Ranma-Chan is the female form of Saotome Ranma. This is due to Ranma's
unfortunate fall into the Cursed Spring of the Drowned Girl. Since then Ranma
turns into a girl whenever he is doused with hot water and reverts to male when
slashed with cold water. Ranma really doesn't like being part female, and
will try almost anything to be turned back to normal. However, after a while,
Ranma recognises the advantages of being a female, and get use to the idea , and is often in
this form.

to him, the "Pigtailed Girl."
