Profile: Kodachi Kuno is the little sister of Tatewaki Kuno, and calls herself the "Black Rose" of Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics. In some ways, she is very similar to her brother, and in some ways she is not. However, one thing is for sure: she is prepared to do anything to win, even dirty tricks..
Kodachi usually ambushes her opponents before her matches, and wins by default most of the time. Unfortunately, when she was to face Akane Tendo she was unable to effectively disable her beforehand. It was during one of these attempts that she met Ranma Saotome and fell head over heels in love with him.
Kodachi then found out that Akane was Ranma-kun's fiance, and redoubled her efforts to try to disable her and win Ranma. In the end though, Akane injured herself, and the girl to take her place was....Ranma (in girl form)!
Kodachi was defeated by the substitute Ranma-chan, and to this day does not know that Ranma-chan (girl) and Ranma-kun (boy) are the same person. Kodachi thinks that the "pig-tailed girl" she fought is also in love with Ranma, and believes Akane and the pig-tailed girl to be obstacles to her true love, Ranma. It is her hope to somehow eliminate both of them so she can have her "Ranma-sama" all to herself.
Personality: Kodachi is basically a twisted version of her brother, Tatewaki Kuno, but without the sense of honor that T. Kuno has. Kodachi has no scruples about using, paralysis gas, poison, nails, or any type of means possible to get what she wants. Kodachi just about ranks up there with Nabiki in terms of nefarious intent, but Nabiki, at least, limits her activity to extortion. Kodachi is very determined about winning her darling Ranma away from Akane. A truly evil and backstabbing character, but in the comedic sense.
