continuing the Tendou family...

KASUMI TENDOU

	Looks:  Classically beautiful, a woman instead of a girl.  I don't
think I've mentioned here that I find aprons a real turn on.  Well, I
do, almost as much as wedding dresses.
	Smarts: Hard to say.  Is she really as oblivious as she sometimes
seems, or is that an iron shield of "everything's okay" that she's
maintained since her mother's death, when she became the responsible
one in the family?  Early on, she's returning a book to Dr. Tofu, and
it would seem likely that most of the books in his personal library
would be on medicine or philosophy, not something for an airhead to
peruse lightly.  I like to think that she's fairly bright.
	Personality:  Always smiling, quiet and gentle, no matter how bad
things seem.  God help us if she ever cracks.
	Cooking:  Excellent, especially given she is often short of cash for
fancy ingredients.  Unlike some other Ranma 1/2 girls, doesn't seem to
force her food on the unwilling.
	Fighting Skills:  Being so lovable no one ever attacks you is a very
good defense, actually.
	Special Abilities:  So lovable no one ever attacks her.  Seemingly
immune to all forms of distress.
	Competition:  Dr. Tofu, the "egg man".  While she likes the doc, his
inability to function when she's around makes this a very dangerous
match, and a strong effort could win her away.  We've had very few
episodes that focus directly on Kasumi, does anyone know of other
potentials?
	In-Laws:  Soun, Nabiki, Akane, maybe Ranma and Genma.  As the eldest,
she may end up taking care of her father at your place if Ranma takes
over the dojo.  And Happosai is unlikely to give up on her cooking.
	Economics:  While she could easily get a restaurant or cleaning job,
her first love seems to be housewifery, and I feel she deserves a
husband who can support her.
	Sex:  Yes, this being part of the housewife gig after all.  She'll try
to please her husband, and you'd d--n well better try to please her.

	Overall:  Better than almost anyone deserves, especially Ranma.

SKJAM!
(who if Kasumi showed up on his doorstep tonight and said, "So, Scott,
I understand you like me..." would probably react just like Dr. Tofu)
