Not that with her white hair and nearly black skin, slender build, pointed ears, long slender eyes, or figure - that she wouldn't stand out. Wearing a suit of silvery armor made her even more noticeable. That she was astride a pegasus added just a bit more.
The dark elf dismounted and walked towards the crowd, her eyes sweeping each member as if to determine their worth.
"Which one of you is Ranma Saotome?" asked the woman in a melodic low voice.
"NO! RANMA MUST MARRY A TENDO!" thundered Soun.
[I'm just a cute little panda!]
"Ranchan isn't here!" "Temptress, look elsewhere, for my Ranma-sama is elsewhere!" "Airen belong to Shampoo!" "BARK! BARK! RUFF! WOOF!"
The darkskinned woman frowned, then drew a glowing pattern in midair.
"Deceit is a tangled spider's web,
So let the tangles flow and ebb,
No untruths be told within this light,
Without a sign in plain sight."
The group paused as they saw the symbol glowing brighter and hang there in midair.
"I'm not impressed," said Soun. (grow)
Everyone else stared as Soun's nose grew an inch.
"Ranma must marry a Tendo." (grow) "That's all there is to it!" (grow) "It is a sacred pledge between families!" (grow) "A matter of family honor!" (grow) "Why is everyone staring at me?"
Nabiki found a mirror and showed her father how his nose now stuck out of his face like that of some tengu at 5 1/2 inches in length.
"Lying to a goddess," said the elf, "not very bright are you?"
"Oh my, so every time someone tells a lie - their nose grows?" Kasumi considered that. "I believe the Japanese Senate is in session. Could you go do that over there?"
"Actually, I didn't set the effect, so it may be different from person to person," admitted the elf.
