<Sigh> Is it too much to say that I want a Ukyo/NO ONE story? (And plan 
to write one, one of these days.) 

Seriously, she seems like one of the few characters in Ranma 1/2 who not 
only doesn't have a 'true love' matchup planned by the author, but who is 
just as capable of surviving without one. (Heck, I've survived for 10+ 
years without one, why can't she? ^_^) I sometimes find it kind of 
irritating to see authors scrambling wildly to match her up with someone, 
*anyone*, just so that she has a partner. That's why I want to write a 
story where she *doesn't* end up with anyone, and is happy about it. :)

Yes, yes. She is an independant woman. And she could survive quite
well, if she got over this need of hers to make Ranma her life. But I've 
seen enough Ukyou-gets-noone stories, I've seen enough Ukyou-does-quite-
well-by-herself-thank-you-very-much stories. I still haven't seen a
Ranma-Ukyou story that really satisfied me.

And I can't say they scrabble, out of all the cast (besides Kunou and 
Kodachi) she's often the one to not get matched up at all.
