H-hello, I am Kisa Sohma. I was thinking of making a Fruits Basket role-play. When I get enough Kupi-points I will make
a club for this. If you would like a part, I will look at your profile and ask you 3 reasons why you would like to be
that character. Thank you, and now we shall go onto the role-play.
(NOTE: Girls can play boys, but boys CANNOT play girls.)

Tohru Honda - I am sorry but this is reserved. I have two people I will ask who want to play a part, thank you

An orphaned high school student, Tohru ends up living in the same house with Shigure, Yuki and Kyo Sohma. She loves to
cook, is an excellent housekeeper, and has an after school job as a custodian to help pay her tuition fees (since she
doesn't want to bother her grandfather or her "house mates"). She is always polite, and is extremely kind, loving, and
naive; in fact, the other characters, out of brotherly concern, usually have to tell her that she needs to look out for
her own interests. She wishes to understand the Sohma curse and break it if she can.

Kyo Sohma- 

Kyo is the cat, an animal not actually in the Zodiac, but which legend says would have been if it had not been tricked
by the rat into missing the induction feast. As part of a bet he made with Akito, Kyo is determined to beat Yuki (the
rat) before high school ends so that he may be officially accepted as part of the Zodiac, instead of locked away in a
dark room until he dies (the fate of all previous cats before him). After the alleged suicide of his mother, and
abandonment of his father, Kyo has used Yuki, his natural enemy, as a scapegoat for everything wrong with his life.
Despite many months of strict training, Kyo has never managed to even land a decent blow on Yuki. Instead, he
continually gets beaten by Yuki in fights, often started by himself. Kyo runs away even from the people that want to
help him, because he is ashamed of his true form, that of a hideous monster, which he turns into when his miko bone
bracelet is removed. When Tohru sees his true form, however, she still accepts him and begs him to stay with her, which
forms a strong bond between the two. Even before this, however he had a special relationship with Tohru, for her
favorite animal from the Zodiac story, is the cat. Kyo wants to be appreciated, accepted and special like Yuki. As the
series progresses, he learns to get along with Yuki for Tohru's sake.

Yuki Sohma- MuffinBake/Futomakisushi

Yuki is the rat of the zodiac. Known as "Prince Charming" or "Prince Yuki" at school, Yuki is very attractive and
refined, but has a hard time being social. He wishes that he could be with people as friends, rather than admired and
worshiped from afar, no thanks to his infamous PYFC (Prince Yuki Fan Club). Yuki has suffered a traumatic childhood at
the hands of Akito, who ritually locked him away mentally tortured him. Because of this, Yuki has a somewhat low sense
of worth and is claustrophobic. He is secretly jealous of Kyo because he thinks Kyo can have a normal life and
relationships with people, not being officially part of the Zodiac, which is something Yuki has always wanted. He has a
shaky relationship with his older, Ayame (the snake), because he feels he was abandoned by him as a child, and that now
Ayame is too carefree and obnoxious to be bothered with. He feels some attraction to Tohru, who sees genuine worth in
him, gives him advice, and lifts his spirits with her lighthearted manner.

Shigure Sohma- x_WednesdayADDAMS 

Dog of the zodiac and the owner of the house where he, Tohru, Yuki and Kyo live. Shigure is extremely lazy and
perverted, and, when Ayame visits, (the snake of the Zodiac) they enjoy greeting each other like lovers. He is a writer
who writes both academic books and trashy romance novels under many pen names. His most common and celebrated is
"Karitani Noa" from his erotic "Summer-Colored Sky" novel. He loves to drive his editor, whom he affectionately calls
"Mit-chan", to tears by feigning the non-completion of his work, sleeping in late, and smoking cigarettes. Shigure is
also very caring and admits to being the "dirtiest of all" because he is willing to use or sacrifice anyone to get what
he wants. In the manga it has been revealed that Shigure has deep feelings for Akito, but was upset that Akito chose
Kureno instead of him.

Kagura Sohma- NeonStars

Kagura is the boar of the zodiac. She has been in love with Kyo since they were young, although she doesn't know that
Kyo is in love with her friend, Tohru Honda. Because of her "pity" of him as a child, when he was all alone because he
carried the curse of the cat, she played with and took care of him. Eventually, it developed into a near-obsessive love
for him. She is convinced she will marry him, mainly because she threatened him into proposing to her, at age 7 (with
knives in the manga, or a boulder in the anime to a 5-year old Kyo), and partly because she thinks that they belong
together because they can hug each other without transforming into their zodiac form. Despite this love, she often
loses her head and beats him senseless when he does something to anger her or make her anxious. As one of the only
three female members of the zodiac, she is able to hug any of the male members and neither she nor they transform. She
lives with her mother, who is perfectly okay with Kagura's double-edged personality, and Rin. Kagura seemingly is the
only female member of the zodiac that has not been personally hurt by Akito

Kisa Sohma- Kisa_Sohma

Kisa is the tiger of the zodiac. She is very shy, cute, and withdrawn, largely because her classmates harass and
ostracize her due to her naturally orange hair, a side effect of her curse of the tiger. In Japanese society, non-black
hair is considered "disrespectful" or "unnatural" and being made fun of for this reason is really quite normal. Tohru
helps her to come out of her shell, and she develops quite an attachment to Tohru, calling her "big sister", or
"oneechan". She loves omelets and dislikes dry foods and loves an anime series called "Mogeta". Usually seen around
Hiro or Momiji. Her mother is extremely protective of her and worries about her often

Hiro Sohma-

Hiro, the sheep of the zodiac, is a very intelligent but verbally aggressive and smart-mouthed sophist. He is in love
with Kisa, and resents Tohru because she unwittingly monopolizes Kisa's time and attention. He starts out hostile to
Tohru, but eventually eases his initial attitude through a combination of grudging admiration for Tohru and Kisa
telling him to let up. He is sarcastic and pessimistic. In the manga, Hiro's annoyance with Tohru might result from her
resemblance to his pregnant mother in her forgetfulness and childlike happy personality. In Chapter 118, he is also seen
being freed from the curse.

Hatori Sohma- StarDust ((emo seahorse! xD))

"Haa-san" The dragon of the Zodiac and the private doctor to the Sohma clan, Hatori is serious, and often without a
sense of humour. It is his job to erase the memories of those who discover the Sohma clan secret, though it is not
entirely clear if this is simply a form of hypnosis, or more of a supernatural power. When his curse activates, he
turns into a seahorse rather than an actual dragon, because the Chinese consider the seahorse to be baby dragons and
the actual name in Japanese translates to it. He is very self-conscious about his transformation in the fact that he is
the "great and powerful dragon" but appears as a "seahorse". He has had a bad experience in love with his "Spring", a
woman named Kana who was the assistant in his doctor's office. The relationship ended when Hatori asked Akito to give
him permission to marry Kana. In responce, Akito threw a near by vase at Hatori and left him almost blind in his left
eye. Kana felt so guilty about the incident and blamed herself so completely that she was driven insane with
depression. Hatori was forced to erase her memory to ease her suffering. Like Shigure and Ayame, he is very tall, and
he is really a nice guy upon deeper inspection. It is unsure whether he is dating Tohru's teacher and Kana's best
friend, Mayuko Shiraki.

Ayame Sohma-

"Ayaa-chan"The snake of the zodiac, and big brother to Yuki, Ayame is vivacious, garrulous, and has a knack for making
Yuki and Kyo angry. He runs a business that makes women's clothing, which men apparently wear as well, and he often
wears women's clothing himself. He named his shop after himself and runs it with Mine, who is later revealed to be
Ayame's girlfriend and the seamstress of the store. Ayame designs the dresses, erotic as some or all of them may be.
Vain and somewhat self-conscious, he is really a thoughtful person underneath his "selective" skin. He has gorgeous
green eyes (gold in the anime) and silver hair in a startling contrast to Yuki's violet and grey. His fear,
coincidentally, is a fear of being totally alone. Much to Yuki's chagrin and surprise, he was actually the student body
president in high school. When Ayame was young, he did not care for Yuki at all until he realized that when he got
older, he would be totally alone without Yuki, spurring his new obsession to gaining Yuki's love shown in the series.
Yuki has slowly started to accept Ayame as a brother.

Hatsuharu Sohma- Hatsuharu_Sohma

The ox of the Zodiac, Haru has something of a Yin and Yang personality related to the Ox's personality. He is usually
calm, placid, and otherwise an all-around nice guy, but can be goaded into "stampeding", where he's edgy and mean and
slightly oversexed. White Haru is conscience during his "black" transformation, but is unable to do anything about it.
He just either apologizes or doesn't care. Additionally, Haru has a rather bad sense of direction; he had become lost
for three days in another town after trying to find Kyo so he could challenge him. He likes to make fun of Kyo
passively and wants to fight with him on a regular basis. He is also in love with Rin Sohma and once is having a
relationship with her.

Momiji Sohma-

A cute and seemingly happy teenager with a sad family life that he hides behind his cheery demeanor. His endless
whining and crying often annoys Kyo. He is older than he looks, much to Tohru's surprise. Momiji is the rabbit of the
Zodiac and is the son of one of the richer members of the Sohma family. His father is Japanese while Momiji's mother is
German. 　(She speaks German in the original. She cannot speak German in the anime.) Tohru unwittingly cleans
Momiji's father's building for her job. He has a younger sister, Momo. Momo is unaware of the fact that she has an
older brother. Her mom's memory of Momiji was erased because otherwise she might slip into utter madness. Momiji is
actually very insightful and emotionally strong despite his upbringing. He took to Tohru very quickly, even ignoring
the fact that he was a Zodiac and hugged her when they were formally introduced. Much to Kyo's horror, Momiji likes to
wear the girl's version of their high school uniform, albeit with short shorts and not a skirt. It is revealed at the
end of chapter 115 in the manga that Momiji's curse has been lifted but as of yet, it is unknown how or why. Momiji
sometimes sees Tohru at work, he sometimes helps her clean her share too. He even did Tohru's share once when she was
sick with a cold. Momiji also develops feelings for Tohru.

Ritsu Sohma-

The monkey of the zodiac, "Rit-chan" has very, very low self-esteem and is often seen apologizing for everything. He
takes after his mother, the hostess of a hot spring that the Sohmas own. He dresses like a woman because he feels less
pressure from society, and is often mistaken as a woman because of his long hair and unusually convincing beauty for a
man. Ritsu often blames things on himself that have nothing to do with him, and occasionally becomes suicidal. In
addition to this, he has an even odder quirk of having some sort of "special" spot on his side that, when pressed,
makes him keel over and faint. Shigure likes to play with his odd personality and mess with Ritsu's insecurities on a
regular basis. Most Sohmas call him "Rit-chan" and to Shigure's amusement, Tohru calls him "Rit-chan-san" because in
the third book tankoubon Momiji referred to Ritsu as "Rit-chan-san". Apparently, the nickname stuck. Interestingly
enough, in the manga, when Ritsu shows up, we see that he may develop a romantic relationship with Shigure's editor
Mii-chan.

Isuzu "Rin" Sohma- Bootheghost

Isuzu is the horse of the Chinese Zodiac (Jyuunishi). She is often called Rin by a few members of the family because
'suzu' translates to "small bell" in Japanese, and 'Rin' is the sound a small bell makes. Apparently, she and Hatsuharu
used to have a close sexual relationship together, until Akito found out about it and injured Rin severely by pushing
her out of a window, causing her to be admitted to the hospital for some time. Hatsuharu visited her while she was in
the hospital, but Rin broke up with Hatsuharu, not giving a reason why, though it is later known that she didn't want
him to be hurt by Akito if they continued the relationship. Rin and Hatsuharu end up getting back together later on in
the story. Rin's character is cold and angst-ridden. She thinks of Tohru Honda as an annoyance to the Sohmas, but
eventually warms up to her little by little because of the kindness Tohru gives in return. She grows as protective to
Tohru as the others and quickly becomes angry when someone upsets Tohru. She only appears in the manga. Famous for her
tough and independent nature and darkly exquisite sexiness within the Sohma family. Also, she is known for a trait of
her zodiac animal: sheer stubbornness and independence. Anyone who usually tries to go against those feelings usually
get a taste of Rin's stilletto-heel boots. Since she missed school Tohru seems to be her first friend. Unfortunately
she doesn't know how to respond to that.

Kureno Sohma-

The rooster of the Jyuunishi. He does not like others to see his animal form, which looks more like a swallow than a
rooster. He has somehow lost the curse of the Jyuunishi. He was Akito's constant companion after Yuki. Akito likes to
keep him away from the other members of the Zodiac, and Kureno is actually the only person Akito somehow trusts. When
he went to a convenience store, for the first time at the age of 26, he met Arisa. She developed a crush on him, but he
stays away from her because he feels it is better if he does not love her back. At one time though in vol.17 Arisa hints
out that she wants to see Kureno as she screamed for him to see her again during the Cinderella play in vol.15. When
Kureno saw the DVD of it and saw Arisa as she screamed this he touched the screen of his computer as a sign of
affection to Arisa as he also wants to see her too but cannot due to the fact that he has pledged loyalty forever to
Akito. He only appears in the manga. Was described by Arisa as a "male-version of Tohru" with his over-the-top
politeness and scatterbrained idiosyncrasies. Kureno seems to be described as "broken-in" by some members of the Sohma
family. In Chapter 127, he no longer thinks that Akito needs him, and instead reconsiders his feelings for Arisa.

Akito Sohma-

Akito is the head of the Sohma clan and very frail. She (revealed that Akito is in fact, a woman in the manga, but in
the anime Akito is a male) often runs fevers and rarely walks out of the main house other than to greet some of the
Zodiac members, such as Yuki and Shigure, that live in the outside world. Akito has a definite mean streak, and has
physically and emotionally scarred many members of the Sohma family, but Akito's rule in the Sohma clan is absolute,
and none dare oppose her. While Akito isn't cursed by any of the vengeful spirits (mononoke) of the Zodiac, she has
been revealed (in volume 11) to be the one fulfilling the role of the Jade Emperor, a character borrowed from the
stories about the origins of the Chinese Zodiac. A possible part of Akito's curse was that she would only live to be 30
years old; however, this was only in the anime, and isn't manga canon. At a certain point in the Zodiac's lives, Akito
wishes to force them to live within the Sohma compound with her for the rest of their lives in a never-ending
"banquet." She even describes herself as the "master of their (the Zodiac's) souls". She hates Tohru most of all, since
everyone seems to love and protect her. In the end of the manga she eventually makes peace with the Sohmas and becomes
friends with Tohru.

Arisa Uotani-

Arisa is a former gang member (a "yankee"; a Japanese version of the American "thug" image) and has been one of Tohru's
closest friends since Tohru's mother helped her escape from the gang (called "The Ladies") when she wanted to leave it.
Arisa is tough, brash, and sometimes violent but cries easily when it comes to her friends. She wears long skirts,
carries a lead pipe, and often speaks like a man (in Japanese, different word choices can categorize a speaker as male
or female). Arisa likes to play cards, protect Tohru from Yuki's fangirls, and swim. Her "convoluted" personality stems
from home problems early in her life, when her mother left Arisa and her father for another man; her father became an
alcoholic after his rejection. This caused Arisa to become harsh and jaded in her views of the world until she met the
kind Tohru and her mother, Kyoko. With her overprotective and rather "parental" protection of Tohru with Hana-chan, she
comes off as the brash and direct "father" figure. In Chapter 127, she tells Kureno that she has been waiting for him
all this time and needs him

Saki Hanajima- MewMewPuppy

Saki is a psychic girl with a goth-like appearance who has the ability to sense people's "auras" and send out electric
waves (denpa in Japanese). Much like Arisa, Saki is extremely protective of Tohru, who was the first person in school
who had truly accepted her. She is very observant, polite, and loves to eat (and is rarely seen not eating outside of
school). Her nickname (Hana-chan) and her manga symbol, a violet with fangs, relate humorously in that hana means
"flower" in Japanese. Hanajima has a close relationship to her family who accept and even nurture her gifts (her
younger brother, Megumi, looks up to Hanajima, has his own special ability so that she wouldn't be the only "weird" one
in the family). Her mother seems to resemble Tohru's protective and caring nature (maybe explaining her attachment to
Tohru). In the near "parental" protection she and Arisa give Tohru, she acts as the protective "motherly" figure. When
Kazuma comes in for Kyo's parent/teacher conference, Hana notes that he is "handsome". Kyo is not too keen on the idea
of Saki as his "mother".



Have fun~!
