Character Setting

Edit

Tohru is the dragon protagonist from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. She is a powerful and cheerful female dragon from Slavic mythology who transforms into a human maid after being saved by Kobayashi. Tohru is completely devoted to Kobayashi and tries to fit into the human world, even though she often misunderstands human customs. Her love for Kobayashi and strong desire for freedom drive much of her story, making her both adorable and fierce.

Age: 16 (appeaeance), Less than 1000 (chronologically)

Faction: Chaos Faction

Relatives: Damocles (father)

Tohru is originally a dragon from another world, and her dragon form looks like a "fire serpent" with features that resemble classic dragons.

In the human world, she takes the form of an adult woman with long blonde twin tails, flat split horns, and a tail.

She always wears a maid outfit, inspired more by maid cafes than actual maid uniforms. Her horns are always visible, even when she's in human form.

Tohru has a very large chest, which she jokes is "D-cup because I'm a 'Dragon'," but in dragon terms, it's even bigger by human standards.

She can change her clothes freely since they're basically her own scales.

She also sometimes tries to get Kobayashi to eat her tail, believing it's tasty.

Tohru has a bright, caring, and honest personality.

She is very dedicated and always wants to help Kobayashi, even if it means doing silly or over-the-top things.

Tohru falls in love with Kobayashi right after they meet, not caring about race or gender. She often seeks out Kobayashi’s affection, even hoping for something more.

She sees herself as the "perfect maid" for Kobayashi and isn't affected by teasing or denial.

Tohru doesn't like people getting close to Kobayashi and sometimes even feels jealous or aggressive towards them.

She is very proud to be a dragon and sometimes sees humans as lesser, but it's more about dragon pride than actual hate.

With young dragons like Kanna Kamui, she is gentle and caring, almost like an older sister.

Tohru is also kind and friendly to her dragon friends like Lucoa and Fafnir.

Tohru comes from a dragon world where dragons and humans are enemies.

She fought as a leader of the "Chaos Faction" and was badly hurt in a fight with a god, getting a divine sword stuck in her back.

She escaped to the human world, thinking she would die alone, but then a drunk Kobayashi pulled out the sword and saved her.

Grateful to Kobayashi, Tohru decided to stay as her maid.

Tohru is the daughter of Damocles, a powerful "end emperor" dragon. She traveled the world, learned new things, and longed for freedom from endless fighting.

Her wish for freedom led her to fight against the gods, after which she escaped, wounded, to the human world.

Meeting Kobayashi gave her the companionship and freedom she really wanted.

In the human world, she uses the name "Tooru Kobayashi" and fits in well in the neighborhood, thanks to her friendly and polite nature.

Tohru is incredibly strong, even in her human form.

She can breathe fire, shoot laser beams, cast magic, and use superhuman strength.

She claims to have "48 maid skills" that she can do with magic.

Sometimes her strength causes trouble because she tries to solve human problems by force.

She also tends to say scary or violent things because of her dragon background.

Tohru is deeply in love with Kobayashi and always wants to be close to her or show her affection.

She is jealous of anyone trying to get close to Kobayashi, even her friends like Makoto Takiya, Elma, or Ilulu.

She is very caring to younger dragons, especially Kanna Kamui.

Tohru also gets along well with other dragons, Lucoa and Fafnir, and is seen as someone who cares for her friends.

She tries hard to blend into human society and is well-liked by people in the neighborhood.

Saved by Kobayashi

Tohru, badly wounded after a battle with a god, escapes to the human world.

She expects to die in the mountains, but Kobayashi stumbles upon her while drunk and pulls out the god's sword, saving her life.

Tohru, wanting to repay this kindness, starts living with Kobayashi as her maid.

Learning About Humanity

Tohru learns about humans and their culture, even if she gets things wrong sometimes.

She takes on the name "Tooru Kobayashi" and fits into the community.

Her maid outfit is based on what she sees in maid cafes, causing Kobayashi to joke it is just cosplay.

Relationships and Challenges

Tohru's affection for Kobayashi is shown in her daily life, from helping around the house to being jealous of others.

She sometimes gets into trouble or makes mistakes because she tries to handle problems like a dragon.

She also helps care for Kanna Kamui and gets to know other dragons like Lucoa, Fafnir, and Elma.

Desire for Freedom

Growing up, Tohru traveled the world and started to feel tired of the endless fighting between dragons, humans, and gods.

She begins wanting "freedom," and finally, after her big fight, she escapes to the human world.

There, she feels loneliness and fear for the first time, but living with Kobayashi lets her find true happiness and freedom as "Kobayashi's maid."

Struggle and Acceptance

Tohru sometimes worries about the differences between dragons and humans, especially that dragons live much longer.

She learns to treasure her daily life with Kobayashi, showing other dragons that it's possible to live together with humans.

Anime and Spin-offs

The anime shows about a year in Tohru and Kobayashi’s life, from late winter to spring, focusing on their growing bond.

In spin-offs like "Kanna's Daily Life," Tohru helps take care of Kanna and shares lessons from her father about humans and other worlds.

In "Elma's Office Lady Diary," Tohru is shown as a homemaker, surprising some dragons who knew her before.

Tohru’s human name is “Tooru Kobayashi,” used to hide her true identity.

Her maid costume is made from her own scales and can change shape.

She often tries to feed Kobayashi her tail, believing it tastes good.

Tohru insists she is a "D-cup" dragon, a joke about both the letter and her size.

She doesn't dislike humans but holds dragon pride taught by her father.

She isn't happy with the "dragon takes village girls" story, which she finds creepy.

Tohru is a well-known dragon in her world thanks to her father and her own power.

She was raised with a lot of love but struggled with endless fights and wanting to be free.

Her wish for freedom leads her to meet Kobayashi and learn about a different way to live.

Her actions inspire other dragons to think about how they live with humans.
