What if the spring of drowned girl from Ranma 1/2 gave the form (including all wearables) for if the character had been born female? It would definitely cause Ranma an order of magnitude more grief than before and trying to think of what would happen is rather amusing at times.

Example

{i} In the form of a highly anemic Anime Addventure episode.

*Splash*

It was a familiar sight to any interdimensional beings who frequented this area of the multiverse, a teenage boy being knocked into the Nyannichuan by his newly cursed father. But this Jusenkyo was different. When Ranma surfaced, he was the same in mind but his body, right down to the clothing, was as if "she" had been born female. When Ranma surfaced, "she" was...:

  1. wearing a gi that fit better than it should have, little did "she" know that less gender-neutral clothing would produce much more spectacular changes. (The "Ranma's clothing changes too" option. This does transformations like Tuxedo-to-Gown)
  2. wearing casual clothing typical of a Japanese girl and with little muscular development (looks like Genma wouldn't have trained his daughter)
  3. Like option 1 or 2 but Ranma's cursed form will always match the appearance of some alternate-dimensional Ranko as of the time of Ranma's most recent transformation.
  4. Like option 3 when based on option 1 but Ranma is loosely linked to "Ranko" so any improvements Ranma makes will be mirrored in her. I hope she doesn't hurt anyone by accident.
  5. Like above but the clothing doesn't change back with hot water. (Looks like Ranma is gonna REALLY hate water)
  6. wearing Something Else *cue ominous fanfare*

Option 3

Guide: Oh, you fall in Nyannichuan. Very tragic story...
Ranma: Why the hell am I wearing a fuku?
Guide: That Japanese school uniform, yes? If you born girl, you be in school right now.

Option 4

Meanwhile...

Ranko experiences a momentary dizzy spell. "Ok, that's it. No more skipping breakfast."

My Opinions

Option 3 could be funny if Ranma ends up relying on a punctual Ranko and then she makes an exception to her usual mode of dress just in time to unknowingly mess with Ranma.

Option 4 would probably do best if Ranko either gets a visit from the Chinese Amazons (complete with explanation of why she's getting so strong and agile) or meets Ranma in mutual shared dreams. I also suggest that she start getting "skill bleed-through" (In other words, she can access Ranma's conscious skills when in danger and she always has his martial arts instincts to tell her when to dodge random dangers)

Either way, if I ever find time to write this, I'll probably go with option 4.
