Profile: Kodachi Kuno is the little sister
of Tatewaki Kuno, and calls herself the "Black Rose" of Martial
Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics. In some ways, she is very similar to her brother,
and in some ways she is not. However, one thing is for sure: she is
prepared to do anything to win, even dirty tricks..
Before, Kodachi usually ambushed her opponents before her matches, and
wins by default most of the time. Unfortunately, when she was to face
Akane Tendo she was unable to effectively disable her beforehand. It
was during one of these attempts that she met Ranma Saotome and became
enamored with him.
Kodachi then found out that Akane was Ranma's fiance, and redoubled
her efforts to try to disable her and win Ranma. In the end though,
Akane injured herself, and the girl to take her place was, ironically
enough, Ranma (in girl form)!
Kodachi was defeated by the substitute Onna-Ranma, and like her brother,
does not know that Onna-Ranma (girl) and Otoko-Ranma (boy) are the same
person. Kodachi thinks that the "pig-tailed girl" she fought
is also in love with Ranma, and believes Akane and the pig-tailed girl
to be obstacles to her true love, Ranma. It is her hope to somehow eliminate
both of them so she can have her "Ranma-sama" all to herself.
Personality: Kodachi is very much like her brother, Tatewaki
Kuno, but without the sense of honor or aloofness that he has. Kodachi
has no scruples about using, paralysis gas, poison, nails, or any type
of means possible to get what she wants. Kodachi is very determined
about winning her darling Ranma away from Akane. It has been said her
actions border on insanity, but "eccentric" seems to be a
better adjective to describe her. A
truly evil and backstabbing character, though in the comedic sense.
