Well, I have one last question that's been bugging me.  What did RT 
intend Ukyou to really be like?  I've heard people say that she is the  least
violent of Ranma's "fiancees", and she's Ranma's best friend who  tries
to please him, but I'm also heard other people who point out the  contrary.
 For instance, in "Akane and Her Sisters", Ukyou actually tries  to kill
Akane during their "training" session.  If she did succeed in  killing Akane,
she seems smart enough to know that Ranma would probably  never talk
to her again.  I know that the OAVs  sometimes present things that RT
(I'm sorry, I don't know how to spell  her name, but I'll find out soon
enough :) ) never intended, but I'm  still confused on forming an opinion
on her character based on the  information I have.

First off, you spelled her name correctly.  Second, as you seem to be
aware, the anime is not a good source for what RT intended.  This
particular video is flagrant in its disregard for RT continuity and design
(some have gotten the impression that Akane is as good or nearly as
good a martial artist as Ranma).  Then again, this may be because the
video has no corresponding story in the manga...
