She is in love with Ichigo, and in both the manga and anime, her feelings only become more evident as time goes on. Orihime has also demonstrated that she is perceptive, mostly when it comes to Ichigo Kurosaki. 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. When Rukia denies any such thing, Orihime is disappointed that Rukia does not share her sentiments, because if she had, then it would be two girls against one boy and therefore the girls 'team' would win, which makes no sense. At one point, the schoolgirls ask Rukia if she has feelings for Ichigo. Orihime has a tendency to rush into situations without thinking, sometimes leading to embarrassing consequences.

Her favorite food is red bean paste, and she likes putting butter on sweet potatoes.

Aside from Rangiku Matsumoto and possibly Tessai Tsukabishi, no one shares Orihime's tastes. Orihime cooks and eats strange food at home, although she also likes some normal food. Additionally, according to Tatsuki, Orihime has the fighting skill of a black belt, however, in the English dubbed version she says Orihime is at the skill of a yellow belt. One of the members of the Handicrafts' Club remarks that she is not smart enough to use a cell phone, which is why she does not have one. Apparently, she is hopeless when it comes to technology. She comes off as naive and rather clueless, which is at odds with her exceptionally high marks in school. Orihime is friendly, humorous in her own way, sensitive, and kind. Orihime has yellow-orange/brown eyes in colored pictures of the manga, but gray eyes in the anime. The only person who has been able to damage her head has been Yachiru Kusajishi in a comical moment when she is riding on Kenpachi Zaraki's shoulders. She also has an amazingly hard head, which has injured Uryū, Chad, and Ichigo. Her large breasts are occasionally made the subject of jokes in the series. She does not remove her hairpins, except to sleep (she is seen without them in episode 64 when she wakes up), as they are worn in memory of her brother, while her hair is worn long in honor of the promise Tatsuki Arisawa once made to protect her. Orihime Inoue has long orange-brown hair which she wears with the bangs behind her ears and hairpins.
