Kodachi Kuno (MUOF)

## Biography

She falls in love with Ranma after he saved her from falling from the Tendo dojo roof, after a failed attack to cripple Shampoo before the Rhythmic Gymnastics competition between Furinkan and St. Hebereke. After getting Shampoo to agree to make Ranma the prize for the competition she poisoned herself so that she could spread it to Shampoo during their handshake then had her second give her the antidote. It started to take effect just as Shampoo was started to gain the upper hand. Shampoo ended up using the Lightning Style to win. While Kodachi accepted her defeat she refused to give up her pursuit of Ranma.

She was later promised his love by the Bakeneko she aided him making Shampoo his bride. After sending sleeping gas to the Tendo Dojo she along with Azusa lured Shampoo to an abandoned cat temple where the Bakeneko placed a curse on her. When Ukyo, Mousse, Ranma and Akane came to rescue her Azusa fought Akane while Kodachi dealt with Ukyo and Mousse.

She was able to incapacitate the two with her pragmatism at which point she paralyzed Ranma to prevent him from making it to the temple. While Akane managed to fight both of them off she wasn’t able to get Shampoo to Ranma in time.

Kodachi was ecstatic Ranma showed up at the estate, though she instantly became suspicious when he asked for her help. Upon hearing that Shampoo had been kidnapped by Bu Xien who used various poisons she agreed to make an antitoxin for Ranma.

However as she was examining Ranma’s blood she knocked out Ryoga who had come with Ranma and attempted to seduce him. She pins a nervous Ranma to the wall where he told her that he would hurt her if he had to before begging for her help. She agreed on the condition that he take her along.

As Ranma fought Bu Kodachi examined the explosives that Shampoo was tied with. She tried to explain to Akane and Ukyo who restrained her thinking she was trying to hurt her that the explosives were fake. She was distracted when Bu activated Ranma’s curse. Bu was defeated as he was attempting to physically overpower Ranma-chan allowing her to heat up the water he was carrying revealing that he was really a women. Ranma explained Jusenkyo to Kodachi as the Bakeneko hadn’t.

Calming down she told everyone that the explosives were fake. As everyone looked over Shampoo Kodachi tried to talk to Bu as she recognized his style. When he refused to talk she was about to leave only for Ranma to thank her for her help. She didn’t seem to be to bothered by his curse and gave him a rose to remember her by.

Kodachi fully expected Bu to attack her so was ready for him. Though she was able to hold her own she gained the upper hand by playing off of his insecurities and arrogance. Eventually knocking him out by showing her own Love Lost potion that turned out to be knock out gas. She then proceeded to dress Bu-chan in a black lace nightgown.

While furious she calmed him down by threatening to call the police. He explained how Jusenkyo worked as well as why he wanted revenge on Shampoo. Glad to know that Ranma was really a boy Kodachi told Bu that he should accept the fact that he was really a women. Bu quickly called her out on her hypocrisy given her pursuit of Ranma. Kodachi agreed, but instead of giving up propositioned that the two work together

The two attempted to break Ranma and Shampoo up. Kodachi transferred to Furinkan High School where the two proceeded to keep the two away from each other by doing things such as repeatedly activating Shampoo’s curse, stealing her cloths, and scheming to increase her workload at the restaurant. While showing Ranma a more tender side to Kodachi.

During this time Bu encouraged Kodachi to wear something else besides black even going with her to try out new clothing. To which she convinced him to try some new things as well. When it started getting increasingly difficult to keep them apart Kodachi goaded Shampoo into attacking her in front of Ranma. Unfortunately while Ranma did chide Shampoo for her anger and send her off to calm down. He also called Kodachi out for antagonizing her having long since seen through her and Bus plan.

Though they failed Bu and Kodachi had fallen in love during their time together so decided to stop trying to break Ranma and Shampoo up.

When Cologne sent Perfume after Bu for thwarting one of her schemes to trick Ukyo Kodachi didn’t hesitate to protect him forcing Bu to drag her to Ucchan’s so she wouldn’t get hurt. He ended up having to knock her out when she wouldn’t relent. He got Cologne to leave him alone by reformulating formula 612 so that it worked on women.
