Character Profile: Kisa Sohma

Kisa got picked on at school, so for a while she wouldn't talk to anyone. Then she ran away, and wouldn't stop biting Tohru at first. Then she found out that Tohru understood what she was going through, and she kept following Tohru everywhere.

She learned how to talk again because of Tohru. Kisa is a really nice little girl all in all. Also, she and Hiro are really good friends, and he even has a crush on her.

Kisa Sohma is possessed by the tiger. She first met Tohru when Hatsuharu went to go find Kisa, who had runaway. At first, she wouldn't stop biting Tohru's hand, and she kept on running away from Tohru. Kisa had been teased at school, and so she stopped talking.

When Kisa's mother showed up, she was at her wits end, and was upset with Kisa. But Tohru appeared and began to talk about how she had been teased as well, and she could understand, that Kisa probably felt ashamed and afraid to tell someone. After that, Kisa wouldn't stop following Tohru around, but still, she wouldn't speak. After reading a letter from Kisa's teacher, Yuki told Kisa how he wouldn't talk either. After that, Kisa spoke. In the manga she said: "....Yeah. Yeah. Yeah....I was so hap...py." After that, she went back to school.

Her secret admirer is Hiro Sohma, possessed by the ram. But they grew distant after an incident in which Akito beat Kisa so bad... it took weeks for her wounds to heel. People began to tease Kisa when Hiro left. But because of Tohru, they are growing closer once again, meaning Kisa isn't being teased as much.

Fun fact: the name Kisa means kitt in Russian.
