Overview[]
The Taurus Star Maiden and an apprentice mailman training under "Boss". An avid runner, she speeds through town delivering letters. She has a hard time stopping once she starts running though... She crashes into things so often, she can now pummel through small trees! Her ultimate goal is to become a great mailman. She can also smell things from long distances away, like a bloodhound.
Appearance[]
Normal Clothes: Taura has light blue eyes, small animal ears on her head made from her short hair; with dark green hair and a single earring on her left ear.

She carries around with her an orange bag, which possibly contains the mail she sends around Granvania.

Personality[]
Games[]
As per her zodiac description, Taura has an energetic personality being the athletic tomboy she is and is considered a free spirit. When she's not delivering mail, she wants to race with others like Collette. She has the tendency to run too fast and finds herself unable to stop crashing into people and objects. Though she usually does this by accident, if Tarua likes you, she will try to crash into you intentionally. She can be air-headed and idiotic at times, although she is very carefree and passionate about her job for delivering mail. She believes that it's important that people get their mail no matter their contents because it's akin to them reaching home. Tarua gained this philosophy from "Boss", the head of the post office and her adopted father. While she loves her job, she also wants approval from those around her. She wants her boss to appreciate the hard work she does and when she does well, her favorite reward is to be patted on the head.
She is a hard worker to the point where she can unintentionally put her health in jeopardy. She does eventually learn she can rely on others when she needs it. When she and Itsuki become closer, she worries about her femininity and wants to be viewed as more attractive. It is also apparent that for the most part, she is open about her feelings and they rush into the recipient at full force. She has a very loose use of the word "love". When she first tells Itsuki she loves him, it was out of thanks for helping her and not because of any romantic feelings. Overtime, she uses that word in the proper context since she does develop those feelings for Itsuki. Tarua also becomes worried that Itsuki would draw too much attention from other women and she wants to act as his body guard both as his protection when not in the labyrinths and as an excuse to spend more time with him. Though she was initially nervous about Classmating, she eventually gets used to it and her expectation to be rewarded by being patted on the head allows her to endure it.
Anime[]
In the Conception (anime), Tarua is less childish than in game. Most of her development from her bonding arc was removed or abridged.
