Background / History

Tomie and Yuki Gyakukai have known one another since kindergarten and are childhood friends who later became engaged. Yuki lived with the Hanyu family for more than a decade, making him effectively a live-in son-in-law. 2 4 25

As a Tomie-type creature, she can regenerate into a new Tomie from even a tiny surviving piece of biological tissue. The Hanyu family has used this trait against rival families, while also burning discarded tissue to prevent uncontrolled proliferation. 2 9

Tomie selected Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School because its three years of isolation from outside contact would give her an opportunity to keep Yuki to herself. She does not admit this motive to him, fearing it would make her appear overly tsundere. 2

Upon entering Class B, Tomie immediately becomes the center of attention. Her classmates rapidly recognize her as their “queen,” and Amikura Asako becomes her foremost follower. 2 14 17

After Class B rises to Class A, Tomie gives up pursuing elected office and becomes Yuki's personal assistant. She later tutors Chihiro Shiramami during the midterm study period. 27 30

Appearance

Tomie is a petite, fair-skinned girl whose height reaches approximately Yuki's shoulder. She is renowned throughout the first year for her beauty and is identified as one of Class A's two leading beauties. 2 30

• Long, thick jet-black hair, usually worn loose; she uses a high ponytail for outdoor activities or sports. 9
• Large, jewel-like black eyes and a high nose bridge. 6 8
• Delicate facial features, small ears, and notably slender hands. 2
• Often projects a composed, queen-like presence, though she can become visibly flustered around Yuki. 9 24
• Her hair requires careful maintenance; Yuki commonly washes and blow-dries it for her. 9

Personality

Tomie is confident, vain, and intensely aware of her own beauty. She takes clear satisfaction in being praised as Yuki's fiancée and in holding a queen-like position among her classmates. 24 28

Her behavior toward Yuki is characteristically tsundere: she alternates between affectionate dependence, teasing, cold remarks, and forceful displays of jealousy. She wants him to prioritize her alone and is suspicious of women who approach him, especially given his history of attracting attention. 2 7 17 42

Despite her possessiveness, Tomie is attentive to Yuki's well-being. She gives him time off when she believes he has overworked himself, worries when he is soaked and exposed to the cold, and openly defends him when she believes another girl is attempting to seduce him. 28 44 45
