Tamae Honami (Honami Tamae, 穂波 たまえ) is a female character and best friend of Maruko from the Japanese manga and anime series Chibi Maruko Chan.

With regard to the amiability well established between the two, she is always referred to as Tama-chan by Maruko.

Appearance[]

Tamae has dark brown hair often styled into two separate braids, with her bangs separated to the left and right following her middle hairline. She always wears round glasses that hide her pupils, which show on some occasions.

She wears a light blue long-sleeved shirt with a white collar, a dark blue skirt, white socks and yellow shoes.

Personality[]

Tamae has a very kind and warm nature, and is always polite to other characters. There are times when she becomes sensitive enough to cry when she feels emotionally distressed, or become angry, when she sees others (often boys) misbehaving. Due to the zany inclinations of her father, always obsessed with taking photos of anything which catches his interest, she often finds herself in situations demanding that she yell at him to stop.

However, and sometimes, she has an manifestation of inner emotions, representing Tamae's actual opinion on things when she outwardly displays something different, and named herself as "Tammy" (タミー), in which she has a completely different costume while were she is in a place that presumably is the Swiss Alps.

Hobbies & Talents[]

Tamae shows interest in feminine activities, which include dress-up or role playing with Maruko and viewing flowers together on their way to/from school.

Tamae is indubitably apt in playing the piano and recorder, and is disposed to receiving high marks for both class assignments and assessments. This disposition of hers is unequivocally disparate to that of Maruko, who, having cognitive capacities only incident to that of her personage, falls short in these instances.
