Character Name: Tohru Honda Canon: Fruits Basket Canon Point: Anime Canon, post series Background/History: Here is the wiki. Previous Game History: N/A Personality:
Tohru Honda is pretty much guaranteed to be one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. She's polite, caring, and considerate. If someone needs help, even if they're a total stranger, she'll do her best to lend them a hand. And if they're a friend, then Tohru is the type to go above and beyond the call of duty. And she won't even spare a thought for her own inconvenience. When Valentine's day came, she spent so much money on chocolates for her friends, that she didn't have enough left over for school expenses, and had to work extra hours to make up the difference. And when Kagura was repairing the damage that she had done to the house, Tohru had no problem staying up all night to help her finish. She even made sure to bring Kagura something to eat.
Tohru is also very sympathetic to others and tries hard to be emotionally supportive. She tries to see every conflict from every point of view, even deciding that the girls that pick on her at school can't be that bad because they also like Yuki. She barely knows Hatori when she's sitting on his porch and shedding tears for his tragic lost love. She manages to see the conflict between Yuki and Kyo in a way that neither of them could, and tries to explain it to Kyo using an extended riceball metaphor. Which doesn't completely work, but it's the thought that counts. She's even willing to give Akito a chance, despite knowing about many of the horrible things he's done.
But when it comes to her own problems, emotional or otherwise, Tohru usually keeps silent. She really hates to be a burden on anyone she knows. Even the thought that she might have troubled someone bothers her a lot. When her Grandfather's house needed remodeling, instead of asking her friends or admitting she had nowhere to stay, she began secretly living in a tent in the woods. When people offer her help, her first reaction is usually to apologize and insist that she'll be fine. If they persist, she'll accept their help, and will be extremely grateful. Even if it's something simple, like helping her study for a test. She also has a hard time accepting gifts, worrying that if she asks for too much, heaven will punish her. When Uo suggests that Tohru ask Shigure to buy her a few more pieces of furniture, she nearly panics, saying that he has done more than enough for her already. And she absolutely refuses to allow Shigure or her Grandfather to pay for any of her school fees.
But the Sohma's are persistent, and keep taking her on trips and giving her things that would seem like small gestures to most people, a ribbon, a trip to an onsen, etc. But to Tohru these things are so extravagant that they make her feel like a princess. Also generally modest, Tohru is quick to turn down a complement. Although she is equally eager to give them out to other people. It really doesn't take much to impress her. Everything from Shigure's silly romance manga to Kyo's riceball making technique is held in nothing short of awe.
In addition, Tohru is not very smart and extremely naive. She'll believe almost anything, even accepting some of Shigure's outrageous lies without question. She also seems fairly innocent, not quite understanding things such as what Haru could show the class president to prove his natural hair color. While they were alone. In the bathroom. (Yeah, he just dropped his pants.) And she tends to do poorly in school grade-wise, despite always trying very hard. School is very important to Tohru though, because her mother had always wanted her to finish high school, and she would do anything to keep this promise with her mother. Speaking of her mother, Tohru was very close to her and still carries her picture everywhere she goes. She can often be seen talking to it, believing that her mother can hear her in heaven.
In short, Tohru is the type to always put herself before others. She is kind, gentle, and understanding. As a result of this, she often makes friends very easily, even with rather difficult people. And, despite not being the brightest crayon in the box, she is actually very wise. Often her advice will turn out to be just what someone needed to hear.
Abilities/Powers: Haha none. Tohru is about as normal as they come. She's not all that smart, and physically she's kind of clumsy. She does have impressive domestic skills though, being good at cooking, cleaning, and mending clothes. Perhaps that will be of some use...?
Sample Entry: Here is an old thread from when I played her in Mayfield.
Sample Entry Two:
"Oh! There's one!"
Tohru reached into the back of the cupboard she'd been rummaging through and emerged with a large metal pot. She stood and carefully set in on the counter, peering at it thoughtfully.
"Well, it is a little dirty. But once I clean it up it should work just fine!"
Determined, she set to work scrubbing out the pot with water she'd drawn from the well. On the counter next to her was a small assortment of canned food and non perishables. She'd spent hours scrounging around for it all, and was pretty proud of her efforts. Placing the pot next to her improvised ingredients, she looked them over, her brows knitting thoughtfully.
"I just hope it's enough for everyone....."
Tohru had met a lot of really nice people since her arrival in this town. So many of them had been so kind and helped her out a lot that she felt like she had to find some way to repay them. It wasn't much, but perhaps a home cooked meal would be a start. Of course, looking at the strange assortment of ingredients in front of her, she wasn't entirely sure if the soup she planned would be any good.

"Let's see.... Tomato paste, peas, corn, beans, mushrooms....."
She reached for a small box behind the cans.
"And these dried noodles... Yeah, this should be enough. As long as I do my best, I'm sure it'll taste fine. All I need now is some more water!"
Smiling, she grabbed the bucket and headed back toward the well.
