Her ninja clan was sworn to the service of Japan, specifically to the line of the Dukedom of Azabu Juuban. Her brother and his friend were sworn directly to Lord Ranma, but would rotate off soon. Normal, as ninja needed to keep their skills up and go through periodic retraining and education. Like many professions, a licensed ninja had to keep their Continuing Education credits up.
Her own skills were not something to be discounted. Treated as a "poison child" by almost everyone save Hayate and Lord Ranma - she'd thrown herself into the training and had distinguished herself there.
She felt that she would do well as Hayate's replacement during his training, after all - just look at her graduation scores!

Which did put some problems in the task of guarding him - as a martial artist of his caliber it was an open question of when to allow an attacker access to allow the Lord to further hone his skills.
That didn't get into the whole fact that he was a Runemaster who could tap into power and use that to enhance his own skill or someone else's. If he used Sowilo, the Sun Rune, to enhance her skills - how incredible would that be?
Putting an ear against the surface of the train, Ayane tried to listen. What was going on in there anyway? Something about... MARRIAGE?!
