Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Tohru Honda" in English language version.
Tohru is in an agony of doubt, denial and self-recrimination after realizing she may care more about Kyo than her deceased mother, throwing the carefully maintained order of her emotional world into chaos.
However, it is perhaps telling that, even in the midst of Kakeru's big chapter, it's the sight of Tohru's gentle, sad smile that steals your heart.
Tohru's attempts to reconcile her current feelings and goals with the trauma that forged her personality
Nothing evokes the passage of time like watching Tohru coming more and more to resemble her mother
Tohru is the essence of cheerfulness and faces hardships with a positive attitude while being extremely compassionate to everyone around her.
There are times where she sacrifices herself too much to make others happy, eventually causing her stress and more work.
She is the glue that helps keep everyone together and the reason why Kyo and Yuki do things they consider out of character.
Saddened by the Sohma secrets that prevent Momo from knowing her brother and keep Arisa and Kureno apart, Tohru becomes disheartened and questions her ability to break the curse.
Takaya is really showing Tohru's baggage and weaknesses now. That, I think, makes Tohru more appealing and easier to relate to than if she really were as completely carefree and optimistic as she initially appears.
This works well for Shigure. He likes to see his plan is working and even if it does not appear to be done with malice, he feels that he is taking advantage of Tohru.
[E]very time I see Tohru, I can't help not smiling. Her spirit is really infectious and she's cheerful in a way that's not grating on your nerves.
For all her optimism, she does understand that not all wishes can come true.
Tohru's warm, caring personality helps Yuki and Kyo develop self-confidence. This encourages other young members of the Sohma clan to abandon their traditional seclusion, which Tohru feels is a positive step.
Tohru is almost too nice, but just when her sweetness starts to seem unreal, she shows some real backbone. In an early scene, she clenches her fists and declares, "You make your own luck. It's all in how you think about things." Determined to fulfill her mother's wish that she finish school, she works nights cleaning office buildings so she can pay her own way. As sweet as she is, Tohru is no doormat.
Tooru is a little like the typical anime schoolgirl - sweet, not very bright, but always cheery and is a big help around the house.
We meet Tohru Honda, possibly the kindest, gentlest girl on the planet and follow how, through acts of kindness and compassion, her life takes an upward swing after the death of her mother.
Tohru is gentle without being wishy-washy, providing the show's heart. Sure, she's a push over at times, but she finds courage when she needs it, and has help from others when things become too much.
