First of all, can anyone tell me anything about Kuruma, the Tengu princess? Specifically, does she have any of the "paranormal powers" the other aliens have? (Oni flight, Lum's electricity, Ten's fire breath, Oyuki's cryokinesis, etc...)
Yes. She can generate tremendous winds with the use of a fan; it's somewhat like the abilities of Temari of the Sand in
Naruto.
Secondly, how does Ryuunosuke's father compare to Genma Saotome, from Ranma 1/2? Which is the worse single parent?
Well, he isn't as lazy. He and Ryuunosuke live in the high school, and run the school store. He also does not use training methods that are particularly sadistic. However, he absolutely refuses to allow Ryuunosuke anything that is in the slightest bit feminine. She can't even wear a bra; she has to wrap her chest with cloth strips to minimize her bustline. She also has a boy's name. She and her father constantly fight, and I'm talking fists. Her father has the ability to call up huge waves of seawater out of nowhere.
Thirdly, how would Ryuunosuke compare in terms of her fighting abilities to a Ranma 1/2 cast member martial artist?
She's a brawler, but she would be able to make a good showing against just about any of the girls of
Ranma 1/2. Ryuunosuke grew up being beaten by her father, and is very tough.
Finally, I've heard something about Ryuunosuke having a fiance, a boy who was raised as a girl; can anyone tell me anything about him?
His name is Nagisa, which is a girl's name.
This web page has a comparison of Ryuunosuke to Ranma and Ukyou.
There's a writeup of Nagisa here:
