What Makes Her A Shojo Heroine?[]
- Heroic/Honorable: She was the one to lift the curse on the Sohma Family that they had all been bound to for so long.
- Kind/Gentle: She was able to get along with each member of the Sohma Family no matter how rude or selfish they may have appeared to be at first-glance with her kindness and nurturing personality.
- Bubbly: A cheerful young girl who sees the good in everything.
- Compassionate: She forgave Akito Sohma for her abusive treatment of the rest of the family and influenced her to change her ways for the better.
- Clumsy: She's so clumsy that Uotani states a man at her work reminded her of Tohru because he was similarly clumsy.
- Naive/Absent-Minded: She's incredibly idealistic and overly-trusting to the point of being rather gullible.
- Has a Crush on Someone: While she attracts the attention of multiple characters throughout the series, she eventually falls for Kyo and even marries him.
- Optimistic: As she says herself, "Sometimes living can be hard! But it’s only because we’re alive that we can make each other laugh, cry, and be happy!"
- Believes in the Power of Friendship/Love: Her love for everyone and willingness to form friendships and bonds with others is what allowed Kyo to learn to control his temper and become nicer and more compassionate towards others and Akito to redeem herself and become a benevolent head of the Sohma Family.
- Pigtails/Long Hair: Her hair reaches her waist.
