Appearance (animal):
Personality: A bit of a wanderer, it is rare that any member of the zodiac, even God, will see him more than twice a year; once on the streets, and once when all the zodiacs are summon on New Years. Fiercely independent, it is easy to offend him by attempting to restrict his freedoms in almost any way. If you try to put a rope around his neck, even a figurative one, the reaction will be fast, and it will be violent. He hates the God almost as much as the God hates him, for the simple reason that he will not always do as he is told. He is also, however, fiercely loyal to those who are kind to him, and makes a very good friend. He is intelligent and has a very clear sense of right and wrong. He would protect the weak with his life, and often does, though he has, as yet, not lost it.
History: Tarou was born outside the Sohma estate, to a mother that no one knew was pregnant. She and her husband had fled the Sohma family the night they found out she was pregnant, suspecting that they might give birth to a member of the zodiac and fearing that their child would be taken away from them by the man who was God then. Tarou spent more than the first decade of his life living in another part of Japan, free of the God, but the birth of a zodiac does not escape the attention of the God. Riko was born when Tarou was seven. When Tarou was sixteen, Riko himself appeared on Tarou’s doorstep. He punished Tarou’s parents severely for their deception of the previous God, and took Tarou home to be ‘broken’. Tarou did not take kindly to that.
