Okay, I just have to comment on Ranma's characterization here. I know
he's often thoughtless and a boor, but he's only just met Surien, and is
being much meaner to her than I think he normally would be to a relative
stranger... especially considering that she really hasn't done much to
get on his bad side. I seriously doubt he would be so liberal with the
"stupid" label, or he would at least be contrite afterwards, when he saw
how it affected her. As it stands, he's coming across as pretty
heartless... and I would say Ranma's a lot of things, but he's not
heartless.
