Hrm...if my guess is correct, matching up the names and descriptions in 
order we have:

Ranma> 		One of light and power,
Akane> 		One of darkness and destruction,
Nabiki> 	One of illusion and wit,
Ukyou> 		One of stealth and shadows,
Ryouga> 	One of death and daggers,
Shampoo> 	One of earth and life,
Mousse> 	One of air and grace."

We know the one for Ranma is correct for sure. Illusion and wit matches 
Nabiki, and air and grace makes sense for Mousse considering his duck 
curse. The other ones aren't as obvious but they could work. Akane's the 
violent one (darkness and destruction), Shampoo's the bubbly and lifely 
one who always glomps on Ranma kawaiily (earth and life), that leaves 
Ryouga and Ukyou and IMO Ryouga matches "death and daggers" better than 
Ukyou does ("Ranma, prepare to die!")

  Of course, Ukyo is earth and life.  Cats tend to be stealthy and prowl in
shadows, so I would expect that Shampoo will be the one of stealth and
shadows.  Ryouga seems to fit "darkness and destruction" better than Akane
since "darkness" could refer to Ryouga's depressions and he is the most
destructive of the normal Ranma crowd.  Of course, that would seem to leave
Akane as "death and daggers" which doesn't quite seem to fit.  Maybe we're
all wrong.
