Taurtis

Taurtis is the second main character of the Yandere High School series.

Appearance
Taurtis is Japanese with tan skin. He has black eyes and short, wavy black hair.

He always wears a pair of headphones, which he claims actually work, that are black with a red and blue checkered design. He also always wears wristbands on both of his wrists that are red and blue as well.

Taurtis rarely wears the school uniform, but when he does it's the classic beige jacket with white button-down shirt and blue tie and jeans. However, he adds his classic suspenders above the required uniform. He does the same with Tokyo Soul's blue jacket and white button-down shirt and black tie and black pants.

Taurtis' casual clothes is what he appears in the most, a blue shirt with a white trim under a pair of black suspenders. On the back of the shirt, he has a "T" that's half blue and half red to match his headphones. He completes the look with black pants and black sneakers.

Personality
Taurtis is a very friendly person and very charismatic. He gets along with most people and he loves cracking jokes. He is a lot more of a pacifist than his two lead counterparts, Grian and Sam, and is a lot more trusting of the people around him.

He is shown to be forgetful as he usually forgets to do his homework for school, and he is shown to not be the smartest, especially compared to his two friends.

Sam
Sam and Taurtis have been best friends since they were 5, and have assumedly been friends throughout. They seem to get along most times, though Taurtis doesn't like Sam's aggressive behavior. Sam appears to be obsessed with Taurtis and slowly goes insane whenever Taurtis is not around. Sam has a strange attachment towards Taurtis and stays with him the most he can and is actively upset whenever he is away.

Grian
Taurtis has an overall positive relationship with Grian. They both like to playfully flirt with each other, where they have arguments about who gets to be the little spoon, or with Grian being the "maiden" that Taurtis needs to save when Taurtis is fighting an alien. Grian expresses that he really cares about Taurtis and goes with Sam to look for a "replacement" Taurtis in another dimension.

Yuki
Since the start of the series, Yuki has expressed an interest in Taurtis, for example only buying cookies from Sam if she was buying from Taurtis. She also killed Gareth's wife after Taurtis made a suggestive comment about her, and she killed Salex when she found out that Taurtis was dating her. After Yuki and Taurtis start to hang out more, she can be seen frequently smelling his hair, and she reacted in a concerning manner after Taurtis asked her to prom, hyperventilating and shaking. After Sam and Taurtis dump her at prom, she appears to have lost interest in Taurtis and instead goes after Sam. For a period of time, Taurtis is convinced that Karu is his father since Karu made a passing joke of saying "my son", which in turn made Taurtis believe that Yuki is his sister.

Chan
Taurtis and Chan don't interact much, until Yuki tells Taurtis that Chan is Salex's murderer. After they send Chan to jail and when she gets out, Grian asks Chan to prom, and he stands her up. Because of this, Taurtis feels bad and asks Chan to prom, which she excitedly accepts. It is earlier implied that Chan had a crush on Taurtis earlier, as she previously rejected Grian because she said she had a crush on someone already. After prom, Chan and Taurtis date, and Chan appears to be incredibly in love with Taurtis. They remain a couple until Taurtis leaves for Tokyo for the Witness Protection Program.

Salex
Salex was Taurtis' first girlfriend, whom he met in gym class as they are in a different class. He goes on a date with her to the movie theaters and the two seem to hit it off. They go to the town and learn from Ellen that she will get hit by a car one day, because of this Taurtis walks her home, where they share a goodnight kiss. The next day, Salex is run over by a car driven by Yuki's dad, Karu. Once Salex has passed, she tells Taurtis that she had always loved him. Once Yuki is dead, she thanks Taurtis for avenging her death, and she gives him a sweet kiss as she moves on. Taurtis is still clearly hung up on her throughout the series, and despises when Sam makes insensitive jokes about her passing. He also became paranoid whenever crossing the street because of his trauma over the incident.

Gareth
Taurtis seems to be the only person that Gareth actively dislikes. After Taurtis makes a comment about Jane, asking if she was single now, Gareth is deeply insulted and continues to stalk Taurtis afterwards. There is a scene where the ghost of Salex explains how she always loved him, to which Gareth adds that he didn't, insinuating that Gareth truly didn't like Taurtis. Once Gareth is a ghost, he continues to harrass Taurtis and accuses him of killing his wife. Once it is revealed that Yuki was the murderer all along, Gareth seems to finally forgive Taurtis and gets rid of his grudge.
