In the Ranma canon, Akane is an angry person with a bad temper. This is
(in the otaku community) attributed to the childhood trauma of losing
her mother - the same trauma that (supposedly) made Nabiki a greedy
manipulative bitch and Kasumi into the Ultimate Housewife, as well as
turning Soun into a fountain of tears.
----
Akane isn't angry or bad-tempered in the least. In fact, she's a model of
compassion. Her reactions to Ranma's deliberate insults are pretty normal in
the context of a typical manga. Nor is she or any of the Tendou household
seem to be tramatized in any way. Nabaki is selfish for no other reason than
that's just the way she is, and same for Kasumi.
----
Or Kasumi, instead of becoming an idealized version of her mother, went
the opposite way and became a rebel and delinquent?
----
Heh. Kasumi in a KOR-style punk schoolgirl outfit with the bycicle gloves
and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. There might be merit in that
characterization, even if it's ridiculously OOC.
----
Any one of these - or all of them - are possible.

Not even remotely, sorry :)
