taki tooru

Age: 15 Birthday: May 15 Height: 160 cm Blood Type: O Tohru Taki is a female student at Natsume's school. She was first "discovered" by one of Natsume's friends, Nishimura, who had heard rumors of her beauty and became entranced. He still maintains an obvious crush on her, even though Natsume holds most of her attention. Taki is introduced into the story as a shy, silent girl. Later, it is revealed that this shyness stems from a curse placed on her by a yokai. The curse dictates that the last 13 names spoken by her will be consumed by the yokai at the end of a one-year period. Additionally, the yokai forces her into an impossible gamble for her life, which he does not honor even when she wins. Despite these challenges, Taki is generally a happy, extroverted, and optimistic girl. Her peculiar taste in cuteness is evident when she hugs Nyanko-sensei, calling him cute. Like Tanuma, she tries to help Natsume in any way she can but is often prevented from doing so because Natsume worries about their involvement with yokai. Although Taki herself has too little spirit energy to see yokai, she possesses the knowledge of drawing yokai circles, discovered by her grandfather. Once drawn, the circle grants any human within its radius the ability to see yokai. The circle does not require any spirit energy to create or activate, so anyone could draw it if they know how. However, due to its complex appearance, Taki is presumably the only one able to draw it without needing a guide.
