* {{Otaku}}: [[InvokedTrope Invoked.]] Not only she is a bit of one, her music is made to [CompellingVoice cater to]] them.

--> Maybe there is [[TitleDrop a digital]] [[EnthrallingSiren girl (cue laugh)]]

* SayItWithHearts: You can see it in many quotes in this page.

!! Tropes that apply to her and/or her music
* AllLovingHero, FriendToAllLivingThings: Her ''Sunset Rhythm'' track's bandcamp profits are dedicated to a rainforest conservation effort.
--> 100% of Bandcamp sales will go to Rainforest Trust, a nonprofit environmental organization, in conservation efforts to protect our Amazon rainforest. ♥
** Also visible in ''[[https://youtu.be/ObmGWDcYW84 Taipei]]'' where's she shows she's a very together person !
** She also is vegetarian, member of the "Sprout Gang"
* BandageBabe: A subdued, but [[https://twitter.com/skyerocket/status/1251630856243945475 significant example]]

* CosplayOtakuGirl: She has a few cosplays... Like [[https://twitter.com/IAMTOFUKU/status/1182103969562165249 a booette one]] she calls "tofette" !
--> [[InherentlyFunnyWords tofette ( • ̀ω•́ )]]
* CuteClumsyGirl: Believes [[https://twitter.com/tofiemusic/status/1251669084392943616 to be one~]]
* TheCutie: All of her music is intentionally cute. Her first single was called ''Sunrise Cutie'' ! And she herself is no slouch on the cuteness either (just see her twitter).
* [[DeepImmersionGaming Deep Immersion ̶G̶a̶m̶i̶n̶g̶]] '''[[DeepImmersionGaming Vibing]]''': In the interview, she said she wants to immerse people in "a different place to go [than] the clouds".
* FunPersonified: Tofie is very motivational by herself, due to all the cuteness and happiness.
* GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: Most if not all of her music explicitly aims (see Otaku) to overload the listener with feelings of happiness and love.
* GibberishOfLove: In ''Sunrise Cutie'' around 2:00, she even tries to convey happiness with a wordless voice solo. Also present in ''Wonderland'' from 1:14, where she playfully scrambles her words and [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound youyouyous]] you.
* GlacierWaif: She was a bodybuilder for a year and a half !
* GreenThumb: She grows vegetables.
* HiveMind: In ''Sunset Rhythm'', she invites her "darling" listeners to take their loads off and sing along. A few shared notes are all it takes for her to say...

* HiveQueen: ...though she'd probably reject the idea of hierarchy.
* KissMeIAmVirtual: She prides herself on giving two-dimensional dreams to her listeners, and often uses slightly-robotic and sampled voices (like in ''babygirl''), or even [[MotorMouth multiple voices of herself at the same time]] (like in ''Sunrise Cutie''). And then there's ''[[UpToEleven Digital Girl]]'' ♡~...
* LaughOfLove: Also very present. Tofie giggles cutely in almost every track of hers (at the opportune times your heart would be swayed, of course).
* LoveFreak
* LustfulMelt: Of sorts. In her Halo Halo interview, she said she chops her voice/words into a homogenous, lovely and warm "word soup" of "melted words".
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Invoked. Very visible in ''Sunrise Cutie'' with the background voices, ''Taipei'' with the ''togetherness'', and especially in ''Digital Girl'' as she seem to drag along the listener in her world.
--> Welcome to my two dimensional world
--> I don't mind coming out to play
* {{Meganekko}}, though she removes her glasses to take some photos.
* MellowFellow: In ''Sunrise Cutie'', at 3:25 she goes "Hey, slow down," then the music and vocals slows down. Cue AudioErotica.
* {{Otaku}}: [[InvokedTrope Invoked.]] Not only she is a bit of one, her music is made to [CompellingVoice cater to]] them !

** Real Love Music understood the aesthetic for their ''[[https://youtu.be/E90uQoue_iU babygirl]]'' video.
** UpToEleven: It even netted her a WebAnimation/KizunaAI fan [[https://twitter.com/IAMTOFUKU/status/1186804572972388352 as psychiatrist]]
* ThePollyanna: Even if she gets tired and works hard, she still sends wholesome messages.

* TheTease: In ''[[https://youtu.be/fe1XGZw1us8 Digital Girl]]'', even if she's the one singing, she still lures the listener with the possibility that...

** We [[https://twitter.com/IAMTOFUKU/status/1203856557433163777 "don't deserve this big celery"]]
* UptightLovesWild: She sure likes to take the initiative and drag the listener into activities !
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Lilac hair, at times.
* {{Yukionna}}: Wonderland kinds of alludes to it (especially with the cover art), and of course Tofie's take is [[BenevolentMonsters very benevolent]], wishing snowflakes to carry strength to her friends.

There is also a [[https://www.halohalopodcast.com/1 Halo Halo podcast (the first!) interview of her laying around~]]

* {{Otaku}}: [[InvokedTrope Invoked.]] Not only she is a bit of one, her music is made to [[CompellingVoice s̶e̶d̶u̶c̶e̶]] [[CompellingVoice ''cater to'']] them !

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Goes without saying. Her cover arts are as cutesy as her songs are adorable.

* GreenThumb: She also grows vegetables...
** AllWomenAreLustful: ...and ''[[https://twitter.com/IAMTOFUKU/status/1183966731112337408 they grow big for her]]''.
---> [picture of a suspiciously long eggplant] in awe at [[VisualInnuendo the size of this lad]].......

* AngstWhatAngst: Wonderland is a slightly melancholic dedicated to her lost friends R, H, O and J (cited by initials), but is still a pretty playful, sweet and sensual song.

* FridgeHorror: To think that [[https://twitter.com/tofiemusic/status/1215407252489654272 someone, even for a moment, abused her.]]

* InspirationForTheWork
** Citrus Kiss comes from the time she played VideoGame/KatamariDamacy with Tiny Waves.
The aesthetics of Literature/{{Paprika}} and Anime/FlipFlappers, and the work of [[Music/NickBertke Pogo]] are big inspirations to her.
** ''Sunrise Cutie'''s beginning comes from ''Venus as a Boy'' from Music/{{Bjork}}.
** Her family in from Taipei and their reunion inspired her to make ''Taipei''.

* MeltingLove: Literal. In her Halo Halo interview, she said she chops her voice/words into a homogenous, lovely and warm "word soup" of "melted words".
* OldShame: Used to make jazz covers (in an old account?).
