This was bad.
Somehow the ties that had bound Ranma into his old life had mutated and been switched around. Mainly to Mamoru Chiba.
Mamoru was engaged by an old arrangement between the families to Usagi Tsukino, a nice girl three years older than him but who was an utter disaster in the majority of traditional female Japanese roles. Rei Hino, a tomboy whom Mamoru had not yet met since childhood - when he thought he'd been playing around with another guy. Sure enough, in a weird copy of the original Ukyo's relationship, Rei had been engaged to Mamoru with a dowry (scrolls detailing martial arts archery techniques that had since been lost) and soon the two would be reunited.
Add to this the accidental defeat of a Chinese Amazon with the name of Suds. Add to this her professional and intelligent look being somewhat spoiled by the rather lush curves and the promise of severe back pains when she was older.
How the heck was a martial artist supposed to do all those acrobatics with a pair of knockers that'd keep her from seeing her own feet?!
Well, maybe they weren't quite that bad, but they were more than a handful for sure. And what was with all the "Gainax-ing"?!
She was going to merge soon with Suds, be stuck speaking Japanese with an accent that wasn't merely broken but completely shredded, and the sort of girl who sat in a tree, imagining her beloved Mamoru doing...
Apparently her current incarnation was a bit lusty and not that terribly inhibited.
Each of the girls associated with the Bishonen Senshi had some odd talent. Usagi's was Luck that seemed to follow the rule of "bad when it would be funny, good when her life is actually in danger." Rei had some clairvoyant abilities. Hotaru had the power to Illumine and to Heal. So too did 'Suds' (she was GOING to change that name) have an odd ability resulting from her previous life. As with the others it was more a support ability than a frontline fighter talent.
