There is a place called the "Tendo Dojo". Here lives a father and three daughters. The mother is like gone and not in the story @ all.
The father's name is Soun Tendo. He's a lil mental.
Then the daughters :
Kasumi, the eldest. She the "mother" of the house. She does all the housework and cooks etc. Dr. Tofu loves her (later described)
Nabiki, she like the brains of the house. She loves to take pictures of Ranma and Akane in sets of wutever number for 10,000¥ a set...a high price. She very greedy. If you try to make a compromise it takes a latta $$$ or a very outgoing task.
Then comes one of the main characters : Akane. She is the fiancé of Ranma. Later told again. She is very head strong and is the fighter of the family.
Then comes Ranma and his father.
Another main character: Ranma. He wuz a normal guy till he went on a training trip on China w/his dad. There he fell into a spring of drowned grl. That means whenever he gets splashed w/cold water, he gets turned into a red-headed grl...hot water reverses. Therefore he is forever looking for the spring of the drowned guy. His dad in the beginning decided Ranma wuz to b the fiancé of Akane.
Genma Satome: The dad, he fell into the pool of the drowned panda!! haha he becomes a fat lazy panda. And when he has a secret someone is trying to get him to say he always goes into his panda form b/c pandas cant talk!! hahaha. yea, well then he a very easy going guy unless itz for martial arts.
K here's the story:
Akane and Ranma meet for the first time. And the Satomes kinda live w/the Tendo family. Ranma had to choose a finacé and the dads chose Akane for him b/c they are close in age. So they are finacés and they get into all these adventures also finding other fiancés of Ranms which totals to um...hm...ahh...wait ...no...nM...get the point? yea. Genma gets into trouble when he bargains his son for food...(you'll hafta watch a certain ranma tape to get that)and that the main thing...
oh yea...Dr. Tofu: he a chiropractic person...you know..those pplz who study bones realy well and stuff well he the good friend of Akane and he in love w/Kasumi.
and that it!!
