Nodoka Saotome

Driven by a deep maternal longing, this devoted mother has spent over a decade separated from her son, Ranma, following a strict training pact made with Genma. To ensure Ranma’s growth, she was kept away to avoid any parental distractions. Often unknowingly interacting with the boy in his female form, she eventually discovers the truth behind the Saotome family's magical curse. Despite the shock, she remains an incredibly accepting and loving figure throughout their reunion.
