Thoma's father is an Inazuman and his mother is a Mondstadter. In his early years living in Mondstadt, Thoma did not have particularly strong aspirations. Each day, he was awakened by the early morning sun and the fresh fragrance of flowers. After breakfast, he could choose to take a relaxing stroll through the city or explore the wilderness freely. At that time, Thoma thought that people should have the happiness of living a leisurely life. Perhaps it would have been better to live a peaceful life.
After Thoma's father returned to Inazuma, he was worried that his old man would not be able to drink Mondstadt's wine there, so he sailed to Inazuma alone in a small boat carrying Dandelion Wine. On the way, a huge wave overturned the boat and Thoma fell into the water. Fortunately, he just drifted unconscious down the water until he got washed ashore on a beach in Inazuma.
At that time, Thoma had nothing and no family with him, but still started his life in Inazuma with optimism. He relied on his insight and communication skills to make friends with people in various industries. Despite the strange looks and gossip directed towards him, Thoma never showed any dissatisfaction, and always smiled at all doubts. However, for all his best efforts, he was unable to find his father. But at his most difficult moment, Thoma met someone who was worthy of his 'loyalty' to the end.
When the Kamisato Clan was losing its power, Ayato, who was embroiled in the dispute over the succession rights due to the death of both parents, advised him that he would be better off leaving if he didn't want to get drawn into it. Could Thoma, who had received so many favors from them, just leave like that? Choosing to leave would mean that he would have to return to his ordinary, stable life with regrets and guilt. But after much deliberation, Thoma ultimately decided to stay, pledging his support to the siblings. As if to respond to Thoma's choice — on this night of divergent destinies, a Vision, bright red like a blaze, appeared beside him.
During the Vision Hunt Decree, Thoma and his Kamisato masters helped those affected negatively and secretly facilitated various resistance sects.
When dealing with difficult individuals, policies, or anything that poses a hindrance, Thoma relies less on brute force and more on his connections and wits to deal with the issue. He can outsmart a shady price gouger simply by pulling a few favors here and there, all without raising his blade. But when it's time to defend the rights of the Yashiro Commission, Thoma will also put his smile away. That's right, if anyone dares to harm its interests or disrespect the Kamisato siblings, he will make them pay. He sees this as his duty and does his best, but does not like to boast about his achievements. Even if he is criticized for this, he will not defend himself too much. As for those who have had unpleasant run-ins with Thoma, the mention of him still instills fear. Occasionally, however, Thoma will sit alone in a corner of the Yashiro Commission and think about matters concerning himself.
Thoma is an 'all-rounder' when it comes to housekeeping. Whether it's cleaning, cooking, sewing, gardening, caregiving, or socializing, he can handle it all with ease. For Thoma, housekeeping is not only a job and duty, but also his hobby. He would clean the house like new, making sure that there was not a single grain of dust left on the railings. He would be in a very happy mood when faced with a clean and tidy Yashiro Commission. Perhaps it's the sense of accomplishment that comes with cleaning. Whenever he has the chance, Thoma will pick up a broom or duster and sweep away any unsightly stains. Some of Yashiro samurai look down on him for his 'un-masculine' domestic skills and hobbies, saying he's an insult to the way of the samurai, and taking issue with his foreign origins. However, it doesn't bother Thoma at all.
Whenever he appears at the Yashiro Commission, Thoma is almost always busy with such work. He is able to get everything done well, and even Furuta, the butler of the Kamisato Clan, is full of praise for his housekeeping skills. However, most of the time, Thoma does not stay in the Yashiro Commission, but goes elsewhere to deal with some special matters discreetly. For example: solving the problems encountered by the Yashiro Commission, asking for information for the head of the Kamisato Clan, fulfilling Ayaka's wishes, etc. In those unknown corners, Thoma has always used his own way to develop the influence of the Yashiro Commission.
Many people would take the initiative to get to know Thoma. The more people you know, the more resources you can get. Thoma would learn a lot of first-hand information from them, or quietly strike 'deals' that are beneficial to the Yashiro Commission. Regardless of whether he's dealing with a dignitary or a street vendor, Thoma can easily find an opening to join the conversation and have a good time with them. However, although Thoma has a vast network of contacts in Inazuma, he has never used it for personal gain, nor has he ever forced others to do things in the name of the Yashiro Commission. He's quite the talker and has reasons behind every word that he says. Sometimes, it might seem like there's no connection, but as he goes on, everything will eventually dovetail nicely towards a single purpose.
Surprisingly, Thoma has no resistance when it comes to cute animals. When Thoma's out, he always carries some small snacks for animals, and feeds stray cats and dogs when he sees them. It never fails to make him smile seeing animals scarf food down. To Thoma, these animals, like himself, are part of what makes up the world. Even if they don't seem to be eye-catching, they are still trying to live. As long as you live, good things will always happen... This is what Thoma has always believed in. Even if these animals had not encountered good things before, he hoped that at least his presence would be a good thing worth celebrating for. In addition, he also takes special care of the daily lives of his colleagues around him.
Arataki Itto: Jealous of Thoma being the 'star' of the Vision Hunt Ceremony (100th Vision taken), thinking he should've been chosen instead.
Beidou: Once promised to take Thoma out onto the open ocean to get a look at the thunderstorm that seals off Inazuma from the outside world. To this day, he never had the chance to take her up on the offer.
Kamisato Ayaka: Thinks of him as a dear friend and another brother, and as a full member of the Kamisato Clan.
Kamisato Ayato: Thoma is one of the few people he trusts completely. They often play shogi together, and Ayato has made an habit of giving him his bizarre experiments with food. He has the custom of sending Thoma a sample of the concoctions he puts together during his trips, to the point he sends his ninjas as messengers to deliver them directly, and unfortunately Thoma can't refuse to taste them. Thoma makes sure to look out for him when he's at home.
Kujou Sara: Would very much like for Thoma to come to the Tenryou Commission if he ever tires of working for the Kamisato Clan.
Raiden Shogun: Acknowledges her fault in Thoma being almost stripped of his Vision during the Vision Hunt and is considering an apology. Thoma doesn't hold a grudge on her, understanding that she was acting on her own set of morals.
Sayu: Thoma for some reason pesters her about learning ninjutsu every time she runs into him. She doesn't have the time to teach him, and even goes out of her way to avoid him now.
Taroumaru: Shiba Inu, owner of the Komore Teahouse in Inazuma City. Good friends with Thoma.
Yae Miko: Thoma is scared of her. He is one of the very few people in Inazuma to refer to her as 'Lady Miko' instead of 'Lady Yae'.
Yoimiya: Asks him for help whenever she encounters a matter she can't settle.
• "All plants and creatures equally deserve our respect."
• "As far as food is concerned, I'm fine with anything. If we're counting beverages, though... I'm not very good with alcohol. Don't laugh, and before you say it — yes, I've wondered what this says about my identity as a Mondstadter. But, y'know... too much alcohol is bad for you, anyway. So not drinking is a good thing."
• "Check this out~"
• "Don't run on the ice... 'cause if you fall down, I won't help you up, you gotta learn somehow."
• "Father has always taught me to be a loyal and righteous man... I would like to do my best to do my part for the young master and the young lady."
• "For me, housework is about keeping a space clean and tidy, so that everyone who lives there has a smile on their face. And now... it looks like I'm responsible for another smile. I'll do my best to deliver!"
• "For some of the more conservatively minded people in Inazuma, the idea of an outlander working as a retainer for one of the Commissions is unthinkable. So there was a time when I was not that welcome here. I'm pretty sure I'd have been deported a long time ago without a couple of Kamisatos fighting my corner. I couldn't let the clan down after they'd been so kind to me, so I put in a lot of honest work, and eventually, everyone was finally able to accept me."
• "Gee, who cares about such trivialities? And it doesn't matter what kind of person I am, as long as those who should know know it."
• "Great job here, you really know what you're doing! If you placed this in Inazuma, you could probably steal a good chunk of business from Hanamizaka. Shame I can't flex my 'fixer' muscles around here. In other words... no discounts for Thoma. I won't let that affect our outings here though. Food and drink's on me, hehe."
• "Haha, I guess I always try to see the positive side of things."
• "Hehe, finders keepers~"
• "Here doggy, look — no more danger."
• "Hey, how come you're eating here all alone? ...Uh, is it okay if I join you? Or did you just want some space?"
• "I get homesick once in a while, too, so I completely relate to all the international merchants on Ritou. I try to look out for them as much as I can. The difference between us is that they see themselves as just passing by, and have no intention of trying to integrate here. And because that's how they think, it becomes their reality. The majority of Inazumans will never see them as anything more than outsiders."
• "I really did spend a lot recently, only 10 Mora left... Still, 10 Mora's better than no Mora!"
• "I'm your new buddy, Thoma — as long as that's okay with you, of course!"
• "I, Thoma, give to you my weapon and my loyalty, and I promise to fight for you, no matter what."
• "It was never Ayaka or Ayato's intention to make me the housekeeper, I volunteered. I like this kind of work. Putting everything in order gives me a great sense of achievement, and based on everyone's reactions... Yeah, I think I do a pretty good job."
• "Lady Miko? Wh—What about her? Haaah... Every time Miss Kamisato sends me out to deliver messages, my least-favorite destination is the Grand Narukami Shrine... Oh! N—Not because Lady Miko scares the bejeebers out of me, it's, uh... respect. Yes! She strikes respect deep into my heart, ahahahaha..."
• "Ow ow ow..."
• "Sure! The atmosphere here's really relaxed. It's perfect for chatting the day away. By the way, I've been hoping to show you around the Grand Narukami Shrine when we get the chance."
• "Without a doubt, my favorite food is Rice Cake Soup. I like cooking up a big, delicious potful for everyone to share. It's a recipe for a good time."
Thoma's favorite duster has been with him in many 'conquests'. As it has been used for too long, no matter how Thoma cleans and takes care of it now, it still looks old and gray. Despite this, Thoma is still reluctant to discard it.
This duster was given to Thoma when he was first assigned cleaning duties at Yashiro Commission. As soon as he sees it, he recalls those hard but happy times. At that time, Thoma had yet to comprehend various cleaning techniques. Due to his lack of experience, he was often busy doing all kinds of cleaning and tidying work until late at night. Accompanying him were the moonlight above his head, the chirping of insects in the summer night, and the sound of a duster tapping on the beams.
There are many different kinds of cleaning. From a simple cleaning to an all-out deep cleaning, Thoma has experienced it all. At first, he found the work boring, but after he got used to it, he found that he could think more quietly when cleaning.
So to this day, Thoma often uses this duster to perform his work. While brushing away the dust in front of him, he also brushed away the fog in his head in a quiet and steady state of mind.
