User:David A/Hinako Characterisation Reference

Hinako:

25.3: Cracked down on 3 bad schools before coming to Furinkan. Hired by principal Kuno specifically to take care of Ranma Saotome. Annoyed when the latter accidentally stomps her unconscious. Determined to stop a ‘delinquent’ Happosai from stealing underwear, when the latter is wearing a boy’s school uniform.

25.4: Proudly poses on top of the fallen Happosai. Oblivious to Ranma’s entreats to teach him the chi-draining technique.

25.5: Defends herself from Shampoo, Ukyo & Kodachi, but is confused by their claims of being engaged to Ranma. Invites Akane to a restaurant to ask her if Ranma is a lady-killer. Annoyed by the interfering irate ‘fiancés’ and clobbers them unconscious again. Arrogantly thinks it’s natural that he’d fall for a real woman like herself. Feels sorry for Shampoo, Kodachi & Ukyo for ‘being toyed with by Saotome’, despite just receiving a life threat. Eats very sloppily in child form. Attacks and smugly drains Ranma, to ‘punish him for being an insensitive lady-killer’ despite the latter standing still and not attacking.

25.6: Thinks Ranma is molesting her when he tries to push the 5 pressure points that negate her ability in self-defence. Shown on a friendly basis with regular students. Notices when Ranma tries to ambush her from behind. Thinks that it’s natural that she ‘so much woman’ that he’d fall for her, and enthusiastically tells everyone she meets that he’s sexually disturbed. Thinks Ranma loses control whenever he sees a woman and must be punished.

25.7: Disappointed when Ranma doesn’t show up in gym class, since she planned to finish him off. Easily tricked by Ukyo, by faking remorse. Again tricked by Ukyo & Kodachi. Very obtuse to that anything is wrong until prolonged overt attacks (all intercepted by Ranma). Hysteric about being disarmed from her coins but tricks them into the range of a basketball hoop.

25.8: Very smug about being ‘victorious’ and prepares to drain her unconscious opponent until they have no fighting spirit left whatsoever (death?/permanently cripple?/unable to fight for life?). Smugly amused about being challenged by Ranma-chan.

25.9: Shocked and enraged that ‘Saotome isn’t just a lady-killer, he’s a cross-dresser as well’. Revealed that Happosai taught Hinako the technique as a means to make her healthy when a sickly child, and help him get away easier during panty raids, but seems to have forgotten it in present day. Revises her opinion of Ranma after he proved persistent enough to beat her, and hit the pressure points. Happosai reveals that the procedure must be repeated for a month to remove the ability.

27.1: Friendly with regular students. Drains Ranma & Kuno for fighting at school, then drains Kuno completely for asking her on a date. Declares in class that she’s looking for a local place to stay. Decides to follow Akane home to talk with Ranma’s father about seeing to that he stops fighting in school. Distracted and starts to hunt a ‘cute’ cat. Saddened when she gets lost. Happy when Soun shows ‘Akane’s friend’ the way to the Tendo house and gives her some candy. Thinks Akane’s father is really nice. Forgets about house hunting when seeing the ‘cute’ panda. Repeatedly drains Ranma to be able to talk to Soun and enquire if he has a wife, but gets distracted by watching ‘giant robot’ anime and forgets about talking to Ranma’s father. Thinks it’s cool that his father is a panda and continues to harass Genma. Overjoyed when Soun invites ‘Akane’s friend’ to stay over the night. Asks Akane if she wants a mother.

27.2: Prepares breakfast ‘as is a mother’s duty’, but turns out to be a junk food eater and horrible cook. Tries to drain Ranma to say goodbye to Mr. Tendo, but feels sorry about accidentally catching Soun instead, and suggests that it must feel empty without a wife. When overhearing that Ranma & Akane think she’s doomed to fail she declares that she’ll propose in a week. Prefers junk food like pizza to nourishing meals. Turns very sad and runs away after Nabiki, Ranma & Akane tell her that a week has gone by, that she should stick to teaching, that she’s just laying around watching TV, that they don’t need more of that, and that she has no chance becoming Soun’s wife. Muses that it’s the story of her life to put things off until it’s too late, but decides to propose after she sees Soun come home. Drains Ranma but ends up in a compromising position after he resists and wakes everyone else up. Mortified and submissive when Soun seems to think they have a relationship, but happy after the latter assumes its all Ranma’s fault and apologises as the master of the household.

27.3: Tries to ask Soun to marry her but runs out of aura at the last moment and runs away to power up. Determined to get in despite ‘keep away’ signs and barricaded doors. Unconvinced by the lie of a far too young Ranma-chan being their mother, and when the entire family seems united against her she resorts to bribing Nabiki and goes away on a date with Soun, happy to finally be without interference from the ‘rotten kids’. Embarrassed when asking him to marry her, to get aggravated when Ranma-chan knocks him out. Touched when she sees Soun’s dedication to his dead wife and decides to let him be, but still comes to visit for watching TV.

27.11: Tells her class that if whoever stole their tests immediately confesses she won’t reveal their identity. She’s initially suspicious of Ranma, despite finding the principal’s signature ukulele and pineapples on the crime scene. Ditzily teases Ranma about being stupid, but forgot what she graded his score as.

30.5: Concerned about being too ditzy in child form to be a proper educator. Overjoyed about finding ‘battle-fish’ which enable her to be an adult all the time. Concerned that Ranma always gives her a hard time and thinks he may hate her. Lives like a complete slob at her apartment, which is in a disordered mess. Eats junk food and watches sentai shows.

30.6: Reveals that she used the fish to lure Ranma to her apartment so she could give him remedial English lessons. Feels hurt after Ranma just feigned to appreciate her concern for his success as a student to incapacitate her battle-fish and turn her into a ditzy child, but by the time Ranma changes his mind it turns out that being in adult form for too long overtaxes her body and makes her return to ditzy child mentality.

31.7: Compassionate towards Akane and decides to help her learn to swim, but it turns out that she can’t do it either. Thinks it’s good practise to have a competition in who learns first. Again conceited over her adult form’s incredibly good looks. Repeatedly sucks her student’s battle-auras to use it as propulsion fuel.

31.11: On a deserted island, disappointed at not being assaulted by ‘aloha virus’-ridden males like the other girls and sucks battle-aura to be attractive. Thinks it was exciting to beat them up. Gets frantic when the zombie-like lust-crazed horde approaches, while telling everyone not to panic. Again disappointed at not being molested like the others.

33.8: She’s righteously determined to help her students by taking care of an Ema destroying horse (School student Shinto wish note), but is swiftly distracted. She takes care of it, but is oblivious that she was the one who angered it in the first place.

34.2: Ditzily wants Valentine’s chocolate (to eat) from all the romantic couples.
