Geocache Description:

I am shy and like to hide espally in womans clothing. I am near the Zoo hiding by my friends.

These caches are based on the manga Fruit Basket. Fruit Baskets is about a girl named Tohru Honda. Tohru's mother would always tell Her daughter about the tale of the zodiac.

The legend Chinese Zodiac says that 13 animals were invited to a banquet with God, but one of these, the Cat, was tricked into missing the banquet by the Rat, and therefore was not included in the Chinese Zodiac. When he was not included, the spirit of the cat the other 12 animals curse the Sohma family. So when someone who is cursed is hugged by the opposite gender, they turn into there zodiac form, also called there cursed form. With this they must always live under the rule of god! Anyway Tohru finds out bout here curse and a world of trouble happens along with some good things.

Ritsu Sohma is a fictional character in the manga and anime series entitled Fruits Basket. He transforms into the monkey of the Chinese Zodiac whenever he is hugged by the opposite gender or when his body comes under a great deal of stress. Ritsu's name is derived from the eighth month of the Japanese lunar calender, Odakaritsuki, or "rice harvest month".Ritsu is an insecure character who dresses in women's clothing to conceal his feelings of inadequacy. He believes that because he sees himself as not particularly intelligent or physically powerful, he brings disgrace upon the Sohma family. He is constantly apologizing for his actions, even when he is not at fault. He can also be suicidal and has a certain spot on his side that makes him faint; Shigure Sohma takes advantage of it quite often, calling it 'the magic touch'. Ritsu's insecurity likely derived from his childhood constantly witnessing his parents, particularly his mother, continually apologizing for Ritsu's faults. His mother, while hardworking and dedicated to running the Sohma family's onsen hotel, was easily stressed and had a tendency to overact. Witnessing his mother working and his parents apologizing constantly impacted his character greatly and Ritsu soon began exhibiting these traits as well. In hopes of overcoming his lack of self-esteem (perhaps thinking rather ambitiously in hoping to become more like his cousin, Ayame), he decides to meet with Tohru Honda, who helped the shy Kisa Sohma overcome her problems as well as other members of the Jyunishi. Ritsu is also one of the few members of the Jyunishi who has never been hurt by Akito Sohma directly or indirectly (Kagura Sohma and Ayame Sohma appear to be the only other ones). This is both surprising and a blessing given that Ritsu tends to dress and act very feminine (a fact that Akito would not tolerate given that she despises the female members of the Zodiac, claiming them to be "stealing" the males away.), especially given the fact that Ritsu lacks confidence. He also is extremely gullible believing all of Shigure's tricks.
