We'll start this off with teh main character of 'Fruits Basket'-- Tohru Honda! This is Tohru! A sweet, 16-year-old-orphan whom destiny causes her to meet with teh Sohma's-- and have a significant influence in their lives. Probably teh person who had teh most influence in her life was her mother. Tohru has a measure of guilt over teh fact that she never told her mother to "take care" before she left one morning. That same day, she would be killed in an accident. Tohru's life was never teh same after that. Her parents: Kyoko and Katsuya. Tohru's father died when she was young of an illness. He met Kyoko while she was in school. He was a teacher. They fell in wuv and Kyoko (who had been in a gang) wanted to change her life and settle down with Katsuya. They both loved Tohru very much. Tohru gets her mannerisms from her father. This is Tohru's "symbol." An onigiri. She's represented by an onigiri due to a game she used to play when she was in elementary school called... Fruits Basket! teh premise of hthe game is that you sit in a circle and you are given teh name of a fruit. If your fruit is called, you can get up outta teh chair. teh boys would call Tohru an onigiri as a way of teasing her. She would play along anyway, unaware she was being teased. More about tha Honda family can be found here: ume.silent-hope.net/honda.shtml

Now, onto Yuki! This is Yuki Sohma. teh most popular boy in school. His nickname throughout teh school is "Prince Yuki" given to him by his fan club. A nickname he doesn't in particularly like. Yuki is very withdrawn and standoffish. Mostly it's due to his curse, but also to how he grew up. He garnered much unwanted attention from Akito, teh head of teh family. He has a fairly high status within teh family due to teh fact he's teh rat and a favorite of teh God. This is Yuki's zodiac (Jyuunishi) form. He's very softspoken. He's very close to Tohru and has allowed himself to open up more due to her. He always calls her "Honda-san."

Now, Kyo! This is Kyo Sohma. He's not as popular in school as Yuki, but he's getting there. Kyo and Yuki do not get along at all. It has to due with teh fact they are teh Cat and Rat within teh Zodiac. They fight and argue almost everytime they see each other. More than anything, Kyo wants to be accepted within teh family and become an official member of teh Zodiac. This is Kyo's Zodiac form. However, Kyo carries within him a dark secret. Kyo has a tendancy to be very volatile and aggressive, however recently he's calmed down considerably. I wonder if it has anything to do with Tohru? Next up: teh Mabudachi Trio!

Next, we move onto teh one and only Mabudachi Trio! This is Hatori Sohma. He's teh family doctor. His practice consists of only family members, and on occasion, Tohru. You may not be able to notice, but he's partially blind in his left eye. Hatori is very serious and he seems quite stern, but he's actually very kind. He tried to warn Tohru of teh dangers of her association with teh family, if only to protect her from being hurt. He used to have a girlfriend, but something tragic happened and now he prefers to remain single. But, there may be someone out there yet for him... This is Hatori's Jyuunishi form. He's teh year of teh Dragon, but since Dragons don't actually exist, he transforms into a seahorse, which is also know as 'baby dragons.' He (as well as teh rest of teh Trio) is 27. He's also one of my personal favorite characters, which may or may not have something to do with teh fact that I'm a 'Dragon' myself... He's introduced in volume 2.

Now, onto Shigure! This is Shigure Sohma. He's a novelist by trade. Most of teh time he writes serious, intellectual novels, but he's been known to write smut under a pen name. He usually only wears kimonos in keeping with what he calls, "teh image of a novelist." He's quite fun loving and can be a bit of a prankster. He also has a bit of a "lolita-complex." However, he does have a bit of a hidden dark side. He lives in his own house outside teh main compound along with Yuki, Kyo and Tohru. This is his Jyuunishi form. He's teh dog of teh zodiac. Some say his personality is very dog like. We first see him in volume 1. He's actually teh first of teh Sohma's that Tohru meets.

Now, Ayame! This is Ayame Sohma. He owns a unique costume shop (named after himself of course). He's also Yuki's older brother. Yuki has a very distant relationship with Ayame. When they were younger, Yuki tried to reach out to Ayame, but Aya was too involved in his own life to bother with him. Now, Ayame realizes teh errors of his ways and is trying to re-establish contact with Yuki... with very mixed results. Of course, his personality isn't helping matters any. Ayame is very outgoing and flamboyant. He and Shigure often like to tease and flirt with each other simply to get reactions outta people. Needless to say, Hatori has his hands full when teh two of them get together. Hatori is also teh only person Ayame will listen too. This is Ayame's Jyuunishi form. He transforms into a snake. And not always when he hugs someone of teh opposite gender. Sometimes if it's very cold out, he transforms. It must be noted that Yuki and Ayame are teh only siblings within teh Jyunninshi, which in itself is very unusual. He's introduced in volume 4. I just wuv Ayame! He's so outgoing and funny! Everytime I see him, I get a chuckle. Next, teh ox, teh rabbit and teh boar!
