Kikyo was once a renowned priestess given the task to care for the powerful Shikon Jewel. However, she fell in love with Inuyasha and was later tricked into betraying him by Naraku. After suffering a major injury(from Naraku disguised as Inuyasha)she used the last of her strength to seal Inuyasha to a tree with one of her sacred arrows. Her body was later cremated along with the Shikon Jewel.
After Inuyasha was freed and joined Kagome in searching for the Shikon shards, the witch Urasue used her powers to resurrect Kikyo. But even the newly revived Kikyo still harbored the sting of betrayal in her soul. Though she eventually learned the truth about Onigumo and Naraku, her feelings of hatred and bitterness still remain. At first she wanted nothing more than for Inuyasha to die with her, but her focus eventually shifted to using the Jewel's power to destroy Naraku. She never takes anyone's side, but does things to serve her own thoughts and feelings. Because of this, she may appear wicked and cold, but it's apparent that Kikyo has a reason for the things she does. A lot of the time, she wanders from village to village, using her spiritual powers to help people. However, since her body isn't that of a real human being but an empty shell made of clay and soil, she relies on her soul-collecting demons to bring her dead souls for energy. Her relationship with Inuyasha is still shaky and awkward. She continues to carry a severe hatred inside of her, but she simply cannot bring herself to truly harm him. And although she's rather indifferent to Kagome, she's obviously aware of the relationship growing between them.
