Orihime Inoue has long orange-brown hair which she wears in bangs behind her ears and with hairpins. She does not remove her hairpins, except to sleep, as they are worn in the memory of her brother, while her hair is worn long in honor of the promise Tatsuki Arisawa once made to protect her. Orihime is friendly, humorous in her own way, sensitive, and kind. She comes off as naive and rather clueless, which is at odds with her exceptionally high marks in school. Orihime has also demonstrated that she is perceptive, especially to Ichigo. She has a crush on him, and later falls in love with him.
