Tomme Mima

Tomme is a young woman of average height standing at 167 cm with a slim, athletic build. She has long dark brown hair with two thick strands framing the front of her face, the rest pulled into a ponytail worn over her left shoulder. Her eyes are brown with olive green rings — a distinctive detail that gives her gaze a specific quality of layered observation.

Her standard Supporter uniform is a high-collared jacket worn with the zipper pulled all the way to the top, adorned with Cleaner organisational patches — including one labelled "RIFo" or "Bino", likely referring to her observational function. In hazardous or polluted zones she wears the standard spherical respirator mask. She carries her record-keeping equipment at all times: a digital or manual clipboard and a recording device or camera used to capture footage of Trash Beasts in the field.

Tomme is professional, precise, and considerably more compassionate than her data-focused presentation initially suggests. She is unshakeable during combat not because she is fearless but because she has absolute trust in her teammates — a trust she has built deliberately, over time, through the mutual reliance of working alongside people who protect her while she documents.

The Flawless Professional

She is described by Enjin as someone who "casually does everything flawlessly" — a characterisation that reads as a compliment and is also accurate. When Rudo assumed she was just "standing around" during missions, she explained directly: record keeping is a vital responsibility, and her job is to gather every piece of information she can about the Trash Beasts. The explanation was not defensive. It was a statement of purpose from someone entirely clear on what their work is worth.

Compassion Behind the Clipboard

She shows immediate worry for comrades in danger — visibly emotional when Enjin calmed her nerves about teammates trapped during a mission. When Rudo was deeply upset over mistaking Gris for dead, she comforted him. Amo Empool noted that Tomme "would make for a good mother" — an observation that captures the specific quality of her care: not loud, not demonstrative, but consistently attentive and present.

Perceptual Precision

Her observational training extends beyond Trash Beast morphology to the behaviour of the people around her. During the Tori mission, she was the first to notice that Tamsy was not helping — that he was standing around while Follo and Rudo fought without backup. She recorded what she saw. That observation became part of the evidence trail about Tamsy's true role in the organisation. She watches everything. The record includes people as well as monsters.

Personal Preferences

Tomme likes alcohol, talking romance, taking notes, and history — a combination that suggests someone who is professionally rigorous and personally warm, who keeps records for love of the activity as much as for professional duty. The love of history aligns directly with her function: she is the person the Cleaners rely on to ensure their experiences are preserved rather than lost.

Introduction and the Penta Arc

Tomme was assigned to the Penta mission as its primary tactical observer. Upon encountering the first scorpion-like Trash Beast in the desert, she immediately began her record — documenting its biological traits, exoskeleton thickness, and movement patterns. When a teammate suggested she wait until after the fighting to record, she refused: "...if I wait until after, I'll forget stuff." Her meticulous documentation provided the Giver teams with the data needed to locate the Beast's core and end the fight.

The Border Ambush and the Tori Connection

During the lethal ambush by the Raiders' Front Line near the Border, Tomme maintained her records throughout the engagement. Enjin confirmed afterward that she had "kept perfect records of everything" — providing the Cleaners with essential intelligence on the Raiders' Vital Instruments and their neurotoxins. The data she gathered during an event designed to destroy the team became the tactical foundation for how the Cleaners understood and countered the Raiders going forward.

During operations in the Tori No Man's Land, Tomme was the first person to notice Tamsy's suspicious behaviour — specifically that he was not helping Follo and Rudo against the Trash Beast and appeared to be simply observing. She recorded what she saw. That observation was the first perceptive catch of the behaviour that would later be confirmed as Tamsy's double-agent operation.

The Doll Festival Arc

During Mymo's takeover of the South Ward, Tomme operated as part of the logistical anchor at South Branch HQ — coordinating with senior Supporters including Gris Rubion to monitor the status of Giver teams in the field, tracking injuries, and managing deployment. She showed immediate concern for team members trapped during the crisis, visibly emotional when Enjin provided reassurance about their status.

Non-Giver Status

Tomme has no Anima-based powers and no Vital Instrument. She is a human with standard physical capabilities in a field environment that routinely attempts to kill people with supernatural abilities. She has survived every mission she has been assigned to, not through combat power but through the absolute trust she places in her teammates and the specific mental discipline required to remain functional in locations that compromise the sanity of ordinary humans.

Record-Keeping — The Primary Skill

Her defining professional capability is the gathering and analysis of every piece of information about Trash Beast morphology, core locations, attack patterns, and Anima signatures — captured in real time, during active combat, without interruption. The immediacy is the skill. She refuses to wait because waiting produces inaccurate records, and inaccurate records cost lives. Her documentation of the Penta scorpion-type provided the kill-path data that ended the fight. Her Border ambush records gave the Cleaners their intelligence on Raider Jinki.

Tactical Analysis

She possesses a high-level ability to predict attack patterns based on physical appearance and Anima signatures — categorising new threats by morphology immediately upon first encounter, before the combat situation requires it. She is analytical in the specific way of someone who has seen enough different enemy types that recognising patterns is now faster than deliberate reasoning.

Perceptual Precision — Beyond Beasts

Her observational training also extends to human behaviour. She noticed Tamsy's failure to assist during the Tori mission before anyone else identified it as suspicious. She watches everything in her field of observation with the same attention — Trash Beasts, teammates, and the people whose behaviour does not fit the pattern of what they claim to be doing.

Extreme Focus Under Pressure

She maintains full operational functionality in "power spots" — high-pollution zones that cause psychological distress to standard humans — because she has built the specific mental discipline required to stay focused on documentation when everything around her is trying to break that focus. This is not natural resilience. It is professional training applied consistently over years.

• Tomme's birthday is November 6th — placing her under Scorpio, a zodiac sign associated with intense focus, perceptual precision, and the specific quality of attention that notices things others miss. The alignment with her observational function is exact.
• In the anime adaptation (Studio Bones, 2025), Tomme is voiced by Hisako Tōjō (Japanese) and Ezra Vervin (English).
• Her name "Tomme" is pronounced exactly the same as tome — a thick, heavy scholarly book often used for learned or historical purposes. The Fandom wiki identifies this as likely connected to her love of history and writing. Her last name "Mima" is a Spanish term of endearment used toward females you are close with. Her full name is, in two languages, simultaneously "scholarly volume" and "dear woman."
• She was retroactively added to Chapter 8 in the volume release — replacing a faceless Supporter. The decision to insert her specifically into that chapter suggests the author wanted her presence established earlier in the Cleaners' world than her original manga debut.
• She was the first character to notice Tamsy's suspicious behaviour — observing during the Tori mission that he was not helping Follo and Rudo against the Trash Beast and appeared to be merely standing around gathering information. Her perceptual precision did not distinguish between Trash Beast morphology and human behavioural anomalies. Both were noted. Both went into the record.
• She is the only character officially designated as Record-keeper in the Cleaners' hierarchy — a title that, in a series built around the principle that sincerity creates soul, means she is the person who preserves the soul of the organisation's history.
• Amo's observation that Tomme "would make for a good mother" — coming from a person who spent twenty years without reliable maternal care — is the series' most quietly affecting endorsement of Tomme's character.
• Her likes include alcohol, talking romance, taking notes, and history — a combination that describes someone who takes their professional work seriously because they love it, not because they have to, and who balances that seriousness with a personal life that includes genuine warmth and human connection.
