Let us take a moment to look at Akane Tendo. While opinions are mixed on her in general, this author feels the following statement can be universally agreed upon: Akane is a girl of emotional extremes. She never feels anything by halves. When she is happy, she is ecstatic. When she is sad, she is despondent. And, of course, when she is angry, she rages.
Now, add to this mix a spell that transforms her based on her emotions. Oh, the spell STARTED as something tied to only one of her emotions - her volcanic temper. But with all the electricity the spell absorbed... well, it had plenty of power and the original conditions were... slipping.
For example: combine her anger at being booted away by Ranma, frustration at being unable to return home, and a desperate fear to get away before her ability to have children was irrevocably destroyed... and you get Akane turning into a reasonable facsimile of the long extinct Tyrannosaurus Rex.
In fact, by this time, pretty much any strong emotion would result in a transformation into a different form.
Hmmm... considering that almost ALL her emotions are strong... things don't look good for Akane becoming human again, do they?
But that is for another time. At this moment, well, let's look in on her. Her blind panic to get away is over, what happens next...
***
Akane felt like crying... but apparently, dinosaurs can't cry. This day was, without a doubt, the worst of her life. Her humanity had been ripped away by that pip-squeak of a sorcerer, and it just kept getting WORSE! Now she was something that would be hunted down and experimented upon, or locked in a zoo... she'd never see her family, or Ran - her friends again!
Well, one this was for certain. If she ever got back to being herself, she'd never look at those with Jusenkyo curses the same again. This loss of humanity... of her sense of SELF... almost nothing could be worse...
Her anger was gone. Fear had abated. Depression had taken firm hold.
And now she felt the slight tingle... on no! She was changing again... would this never end?
She closed her eyes in anticipation, dreading what she would become next.
