Akane is a very strong-minded, and sometimes violent, girl. She can become angry and jealous, and is apt to hit Ranma a lot whenever this happens. But even though she does get angry, she does have a feminine side to her. She, having been raised in a family without a mother figure, has a hard time trying to sort out her feelings for Ranma. There many times when Akane is on the verge of telling Ranma what she really thinks. But it's almost always interrupted with something different every time. The rest of the time, she firmly denies any feelings for Ranma. Another problem without having a mother, is that she grew up to be a tomboy. She can't cook, she hates men, she fights all day, and her manners aren't spectacular, but that is part of what makes this series funny. In her own way, Akane could be seen as having male and female sides to herself mentally, as Ranma does physically.
