Tamaki is a vampire that comes off as very shy, aloof, depressed, "intimidating", and introverted, especially around audiences. But, in truth, he very easily gets scared or nervous when talking to other people. If his shyness and anxiety gets the best of him, he will often face away and lean into a wall to hide his face from others. Despite being a Pureblood Vampire, Tamaki is very socially awkward and lacks confidence in himself. He feels overwhelmed by the pressure to be perfect, due to this.
