Kisa Sohma

From Animepedia

Kisa Sohma (草摩 杞紗, Sōma Kisa?), aged 12–13, is the tiger of the Chinese zodiac. She is depicted as a cute but very shy and withdrawn girl. In an author's note, Natsuki Takaya described her as "in competition to be the first or second most beautiful character"[110] and also described her as a "girly-girl."[111] When she starts middle school, her classmates harass and ostracize her due to her naturally tawny hair and golden eyes, an effect of her curse. Because she feels ashamed of being bullied, she does not tell her worried mother what is happening and stops speaking; when this distresses her mother even further, she runs away and is found by Hatsuharu.[112] Tohru Honda, who understands Kisa's distress because she was once bullied herself, helps Kisa to come out of her shell, and Kisa becomes very attached to her, calling her "onee-chan" ("big sister") in both the manga and Japanese language anime, while in the English dubbed anime she calls her "Sissy".[56][113] She sometimes gets mad at Hiro because of his treatment of Tohru. Kisa likes Hiro and is hurt when he withdraws from her to protect her from Akito,[56] much like Hatsuharu is hurt by Rin.[114] As the series progresses, Kisa is shown struggling with her shyness, and feels it is a major accomplishment to greet Kyo directly, instead of relying on Hiro to speak for her.[91] Kisa likes omelets and but not dry foods, and is a fan of a fictional anime series Mogeta. She is called Sat-chan, using just the last syllable of her given name, by Shigure. Takaya derived her name from the second month, kisaragi or "changing clothes month," which is the month of the tiger, of the traditional Japanese calendar.[101] Voiced by: Kaori Nazuka (Japanese), Kate Bristol (English)

A young 12 year old little girl who is part of the Sohma family and was born with the curse of the tiger. Kisa was beaten up by Akito Sohma, the head of the family, and took 2 weeks to fully heal. Hiro Sohma grew distant from her from that incident and that was when she was being teased in school for her hair color and eyes. She ignored it until everyone didn't speak to her and laughed at everything she said. Kisa then stopped talking and never spoke to anyone. She then ran away from home and was found by Hatsuharu Sohma in her tiger form.
