And Tohru's absolutely LOVELY by the way. She's a great idol, and personally I think there's nothing wrong with looking up to a fictitious role model. I read this little essay thing a while back on deviantART about Lloyd, of Tales of Symphonia fame, and how his character and dialogue really got through to this chick and helped her rise above her depression, and I thought it was just brilliant.

Keep in mind, this is from somebody whose absolute mission in life is to create something like that that will reach out to people who have nobody to turn to and feel they have nothing left.
