Line 157:
=== Washu Hakubi ===
==== Voice Actors: [[Yuko Kobayashi]] (Japanese), Kate T. Vogt (English) ====
A mad scientist with various origins throughout the franchise. Is fairly childish and prone to fights with Ryoko, though not as much as Ayeka. Her inventions defy laws of physics and can often serve as plot points due his irresponsibility or deusexmachinadeus ex machina.
 
* [[Abusive Parents|Abusive Mom]]: In the OVA (where she created Ryoko), she once straps Ryoko into an apparently escape-proof lab-table, turns off the lights and then runs off and hides. Ryoko is so afraid of being trapped alone in the dark that she starts crying and pleading for Washu to come back and rescue her. Washu is not only well aware of how badly this scares Ryoko, but is actually just around the corner, gleefully taping Ryoko's cries for "mommy".
Line 171:
* [[Compressed Hair]]: How does she get all that pink hair under that little green cap in episode 12, anyway?
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Even in her child form, she's capable of lifting a heavy chair and punching through solid concrete. In the manga, she even suplexes her [[Evil Counterpart]]. Would count as a [[Genius Bruiser]] if she was more muscular. But then again, [[Muscles Are Meaningless]] when you've got the power to shape the universe.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Had a diminished role in both the ''Tenchi Universe'' and ''Tenchi in Tokyo'' series, to the point where she barely had an impact in the second half of both shows until their respective finales.
* [[God Was My Co-Pilot]]
* [[Green Eyes]]
* [[Immortal Immaturity]]: For all of [[Hypocrite|her criticism]] of [[Adult Child|Ryoko]], it's clear on occasion that Washu's [[Jerkass|just as lacking in the maturity department if not moresomore so]]--and not just because of her [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|youthful disguise.]]
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: "No! I'm not gonna help you unless you call me Little Washu!" (Washu-Chan in the Japanese version).
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Occasionally bordering on [[Jerkass]], but she is mostly a nice and caring, if very quirky, person.
Line 180:
* [[Moment Killer]]: In the final episode of ''Tenchi in Tokyo''. Ryoko strangles her for ruining her moment.
* [[Naughty Nurse Outfit]]: In OAV 7 for her... experiments on Tenchi. And then [[Moment Killer|Mihoshi walks in the lab...]]
* [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]]: By her own words, she's created things from Ryoko to Souja, so she has a grasp of everything from genetics to engineering. She's also good at medicine if the infamous [[Hospital Hottie|'"Nurse Washu'"]] scene is any indication.
* [[The Omnipotent]]
* [[Rape Is OK When It Is Female On Male]]: See NightOAV Nurse7.
* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]: Depending on the official artwork, her hair ranges from light pink to dark pink.
* [[She's All Grown Up]]: Looks like aan early-teen girl, but has an adult form that is breathtakingly beautiful. {{spoiler|And her Goddess, which is essentially her adult form with a [[Pimped-Out Dress]], fits what you'd expect from a [[Physical God]](ess)}}.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Every once in a while, especially when she's trying to wheedle something out of someone, English-dub Washu copies [[Shirley Temple]]'s distinctive "pouty" voice.
* [[Super Intelligence]]
* [[Truly Single Parent]]: Of Ryoko, whowhom she created using one of her eggs and the [http://tenchi.wikia.com/wiki/Mass Mass], a sentient alien species.
