This screenshot motivational poster is dedicated to all of my Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Ayame, and Rin-loving friends, fellow artists, fans, and brethren. While this is pro-SessAya, pro-InuAya, pro-SessAyaInu, pro-Rin and basically very supportive of Rin’s supportively familial relationship with Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame as her role models and parental figures, this is also highly Anti-Kouga, Anti-Kagome, Anti-Miroku, Anti-Kaede, and Anti-Sango. So, sit back, relax, and revel in Rin’s admiration of her three most beloved parental figures Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame.
What happens when you combine three of my most favorite young adult characters and my most favorite kid character from Inuyasha and let them be under one roof? You get an absolutely wonderful familial relationship involving Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame being powerful yet loving parental figures to Rin as their loving adoptive daughter.
Thanks to being extremely inspired by RivaAnime’s screenshot motivational posters revolving around Rin, I found a lot of great reasons why she has become not only my most favorite character in Inuyasha, among all the adults, young adults, and children, but also one of my favorite anime characters ever.
Rin does a lot of things a whole lot better than what Kaede, Miroku, Sango, and Kagome ever hope to accomplish in terms of compassion and understanding, especially where Sesshoumaru and, at times, Inuyasha are concerned.
She is not quick to jump to conclusions, can easily forgive, and is not a manipulative soul in the slightest. She has also lived a very difficult life as a child whose parents and brother were unfairly deprived of her. It also did not help matters that there were occasions where she ended up being bruised by the village men for taking fish as a means for Sesshoumaru’s nourishment after his skirmish with Inuyasha regarding the Tessaiga’s power and, the most tragic case, have her young life taken away by Kouga and his rogue wolves before being revived by Sesshoumaru and his Tenseiga.
When watching her growth in the two anime series, I can sense a whole lot of potential for her to grow up to be a compassionate healer and an equally fine fighter who can take on various opponents head on.
Enter Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame who would be able to be the role models, parental figures, and the absolutely amazing people who can mould Rin’s potential as a fighter and people Rin can look up to, even though Sesshoumaru is a dog daiyokai, Inuyasha is a dog hanyou, and Ayame is a Northern Yoro wolf yokai.
Sesshoumaru, Inyuasha, and Ayame being Rin’s role models and parents go hand-in-hand with my AU revolving around them.
Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame have been hailed as the Northern Yoro tribe’s finest warriors with the strength of elephants, the speed of cheetahs, and the stealth of jaguars. It also helped matters that Ayame has been happily-wedded to both of her suitors, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, ever since she was young, ever since they rescued her from the Birds of Paradise.
While they adopted Dai, Roku, Kai, Shiori, Kanna, Souten, and Shinta as their own children, there was one more child who needed a home of her own and she was Rin. Ever since she lost both of her parents and her brother, Rin has lived a solitary life with no friends and no one to comfort her in a cruel world.
Rin’s whole life turned around when Kouga and his rogue wolves were ravaging the village. Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame heard the cries of innocent people and even Rin, who was being in hot pursuit by Kouga’s wolves, plus the scent of blood. Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame put their claws, fists, fangs, and feet to great use and found out that Kouga and his rogue wolves were behind this massacre. Inuyasha even put his ears to use and heard that Rin was being chased by the murderous wolves and by Kouga who had her cornered. Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame came to the rescue, clawed their way through his wolves, and both Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha confronted Kouga with their fists ready to give him a great and powerful pummeling. Kouga ended up being weak in the knees and ended up being pummeled by Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. Ayame even delivered the final blow which sent Kouga literally flying back to his cave and his rogue wolves running in terror of the three Northern Yoro warriors. Ever since then, Kouga did not end up recovering from his wounds and ended up getting what was coming to him.
Rin finally had the courage to speak, and was extremely grateful for her saviors, hugging all three of them. She even stated that she wanted to be as strong, powerful, and formidable as them and wanted to live and train with them for the rest of her life. Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame were quite unsure of how to make of this, but they thought she would be safe with them. When they said yes to Rin staying with them to be a part of their family, she was overjoyed, as she even had the luxury of hopping on Inuyasha’s back.
Rin ended up being a part of Sesshoumaru’s, Inuyasha’s, and Ayame’s powerful family and was so happy to have Dai, Roku, and Kai as her older brothers and Shiori, Kanna, Shinta, and Souten as her younger siblings. She was even happy to have Masataka, Masaya, Motomu, Kenta, Keita, Kazuhiko, and Kaito also as her older brothers and Momoko, Makoto, Mikoto, Maya, and Minako as her sisters. She even found it a joy to train with her parents and her siblings to become powerful warriors and became just as formidable in various forms of hand-to-hand combat as them. Furthermore, she grew up to be a strong, compassionate, loving warrior who made it her duty to protect the Northern Yoro tribe and all of life in general.
In conclusion, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame would certainly do a whole world of good in Rin’s life by helping her to grow in strength and formidability. Rin would also do a whole world of good to Sesshoumaru’s, Inuyasha’s, and Ayame’s lives by displaying compassion, understanding, kindness, respect, allegiance, and unconditional love to them every step of the way. They certainly complete the picture of a nice, well-meaning family.
I hope you all enjoyed this and I will see you in the next submission. Take care and stay safe, everybody.
