I wonder what it would be like to marry

Tae Sekihara 

Tae Sekihara 

Looks: Nice, very nice. A sort of classic beauty in the RK female cast. A friend says she reminded him of his sister way much for comfort. But if you like a woman with a sweet yet mature outlook and looking very pretty in her work clothes, Tae-san if for you.

Brains: Smarter than she looks at first glance, and Tae looks VERY smart. She has done an excellent work with her Akebeko, and also is pretty good at planning when she wants (see the Tanabata episode).

Personality: Cheerful and tender. This is a very kind and mature woman who does everything in her hand to help her long-time friend Kaoru, and by gum, Kenshin too. Forgiving though not a pushover (Sanosuke & friends know this). Shows good maternal instincts as she seems to have adopted Tsubame.

Cooking: Excellent. She's the owner of a very popular restaurant in Tokyo suburban area, remember? Her skills in Japanese cooking are astounding, and Tae may learn another recipes quickly, specially if she's thinking of add them to her menu.

Fighting skills: Her common sense lets her avoid fights. And there are the Kenshin-gumi if needed.

Special abilities: Provides the Kenshin-gumi of very useful info when it's needed. Apart of it, nothing superhuman.

Competition: None really but her work at Akabeko. As long as you don't make her choose in between you and the restaurant, it'll be okay.

In-Laws: Younger twin sister Sae, who currently helps to run the Aoiya in Kyoto. You know the bond in between twins is one kind that proves to be impossible to break, but while you treat Tae-oneesan right, it's a deal with Sae. Kenshin-gumi also will be around quite often.

Finances: Pretty good. She has her own business, remember, and the Akebeko is very popular. So she's expected to have more yens than the average. You better also keep your job or help her in Akabeko fully.

Sex: Much the normal and nice type in bed, a little shy at the start, not exotic but eager to please. And we all feel she deserves to be highly pleased by you as well.

Overall: If you're successful to get a bit of her attention out of her business at Akabeko, you should take Tae and never look back. With her capacity for hard work and tenderness, she'll be more than a worthwhile catch, and doubtlessly a devoted and loving companion for the rest of your life.
