Bu Xiang

**Bu Xiang** (aka Bu Xien) is an original character created by Wade Tritschler. Not only does he have good standing in the AAADTG school, but his uncle is fairly well off and considered somewhat upperclass, or at least as close as you can get to one being in China, and he is heir to it all.

## Appearance

Bu Xiang is a fairly tall teenage Chinese boy with long blonde hair wearing dark Sunglasses. Which he is shown to be very attached to claiming that you can get some real advantage in combat if an opponent can't see your eyes.

## Personality

Bu is a trans man. He is shown to be an extremely short-tempered and proud young man with little social skills as he had few friends growing up due to his curse. He is shown to have a very chauvinistic view on women which is most likely a combination of his mother’s upbringing and a way to reinforce his masculinity often finding out his true gender as he refuses to do anything that might be construed as feminine. Though like Ranma he seems to have no problem using his true form to get free food.

His hatred for Shampoo is due to her exposing to his village how Jusenkyo curses actually work. This is mostly just him projecting his insecurities onto her. While he identifies as a man and is attracted to women he still confused about who he is something that wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for Shampoo.

Despite his pragmatism and ruthlessness Bu is show to be unwilling to kill. He has also shown an incredible intellect, able to predict opponents, and plan well ahead, on top of his knowledge of chemistry.

## History

Bu Xiang’s mother had hoped for a son so when Bu was born she took her to Jusenkyo and bathed her in the spring of drowned man. She raised Bu as a boy until she died in a rock slide when he was 6. Bu didn’t even realize that she was a girl because her mother told everyone in the village the curse worked the opposite way. i.e cold water changes her into her true form while and hot into her cursed. When she died everyone assumed she told the truth. He was raised from then on by his uncle, he never knew his father. It wasn’t until Shampoo showed up in the village showing everyone how Jusenkyo curses actually work that Bu realized her true gender.

Despite this Bu still identified as male to the point and vowed revenge on Shampoo for exposing her true identity. He met Perfume at Nyuchiehzu when he went there searching for Shampoo. Not being in the best of moves he didn’t make the greatest of impressions. He later tracked her down in Nerima where after incapacitating everyone he kidnapped her.

He allowed himself to be followed by Ukyo and Perfume to were he had Shampoo tied up with a bunch of explosives and told them to bring him Ranma or he’d kill her. he challenged Ranma to a duel if he won he would let Ranma go, but Bu won Ranma would drink a potion that would cause him to stop loving Shampoo.

While Ranma accepted Bu’s challenge he went to Kodachi before hand whose help allowed him to become immune to Bu’s poisons. She also revealed that the explosives around Shampoo were fake. Bu proved to be no match for, but gained the upper hand when he activated Ranma’s curse. The match was decided when Ranma used the Lightning Style to heat up water revealing Bu’s true gender.

Despite his defeat Bu didn’t stop seeking revenge on Shampoo though he refused to tell them why he was angry with her. He initially decided to get back at Kodachi for foiling his initial plans.

He attacked Kodachi in her garden, but she was expecting him and the two proceeded to see which one of them was better at preparing drugs. Kodachi accused Bu of squandering his opportunity for revenge infuriating him further. The match ended when she insulted his love lost potion and allowed him to examine the one she made which turned out to be knock out gas.

When Bu awoke Kodachi threatened to call the police if he didn’t answer her question. 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

Much to Kodachi’s amusement Bu-chan was forced to wear a dress around the mansion as that was the only thing she gave him. Until he met Kuno who he beat up and stole his cloths. The two attempted to break Ranma and Shampoo up by keeping 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 resturant. 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. Ultimately their plan failed as Ranma saw through it, but during this time the two grew close. Bu realized that he had fallen in love with Kodachi and stop wasting his time on revenge and focus son her. Kodachi decided to give him a chance as well.

Bu came to Ucchan’s preventing Cologne from tricking Ukyo into marrying Perfume, by calling her out on her bluff that not doing so would have dire consequences for Perfume. Pointing out that she is still the best the village has had in over a generation as well as Cologne’s tenuous position with the council meaning she couldn’t do anything even if she wanted to.
In response she sent Perfume after him. Kodachi tried to fight Perfume off only to prove no match so Bu knocked her out and left her at Ucchan’s. Not wanting to deal with the amazon went with her to Cologne so they could make a deal about helping her with Ukyo. Cologne agreed and Bu reformulated formula 612 so that it worked on women and gave back the potion he stole.
