A girl who is caring, hilarious, sweet, and beautiful. She has gorgeous hair, but she seems to always have her hair up. This is because she feels like her hair will cover her up, and she wants to stand out of the crowd. She is very independent, but she secretly wants a prince to sweep her off her feet. An Inique is so outgoing, but she is SOO shy around "THE" boy. She is always patient when it comes to her friends, and she'll never get into a fight with any one of her friends. She is more caring than you can imagine, and if you have her as a girlfriend/friend don't ever let her go, because an Inique is truly one of a kind. She is always looking out for others, and is the most selfless person you'll EVER meet! She tends to be kind of sad and lonely, because most of the time she feels as if she has no one, but in reality she has a whole bunch of friends who truly care for her. There is no one as kind, hilarious, and beautiful as an Inique. Urban Dictionary
