Kagura Sohma

## Voices

**Kagura Sohma** (草摩 楽羅, *Sōma Kagura*) is a second-year student at a private girls' junior college.

Kagura is the Boar of the Chinese Zodiac. She is depicted as a girlish, sweet young woman, which opposes her destructive force of nature and near-obsessive love towards Kyo Sohma. She is convinced she will marry him, mainly because she threatened him into proposing to her as children, and partly because she thinks that they belong together because they can hug each other without transforming into their zodiac form. She has loved him since childhood, but her true feelings are rooted in a secret sadness.

Kagura lives with both of her parents, who loves her dearly and are perfectly fine with her double-edged personality; and her distant relative Isuzu Sohma. She is also good friends with Ritsu Sohma.

## Appearance

Kagura is a very cute petite young woman of average build and height, with fair skin which is prone to blushing, who has a pair of big, round dark brown eyes. She has straight, upper-back-length brown hair which she either leaves down, or tied into braids at each side of her head, secured with a ribbon at the back.

Kagura is mentioned to be a very feminine girl and often dresses in blouses, dresses, and skirts. During her introduction, she is seen wearing a short-sleeved dark yellow dress with a long-sleeved light yellow shirt underneath, and a pair of beige and light-brown colored boots.

Her school uniform, which she only has been seen in a couple of times, consists of a white tailored shirt with black sleeves, a yellow ribbon, and a black shirt underneath. It also consists of tights which cover her entire legs and a pair of black loafers.

She carries around her orange-colored cat backpack almost all the time, which is her trademark.

## Personality

Kagura is usually a sweet, polite, considerate, and friendly girly girl, but she is also very strong-willed, impulsive, and can become extremely violent, forceful, self-centered, and emotionally aggressive in a matter of seconds. This is most evident regarding her feelings for Kyo; when the target of her affections is present as her extremely passionate feelings are shown, they are also accompanied by actual physical violence as seen when she beats Kyo up. However, her behavior is mainly caused by emotional immaturity instead of malice; she just loses control of herself as her emotions well up and has little restraint at the very moment it happens. She charges at full force, like the Boar she embodies.

She has no sense of personal space and is very clingy with Kyo, but she has also been shown to hug other members like Yuki Sohma. She is affectionate and honest about her feelings for Kyo, but can become very aggressive when things don't go her way and when Kyo doesn't return her affections. Despite this, she is shown to genuinely be friendly and is noted to have a big-sister type of personality. She is also a very energetic person who wears her emotions on her sleeve. She becomes good friends with Tohru Honda despite viewing her as a romantic rival at first, and willingly gives up on Kyo when it's made clear that Tohru is the one he truly loves.

After being rejected by Kyo, Kagura realizes how self-centered she had been, and towards the end of the series, her personality mellows down to a gentler and more emotionally mature girl who has less violent outbursts and no problem to apologize if she thinks she has crossed a line. Even though she is dishonest with her feelings, she genuinely wishes happiness for Kyo and Tohru.
