Yuki Sohma
Also known as: The Rat, Prince Yuki
The rat of the zodiac, the school's untouchable 'prince,' privately starved for friendship after a childhood as Akito's isolated possession. His realization that he wanted Tohru as a mother, not a lover — and his growth with Machi — quietly steal the back half of the series.
