Ranma-chan and Ranko shrine
This is my shrine to Ranma-chan and Ranko. To avoid some confusion, I'll define Ranma-chan as the female version (temporary or permanent of Ranma) and Ranko as the female-from-birth version of Ranma-chan.
It seems to me that when Ranma is in Ranma-chan form the "he" is much more at peace, more balanced, gets along better with others and is under less pressure. The stories that feature Ranma deciding to remain Ramna-chan forever remind me of what Ranma-chan said in the episode Pretty Womanhood:
"How do I explain it? It feels like I've just awakened from a long, refreshing sleep, as if I've experienced an amazingly long dream. I don't know quite how to describe it. It's as if my experiences until now aren't mine. It seems so unreal, as if I have another person's memories."
"And this morning, the real me suddenly awakened. I finally realized that I was a woman."
This shrine is going to be divided into a number of different areas:
