The Swordsman and The Gunslinger/Characters
The characters from the Fruits Basket Alternate Universe Fic The Swordsman and The Gunslinger.
Kyo Sohma
- The Atoner: He isn't too proud of his past.
- Badass: And how. Much more so than his canon counterpart.
- Fish Out of Water: Very much so. He even acknowledges this.
- The Hero
- Hot-Blooded: Even though he stays calm most of the time, he can get very angry
- Just Like Robin Hood: He is first seen helping some railroad workers with abusive foremen.

- Samurai: Even though he's technically not one, he does come from a samurai family.
Jimmy Michaels
- The American Civil War: Part of his backstory.
- The Atoner: Ditto.
- Badass: His badassitude is less pronounced than Kyo's but it's still prominent. Shooting and breaking two katanas with a rifle musket is a good indicator.
- The Drifter: Well, former drifter, anyway.
- The Gunslinger: He's the titular gunslinger, types 1 and 4.
- Halfbreed: He's Irish and Cherokee. But he's 4/5 Irish, so more like a Four-Fifths Breed.
- Handsome Lech: When he kisses karen.
- Heroic Sociopath: He's implied to be one, but he is also an atoner
- Hot-Blooded: He's usually low-key, but given the right moment, he can get pretty excited.
- The Lancer
Karen McKenzie
- Action Girl
- The Gunslinger: She wields a shotgun.
- Lady of War
- The Smart Guy
- Ship Tease: With Jimmy.

- Excpet when she slaps him after he kisses her in chapter 8.
Tohru Honda
- Action Girl: Unlike her canon counterpart.
- The Chick
- Lady of War
- Official Couple: If getting engaged pre-story counts, then she and Kyo are the Official Couple.
- Took a Level in Badass: Again, compared to her canon counterpart.
- Yamato Nadeshiko: This of course, is pretty much unchanged from her canon counterpart.
