I liked the ideas, Ranma as Supergirl, Liked the idea of
him feeling used and depressed because his martial arts were
not needed with Kara's Powers. I thought the ending wasn't
right for the story though. Too angsty for the rest of the
story. I loved the bit with the Rink and Pink, that was
perfect.

 By the by; Kara Zor-El was supposed to near anorexic in
appearance, you were thinking of  Kara Zor-L, Powergirl or
maybe that was the result of the older girl curse combining
with the new. ( picky aren't I ) Supergirl was supposed to
have suffered some permanent damage from the Kryptonite
radiation on Argo City, so she couldn't permanently move
into a red sun environment nor grow as much as Powergirl. (
more picky )

 For the record, there was a red haired Supergirl in the
fifties, who had the powers and heart of Superman
duplicated. She was created (apparently) by Jimmy Olsen
wishing Superman had a helper with his powers and heroism. A
Supergirl with red hair and a green and yellow costume with
a pleated skirt appeared. She was overdosed with Kryptonite
and asked Jimmy to cancel his wish, she then disappeared.
What if she where created by modifying the Drowned Girl
curse to Drowned Supergirl and someone who had fallen in the
spring was transferred to Jimmy and her memories removed.
Then when the wish was canceled, she was returned to
Jhusenkyo and her memories restored, might even have been
Ranma if time travel were involved.
She actually fit the rest of your description quite closely.
you would lose the
memories of Argo City but get Ranma-chan as a red head, who
remembers dying.

 If I were going to do this. I would have dropped the angst
level and just had Ranma move out and go to another town,
say Graviton City. He could meet
A-Ko and her  mom and dad. Who might recognize her, and
certainly would try to inspire her and train her to be a
crime-fighter, now add B-ko and C-ko and Ranma's usual
degree of Chaos. Pity poor Graviton city, as the newest
crime fighters show up, then Genma and Soun move the Dojo to
try to force Ranma to marry a Tendo. Perhaps with a
different environment, Soun could settle down a little
emotionally. Then Shampoo and Cologne show up and meet
A-Ko's mom, Wonder Woman, and we have different amazon
tribes and laws getting involved.

 Your Omake made me think of a crossover/ fusion possibility
or two. What If Riverdale High School had a field trip to
Quanghi Province in China, and Archie fell in the spring of
the Drowned Ranma (or Ranma-Chan) and Reggie in the spring
of the Drowned Ryoga or (Ryoga -Chan)

Alternately What If they had a field trip to Nerima. Anybody
what to picture greedy trickster; Jughead with Nabiki or
Betty meeting Kasumi?
How about Archie studying Anything Goes at the Tendo Dojo.
Mr. Lodge deciding it would help him be less clumsy and
accident prone and inviting the Nerima gang to Riverdale for
the summer?
