Subject: Marriage Prospects: Ryoko

	Frag it, if nobody else has the nerve....
	I'm afraid that I've only seen the first OAV series, so don't 
flame me too severely, OK

	Looks: Exotic.  She's fairly tall and her figure is not anything
to sneeze at; but her most striking features are her spikey mane of cyan
hair, catlike golden eyes, and slightly noticable fangs (now I see what
drives the Ryoga lovers crazy ;)
	Brains: Average.  She has had over a millennia to aquire wisdom
(not counting the 700 years buried in Yosho's backyard), but seems to have
squandered much of it. 
	Personality: Impulsive and undisiplined.  She seems to have had
little experience dealing with personal responsibility or society in the
past.  On the other hand she is fiercely loyal and rather forgiving of
others (I'm not sure to what extent her destructive streak is due to
Kagato's influence)
	Cooking (and housework in general): You're kidding, right?  Then
again she _might_ try it to prove something or be nice, but her competence
is in doubt.
	Fighting Skills: Mediocre brawler at best.  Probably has had no
formal training.
	Special Abilities: HOOO-BOY!  Flight, Energy Blasts/Sword,
Intangebility, Survival in Hard Vacume(sp?), Teleportation, Matter
Rearrangeing (golems come in handy), etc.  She has yet to tap her full
power (needs all three gems on Tenchi's sword to do so) and could
potentialy generate Radiant Hawk Wings unaided.  Oh yeah, she has a mental
link with both Washu and Ryo-oh-ki.
	In-Laws: Washu (Mother/Creator) and Ryo-oh-ki (de facto Sister). 
Ryo-oh-ki is naturally affectionate and rather hard to antagonize (cabbit
and humanoid forms are painfully endearing as well).  Washu... well she
has a harder time relating to others than her daughter (she plays the Full
Blown Mad Scientist to the hilt quite often) but has a distinct kind
streak
	Compitition: Masakai Tenchi.  He seems indifferent to her
romantically (ARE YOU _BLIND_ MAN!!!!!), but unless he says or does
something abnormally cruel to Ryoko any attempt to win her heart is a
_major_ struggle.
	Economics: No skills that apply to a "normal" job (sorry, but
ex-space pirate and planetary vandal do _not_ look good on a resume) and
her laziness would work against her in the job market, but her abilities
could be used profitably in almost any industry if push comes to shove. 
Then again, her mom has enough cash or potential sources of income to
mooch off of.
	Sex: Aggressive.  Her idea of 'quiet seduction' could get her
arrested for Lewd Conduct or Sexual Assault in some jurisdictions. 
Prepare for long and tiring nights (and days) on a regular basis. 

	Overall: A potential headache, but her capacity for devotion may 
make up for it.
