While not getting as much limelight as major characters like Shinra Kusakabe or many other characters in the series, Tamaki made her presence known during the Rekka Hoshimiya incident. Ever since then, she left the 1st company and joined the 8th company, which led to her becoming a prominent figure in the episodes and manga chapters that followed.

Tamaki is one of the friendlier characters, showing kindness toward others, especially members of her Special Fire Force company and children. Despite her kindness, she is also shown to be extremely loud and boastful in several instances throughout the series.

She is notably clumsy, often losing her clothing and ending up in humiliating and intimate scenarios, which she blames on her "Lucky Lecher Lure." She has often been shown to blame others for her situation after being embarrassed by her situation. Additionally, she has been shown to be annoyed when other lower-ranked Fire Soldiers confront her seniors, as seen during Shinra and Leonard Burns' segment.

Her insecurities and second-guessing nature toward her own powers and abilities are also shown in the series. She eventually overcomes these doubts after training with Hinata and Hikage under Company 7's captain, Shinmon Benimaru. It was also hinted that Tamaki had feelings for Shinra, which were ultimately not explored. This created a tsundere personality angle for her character.
