After losing her mother in a traffic accident, Tohru found herself living in a tent in the woods. But those very woods were property of the Sohma family, and little did Tohru realize that meeting them would have such a strong and personal impact on her life. While attending high school and working a part-time job at a hotel, Tohru acts as a housekeeper for Shigure, Yuki, and Kyo Sohma in exchange for them letting her live in their house. But besides doing the cooking and cleaning Tohru serves another, more meaningful purpose to the Sohmas. Her kindness, compassion, and sincere empathy help ease the tension that Yuki, Kyo, and the other Sohmas feel as a result of the curse that haunts their lives. Tohru's bright and positive outlook on life, her sympathetic heart, and her unfaltering habit of always putting the needs of others before her own, helps each of the troubled Sohmas cope with the conflicts in their lives and find much needed confindence within themselves.
