Our Heroes
Akane Tendo
Akane Tendo of the Tendo training hall, loves martial arts above almost anything else. Her father, Soun Tendo, promised his friend Genma that Ranma could marry one of Soun's three daughters when they were of a suitable age. Akane's sisters, seeing Ranma's habit of becoming a girl periodically, determined that Akane should be the one to marry Ranma, since Akane was not interested in boys.
She is something of a tomboy, intelligent, and quick tempered. She is devoted to her family and loves them all very much. She also loves Ranma, though her pride would never admit such a thing out loud (except under the influence of the Reversal Gem). She hates the fact that Ranma is so successful with the ladies and is often jealous of her female rivals. However, she is often too busy fighting off the rivals for her own love to concern herself with what Ranma does. Akane is a good and true friend with a sensitive, generous, and loving heart, and she is the only woman who is quick-witted and sarcastic enough to give Ranma a run for his money and challenge him enough to encourage him to fulfill all of his promise.
Sounds:
I'm Akane...do you want to be friends?
There's a pervert in the bathroom!
Ranma Saotome
Ranma Saotome, son of Genma, is a gifted martial artist in the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts. While on a training mission in China with his father, he fell into the Nyaniichuan (the Spring of Drowned Girl). Because of this accident, when doused with cold water, Ranma becomes Ranma-chan, a redheaded girl.
As a child, he was betrothed to Akane Tendo, the daughter of his father's best friend. Ranma is hot-tempered and proud, but has a good spirit and a generous heart. His feelings for Akane ("that tomboy") have never been made explicit, yet are clear. He is dedicated to the success and happiness of his family and friends and would defend all of them to the death. The current goal of his heart is to visit another Nyaniichuan in the hopes of ridding himself of the female form.
Sounds:
I'm going back to China.
I think this really sucks.
Akane is *my* fiance!
