Thinking she would be a burden on her friends, she pitched a tent. She kept what little belongings she had stowed away in the tiny tent. She manages to stay there for a little while before the Sohma's offer to take her in.
The family took her in just in time as if she would have stayed in her tent one night longer, and a mudslide would have likely killed her. When Tohru meets Shigure Sohma, the two have a fast friendship. They are comfortable speaking with each other right away. Tohru reveals she was born in the year of the dog. Shigure tells her that explains why he already feels a fondness towards her. Tohru is mostly seen wearing her school uniform. She also wears dresses and skirts frequently.
She has a surprising amount of outfit changes for an anime character. However, the one constant in her outfits is her signature ribbon bows. She usually wears two of them, one on either side that tie her hair away from her face. When the Sohma's go to a bathhouse spa retreat, Yuki asks her to accompany him outside. He reveals he has bought her a gift and presents to her an intricate silky blue ribbon.
Something that goes hand in hand with Tohru being air-headed is her naivety to her surroundings. She is so good-natured that she doesn't realize when people are malicious. On one occasion, some boys are speaking about wanting to get to know her better and being creepy towards her. Luckily, Kyo is there to scare them away for her. One of the more surprising facts that sprung up in the series was Tohru's grandfather willing to allow his grandaughter to move in with some strange men he didn't know.
At the time, Tohru is only sixteen. Most parents would never let their child do that. Several other characters, including her friends Kyo, Rin, and Hanajima tell her she needs to look out for her own interests and not shoulder everyone else's burdens. At the start of the series, she is living in a tent rather than staying with her friends, Arisa Uotani and Saki Hanajima, to avoid being a burden to them and she has an after-school job as an office janitor to pay her tuition fees so that her grandfather does not have to.
Yuki once describes her as not the sort who sees her life as a "glass half-empty. Tohru describes herself as an excellent artist who loves cooking and cleaning. In the original Japanese, Tohru habitually speaks formally, but not always correctly. She picked up this habit from her dead father, Katsuya, after he died when she was three, as a way of replacing him in her mother's eyes and from her father's family's statements that she was probably the daughter of a man her mother had an affair with.
Tohru tends to be especially concerned for people with minor illnesses. This comes from the circumstances of her father's death, when Katsuya was originally diagnosed with a fever but eventually died of pneumonia.
She was raised by her mother, Kyoko, until she died in a car accident shortly after Tohru entered high school, a few months before the series starts. Tohru treasures her mother's photograph and vowed at her death to keep Kyoko the most important person in her life.
Tohru is distressed whenever she feels she is being "unfaithful" to her mother, for example, when she gets failing marks on end-of-term exams, thus endangering her promise to graduate high school or when she falls in love with Kyo. Tohru eventually realizes that her vow is an attempt to cling to the past, and that Kyoko would have wanted her to move on and fall in love with someone else.
She moves into the house with Shigure Sohma , Yuki Sohma , and later Kyo Sohma after Yuki and Shigure discovered her living in a tent on their property. She is also very protective of her friends and family, and has no trouble standing up for them despite her fears.
Despite her clumsy and air-headed personality, Tohru is emotionally intelligent and insightful when it comes to people's feelings, and shows glimpses of wisdom from time to time.
According to Yuki Sohma, Tohru is a nurturing girl who is willing to give everything she can without expecting anything in return. Because of this, Yuki, as well as Isuzu Sohma to a certain degree, sees a mother figure in her, while Kisa Sohma views her as an older sister figure. However, Tohru's self-sacrificing kindness and tendency to put other's needs before her own has caused her to neglect herself to the point of misery, and she obsessively sidelines her own needs and problems; partly because she wants to take care of her friends, but really because she can't face her own trauma.
Behind her cheerful personality, she has serious self-esteem issues and a tendency to hide her true feelings of worry, fear, and hurt and instead project her usual cheerful exterior to give emotional support to the people around her and to not make them think lesser of her.
She is also incredibly fragile and constantly lives in fear of losing anyone since she has lost so many people close to her already.
Most notably, Tohru has an unhealthy inability to move on from her mother's death; she almost never talks about Kyoko in the past tense, promises herself to always put her first in her heart, and her over-attachment to photos of her; such as treating it as though it really is her, shows that she's still unable to cope with her death. Tohru's most notable quirk is how she always speaks very politely, which she proudly admits she inherited from her father. She uses polite language incorrectly, to people she's close to, or even in situations where it is unnecessary.
However, it is later revealed that Tohru only mimicked her father's, Katsuya, speech patterns and personality traits to remind Kyoko of him after Kyoko's psychological breakdown in the hopes it would keep her mother from leaving her, and due to her father's family's statements that she was probably the daughter of a man her mother had an affair with. She also has a deep-rooted fear of being abandoned because it reminds her of the time Kyoko left her alone in the house to attempt suicide after Katsuya died.
As the series goes on, Tohru grows more confident to tell people what is on her mind, and at one point she even shows all of her "bad" traits to Kyo, such as confessing that she has secretly resented her father for almost "taking" her mother away from her. She becomes embittered towards the circumstances of the curse and even stubbornly argues with Rin that she won't stop before she succeeds.
When she gets in a fight with Kagura Sohma, she refuses to apologize and doesn't expect an apology from her either. Tohru later reveals that she doesn't want to free just anyone from the Curse, but Kyo specifically, since he had become the most important person to her. Although she feels guilty about it because she fears she's demeaning her mother's memory by placing a new person in her heart, Tohru learns to live her life while still having a special place for her mother in her heart.
Although she can be selfish in wanting to pursue Kyo, she is selfless in wishing him happiness, even if it's without her. Upon breaking the curse, Tohru remains the stubborn and confident girl she had become, yet the similarly kind-hearted, optimistic, and cheerful girl she always has been.
