Character Profile: Nabiki Tendo

She is Soun's middle daughter at age 17. Nabiki is a mischievous con artist. She finds ways to turn a profit from the odd situations she becomes involved in. She maintains a steady income selling kettles of hot water to Ranma when he desperatly needs to change back into a guy (happens quite often).

Nabiki Tendou is the middle of the Tendou sisters and probably the richest. A practical and enterprising young lady, her potential claim to fame is her ability to squeeze a yen out of almost anything. Her numerous profiting pursuits include but are not limited to selling kettles of hot water to Ranma when he (or should I say she) gets doused, swindling classmate Tatewaki Kunou by selling tantalizing photos of the pigtailed girl (at too high a price, I might add), and arranging bets when Ranma fights.

Speaking of Ranma, she also frequently loans money out to him/her (at a high interest rate). Seemingly, it gives her (in her own mind) the right to manipulate him (and sometimes tease him about his girl trouble). Thus, Ranma doesn't like the middle Tendo sister very well, especially when it comes time to pay up.
