User:David A/Ukyo Characterisation Reference

9.5: Attacks Genma in intense sadness and anger over leaving her behind, and prevails through a surprise lightning strike. Upset when Ranma doesn't remember anything beyond fighting her for free okonomiyaki every day as a child. When he tells her that he doesn't care, let bygones be bygones and to be a man she challenges him to a duel.

9.6. She doesn't want to listen to Ranma's attempts to become friends again, since he's constantly making her see red by obliviously calling her a guy. Ruthlessly assaults him with a hot grill and gunpowder tempura flakes. Flees before an overwhelmingly strong maddened Ranma, but is provoked into ineffectually trying again when called a man. Cries in defeat and exposed as a girl.

9.7: Reveals that she was engaged to Ranma and then immediately dumped. She was turned into an outcast and dedicated herself to her art and for revenge. Learns that Genma let Ranma make the final choice by asking him, which he liked better, her or okonomiyaki. When Ranma offers to let her pound him in retaliation and she enthusiastically takes him up on the offer, he repeatedly compliments on her cuteness to make her let go, embrace her femininity and not give up on other boyfriends. She's extremely embarrassed and hits him to stop. After she learns that Ranma & Akane don't seem to get along she forgives him and hands over an okonomiyaki with a heart on.

9.8: Attacks Ryoga when she thinks he's ridiculing her engagement. Saved from a beating by Ranma. Notices that Ryoga loves Akane and offers help, since this would free Ranma for herself. Calls Ryoga a coward for not daring to ask Akane out.

9.9: Asks Akane if she doesn't mind being Ranma's fiancée anymore, since they don't seem to get along. Thinks that he couldn't possibly be in love with her. Shocked that such an unfeminine girl could possibly exist, after hearing Ranma's description.

9.10: Thinks Ryoga is annoying, stupid and spineless.

9.11: Angered at the 'unknown girl' who constantly destroys Ryoga's and Akane's date. Learns about Ranma's curse and thinks it's funny.

10.9- 10.11: Tells Ranma that she used to pose as a man before she came to Nerima. She is furious at Tsubasa for wrecking her store. Enthusiastic at Ranma's & Tsubasa's 'cuteness competition to sell most okonomiyaki, since she might make lots of money. Annoyed with Tsubasa for never getting the hint that she isn't interested.

Thinks that 'tenacious dopes that fall in love with you shouldn't be let down gently, just given some good whacks so they might give up'. Repeatedly strikes Tsubasa with blunt objects whenever she sees him.

13.2: Tells Ranma that she doesn't mind if he's weak. She'll marry and care of him. He'll only have to watch the children, and he won't be able to marry Akane, since he can't manage the dojo. Tells an ingratiating Ranma that he seems to have lost his pride as well.

13.3: Shocked at Happosai's unfairness. Worried about Ranma.

13.4: Helps the Saotomes search for a cure and makes their food. Thinks Genma is an idiot for suggesting prostrating.

13.5: Says that she'd do anything to help her fiancé. Laughs out loud at Ranma's baby photo of wetting his bed. Very excited at seeing a present day nude photograph, especially the crotch region. Angered and swipes her spatula at Ranma, after Genma says that Ranma loves Akane. Cologne says that Akane shouldn't help with further training since she can't strike at Ranma without holding back.

13.6: Considers Ryoga an idiot for being too nice to not hold back against Ranma and getting overemotional and remorseful about it.

13.7: Seems to get along reasonably well with Genma. Says that Ryoga isn't trash.

13.8: Compassionate towards Ryoga having a nightmare, but solves it by striking him with a mallet. Calls Akane a muscle-bound creep and attacks her, since she thinks Akane seduced her poor weakened Ranchan. She's unconcerned about the sad, beaten Ranma on the ground.

13.9: Cheers for Ranma against Happosai. Wonders if he will ever get his strength back.

13.10: Bemused by Ranma's plan to use lingerie photos.

14.1: Moved to tears by the broken Ranma. She's very angry with Happosai and beats at his unconscious form with her spatula.

15.4: Prepares to open her store for the day/'another day at the salt mines'. Feels danger and defends against an unknown assailant. Grabs 5 thrown playing cards from the air with a single hand. A flashback shows her attempting to protect children from a swindler, even when just 6 years old, but wagered and lost her okonomiyaki cart. After they found out that the Gambling King cheated they wrapped him up like sushi and dumped him into the river. Annoyed with Soun being so unconcerned because the debt is no skin off his nose, and is still angry with Genma for stealing her cart. She's cheerful at the prospect of letting Ranma stay with her.

15.5: Happy to help Ranma train himself at cards, since she lets him/her work as a waitress for all the debts he accumulates from consistently losing to her. He's such a horrible card player that she thinks he'll stay around forever, which will give her lots of time to win his heart. Clad in female yukata and snuggles his arm like a girlfriend. Reluctantly allows the Tendos to stay with her after they lose their house.

15.6: Bemused by Ranma's kindergarten-level lack of talent.

15.7: Unruffled about letting Ranma wager her restaurant, even if she has to live very modestly, since he's agreed to stay with her forever as her cook if he loses, which will lead to love between them. Cheerfully keeps the ashamed Ranma around as a waitress until the debt is gone.

16.1: Enthusiastic at the prospect of going to the hot springs race, since she can smell the tourist money.

16.2: Angered by Ryoga's ever-present melancholy and shyness and hits him full force to the head with her spatula (without effect). Tells him to ask out Akane. Angry with and slaps Ryoga for running in the wrong direction in a three-legged race. Whacks Ranma with her spatula when she sees him with Shampoo. Unfazed by her death threats and excited by the prospect of fighting. Whacks Ranma once more when he attempts to defuse the situation, and then once more when he tries a second time. Whacks Ryoga repeatedly to wake up.

16.3: Beats on Ranma together with Shampoo for leaving them behind. Considers Mousse unmanly for going ahead without her (really transformed into a duck). Has a temporary ceasefire with Shampoo & Akane in a hot spring.

16.4: Doesn't want Shampoo to show off her naked body to Ranma. Angered when she nuzzles him in the bath and forces Ranma's head under the water.

16.5: In disbelief that Ryoga didn't immediately notice being hooked with a chain.

16.6: Again annoyed when he gets them lost in the attic. Thinks Ryoga is a jackass for getting them lost under the floor and hits him.

16.7: Calls Ryoga a stupid directionless jerk. Much friendlier towards him after he wins the competition and accidentally takes her to the seaside at Atami, where she can sell lots of food to tourists.

17.6: Decides to pretend to attack Nabiki to scare her into dropping the engagement with Ranma. Accepts an offer to buy Ranma as a husband. Joins in Shampoo and Kodachi's attack on Nabiki, but unlike the others she makes no statements of intended murder. Angered at Shampoo for accidentally kicking Ranma, but nails him with several throwing spatulas herself.

17.7: Outraged that Nabiki even turns love into a business, but nonetheless pays for Ranma's 1-hour 1000 Yen rental fee to spend some time with him.

19.4: Very depressed after her 10-year old okonomiyaki sauce turns out to be a failure (due to Ranma's interference), which shook her pride as a master/mistress okonomiyaki chef. Accepts invitation to stay in the Tendo house until she feels better, and moves into Ranma's room. She cheerfully tries to wash a naked Ranma's back in the bathroom, and is very eager to see him sleep together with her. All the while trying to alleviate him by saying that it's just like when they were kids. Happy that Ranma is suddenly so nice to her, but not very concerned that her advances cause him to be whacked by Soun & Akane.

19.5: Her pride as a cook drives her to punish herself by eating her failure (and getting sick in the process). Thinks Ranma is eating it because of a childhood promise to take care of/marry her if it turned out well (he's actually forgotten. She's even more determined to punish herself, and is very touched by Ranma's 'love', but her pride as a cook doesn't allow compliments given out of charity. She needs her pride even more than her love. Hits Ranma in embarrassment. Overjoyed when she thinks Ranma loves her so much that he'll suffer to marry her, and decides that her love is even more important than the pride in her work.

19.6: Tells Ranma that she's aware that she isn't much, but to please love her forever. Delights in her attempt to be a proper, cute and affectionate wife who cooks for and welcomes her husband. Doesn't believe the truth when he tells her, and thinks Akane made him say it. Tells Akane that she's just as much a fiancée of Ranma and can't be tricked by lies. Smugly doesn't believe a word of the genuine charade that Ranma & Akane are already married.

19.7: Determined to be a full-time wife rather than a chef to win Ranma. Extremely sceptical that Ranma & Akane would be sleeping together. Fakes tears about Ranma's 'affair', and reminds him of her stoical dedication and self-sacrifice, to guilt him into taking care of her.

19.8: Shown that Ukyo is a very good regular cook. Keeps a cool head and defuses Ranma's attempts to make her give up by being a 'rotten husband'. Eavesdrops when Akane mentions that the best way to make Ukyo hate him is by treating her the same way as herself (relentlessly insulting her weakest spots), but is unimpressed. Fiercely determined never to give up on 'her' Ranma. Pretends to be poisoned from the sauce to make him feel touched and remorseful again. Thinks Ranma should make up his mind. Reflexively puts Ranma on the okonomiyaki grill after he swallows her sauce and regretfully realises that she isn't satisfied without her work.

22.9: Upset with Ranma after receiving a notice (spread by Cologne) that he'll confess his love for Shampoo at the Cat Café. She's heavily embarrassed (but happy) after he demands a love declaration from her (to sate his doubts about being attractive enough to successfully confess) and reflexively beats him up as she complies, then immediately runs away.

22.10: Threatens Ranma to do some quick explaining while he's wholly bandaged up in sickbed.

25.4: Considerably more paranoid/distrustful of Ranma than Akane when it appears like Ranma is 'making moves' on Ms. Hinako, and considers Akane naive. Severely beats up Ranma when he's being nice/considerate towards Ms. Hinako (actually just trying to bribe her to teach him the technique), without giving him the chance to explain.

25.5: Gangs up with Shampoo & Kodachi and attacks Hinako for 'using her position as a teacher to put her evil claws into Ranchan'. Awakened by Hinako's question to Akane's if she is Ranma's fiancé, and tiredly states that _she's_ Ranma's fiancé. Drags herself away, but declares that this isn't over. Still very tired the day afterwards, and, with the help of Akane, drags herself to eavesdrop when Hinako calls Ranma to a private meeting, but gets annoyed with Akane for being a hypocrite (saying that she doesn't want to eavesdrop but still doing it).

25.6: Shocked to find Ranma bent over Hinako and grabbing her breasts (really trying to defend himself by hitting 5 pressure points to deactivate her ability), but too tired to do anything.

25.6: Makes battle-plans together with Shampoo & Kodachi. Suggests attacking during the class basketball tournament to let their battle-auras blend in.

25.7: Offers Akane to join them in attacking Hinako. Thinks she's guilty of seducing Ranma, rather than Ranma being responsible, like Akane. Tricks Hinako into playing basketball with them by feigning remorse for attacking her. Angry at Hinako when Ranma accidentally takes the attack for her, but tricks her that it's spirit of competition. Throws several blunt objects towards Hinako.

25.9: Accepts Ranma's offer to avenge her defeat for her but is aghast to see him in a girl's gym uniform. Feels sorry for him when he seems hurt after noticing. Thinks Happosai is an evil man for teaching a small child to help him steal panties. Angry with and helps to beat up Happosai after he reveals that the pressure points must be pushed every day for a month to remove the ability.

27.9: Tired from her constant work and plans to take some time off together with Ranma at some quiet, out of the way place. Finds a 'tunnel of lost love' attraction while reading through travel brochures, and invites Ranma & Akane as a pair to split them up. Happy at seeing Ryoga unexpectedly show up, so she has an excuse not to enter together with Ranma. Not the least scared by the ghosts in the cavern. Enthusiastically invites Ryoga along in her scheme and helps him to stop them from leaving, but otherwise tries to stay out of their way. Calls Ryoga a jackass for being confused into being unmindful of their objective and keeps a scared Akane company despite the risk of being forcibly broken up. Whacks Ranma with her spatula for trying to walk with her, but temporarily relents.

27.10: Lies about being sick to make Ranma go along with Akane. Increasingly frustrated and irate with Ryoga's senseless stupidity and repeatedly slaps Ranma to wake him up. Surprised when hearing Akane screaming. Wonders where Ryoga might have gone after the latter transforms, but glad to have him out of the way. Tries to be friendly to Akane to convince her to forget about Ryoga and stay with Ranma, but fuming and considers Akane dense when the latter considers Ryoga much more trustworthy than Ranma and decides to wait for him to catch up. Whacks Ryoga on sight (but doesn't seem able to cause any damage), but reluctantly accepts his help after he repeatedly apologises. Overjoyed when Ranma and Akane walk towards the exit, but angered and disappointed when the spirits grab her and Ryoga instead (and allegedly curse them to never become a couple). Heatedly argues with, blames and insults him afterwards.

27.11: Helps Ranma to stop the principal from publicly announcing his supposedly bad test score.

30.11: Worried about her friend/fellow okonomiyaki cook Occhan for possibly getting himself hurt with a legendary cursed 'spatula', and runs to help him.

31.6: Tries to share the 'umbrella of love' with Ranma to make him fall in love with her. Brings Ranma out of the spell, when accidentally sharing it with Kuno. Attacks Akane with shuriken when the latter tries to destroy it.

31.11: Angry with Hinako for being inattentive. Fearful when assaulted by lustful, 'aloha virus'-ridden males (thinking it's their honeymoon) on a deserted island. Impressed when the principal is able to prepare a cure for the 'Aloha virus'. She's determined not to get raped by the zombie-like horde and defends herself despite not having eaten in three days. Uses female allure to entice them into entering a hot spring containing the antidote.

33.4: Overjoyed to hug a child 'that looks just like Ranma did'.

33.8: She's working part-time as a Shinto temple maid, after the real Miko was scared away, and is enthusiastic towards the customers/visitors. She seems to get along well with Akane and calls her Akane-chan. She helps Hinako and the priest by making a trap for and fighting an Ema destroying horse. Being a cook, she apparently also has very good artistic talent, and takes pride in it.

33.10: She's concerned that someone is sabotaging her business and asks Ranma & Akane for help. She initially doesn't recognise the one responsible (Hayato Myojin), but eventually remembers that she fought him once when she was ten, after she had been on a training trip due to being furious that Ranma 'abandoned' her. She still has a very sore/emotional spot about the latter.

33.11: Angered that Hayato glued a mask to Ranma's face. She remembers that they made a bet to permanently stick a mask to their faces, but is unconcerned about the latter's troubles and thinks he's a fool for keeping the promise. She accepts Hayato's duel challenge, and is determined to beat him up just like last time, apparently unconcerned that he'd get rid of the mask if she let him win, but also claims that she initially went easy on him since she felt a bit sorry for his troubles. She nonetheless turns furious after he chooses a battleground where she's originally disadvantaged, but regretfully admits her defeat.

34.1: She helps to beat Ranma up to force him to accept her Valentine's chocolates.
