Name: Tohru Honda age:16 Gender:Female Orientation: Straight Height: 5"6 Weight: 100 Appearance: Tohru has very long brown hair with large blue eyes. Birthday: Oct 11, 1991 Personality: Tohru has had a pretty rough life, but doesn't show it around people. She loves to help people. She first meets Yuki Sohma and Shigure Sohma when she stops to look at some rocks outside a house that have the Chinese Zodiac animals, but the cat was not among them.
Shigure comes out to see her looking at them. Yuki comes out after a bit. Shortly after meeting Tohru, Yuki and Shigure discover that Tohru has been living in a tent on their property, and so they ask her to stay with them at their house. She agrees and moves in and starts get to know them and the other Sohma's more and more over time.
Tohru Honda is a hopelessly optimistic school girl whose goal in life is to fulfill her mother's dream of finishing high school. She lives with Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure Souma of the elusive cursed Souma clan. She struggles to keep the Souma curse a secret, and to please the other family members. Family: Kyoko Honda (mother) Katsuya Honda (father) Pros: Tohru Loves to help people. She helps where ever she can Cons: Background: Tohru lives in a tent because her parents, Kyoko Honda and Katsuya Honda, have died and her grandfather's house is being remodeled. Her grandfather asks her to stay with a friend during the remodeling, but Tohru chooses to live in a tent because she realizes her request would be a burden for her best friends (Arisa Uotani) and (Saki Hanajima). Despite the uncomfortable conditions, Tohru remains optimistic, affectionately calling her tent 'my castle'. While leaving her tent to explore the area, she comes across Shigure Sohma's house and stops to look at his Zodiac animal decorations. Tohru later discovers that she had been camping on land owned by the Sohma family. After a landslide that destroys her tent, she begins living in the Sohma household, where she cooks and cleans in return for shelter. Over time, Tohru's relationship with the Sohmas becomes much more complex.
It is also revealed that several of Tohru's quirks (like her speech) originate from an imitation of her father's character, or at least what she can recall from what Kyoko and her grandfather had told her about Katsuya. This behaviour seems to stem from the fact that Tohru looked much like Kyoko and almost nothing like Katsuya. Some relatives actually wondered if Tohru really was Katsuya's daughter, and at one point Tohru overheard them discussing this; since then, she decided to imitate her dad's quirks as much as she could, to prove herself as a member of the Honda family.
Another one of her quirks, her tendency to be concerned for people with diseases, comes from the situation surrounding her father's death. Katsuya was originally diagnosed with a fever; however, he did not recover and eventually died of pneumonia.
misc. (misc. info on the character) does this character know about the curse? (yes or no...if yes..explain)
