Veyon basically is a typical American youth.  However, because he's so 
small and everything else, and the fact that he's usually excluded in 
social life in High School, he's become rather withdrawn and 
introverted.  He's almost shy in many respects and has never dated or had 
a steady girlfriend.

Ok, now I have a few questions for everyone.  

1)  I have pretty much decided that Veyon will _not_ like the fact that 
Ranma has three fiancees if he finds out.  He'll probably say as much, to 
Ranma's face.  My question is, the way Ranma is, what would be his 
reaction to someone basically telling him, flat out, "You're a 
three-timing jerk because you keep these nice girls hanging onto what's 
basically a pile of empty promises!"?  Would Ranma take it, or beat the 
crud out of our little gymnast?

I can't see Ranma beating him up for this. Mousse has said essentially
the same thing, and yet it is Mousse who always started the fights
between the two. Ranma rarely if ever seems to pick fights, maybe
because he has a constant supply of people who want to fight him
already.

2)  As I said earlier, I plan on having him get involved with someone.  I 
don't know who, other than it probably _won't_ be one of Ranma's 
fiancees.  I need suggestions.  (And no, he wouldn't put up with Kodachi 
or Azusa for a second.)  Fanfic characters are ok, as are possibly 
crossover characters, as has been suggested.  (BTW, UY takes place in 
Tomobiki, which is another suburb of Tokyo, and, from what I recall, 
somewhat close to Nerima.   One of the early episodes of the series has 
Ataru in Nerima, getting fried by Lum in her UFO.  Anyway.)  Ideas are 
always helpful folks. :)  

If he is as shy as you say above, he probably wouldn't initiate the
relationship himself. He might have a crush on one of the women, but
he would probably get as far as Gosunkugi. It seems more likely that
any relationship would be initiated by the woman. That could be
anybody depending on the circumstances of the story, maybe not someone
he would like. (It's hard to say no to Kodachi when you are not a
martial artist and are not used to her tricks.)
