RYOGA HIBIKI (aka "P-chan" aka "Charlotte")

	Looks:  Studly.  I think that little fang we see every so often is
kind of cute.  As a pig, he's apparently very cute.  His clothes tend
to be well-worn and covered with the effects of long journeys on foot.
(First thing to do:  give him a hot bath!)

Don't worry... the first thing I'd do to him would be to give him a nice
hot bath, and I'd scrub his back, too! ^_^

	Smarts:  Admittedly not the brightest boy on Earth, though I suspect
that his "direction problem" is not due to stupidity per se (see
below.)

But he's so innocent and cute! And his stupidity... I don't mind.

	Personality:  Stubborn, vengeful, devoted to Akane.  Prone to
depression.

Devoted to Akane and any other girl who says he likes him...

	Cooking:  I don't know about following recipes, but you can bet he's
learned to prepare his own food in the wild.  Willing to eat Akane's
food regardless of danger.
	Fighting Skills:  Excellent.  Just a bit behind Ranma, and a new
technique will temporarily push him beyond, only to fall behind once
Ranma trains to defeat it.

Actually, he's better than Ranma. Ranma has to cheat to win.

	Special Abilities:  Very strong, razor sharp bandanas, rock-breaking
finger, heavy-emotion fueled ki blast, maybe some others, plus he
turns into a piglet.  Probably knows at least a smattering of many
languages to ask directions in.

My hero. ^_^

	Competition:  Akane, the pig-loving girl, Ranma.  While Ryoga is so
devoted to Akane's happiness that he would rip the still-beating heart
from his chest for her if she needed a transplant, she just thinks of
him as a good friend.  The pig-loving girl will be harder to beat,
since she likes his most annoying (to him) feature.  Ranma just does
that "instant fiancee" thing to annoy Ryoga; punt him and he'll go
away.

Nah, Ryouga'd just forget all about Akane and Akari if a girl comes along
and says she loves him, and drags him off to where Akane, Akari and Ranma
won't turn up!

	In-Laws:  None that I know of.  And I think I know why.  You notice

He's got a mother and father. His grand parents are dead.

that whenever Ryoga gets lost, he always tries to find his way back to
the Tendou dojo or Furikan High?  Ordinarily, one would expect him to
say once in a while, "gee, I should drop by home too."  But I think
the reason he can't find his way is because he doesn't #want# to go
home.  Home, for whatever reason, is so painful to him, that his

He's gone home twice, at least, in the manga. Once to show Akane his
dog's puppies, and once because he got lost and ended up there! ^_^

subconcious mind has given him an excuse for never returning.  If he
can't find his way, he can't be expected to go there, right?  This may
also explain why he is so strongly affected by women being nice to
him...

I think we can ignore the above...

	Economics:  Well, the rock-breaking finger does have its uses in
construction and such, but you'll have to find a way to get him to and
from work each day without losing him.  (Though if I'm right, your
pure love might break the mental block.)
	Sex:  Grateful, though shy.  He hasn't quite learned how to control
his strength in relation to his emotions, so be careful in those
clinches.

Mmm... strong and stupid and cute. How yummy. ^_~

	Overall:  What's not to love?  He's handsome like a pig, loyal like a
pig, strong like a pig....

Hai! He's wonderful! Ryouga-kamisama!

Kun-chan...
