Matter of Honor = Fem Ranma

[Spokavriel]

Are there any fics out there where Ranma has to live as a girl as a matter of honor. Similar to the Chardin arc of the series?

[Ellen Kuhfeld]

I've run into stories where Nodoka has an honor oath to raise her daughters as Women Among Women. And when she learns that Ranma can do "daughter", nothing will satisfy her honor but training onna-Ranma to WAW with the best of 'em.

That sounds interesting do you have a title or a link?

There are:

Cost of a Promise » by Ranko's Knight

Woman among women » by Makio
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2295817/1/Woman_among_women

I think there was more, but can't think now of any

I remember a few stories, but I can't think of the titles now. Fortunately, I've downloaded a lot of fanfic, so I can search for phrases like "woman among women".

Girl Days by Kenko has some of the "woman among women" plotline, but it's not exclusive. There's another story where Nodoka is trying to make Ranma be a Woman Among Women even though he was born male (and there's no Jusenkyo in the mix) -- can't remember anything but that.

I kinda knew Girl Days would come up. But the real key to full matches is that there is some Honor related reason for Ranma to be Female in the fic. Promises like the one used in Girl days counts. But what other ways are there that have been used to use Ranma's honor to make him Her.

One I always remember is Bridget Wilde's "I'm a Boy!".

That's the one I was trying to remember, too.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/270313/1/Saotomes_Choice <--Not exactly what you're looking for but it feels really close to me. He goes and lives with his mother under the 'Ranko' guise and won't leave because he wants a relationship with her...she goes and adopts him as her daughter, etc.

Schools United has the qualifications, but it's sort of dark.

[Sunshine Temple]

Oooh, nice links.

Yeah Schools United is rather dark, and a bit incomprehensible in how much Ranma took. Ah well.


I'm A Boy is a neat twist, and reading the Promise and WaW right now.

Read: Promise is a bit short and WaW is really lacking polish.

Real shame there's not more I'm A Boy.

Had it not, I'd've begun worrying about ya lot.

[Spokavriel]

How about Chaotic Rebirth by Trugeta I just said Ranma is a girl because of a matter of honor and that involves the Families Honor IMO. I mean the Rebirth of the Queen is something the whole family had been working towards since the formation of the Saotome clan?

Any others where Ranma is forced to be a girl because of someone else's honor?

[Kimina]

I'm not currently aware of any. None that don't break the Gratuitous Japanese rule, anyway.

[Spokavriel]

I'm not sure what you mean by Japanese rule. But breaking rules or not if the fic fits please feel free to share.
