MINE! :)
(actually, I _did_ make a few factual errors in the last one)

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. Her features can best be described as elfin 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, though cunning. 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, undisiplined, and lazy as sin. 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 she has no
concept of what food _isn't_ supposed to taste like and total immunity to
most toxins. By her a cookbook IMMEDIATELY!
Fighting Skills: Compitent brawler with some talent for swordplay.
Probably has had no formal training.
Special Abilities: HOOO-BOY! Flight, Energy Blasts/Sword,
Intangiblity, Survival in Hard Vacume(sp?), Teleportation, Matter
Rearranging (golems come in handy), regeneration, 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 and maternal side.
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 would
probably make up for it.
