Ranma 1/2: Beyond - Tora Tarou

NAME: Tora(yuri) Tarou

AGE: 16 1/2

PARENTS: Rink & Pantyhose Tarou

PRIMARY MARTIAL ARTS STYLE: Amazon, specializes in plant style her mother and aunt used. Also uses Tarou's style, Mien Ch'uan - fighting style designed to avoid attacks and strike when there is an opening.

WEAPONS: Tsumetsue (Talon Whipping Rod) which looks basically like a handheld garden tool, but the claw part is attached to a coiled spring loaded cable, and the back end extends into a rod. Also the Torayuri Glaive (Tigerlily glaive). Yes, she named it after herself. It's a two sided glaive wrapped with two vines that you don't want to be on either end of.

CURSED FORM: None

BEST FRIEND: None

PRESENT NEMESIS: The Tarou Family, sans herself.

LOVES: Can't (see History)

LOVED BY: Forthcoming...

TEMPERAMENT: Due to the Bankan, an emotion draining stone, her temperament is even. She never gets mad, sad, happy or anything, but that doesn't mean she doesn't get even. If the stone is cracked, she'll begins to experience emotions she never felt, and it a very turbulent ride. She'll not be a happy camper.

Also, since she doesn't act on impulse, like for example, Akane, she tends to make the best of all situations because she thinks them through first. Tora believes that emotions leave you weak, and often tells people so, especially women. She doesn't like or hate anyone, unless they can win her respect through fighting.

BRIEF HISTORY: Mystery surrounds her birth. To make it short, Tarou was tricked using secret herbs into sleeping with Rink, and doesn't remember it. He leaves the next day. Rink had grown attached to him in that short time, and even after Tora is born, she is gloomy. She teaches her the ways of the Amazon, but her sister Pink is disgusted that Rink has been reduced to this sad state by a man. When Rink is bed ridden while Tora is around 6 due to injury gained in battle, Pink takes over Tora's training. She tells her that emotions leave you weak, and not only taught her Amazon style, but also taught her the style she had seen Tarou use, called Mien Ch'uan . Her goal was to have Tora kill Tarou in revenge for leaving Rink an emotional wreck. Rink dies later that year and the pain of losing her mother as well as the father she never met drives Tora to volunteer for the very painful process of getting the Bankan, reasoning being "To suffer great pain one last time and then never feel anything ever again is better then suffering a lifetime of sorrows." Prompted by Pink, she then leaves her village at age 16 to find her estranged father.

MAIN GOAL:To find and kill Tarou in vengeance for her mother.
