I know that a lot of people don't
like Tomoe - maybe because she is not the kawaii easy-to-love anime
heroine type. Maybe it's because she somehow seems to be Kaoru's love
opponent. Or maybe it's because she dies, and it is just too sad to think
about. Maybe, she... er... well, I'm not one of those people...
Tomoe was born in noble family. Her mother died
when Tomoe was young so she helped raise Enishi, her little brother. She
was engaged to a handsome samurai, who was later killed and she swore to
avenge his death. However, fate brought her to fall in love with hitokiri
Battousai, and later everything ended in tragedy. All right, that was
her short biography. The sad part is over; I'll say no more on this
subject.
Tomoe is rather reserved - very reserved, if you
compare her with Kaoru. No one ever knows what she is thinking, except, of
course, her diary. Anyway, she plays a big part in Kenshin's life. If
there wasn't Tomoe, there wouldn't be the cute rurouni we all know as
Kenshin. Tomoe is always doing the old-fashioned girl things like sewing,
sweeping the floor, wearing White Plum perfume, bringing blankets to a
sleeping hitokiri who almost murders her, falling in love with that same
hitokiri whom she has sworn to kill, dying
trying to kill someone else, et cetera. ^^;;;;; You see, old-fashioned
kinds of life are a bit
complicated; there is a lot of murdering going around. |
