Tomie delights in the impact her beauty has on men, often attempting to seduce them without any emotional connection. Once a man no longer serves her immediate purpose, she discards him, a pattern that has led to her numerous deaths. She becomes jealous when other women receive attention and will work to break up established couples if given the chance. Extremely self-centered, Tomie thinks nothing of manipulating others for her own pleasure.
Little is known about Tomie's true background, not even her family name. It remains unclear how she acquired her powers or whether she was aware of them before 1986. Witnesses say she aged normally until then, appearing as a typical yet very pretty and flirtatious girl. During a field trip to Inariyawa, a small mountain near her school, Tomie pressured a teacher she had been having sex with to leave his wife and marry her. A male classmate who had become obsessed with Tomie confronted her. She taunted the boy, and during the ensuing scuffle, Tomie fell over a cliff. Believing her dead, the teacher decided to cover up the accident by chopping up her body with the help of some boys from the class. However, it turned out she wasn't quite dead, making this a particularly gruesome task. The class then scattered her body parts where they hoped they wouldn't be found.
Some parts were discovered, identified as Tomie's, and cremated. Her death was blamed on a psychopath, and a funeral was held. It was shocking when Tomie walked into class the next day as if nothing had happened. Her reappearance drove the more vulnerable members of the class to madness, and when two students tried to go to the police, the others became violent to stop them. Tomie disappeared shortly thereafter.
Tomie then began appearing in various locations across Japan, inspiring men to passion and murder. She apparently died several more times but always reappeared alive. Due to the police's stubborn refusal to believe these stories, no concerted effort was made to capture Tomie at least until 1995.
