In resp. to Helen:

I saw Shampoo for the very first time in Big Trouble in Nekonlon China
and in the opening sequence (which I thought was hilarious) she
seemed to be very bubble headed.  AFter reading the manga where she
makes her first appearance, her character still seemed silly and naive
(her tricking Ranma with the panda arms), but when she said at the end
"Is obstacle, Obstacle is for killing," that's whe nI started to respect
her more.  It's just that first impression that always stays, ne?

my say!
FTF: It's my psyche, I do have a say!
