Tomori Fumoto

Tomori Fumoto (麓 灯里) is a prominent character in the Spirits' Difficult Life series.

Official Description
A second year middle school student who comes off as unintentionally sadistic. While her grades are impeccable, Tomori is terrible when it comes to physical activities.

Appearance
She has purple eyes and short, brown hair, which Tomori often attaches different accessories to every now and then. Tomori seems to have reached her peak stature for her age, a realization that has caused her grief.

Background
Tomori is a Japanese middle school student who lives with her grandmother. A lover of tulips, Tomori, along with her best friend, Sumino, went to the park one day to see them in bloom. She suddenly sees a fire break around the tulip patch and immediately rushes towards it, only to find Sara, a flame spirit from another realm. But unbeknownst to Tomori, Sara would have to use her in order to pass the Trial of Maturity, which is a rite of passage for girls living in the spirit realm.

She is soft-spoken and mild-mannered, but once in a while Tomori's thoughts inadvertently come off as being cynical and threatening, which often frightens Sara. Although lacking in fitness and dexterity, Tomori is actually quite intelligent for her age, and knows various facts and trivia about life even outside of Japan, which includes a grasp of the Estonian language. In addition to earning top marks in school, Tomori loves to sew and cook, often picking out and using fresh vegetables and fruits. It is perhaps due to living in her grandmother's house - one that is furnished with rotary dial phones and a kamado - that Tomori has somewhat of an "old lady" personality, often holding tea parties and cowering under blankets during the cold. Being slightly frail and timid herself, Tomori is prone to collapsing after a short jog and is fearful of being in the dark.

Her older cousin, Iroha, often acts as a surrogate big sister to Tomori. But despite being a grade higher than Tomori, Iroha often comes to her for academic help.
