Ni hao! (Hello)
Shampoo, has come to this place to meet new people!
Shampoo, is the perfect bride yet Ranma too stupid to see it. I cook, clean, skilled martial artist, and beautiful, a much better choice then tomboy Akane!
I could travel back home to Joketsuzoku village its time I see the world! Maybe learn new training techniques in different lands!
All typles of new recipes and foods to try!
Moose finally take hint and stop stocking but still stays at the Neko Hanten to help when restaurant is busy. Grandma found cure for cat form! Now I don't have to worry when being hit with cold water! It was such a burden when it was raining!
SHAMPOO FACT TIME!
She is manipulative. She has repeatedly shown as devious and strategic as well as not being above scheming,[citation needed] play-acting[citation needed] or completely ruthless behavior to advance her position towards the object of her attention. However, Shampoo does seem to enjoy having fun from the trouble she causes, particularly if it means she can get close to Ranma as a result Smitten Shampoo being smitten with Ranma.
Given Shampoo's violent and protective behavior, she views anyone who attempts to get between her and Ranma as an "obstacle" which must be killed. However, she has also resorted to other methods to remove an "obstacle", such as when she used the "Xi Fa Xiang Gao" to wipe Akane's memories of Ranma; until they return at which time she decides to resort to her usual violent techniques.
With her knowledge of pressure points and moxibustion, Shampoo is open to the idea of manipulating other's will to her advantage, whether that be to eliminate Akane or increasing the likelihood of Ranma returning her feelings for him.
Of all the fiancées, Shampoo is the most sexually uninhibited and the most sensual, possibly due to her upbringing in a society including extensive warrior training for both males and females. Nudity is also not a problem for her, as she rather enjoys being naked and has attempted to seduce Ranma many times, even in dangerous places like under a giant bell. Early in the series, Kasumi Tendo had a talk with her about modesty. Although she did cease her faint-inducing habit of popping out of the tub naked anytime Ranma tried to take a bath, the conversation has apparently had little effect on her behavior other than that.
FIGHT
Having been trained in the martial art techniques of the Joketsuzoku since birth, with Cologne as her personal instructor and the young female village champion, Shampoo is an excellent armed or unarmed fighter, is very swift and acrobatic, and strong enough to casually walk right through reinforced stone walls on a regular basis. She uses a pair of chúi as her primary weapons, but is also shown using other weapons. These include a dao, spear, a bow, and a variety of polearms, including a Monk's Spade. She's noted to be a competent fighter by many other characters, and she seemed to scare Ranma while she was still attempting to kill her in her female form.
Shampoo is outclassed by Ranma however, and was swiftly overpowered the first few times she has seriously faced him in combat. She suffered a 1-hit loss during her village's martial arts competition, where the goal was to knock the opponent off the log they were standing on, and an accidental identical result when focused on killing Akane, both times before she was powered-up by Cologne. After Ranma lied to Shampoo that she was a girl all along, Shampoo made a strike at female Ranma, but Ranma's hand was positioned to block it, and Shampoo stopped herself before delivering it. In the anime continuity she actually seemed to overpower Ranma, Shampoo attacked more aggressively using her chúi, and Ranma tripped while dodging Shampoo's attacks and was left on the ground seemingly helpless. Fortunately Shampoo was unwilling to land the blow and stopped her attack. During the "Reversal Jewel" arc, Shampoo was again outmatched in unarmed combat, despite his holding back by only using restraining tactics, and her 'programming' to truly hate him.
WANTS
Shampoo's desire for a man or woman who can sweep her off her feet suggests that she might downplay her own strength either subconsciously or intentionally, perhaps to indulge in the fantasy of being rescued. Perhaps just the enjoy of losing control.
