Tatewaki Kunou
|
Although almost every character from Ranma 1/2 has his/her own plethora of quirks, Kunou seems to fit this card's descriptors best. How many people do you know that are so devoted to Shakespeare and speak in 17th century grammar? The manner in which his mind works and his eccentric personality not only guide and define him, but often lead him into his adventures (follies). He is very brash and cocky in his movements and endeavors. His actions rarely appear to stem from a defined point of logic -- e.g. the "Pig-tailed Girl." Though she beat him and sneered in his face, he was thereafter fanatically infatuated with her.
I - The Magus
Skill. Adroitness. Elasticity. Craft. Sometimes occult wisdom or power.

Mousse
|
It is impossible to deny that Mousse is highly skilled in his quadrant of martial arts. He literally defines the cliche of "who knows what he's got up his sleeve." According to the information garnered from himself and the Amazons (Shampoo and Cologne), he is very knowledgeable in a multitude of techniques. His dexterity and flexibility (mental and physical) are observed over and over throughout the series. Mousse is undubitably given far less credit than he deserves.
II - The Priestess
Gracious influence enters the matter, hence change, alternation, increase and decrease, fluctuation. May be led away by enthusiasm unless careful balance maintained.

Kodachi Kunou
|
Kodachi was the first female interested in Ranma and to interfere in his relationship with Akane and try to gain him for herself. Thus, she stands as the first symbol of the overwhelming changes due to enter their lives: Ranma's multiple love-interests. Fluctuation is an element easily seen in her through her reactions to Ranma's male and female forms: love for the former, hate for the latter. Lastly, Kodachi is VERY easily carried away by enthusiasm -- whether in winning at rhythmic gymnastics or attempting to gain Ranma's love. Even her loud, overdrawn laughter exhibits this quality!
III - The Empress
Love. Beauty. Happiness. Good fortune. Graciousness. Elegance. Gentleness.

Kasumi Tendou
|
The meaning of this card perfectly describes the eldest Tendou daughter. She always has a smile and a kind word for all those around her, despite the chaotic circumstances that surround her. The worst thing to happen to her was possession by an Oni and she was still sweet and gracious, even while under its evil influences. Her gentle beauty, manners, and mien fit her perfectly into the role of deck's "Empress."
IV - The Emperor
War. Conquest. Victory. Strife. Power. Energy. Ambition. Megalomania. Ill-temper.

Saffron
|
Saffron, the main "villain" from the end of the manga series, is the maniacal ruler of the Phoenix people. However, he has been raised as a selfish, spoiled brat, intent only on attaining the ultimate power that is his destiny. In order to gain that power, however, he must transform from his child state to an adult form, and he doesn't care who he has to hurt or try to kill to do so. He is very powerful as a child and nigh invincible as an adult.
V - The Hierophant
Divine wisdom. Stubborn strength. Endurance. Persistence. Teaching. Help from superiors. Occult force occasionally invoked.

Cologne
|
Although hardly divine, Cologne is both wise and knowledgeable. She seems to be familiar with almost every martial art, magic, artifact, etc. Knowledge concerning various techniques is occasionally shared with Ranma and Ryouga. Endurance applies
because she has managed to live for such an incredibly long time. She is also very dogmatic when it comes to cooking up
schemes to get Shampoo and Ranma together.
