He is very loyal; it's one of his best characteristics. He protects Kagome and his friends even if it means putting himself in danger. He swears a lot and he's sometimes violent to characters that annoy him. It might seem like he is selfish, rough and rude on the outside, but he actually cares a lot about his friends. He just wants to hide the fact that he cares a lot about them. He does everything without thinking beforehand... and regrets it later. This aspect of his personality is sometimes dangerous in battle because he doesn't analyze his enemy before attacking. While someone like Miroku thinks about the strategies first, Inuyasha attacks and then learns from his mistake. Inuyasha has 3 forms: Half-Demon Form His appearance is almost the same as a normal human being, except he just has dog ears and possesses some "dog-like" characteristics. For example, he scratches his ear with his foot just like a dog. The way he sits also resembles a dog. He has silver hair and brown-orange eyes. His fire-rat clothing consists of red, red and more red. He wears a white shirt underneath. He also has very long nails. He is forced to wear magic rosary beads on his neck which make him fall down whenever Kagome says "Osuwari!". Human Form Unfortunately for Inuyasha, during the night of the new moon, his appearance changes and he becomes human because he is a half-demon. He loses his dog ears, his claws and his hair becomes black. It's not just his appearance that changes, he also loses his attacks, his ability to heal quickly, and his tetsusaiga does not transform when he wields it. Other half-demons hide themselves when they transform to keep the exact day of the transformation a secret. Inuyasha does this too, but when his friends are in danger, he risks everything, even his secret. Demon-Like Form Inuyasha inherited a very powerful type of demon blood from his father, which the body of a half-demon cannot control. In a life-threatening situation when he is not wielding a tetsusaiga, this demon blood takes over his body and he transforms into a demon-like form. He is not a full demon in this form, he still remains a half-demon. In this transformation, Inuyasha loses himself completely. He kills everything in sight, whether it's a human being or a demon. He could even kill Kagome because Inuyasha has no way of knowing what he is doing. When he transforms back into his normal-self, he does not remember anything. If he transforms into this state often, Inuyasha would not be able to go back to normal and he would go on killing until his body died. Other demons with a strong sense of smell have noted that his blood smells like the blood of a full demon. His eyes become completely red and his claws become drenched with the blood of the creatures he had killed. His face also becomes dark and his expression becomes frightening.
