Ranma ½/Characters/Other Recurring Characters: Difference between revisions

** It's made more complicated by the fact Genma claims that, before he took the cart while abandoning Ukyo, he asked Ranma which he liked better; okonimyaki, or Ukyo. Keep in mind that this is ''Genma'' we're talking about, meaning he may have been lying to shift most of the blame to Ranma. Even if it's true, he not only distracted Ranma beforehand with an okonimyaki, but was asking a little kid the answer to a question he wouldn't have understood even if he had been aware that Ukyo was actually a girl.

* [[Covert Pervert]]: A mild case. If someone she likes calls her cute, asks her if she likes him, takes the initiative, or such, she easily turns blushing, flustered and [[Comedic Sociopathy]] awkwardness-whacking prone. - "Oooh I'm so embarrassed!" (Runs away). However, if ''she'' feels like taking the initiative, she can get almost as lecherous as Shampoo - "Move your finger from that photograph! I want to see his **** !"; "Remember when we slept together as kids? Hurry over!" (Drooling); "Hi, I just decided to barge in on you in the bath. Now let your buddy Ucchan scrub your body all over! Don't be shy... hey where are you running off to?" - This, and the constant romantic fantasies, is the reason why almost nobody doubts her raging heterosexuality, despite the cross-dressing.

* [[Exotic Weapon Supremacy]]: Spatulas and noodles are pretty deadly in her hands.

* [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]: Subverted. She's a tomboy but is every bit as good as Kasumi in the kitchen.

* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Due to Ranma's bond with Akane.

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: She dressed up in male clothing as a symbol of the fact Ranma had "ruined her womanhood". Though she continues to dress in a rather masculine fashion after joining the regular cast, she does enjoy wearing feminine clothes when she has the opportunity and is quite emphatically straight.

** Admittedly, the most widely-recognized moments when she's hit Ranma for affectionate behavior, the end of her introduction story and during the Reversal Jewel, do have extenuating circumstances. In the former, she was still mad at him, as she'd only just found him after ten years spent bearing a grudge. In the latter, she slapped Ranma for demanding she say she love him... because he was forcing her to say so mere moments after she had demanded to know the truth behind the rumors that he was plotting to confess his love for Shampoo, rumors that he refused to deny before doing so.
