Character & Canon: Ranma Saotome [Ranma 1/2]
District: Orlea

Personality:
Ranma is quick to act, or react before understanding the situation (or the whole picture if you will.) This is most commonly witnessed for things he says without thinking them through. They are often insensitive or rash which leads to me offend others without intending to do so. Because of Ranma's coarse nature, he rubs people the wrong way and generally makes more enemies than he does friends. He usually has to explain himself, and sometimes despite his best efforts he doesn't always come off as convincing.

As a martial artist, Ranma has dedicated his life to becoming as skilled and renowned as he is. He's almost too good to the point where he is arrogant about himself and his abilities. This also applies to his female counterpart and how anesthetically attractive his girl form can be. When another challenges him to a match Ranma is always confident in that he will win and never frets about the battle to come. He's so certain that he won't lose that it sometimes causes him to underestimate his opponent to the point where he does lose. Which elicits one of his worst traits; he's a sore loser. Ranma is very prideful in his abilities that he simply cannot tolerate losing or coming in second. It shows in everything he does, from competing with Akane in various activities to rivaling with Ryoga in fights. When he does lose he refuses to admit to it and will continually challenge the person he lost to over and over again until he does win. This happens repeatedly with Happosai as the old man constantly thinks up ways to trump Ranma, forcing Ranma to perceiver past that.

Ranma is a tease, and sometimes a bully. He will pick on others more helpless than he is (like Ryoga, or Kuno.) He also enjoys poking fun at Akane and any of her ridiculous male suitors that isn't him. However; he's not good at taking what he dishes, for when the tables turn against him and he's called out or embarrassed in front of others he will freeze up or react poorly. Overall Ranma is bad with undesirable outcomes.

In some cases where his habits lead him into trouble unintentionally, he will not take blame for problems he may have caused. Often Ranma will try to push the blame onto others that influenced him to be in the wrong. He also blames others for his own problems, like his being a girl is always pressed onto his father who bringing him to Jusenkyo in the first place. Ryoga insists that his curse is Ranma's fault because Ryoga chased him down to China, and while he is partly to blame Ranma doesn't even own up to that much.

Ranma is exceptionally manipulative, in it that he will use his assets to get other people to do what he wants. Several different examples can be seen of his manipulative behavior; like getting Shampoo to do various tasks for him in exchange for things like dates or promising to do things with her (but doesn't always pull through with them.) His trait only serves to worsen in his girl form wherein he uses his feminine features and attributes on Kuno and Ryoga (in disguise) to do things for him. He will also use his female assets on Happosai to weasel things from him for his own benefits. While he does hate being a girl, he's not afraid to act like one to get his way and is fully aware that he can get men to do his bidding while in his girl form.
This does not come without a price however, since his adaption to having a girl form, Ranma has grown insecure about his masculinity and whenever someone challenges or doubts it he becomes overly defensive and will sometimes fill the need to prove himself. He persists that with his girl form, he's still not a girl. Though this is true to some extent as he generally lacks feminine modestly and all forms of gracefulness as a girl unless he's playing the part.

While he isn't the most kind of people and even a tad selfish and narcissistic but in the end, Ranma isn't a bad guy. He will help those in need of it and will protect someone who is unable to protect themselves if they are being attacked. He uses his martial arts as a form of defense for others, generally Akane. More often than not, when Akane is being targeted, he will save and protect her. During times like these Ranma's feelings for Akane surface and his moment of sincerity is its most apparent.

Ranma, at times, will hold grudges. Though these grudges have to have a huge lasting impact in his life for him to consider holding one, otherwise Ranma is rather forgiving of others and will take it as a misunderstanding if nothing else. He'll even try to be helpful if others are in need of it, like offering ideas or doing small tasks (sometimes larger ones) although he's not always efficient.
