apply here. 

 It is not complete yet, not by a long shot.  Considering Ranma's limited
view of the world currently, her assumption of Akane was a valid one.
That will change in the future.  It will eventually bottom out, and then
rise slowly out of despair.

Who's talking about -Ranma's- assumptions? That's -my- view of how Akane is
portrayed here.

["I'm angry. It MUST be Ranma's fault! I'll punish him for existing!"]

I have to agree with you about this fic. I could deal with Akane's
portrayl in "Bitter End", because Zen gave us a reason for it (the
mental illness). Not so in this fic. She is just portrayed as some
ever-angry, totally shallow, and incredibly stupid caricature of herself
for no apparant reason.
