   <info/appearance>

   • Akane is a heiress to the Tendo Branch of Anything Goes Martial Arts, the youngest daughter of Soun Tendo, the younger sister of Kasumi Tendo and Nabiki Tendo, and the fiancée of Ranma Saotome.
   • appearance: short blue hair, brown eyes;
   • Akane usually wears causal clothes. For training or anticipated combat, Akane wears a light yellow gi and is barefoot;
   • relationships: Soun (father, close), Kasumi (oldest sister, close), Nabiki (older sister, close), Ranma Saotome (fiancé, complicated, but both love one another, close), Shampoo (complicated, but are friends, love rivals for Ranma's affection), Ryoga (he has a crush on her, one-sided, is her pet piglet while in his cursed form, friends), Kuno (he wants to date her, but she shown disinterest), Mousse (friends), Ukyo (close friends, love rivals for Ranma's affection);

   • Akane is generally shown as compassionate, helpful and gentle towards anyone in trouble, but also vulnerable, stubborn, relentless, short-tempered and jealous.
   • She takes pride in her legacy and position as the scion of her family's Tendo-Ryu, and never backs off from a fight or rejects a challenge.
   • She has repeatedly expressed extreme disapproval in attacking or hurting anyone unable to defend themselves.
   • She has come to the aid of her rivals and consistently feels empathy towards people who had tried to make her life miserable like Happosai or Kuno.
   • She is apt to hit Ranma often as reaction to his bad traits like his insensitivity, but also due to her own rampant paranoia to believe the worst of the situations she finds him in. She has also apologized for her behavior, once she has had time to cool down or learn the facts, and consistently risked her own life trying to help Ranma without a second thought, showing extreme courage in this regard given her own comparatively limited skills and increased danger she is.
   • Most of Akane's flaws can be attributed to insecurities about her own attractiveness and lack of traditionally feminine talents.
   • Her insecurity sometimes leads her to overreact upon finding Ranma in compromising positions and to punt, repeatedly whack, stomp, or attack him with bokken, shinai, mallets, arrows, stones, tables or any other available blunt object.
   • She is also rather conscious about her appearance and bust size to a notable degree.

   • Akane's mother died when she was very young, because of this, she did not learn many traditionally feminine skills.
   • She has terrible cooking skills, nearly everything she cooks ends up making people sick, except for her curry.
   • Akane sees Kasumi as a surrogate mother figure, since she helps her with more traditionally feminine chores.
   • In elementary school, her classmates thought she was so much like a boy.
   • Some point about this time, Akane develops a crush on Dr. Tofu who patches her up after one of her many fights. However, Akane notices that Dr. Tofu appears to be more interested in Kasumi than her, so begins to grow her hair so as she can appear to be "more feminine" and hopefully get affection from Dr. Tofu. (Eventually, she moves on from Dr. Tofu)
   • Akane cannot swim to save her life. In fact, her ineptitude goes beyond mere lack of practice - she cannot even swim with the use of a rubber ring, and when she tried she in fact managed to land in the impossible position of being trapped upside down in it, with her head stuck underwater and her legs thrashing wildly in the air.

   • Akane had obtained a black pet piglet who she calls 'P-chan' (The piglet is Ryoga in his cursed form). She is oblivious that P-chan is Ryoga, even though Ranma hints at it.
   • She does not tolerate people harming P-chan in any way.
   • She might carry him around, and she occasionally has P-chan as a sleeping companion at night, which causes Ranma to be jealous.

   • Nabiki Tendo;
   • appearance: brown chin-length hair that she wears in a bob cut, brown eyes, tends to wear a tank top and shirt with shorts or sweater and jeans at home. Nabiki has a extravagant sense of fashion;
   • relationships: Soun Tendo (father, close, will complain about her, but let's her do what she wants), Kasumi Tendo (older sister, close), Akane Tendo (younger sister, close, but complicated) Tatewaki Kuno (complicated, possible love interest) Ranma Saotome (complicated, future brother-in-law), Kinnosuke Kashao (rivals, possible love interest);

   • Nabiki is the middle of the three Tendo sisters. Even at her young age, she is gifted at methodically serving her own interests at the expense of anyone else, including her family, and has no compunctions against emotionally wrecking, manipulating, tormenting, impoverishing, or setting up others in life-threatening situations for either money, amusement or petty pride, even if she owes them her life several times over. She encouraged Kuno to keep his infatuation with female Ranma and Akane to further her regular sales of clandestinely-taken photos, which he keeps in a large album. She also regularly uses incrimination or blackmail to get what she wants.

   • Nabiki has been shown to be observant, curious, resourceful and cool under pressure. But also as sadistic, petty, sarcastic, manipulative, contemptuous, impatient, extremely greedy, irresponsible/wont to foist her blame onto others, nearly barren of conscience or compassion and completely amoral, but seems to be childish at times, and is very fond of all types of tasty treats, including junk food. She has shown no compunctions about severely betraying her family, or cheerfully and extensively tormenting someone who's just saved her own life twice over.

   • Nabiki is eminently fond of money. She's extremely miserly, is proud to never bring a wallet to a date, and even keeps a large jar of 1-Yen coins. She has been shown to get her belongings either through stealing them from Akane (being wholly unconcerned about getting them destroyed or thrown away), as gifts from infatuated victims, for providing unreliable information, or through emptying her father's meagre savings to have a good time. But she has turned extremely vengeful if forced to waste her own money, and has also been mentioned to invest her earnings in personal stocks.

   • Her love of money frequently leads her to betray her family to gain more of it.

   • Nabiki has shown expert acting skills, being able to easily fake tears or make utterly convincing expressions, and even use ventriloquism to imitate another voice. She's effortlessly kept up a straight-faced over-dramatic play-act about feigned love.

   • Despite her normal crafty behavior, she has shown nostalgic and melancholy feelings for her late mother.

   • Nabiki has been stated to not possess any 'maidenly feelings', or 'be completely heartless' She has used her classy and attractive appearance to fleece and swindle any potential suitors for all they are worth, conning them into giving her expensive food, clothes and jewellery. At the point she's gauged that they've reached their financial limit, she immediately breaks up the relationship and blackmails them to pay her additional money afterwards by threatening to distribute their love-letters.

   • Nabiki is very good at faking amorous emotions to fit her needs. She thinks it's amusing to repeatedly manipulate and abuse feelings with sadistic play-acting.

   • Kasumi Tendo;
   • appearance: brown hair, long, styled in a loose ponytail, brown eyes, she tends to wear dresses and uses aprons when working at home;
   • relationships: Soun (Father, close), Nabiki (Younger Sister, close), Akane (Youngest Sister, close), Ranma (future brother-in-law, close), Dr. Tofu (friends, possible love interest, one-sided on his part);
   • occupation: Housemaker for the Tendo Household, and Anything Goes Martial Arts dojo;

   • Kasumi is the eldest daughter of the Tendo family. She stated that she finds younger men boring. Although she is out of high school, she took over as the family matriarch after the death of her mother. She handles most of the housework, caring for and supporting her family and anyone who visits. Her life is largely that of a traditional Japanese housewife, but she appears to be content in that role.

   • Kasumi is a peaceful, she is invariably shown as cheerful and pleasant, seldom seeming fazed by the wild events that surround her. Once the lunacy subsides, she amiably helps to clean up any destruction, and generally seems content in working hard to take care of her family, the household and make any guests feel at home. Kasumi can sometimes appear oblivious, but has also been shown as highly perceptive.

   • Kasumi also sometimes gives wise/sagely advice, where she has made spot-on, if somewhat harsh, character observations. She may keep a cool head and cheerful attitude to help maintain the tranquillity of the household and holds her family together. In a few instances, she was upset with sudden changes, such as Akane's sudden haircut, so she perhaps trained herself to stay calm as a defense mechanism.

   • Dr. Tofu Ono, the local physician, has a crush on her and goes haywire whenever she comes by, or even talks to her on the phone. But given that she always encounters him in this mode, she considers him somewhat odd and seems unaware of his affection.
   • Kasumi is not a fighter, but she very occasionally shows a variant of her family's signature frightful battle aura that is used for comedic effect, shown as a giant image of herself. Kasumi may be a highly capable, but currently non-practicing, martial artist.
   • She doesn't appear to be devoid of social life, given that she's been shown to go on trips, or visit friends, and regularly accompanies her family on various entertainment activities.
   • Kasumi appears to be quite intelligent in an academic respect, borrowing books in advanced skills such about human pressure points. She also managed to translate an excerpt from a French book, but stated that her knowledge of the language was quite limited. However, she is too occupied by her housework for scholarly pursuits.
   • Kasumi appears to be virtually devoid of negative instincts. The other household members falsely assumed that their lack of consideration and various destructive mishaps had turned her murderously ferocious, due to 'dammed up aggression'. However, when faced with these troubles, and her anger had reached its peak, she simply reprimanded Ranma by lightly tapping him on the forehead, a common form of discipline given to Japanese children. Yet even here, she thought that she might have been overreacting.
   • She seems unwilling to cause any form of mental anguish whatsoever towards others. Kasumi instead wields 'soft power' when she thinks it seems necessary and might be of any help, while simultaneously trying to take care of her family.

   • Many years ago Soun, along with Genma Saotome, was taken as a student by the founder of Anything Goes Martial Arts, Happosai. However "training" largely consisted of the grandmaster gleefully abusing them as slaves or pack animals, chaining up, starving and taunting them by eating all their food, and sticking them with responsibility for his thefts and runaway restaurant bills. They eventually managed to temporarily get rid of their tormentor by getting him drunk and then sealing him within a cave, by means of explosives, a large boulder, and a shinto O-fuda seal.

   At some point Soun established his dojo, got married, and became the father of Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane. With the untimely death of his wife, he was left with the responsibility of raising his three daughters and the duty of keeping his dojo afloat all by himself.

   • As the head of the Tendo family and the Anything Goes Martial Arts dojo, he feels a sense of responsibility for his family and for maintaining the dojo's reputation.

   • Soun is very emotional, and is prone to visibly displaying this, whether it be a tragic, happy, or angry occasion. He is regularly brought to tears when caught up in sentimentality, compassion, worrying about his children, or if he thinks their affection is in doubt. They occasionally gush from his eyes.

   • Soun still mourns, and is extremely loyal to, his deceased wife, Kimiko. He has a traditional Japanese altar devoted to her memory somewhere in the house, prays for her every year on the day of their wedding anniversary, and visits her grave in memorial of her death. However, he remained capable of joking about it to lighten up the mood.
   • When enraged, he can manifest a strong, intimidating battle aura, sometimes in the form of a giant, ghostly oni head. This highlights his intensity, even if he doesn't always act decisively.
   • he plays Shogi a lot with Genma in his free time;

   Entry settings

   Anything Goes Martial Arts is the school of martial arts founded by Happosai. It is the style used by Ranma Saotome, his fiancée Akane Tendo, and their fathers Genma Saotome and Soun Tendo, respectively.

   Happosai took two young apprentices, Soun Tendo and Genma Saotome, as his students, an act which would lead to both the creation of the two main branches of Anything Goes Martial Arts as well as his lengthy hibernation.

   After Soun and Genma were able to imprison Happosai in a cave with sake, explosives and Shinto seals draped over a boulder that sealed the cave's entrance, they founded their respective branches of Anything Goes Martial Arts, both named after their families. Soun would eventually settle down at the Tendo Dojo to teach his Tendo School to his daughter Akane, while Genma would later take his son Ranma on a 14 year long training journey, wherein both inadvertently gained their Jusenkyo curses, before presenting him to Soun for the eventual reunification of the two schools.
