Ukyou's life story

Ten years ago, on a training journey with his father, Ranma stole okonomiyaki (japanese pizza) from Ukyou's father's food cart, defeating Ukyou everyday. However, it was a friendly rivalry - Ukyou drew pictures with okonomiyaki sauce on the okonomiyakis for Ranma. Ukyou's father told Genma that Ukyou said she wants to be Ranma's wife. Genma said Ranma already has a fiancee'. Ukyou's father said too bad, he was thinking of giving them the food cart for a dowry. Genma said we'll take her. In this quandary, he made Ranma decide; he asked Ranma which he liked better, okonomiyaki or Ukyou. Unaware of Ukyou's wish or even that Ukyou is a girl, Ranma chose okonomiyaki, so Genma and Ranma ran off with the yatai and left Ukyou behind. Shamed and ridiculed by her peers, Ukyou decided she wouldn't like boys forever, dressed and lived as one, and devoted herself to okonomiyaki style martial arts. Years later, when Ranma discovers her actual gender and Ukyou discovers that Ranma does not get along with his other fiancee', they reconcile and she becomes enamored of him. Ukyou became Ranma's cute fiancee'. But Ranma generally treats Ukyou only like an old friend. Ranma sometimes calls Ukyou "Ucchan". Ukyou runs the Ucchan okonomiyaki shop in town. Since then, Ukyou tries to win Ranma's heart.
