Username: Genki.
Age: 12
Character you are applying for: Honda Tohru.
How far are you in the manga and anime?: I've read scanlations up to Chap. 105 and summaries up to Chap. 126. Also, I've seen the entire anime.
How often will you be available to Roleplay?: Everyday.
How should this character be portrayed? What is he/she like?: It has been said that Tohru has always been "Tohru" from a very young age. Slightly clueless sometimes, but very determined, Tohru is a compassionate young girl. Surprisingly strong, as is shown in the era of Kyoko's depression. Even after the neglect, when Kyoko returned home she smiled sleepily at her mother, saying the words that Kyoko thought she'd never hear again: "Welcome Home!"
Very much like her father, both in appearance and mannerisms, she helps Katsuya's spirit live on in many ways. Also very polite and modest, she makes a very good first impression.
One thing you like about this character: What isn't to love?! She's adorable, but very strong. Her spirit is pure, and she radiated a sort of innocence. An innocence which she seems to have kept, even into her teenage years. Also very kind and humble, her modesty is a very endearing quality.
At least ten lines of sample RP:
A young girl sat quietly in a corner, a book open in her lap and her liquid brown orbs scanning the pages attentively. It had been a few days since her mother had purchased this book for her, but she'd barely put it down in those seventy-two hours. Young Honda Tohru felt tears pricking at the corners of her eyes, as the well known fable came to an end. "P... poor, Neko-san... the poor... poor Neko-san..." The young girl said softly, her small fingers tracing over the image of the sleeping cat on the last page. Sniffing profusely, she wiped the threatening tears away with the back of one hand.
Flipping back to the front, she fingered the individual images of each animal. "Nezumi-san... Ushi-san... Tora-san... Usagi-san... Tatsu-san... Hebi-san... Uma-san... Hitsuji-san... Saru-san... Tori-san... Inu-san... Inoshishi-san... and... Neko-san... demo, why did Kami-sama have to be so mean to poor Neko-san? Why couldn't she tell him about Nezumi-san's trick?" She whispered, a forlorn expression on her young face. Sniffing back another threat of tears, Tohru stood and padded across the hall into the room she and her mother used as a bedroom.
Opening the wardrobe, the young girl dug through the contents before withdrawing something small, and slightly tattered. It was a plushie, a cat to be exact, orange and fluffy, though it's fur was coming away in places. Hugging it to her chest, Tohru closed her large innocent eyes and let a content smile grace her fair features. "I wish... I could have been born in the Year of the Cat, Neko-san!" The young girl said in a soothing manner, rocking the stuffed animal in her arms as a mother might a newborn baby.
Suddenly, Tohru heard the front door open, remembering that Kyoko had made a quick trip to the store. Dashing out, cat still in hand, she smiled up at her mother.
"Welcome Home!"
My favourite character is Sohma Yuki.
