Roma Hoito

Roma Hoito (帆糸 ロマ, Hoito Roma) is a ghoul and former waitress at Anteiku.

Appearance
Roma has a slim build and a childlike demeanour, she frequently wears her red hair in a spiky bun with bangs framing her face. While posing as a waitress in Antieku she wore the standard uniform but as a clown she wears more realign clothes with a circus theme.

Roma's ghoul mask is a clown-themed mask that covers the upper half of her face. It resembles a cartoon depiction of a rabbit or some sort of rodent, with a round nose and protruding incisors. The mask sports two large circular drawn eyes, with a star around the left eye.

Personality
Roma at first appears to be a clumsy and absent-minded woman who's often scolded by Nishiki when she ends up breaking things.

When revealed that she's a clown her personality appears as more sadistic and uncaring, shrugging off Kaneki's disappearance, saying that she desires a more 'depressing' scene and gleefully auctioning off innocent humans. She described Kaneki after the Aogiri incident as "beautiful," and finds his perseverance very attractive.

During the CCG's auction raid she showed no regard for human life and enjoyed toying with the CCG investigators, pretending to be weak and harmless to lure them in, then manifested her kagune through her stomach, seemingly feeling no pain while doing so.

Raid of Kanou's Lab
She transferred to Anteiku from the neighboring 19th Ward upon hearing Kaneki's act of carnage in the 7th Ward's Ghoul Restaurant, hoping that she will meet him.

Anteiku Raid
After the Owl Suppression Operation, she along with the other members of the Clowns celebrate Kaneki's reported death at HySy ArtMask Studio.

Nutcracker investigations
Roma and Nico observe the Quinx Squad from a distance, recognizing their disguised leader as Haise Sasaki. Disgusted by his apparent happiness and idyllic life, she wishes for Haise's "death" to restore the old, troubled Kaneki that she admires. Her companion criticizes her twisted interests, but mentions the fun they'll be having at the upcoming Auction.

Auction
Roma attends the Auction as part of the entertainment, performing comedic acts along with Ganbo for the amusement of the audience. She is joined on stage by Uta, who serves as the Auctioneer for the main event. While he auctions off the human goods, Roma provides mocking commentary and taunts the victims.

When Juuzou Suzuya reveals himself and begins attacking, Roma quickly flees the stage. She later stumbles across the squad led by Take Hirako and Nobu Shimoguchi, and is immediately attacked by Shunichi Shibashi. Nearly sliced in half, she collapses and begins crying for help, luring Shunichi close before killing and eating him. When the rest of the squad attacks, she flees again and hides behind Uta.

She later interferes with Uta and Hirako's fight but Kuramoto Itou together with Takeomi Kuroiwa stop her in time, as ordered by their squad leader. She then immediately attacks Kuramoto and invites him to play. Before the S3 squad can enter the fight against them, she escapes with Uta.

Nico
They are both members of the Clowns. They appear to have a friendly relationship, as they attend parties together and would chat casually.

Souta
They are both members of the Clowns, it's assumed they get on well as Souta's been seen tickling her and teasing her about Kaneki but their relationship hasn't been explored further.

Uta
Uta and Roma are part of the Clown group. They are on friendly terms; Uta is slightly concerned about her safety, as shown when he cautions her to watch out against her opponents due to their strength.

Abilities
The true extent of Roma's abilities are unclear as she has not yet been shown fighting seriously, however she's an SS-rated ghoul and has slaughtered countless investigators with ease.
 * Kagune: Roma possesses a kagune which appears to be made up of several bone like objects tied together. She's shown to be able to create up to eight to nine of these with ease, and can send them into the ground to surprise opponents from unexpected angles. From its appearance, it is either a Rinkaku or a Bikaku.

Trivia

 * In Tokyo Ghoul Trump, she's featured as the "Eight of Spades".
