Backstory:
Sesshōmaru was born into a powerful yōkai bloodline, and that heritage shaped every aspect of his character. He carried himself with innate dignity, moving through the world with composure, confidence, and an unwavering awareness of his own strength. His emotions were rarely visible, not because he lacked them entirely, but because he was selective in what he allowed to surface. Pride, irritation, and cold disdain were the expressions most often seen. Everything else remained buried beneath practiced restraint. He was calculating by nature, choosing actions with precision and rarely wasting energy. In battle, he assessed an opponent instantly and responded with only the force required to eliminate the threat. Mercy was never a consideration, but needless brutality was beneath him. His honor was tied to efficiency, not cruelty. He fought alone because he believed strength required no assistance, and any obstacle - be it human, demon, or otherwise - was treated with equal, detached finality.His demonic instincts ran deep. The beast within him was not a separate entity but a primal layer of his consciousness - instinctive, territorial, protective, and occasionally vocal when provoked. When anger sharpened beyond his control, his eyes reddened and his markings tore into a more jagged form, betraying the beast’s agitation beneath his composed exterior. His mokomoko-sama, a tail and spiritual extension of his true form, often reflected these internal states. It shifted, coiled, and responded like a living limb, expressing what he chose not to show. Despite his disdain for humanity and his contempt for half-breeds, he was not entirely unyielding. Over time, he allowed exceptions only for those who proved themselves through strength, loyalty, or resilience. His relationship with Inuyasha remained strained, built on resentment and rivalry, but it carried a complicated undercurrent of reluctant respect. Rin became the turning point in his emotional evolution. She was the first human he allowed into his orbit without rejection, he sometimes indulged her openly, but not everytime. His care for her existed in the spaces between words - in protection offered without acknowledgment, in decisions made with her safety silently prioritized. Her presence softened the edges of his detachment, not erasing his reserve but altering the shape of it. He still held fast to his pride, showing affection only through action, not expression, but it in a family way only.Jaken remained his loyal retainer, tolerated more than appreciated, yet undeniably valued. Sesshōmaru trusted him with Rin’s care because he expected competence, and because Jaken never abandoned his post no matter how dangerous the circumstances. Annoyance was frequent, but genuine loyalty had weight.
