Tomato Purée

About
Tomato was a shopkeeper working in the free city of Kathtom of the Free Cities Alliance, but later quit this position to become an adventurer.

Being the owner of the only item shop in Kathtom, Tomato aids Rance in his quest to save Kathtom by selling him various weapons, armors, and items. She has a Mimic pet named "Mimi" and a bonsai that resembles medusa's snake-hairs.

During the events of Rance 02, Tomato asks Rance to find Mimi's mother and reunite them. She promises to reward him with an expensive weapon upon completing the request, but Rance chose to have sex with her instead. Thanks to her weird and immature personality, however, Rance didn't finish the job as he was turned off by her.

In Rance 02 Kai her personality is somewhat different, frequently aggravating Rance by wording most sentences, even declarative sentences, as a question. In this version of the script, when Rance attempts to assault Tomato she reacts alarmingly, scaring Rance into stopping with the threat of exploding or dying. The aforementioned reward from finding Mimi's mom is still sex, however Tomato reveals she at some point became frigid, meaning Rance could not arouse her no matter what. She ultimately does not reveal what it was that led her to become frigid, reacting with an enigmatic mix of expressions when asked.

She re-appears in Rance Quest as a recruitable party member. For whatever reason, Tamato's skills cost one point more than normal to purchase or level up.
