TOMOMI

**Appearance**

Tomomi's casual appearance at first glance is one of a short, diminutive boy, and even a little short for a girl. She has a smaller body size and shape, but that is actually to her advantage as a swimmer. She is light and powerful. Tomomi has a slightly upside-down pear shaped face, with a slightly pointed chin. She has big 'manga girl' eyes, with a pale purple coloration, but with narrow eyelashes and eyebrows. Tomomi has pale freckles around her nose and cheeks. She has a very short boy's hairstyle, with tiny, spiky bangs all around, with a dark gray color. The tiny front bangs do not cover her forehead, giving it a seemingly larger appearance. Her ears protrude outward from the side of her head. Given her smaller body stature, she has full but narrow shoulders, long arms and legs, normal hands and feet that do not detract from her body's appearance. She has a medium to darker skin tone, ever all over. Tomomi, at the time of her last transformation of her metamorphosis changeover, already had a small, but nicely developed bust. So feminine and so noticeable, that she needed to begin wearing a girl's swimsuit for modesty, even before the last transformation action.

After Tomomi was changed by the metamorphosis to an atomically correct girl, the story only shows her wearing the girl's swimsuit that was given to her by Kaho. It is a typical girl's competition style one-piece tank swim suit, with a vertical striped print pattern in various colors. The front of the swimsuit looks like a one-piece, but looking at the back, it looks like a bikini swimsuit with cutouts above and below the bra strap, and a cutout in back between the bra strap and the panty bottom. Tomomi wore this special swimsuit at her first swim competition as a girl, swimming as a member of the girl's swim team.

**Personality and Circumstances**

Most of this short story occurs when Tomomi is in 'male mode'. Therefore, Tomomi's female personality and circumstances can only be surmised by how they reacted to the Amphibian Metamorphosis, and what got changed to adapt to 'female mode', or what stayed the same. Tomomi probably knew from early on in their life that they had a feminine personality and Gender Identity. Tomomi reacted like so many transgender children do. They tried to bury their female self in decidedly masculine activities, like sports that show off one's masculine power and prowess. Tomomi chose swimming. Nevertheless, Tomomi had several good personality traits that seemed to carry over. Tomomi was always dedicated to being the best that they could at any activity. They did well athletically as a boy, and also were destined to do well as a girl. She took her training seriously, even after the transformation. This can be seen by her entering the swim competition, although with a newly configured female body.

Tomomi had a good, positive self-image of who they were before the transformation, and that continued after the transformation. The pangs of gender dysphoria did not seem to be that harsh upon Tomomi, as they took everything in stride. Tomomi sorta knew that the changes were coming, and did not go bananas when breasts began to appear on their chest. What a foreshadowing! What a remarkable acceptance of what was happening! But she was just as happy now as a girl swimmer, as she was previously. Tomomi seems to have been aware of the benefits of good health. This can be seen from their regular weight and strength training, as well as other physical activities. It is implied that Tomomi continued on with her beneficial attitude towards good health even after changing to a girl. Tomomi really valued her friendship, both before and after the change. She stayed close friends with Kaho, and with both of them now being girls, the closeness became even more personal and intimate. It may be that a Yuri relationship will develop between the two friends, swimming rivals notwithstanding. It may have been a 'break-even' situation about changing to a girl, but Tomomi probably realizes that she comes off a better person for the transformation. And that will serve her well in the years to come, all the way into adulthood.

**Trivia**

In the Japanese language, the first name "Tomomi" is masculine, and means one who is a loyal friend, companion, and partner, one who has an abundance of spiritual light, wisdom, and intellect.
