Sora Sohma (草摩 昊, Sōma Sora) is one of the recurring characters of the Fruits Basket Another series. She is the daughter of Isuzu and Hatsuharu Sohma, and the older twin sister of Riku Sohma.
Sora attends Kaibara Municipal High School with Riku, Sawa Mitoma, and her other relatives as a first-year student.
Appearance
Overall, Sora takes after her mother. She has long, waist-length straight black which she keeps it in pigtails as opposed to letting it down. She also has straight, evenly-cut bangs that cover her forehead. She has big, brown eyes, which she inherited from her father. Sora dresses in the standard school uniform with an additional black sweater on top. Along with the uniform, she wears a short black skirt with dark leggings and heeled boots.
Personality
Whereas her appearance takes more after Rin, her personality takes after Haru more in some aspects: such as saying oddball things (”take a deep breath of the fresh air - it’s delicious”), lightly teasing others (asking Sawa Mitoma if she called Riku aside for a love confession) and for suddenly sticking her arms straight out in a "T-Pose" when she sees someone she likes.
Sora has an extremely energetic, cheerful, happy and overall friendly personality in contrast to her serious brother. She is also very social and has no problem striking up a conversation with strangers and befriend people. She becomes familiar with people rather quickly, as she began referring Sawa to "Sawacchi" during their first meetings. Similarly, Sora has a fondness of creating "cute" nicknames for people, such as "Haa-kun" for Hajime and "Muu-kun" for Mutsuki. Additionally, she refers to herself in the third person, which gives the impression that she is cute and childish.[1]
Sora is a very air-headed girl who sometimes has little awareness of her surroundings. She is bad at studying and claims it is her dream to complete high-school without failing her classes. Despite that, she always gives her best, is determined, and works her hardest to succeed.[2][3]
Sora is an affectionate person, as she is not afraid to openly hug her friends, relatives, and people she likes. Despite appearing as quite childish, Sora is very empathetic, supportive, and gives good advice. She is also rather headstrong, blunt, and very open with her feelings, so she says and does whatever she wants without any censor. Despite her overall positive and kind personality, Sora is noted to be extremely scary when angered.
Story Overview
History
Sora is the first child born to Hatsuharu and Isuzu Sohma. Since her parents are friends with the other Sohmas, Sora came to ultimately know their children as well and grew up alongside them.[1]
Plot
Sora is first seen casually walking around on school grounds sipping from a box of juice when she sees her brother carrying Sawa Mitoma. She gives a friendly introduction to Mitoma and is the fourth Sohma to be introduced. When Hajime appears she clings on to him and exclaims that Riku made Mitoma cry. The three are surprised when Mitoma thanks Riku for explaining himself to her (for noticing that one their female classmates wanted to have lunch with her). To avoid confusion, Sora and Riku let Mitoma refer to them by their first names instead of the customary last name.[1]
She is later seen inviting herself to Michi Manabe's get-together.
Relationships
Sawa Mitoma
Sora's relationship with Mitoma is a friendly one. She initially asks jokingly if Mitoma was going to confess (her love) to Riku to which the latter vehemently denied. When she sees Mitoma crying she comforts her and encourages her to speak up. By the end of their conversation, she asks Mitoma to refer to her by her first name.
Riku Sohma
Riku is Sora's younger twin brother. Despite his serious demeanor they seem to share a typical sibling relationship. Sora openly teases him calling him "neurotic" and "blockhead" while also commenting on his serious and blunt nature.
Hajime Sohma
It can be assumed that all four of the Sohma family members grew up together. When Hajime finds Sora, Sawa, and Riku, Sora instantly clings to Hajime and tells him that Riku had made Sawa cry. Though he is exasperated by the greeting, he does not reject it.
Trivia
