Akane "scarlet"
The youngest daughter, age 16, like Ranma. A hot-tempered boy-hating kempoist, yet admired by many boys at school. She refuses to be betrothed against her will, especially to a hentai weirdo like Ranma (who doesn't like being engaged to a violent tomboy any better).
Despite their constant bickering and denials, Akane and Ranma grow to like each other (and feel jealous when the other appears more interested in another suitor), but neither can admit it.
Akane is comically inept at traditional feminine pursuits like cooking, sewing, and tea ceremony. She also swims like a hammer, being utterly incapable of staying afloat. |
