Summary
Tooru Honda is a polite and optimistic orphaned high schooler who initially lives in a tent before Shigure and Yuki offer her shelter in exchange for housekeeping. She takes pride in her cooking and domestic skills, while also working as a janitor after school to cover her tuition and avoid burdening her grandfather. Though often described as selfless and kind, characters like Kyou, Rin, and Hanajima frequently urge her to prioritize her own well-being rather than carrying everyone else's burdens. Her formal speech patterns, imperfectly learned from her father Katsuya, stem from a childhood attempt to fill the void left by his death when she was three. After her mother Kyouko died in a car accident shortly before the series begins, Tooru treasured her memory above all else, even feeling guilty about her developing feelings for Kyou as a form of disloyalty to her mother.
