        After being on the FFML, more than ever before had I seen cases in
which Cologne became the ultimate bad guy/ghoul in at least 70% of all the
fanfics on the list.  Owning all 38 volumes of Manga myself, I had NEVER
seen Cologne being maliacious to ANYONE; nor had she ruined anybody's lives
(Genma, on the other hand . . .); nor had she ever used one of her
techniques as a bait to get Ranma to marry Shampoo (not even the Whirlwind
trick that Ranma desperately needed at the time); nor had she ever even
attempt to hurt Akane (even in the Shark-fist Chapter, she threw Ranma and
Akane both out the water so that Akane won't get caught up in the match);
nor had she ever been mean to Mousse (read ALL manga episodes).
        So to all those writers using Cologne as a evil character without
stating that it is OFC, I would like to ask WHY do they do what they do with
Cologne.
