ulquiorra Schiffer and Yammy Riyalgo who were member of the Espada that had come to probe the resistance they would experience in Karakura Town.
She continued her training with Rukia in the Soul Society at the old training grounds of the Thirteenth Division. However, Karakura Town experienced a third invasion from the Arrancar with the Soul Society informing Captain Ukitake who alerted Orihime and Rukia.
Heuco Mundo
Inside her cell, she was approached by Loly and Menoly where the pair decided to take their jealousy out on her once again. The pair began to beat her and were looking to kill her for the attention she had received from Aizen. This was interrupted by Grimmjow who effortlessly knocked aside the two female Arrancar with him critically injuring Menoly. He then decided to take Orihime away as part of his own plan but she first intended to heal Loly and Menoly of their wounds. Grimmjow then took Inoue with him as he went to find Ichigo in order to continue his fight with Kurosaki where he wanted Orihime to heal the shinigami of his injuries. This was because Grimmjow wanted a fair fight where he would fight Ichigo at his full strength and to defeat him. At first, Orihime refused as she knew that Grimmjow only wanted to heal Ichigo to fight him but Kurosaki asked her to heal him as he intended to fight Jaegerjaquez as well.
Thousand Year Blood War
Sometime afterwards, she came to marry Ichigo and later gave birth to their son who they named Kazui Kurosaki.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Orihime Inoue was a female human of average height who had brown eyes and long, waist-length, burnt orange hair.
Orihime was shown to be friendly, humorous, sensitive and kind person. Her warm and bubbly personality meant that she was very sweet who tended to be a good friend to almost everyone. She believed it to be possible for people to care about one another and to place their hearts as close together as they can manage to the point that they were one.
She tended to come off as naïve and somewhat clueless which was at odds with her exceptionally high marks in school. This also led to her tendency to rush into situations without thinking which sometimes lead to embarrassing or even dangerous consequences.
Her imagination led her to wanting to do many things in her life as she said she wanted to be a teacher, an astronaut and even own a cake shop. However, she often lamented that the sheer number of things she wanted meant she wished she could live her life five times over or be in five different places at once. Despite that, she remarked that though she wanted to do different things she would always fall in love with the same person.
She had an older brother by the name of Sora Inoue (井上昊, Inoue Sora) who was responsible for raising her.
In fact, she wore her hair long in honor of the promise Tatsuki Arisawa once made to protect her.
Originally, she developed a crush on Ichigo Kurosaki (黒崎 一護, Kurosaki Ichigo) after he saved her life. This led to her becoming his close friend where her feelings developed into an unconditional love for him. At one point, she cam to be jealous of the relationship that Ichigo and Rukia Kuchiki shared with one another despite her friendship and admiration of both of them. By adulthood, she came to marry Ichigo Kurosaki and in that time she had their child who was named Kazui Kurosaki (黒崎一勇, Kurosaki Kazui).
Powers and abilities
She came to be skilled in detecting spiritual energy allowing her to sense Hollows and battles at significant distances. Orihime was even able to sense Reiatsu of people that were within protective barriers.
Her spirit energy cam to manifest in the Shun Shun Rikka (盾舜六花, Six Flowers of the Hibiscus Shield; Viz "Six Princess Shielding Flowers") that was a six-petal flower-shaped hairpin given to her by her brother. It consisted of six sprits that resided within the hairpins each of which were two petals on the clip when inactive.
When using her powers, she said the words "I reject" (私は拒絶する, watashi wa kyozetsu suru). Among the techniques known to her included:
- Santen Kesshun (三天結盾, Three Sacred Links Shield) : a defensive technique that created a shield between the enemy and the target which repelled any attacks against it.
- Sōten Kisshun (双天帰盾, Twin Sacred Return Shield) : a healing technique that surrounded a target in energy that returned it to its former, complete state. Rather than heal, it rejected, reversed, and reconstructed phenomena that had occurred even those that Orihime had not witnessed.
- Koten Zanshun (孤天斬盾, Solitary Sacred Cutting Shield) :
- Shiten Kōshun (四天抗盾, Shield of Four Heavens' Resistance) :
She later underwent basic training in Kidō with Kūkaku Shiba where Orihime demonstrated a natural talent for precise spiritual energy control as she quickly mastered the technique.
