Style: Tomomi's style is comfortable, mostly oversized clothes. She prefers comfort over style and that certainly show. Tomomi is fairly close to the girls of xSeven and doesn't mind showing her slob side around them...or the fans, or the people at the airport. An oversized sweatshirt and skinny pants is the way to go.
—Yeah, but What Else?:
Personality:
Tomomi is a very considerate girl. She's polite and extroverted, and makes very good company; she makes friends with other idols very easily, and is known for being a very popular member of her group. Tomomi is recharged from being around other people, and interacts with a lot of people for that very reason, even if they're the type of people that don't really like human interaction. Tomomi is an absolute pleasure to watch on variety shows, too. She knows when it's appropriate to crack jokes and has great comedic timing; she's also good at physical humor. Tomomi is the member of the group that is generally lazy and complains a lot, but she makes up for her complaining by practicing hard. She's very naturally happy and positive, providing a lot of sunshine for xSeven. Nothing makes this girl upset, not even the bad times. She's so positive it's infectious. She's even known as xSeven's happy virus.
Tomomi is a bit of a rude girl, though. Her brain to mouth filter...well, she doesn't have a brain-to-mouth filter. She says what's on her mind for better or for worse - usually, for worse. She's brutally honest without even meaning to be brutal about it, but she's cruel and rude more often than she isn't. Tomomi also holds grudge easily. When you wrong Tachibana Tomomi, she never forgets and will start hating you from that day on. She's a bit self-obsessed, too. She cares about her groupmates, but when it comes to their bigger problems, Tomomi has no idea how to act. Tomomi isn't the type of person that takes anything seriously, which usually comes back to bite her in the end.

—Tell Me Your Story:
Background: Tomomi is the only daughter of the richest family in a small Japanese town, but rather than working in the business of her parents, Tomomi always wanted to be a performer. She grew up idolizing groups like Morning Musume and AKB48, tuning her in to the Japanese idol scene.
In 2005, Tomomi joined Hello! Project Egg, a Japanese training agency for young girls. Tomomi's parents were less than pleased with her descision, and eventually Tomomi agreed that she wasn't getting much out of H!PE. She stayed out of performing for two years before auditioning for SM Entertainment, moving to Korea without telling her parents, in 2007. By then, she'd been far past disowned from her family, so really, Tomomi didn't care. She had dreams to chase.
Tomomi stayed with SM Entertainment until 2011, when she switched to LOEN after realizing there was a very small chance of her debuting as an SM Idol. Despite abandoning her family, she's been happy ever since.

—Love, Love, Love:
Love Interest: Park Chanyeol
Status: They hit it off as soon as Tomomi became a trainee. So really close friends.
Age: 21
Occupation: Idol (EXO-K)
Personality: Chanyeol is known as EXO's happy virus. He's cheerful, bright, and positive, much like Tomomi. Also much like Tomomi, he hides his emotions unless he's around people he really, really, really trusts. He's passionate and very clever, as well; his sense of humor is very stealthy, as opposed to Tomomi's more upfront sense of humor. He's awkward around strangers, but warms up to other people easily.
First Meeting: Tomomi ran in to Chanyeol one day as she was being very, very lost in the SM building. They were both there for rap lessons, and he showed her to the classroom.
Interactions: They're joking, laughing, and smiling whenever they're together. They're very sickeningly sweet around each other, as well; Toyeol, or Chammy, is a very popular ship among the members of xSeven and EXO. They should probably just date already.
Love Interest: Kim Joonmyeon / Suho
Status: Friendsish.
Age: 22
Occupation: Idol (EXO-K)
Personality: Suho is a sweetheart. He's really angelic, hardworking, kind and tolerant; a group couldn't ask for a better leader. He's fatherly and sweet and nice, and protective over his friends. He's also very caring to s and his friends, and will care for them and protect them no matter what.
First Meeting: As trainees - even rappers need vocal lessons.
Interactions: To put it simply, Tomomi talks a lot while Suho listens. Easy.
—Lights, Camera, Idol:

Previous Company — Time Spent: Hello! Project Egg - 2 years, SM Entertainment - 4 years (for a grand total of 8 years)

Position: Main Rapper, Vocal
Backup Position: Lead rapper, sub-dancer
Personal Fan Club Name: Oranges
Personal Fan Club Colors: #FE642E
Social Media: Twitter: @tomohime92, Instagram: @tommy927, Ameblo: xseventommy
Reason for Becoming an Idol: Mainly, to prove to her parents that she could. They disapproved of her becoming a performer from the start and she thoroughly plans to prove them wrong.
Twins: [The main vocalist can't rap like Miryo; the main rapper can't dance like Hyoyeon; the main dancer can't sing like Taeyeon. Lead is second best to main. Everyone's a vocal so you can't skip the vocal section. With that in mind, please choose realistically; I'll probably jump on you if your twins aren't good.]
