* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: In the manga.

* [[Dojikko]]

* [[Easily Forgiven]]: Tohru does not hold grudges against anyone.

* [[Face Fault]]: Truly, out of ALL the characters, she makes the MOST face faults out of ANYONE. Makes sense though, being the normal person among a family of people who can transform into talking animals.

=== Kyo Sohma (The Cat) ===

* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Has them during some comedic moments

* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Goes barefoot at nearly every possible moment, even during a footrace!

* [[Dude, She's Like, in A Coma]]: {{spoiler|Near the end of the manga, Tohru falls off a cliff. While she's lying on the ground unconscious, Kyo kisses her. To be fair, Tohru regained consciousness for a bit when she noticed Kyo was crying. She said some comforting words to him, then lost consciousness again, and ''then'' he kissed her. He also wasn't exactly sure whether she was fully conscious or not, as he even confirms that she wasn't after their second kiss when she acts completely shocked that it's their second and not their first.}}

* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Usually shouting, or breaking something.

* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: It's ''incredibly'' easy to set him off, even without the above [[Berserk Button]].

* [[Hellish Pupils]]

* [[Instant Bandages]]

* [[Involuntary Shapeshifting]]: Aside from the 'cat if hugged' thing, he has a second one. Those beads? They {{spoiler|keep him from transforming into a monstrous, car-sized, stinking monstrosity}}.

* [[Creepy Child]]: {{spoiler|As a kid, she's seen painting her room black and claiming she hates everyone, after she snaps as a product of Ren's psychological abuse.}}

* [[Does Not Like Men]]: Inverted; Akito hates women. {{spoiler|Despite being one in the manga.}} Or, more than hating ''women'' as a whole, Akito hates those who try taking the Sohmas away (even if they're Sohmas themselves), {{spoiler|due to Ren's abuse}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Everyone not in the know (except Uotani) reacts like this to [[The Reveal]] about Akito's gender. And then, of course, there was [[Fan Dumb|the fanbase's]] [[Internet Backdraft|reaction]]...}}

* [[Easily Forgiven]]: {{spoiler|The Sohma come to forgive, while Rin doesn't, and hates herself for it. This is due to the fact that they were so over her by that point (especially with the power of Tohru's healing personality), that they didn't even hold a grudge against her (except Rin).}}

* {{spoiler|[[Freudian Excuse]]: ...Except it really isn't an ''excuse''. More like a "[[Trauma Conga Line|List of Grievances]]".}}

* [[Flower Motifs]]: Associated with red camellias, which are a symbol of love in the language of flowers. {{spoiler|This is also the kind of flower Shigure gave her when she was little and he confessed his love.}}

* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Toward {{spoiler|Kana}}.

* [[Not So Above It All]]: Has a few of moments of not being completely mature and poised. He tricked Yuki and Kyo into taking a photo of them seemingly smiling together only to playfully give the camera to Tohru by putting on her head. He gave Shigure more injections than necessary because the latter was being annoying. He also threatened to tell Shigure's colleagues every embarrassing story he knew about him since he was four if he told Tohru the secret of his zodiac form.

* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: Dresses like that sometimes.

 

----

* [[Evil Matriarch]]: Ooooh, boy...

* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: Ren originally worked as a maid in the Sohma state, then she was the first person who took care of [[Ill Boy]] [[Lonely Rich Kid|Akira]] and reached out to him. {{spoiler|Her [[Face Heel Turn]] came when she got pregnant and became obsessed with the idea that Akira would care more for their then-unborn child than for her... and you know what came next.}}

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity|Obfuscating Genkiness]]: She's a lot more aware of Hiro's emotional sore spots than he realizes.
