The official Twitter account for Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon has done is fair share of breaking down the new characters coming in the sequel as it gave us our first look at the character designs newly created by original creator Takahashi, who is returning for the sequel anime to provide these new designs.
The first is Towa, who is one of Sesshomaru’s Half-Demon daughters that will be taking a main role in the sequel’s story:

The final new character is Moroha, who is confirmed to be Inuyasha and Kagome’s daughter. It’s clear by her design that she definitely takes after the duo:
