Inoue, Orihime

井上織姫

Orihime Inoue has long orange-brown hair, which she styles with her bangs tucked behind her ears and secured with hairpins. She keeps these hairpins on at all times, except when sleeping (as seen in episode 64 upon waking), because they serve as a memorial to her brother. Her long hair is a tribute to a promise Tatsuki Arisawa once made to protect her. Her large breasts are occasionally the subject of jokes in the series. She also possesses an incredibly hard head, which has injured Uryū, Chad, and Ichigo. The only person to damage her head was Yachiru Kusajishi, in a comical moment while riding on Kenpachi Zaraki's shoulders. In colored manga illustrations, Orihime has yellow-orange/brown eyes, but gray eyes in the anime.
Orihime is friendly, humorous in her own way, sensitive, and kind. She appears naive and rather clueless, which contrasts with her exceptionally high school grades. Apparently, she is hopeless with technology. A member of the Handicrafts' Club remarks that she is not smart enough to use a cell phone, which is why she does not own one. Additionally, according to Tatsuki, Orihime has the fighting skill of a black belt; however, in the English dubbed version, Tatsuki states that Orihime is at the skill level of a yellow belt.
Orihime cooks and eats strange food at home, although she also enjoys some normal dishes. Aside from Rangiku Matsumoto and possibly Tessai Tsukabishi, no one shares Orihime's tastes. Her favorite food is red bean paste, and she likes putting butter on sweet potatoes.
Orihime has a tendency to rush into situations without thinking, sometimes leading to embarrassing consequences. At one point, schoolgirls ask Rukia if she has feelings for Ichigo. When Rukia denies this, Orihime is disappointed that Rukia does not share her sentiments, because if she had, it would be two girls against one boy, and therefore the girls' "team" would win, which makes no sense. She also tends to have an overactive imagination and gets carried away thinking of implausible scenarios, such as portraying herself as a futuristic and apparently highly destructive robot in an assignment asking "How do you see yourself in the future?" when the question refers to what occupation one wishes or believes they will have.
Orihime has also demonstrated that she is perceptive, mostly regarding Ichigo Kurosaki. She is in love with Ichigo, and in both the manga and anime, her feelings only become more evident as time goes on. She has revealed these feelings both to Rangiku Matsumoto and to Ichigo himself, though he was asleep at the time. She also has the uncanny ability to detect Ichigo by scent and sense his spiritual pressure, even when it is masked by the visored.
Orihime lives by herself in Karakura Town, where the story takes place, and is supported by relatives living elsewhere. Previously, she had lived with her older brother, Sora, who was fifteen years older than her. She and her brother were raised by a drunk father and an unfaithful mother, who always argued and beat their children. It is unknown if her parents are still alive.
When Sora turned eighteen, he ran away with Orihime, who was three years old, and raised her since. For six years, Orihime and Sora lived in harmony despite the fact that Orihime was bullied in school because of her long hair. One day, Sora gave Orihime a pair of hairpins. However, Orihime refused to wear them because she said they were childish. On the same day, Sora was wounded in a car accident and died in the Kurosaki clinic. Orihime has worn the hairpins ever since. A year after Sora died, Orihime met Tatsuki, who defended her from the bullies. They have been best friends ever since.
