True Neutral: Difference between revisions

* Most of the characters in ''[[Ranma One Half½]]'' are [[Chaotic Neutral]] (with the more villainy-inclined being [[Neutral Evil]]), but Cologne is [[True Neutral]], after an initial stint of behavior that can be seen as [[Neutral Evil]]. While initially entering the series in an attempt to make [[Accidental Marriage|Ranma]] marry [[Hot Amazon|Shampoo]], she basically gives up after that first story and more or less settles for watching the madness with every sign of joy at the entertainment, occasionally chipping in with aid for either Ranma, Shampoo or [[The Rival|Ryoga Hibiki]]. [[Yamato Nadeshiko|Kasumi Tendo]] is generally considered to be [[Neutral Good]], mainly because she is totally non-violent and very docile (not to mention [[Word of God]] describing her as a "saint" because of her lack of violent behavior and active malice). However, niceness does not equate goodness (hence the existence of the [[Affably Evil]] (where someone manages to be very nice despite being a villain), [[Faux Affably Evil]] (where someone is a villain, even a [[Complete Monster]], yet still manages to be good-humored and pleasant) and [[Good Is Not Nice]] (where someone is unpleasant, yet still a fundamentally decent person) tropes) and it's legitimately possible to see her as a sweet-hearted and gentle [[True Neutral]] of types 2, 10 or 12.
