Ranma Saotome
(Ranma-Chan)
Ranma Saotome is the main character from the Anime Ranma 1/2. It appears that her name is the title of the show. 1/2 comes from his metamorphosis from boy-type of "Kun" to "Chan" which is the girl-type. She's my third favorite girl character from Ranma 1/2 because she is very cute too.

To fulfill her expectations, Genma took Ranma out of the house and traveled to China. Ranma began training his Anything Goes Martial Arts. Unfortunately, Genma and Ranma fell into the cursed springs of Jusenkyo. As a result, Ranma turns into a girl when touched cold water and Genma turns into a giant panda. Genma promised his friend Soun Tendo that Ranma would marry one of his daughters. Akane Tendo was chosen as the person Ranma would marry. However, Akane thinks Ranma is big pervert because Ran-chan accidently saw her naked in the bath tub. The story began and when Ranma is a "chan," Shampoo wants to kill her and Tatewaki Kuno can not keep his hands off of her. To Kuno, Ranma-chan is known as The Pig-tailed Girl.
