RyoOhkiCharProfile

Ryo-Ohki is a lovable cabbit and Ryoko's spaceship. Washu created the first Ryo-Ohki by combining a mineral life form and the Mass. The current Ryo-Ohki is the offspring of Ryoko's first spaceship. The first Ryo-Ohki was completely destroyed when she crashed into Earth with Ryu-Oh. The ship was aware of its destruction and reproduced itself with an egg from which the current Ryo-Ohki was born. As a ship she is identical to her parent Ryo-Ohki, however it is unknown whether her animal form is synonymous as well. In addition to her animal and spaceship shape, Ryo-Ohki has the ability to change into a crystal state. Ryo-Ohki has the body of a rabbit but many habits of a cat (except for her appetite for carrots). Her cat-like mannerisms are due to Ryoko's intervention. On the first day of his summer holiday (before the first OAV begins), Tenchi found a seriously injured cat (whom he named "Chibi") lying near the steps of the Shrine. Tenchi cared for the cat, but it was really Ryoko who saved Chibi's life with her energy. When Ryoko was revived, she had to take her energy back from Chibi. Ryoko then assimilated Chibi into the second generation Ryo-Ohki, which is why Ryo-Ohki behaves more cat-like than rabbit-like.
   Ryo-Ohki is connected to Ryoko and can communicate with her in a telepathic manner as well as locate Ryoko over long distances. When Ryo-Ohki is in ship form, She does not understand (or perhaps recognize) operating orders from anyone else except Ryoko. Although there are times that Ryoko is mean to Ryo-Ohki, they share a strong bond and Ryo-Ohki is intensly loyal to her.
   When Ryo-Ohki first hatched, she seemed to like Sasami immediately and is now her constant companion. Ryo-Ohki enjoys riding on Sasami's head or shoulders, and they usually share the same bed at night. Ryo-Ohki is very sensative to Sasami's feelings and knows when she is upset. She also adores Tenchi and was devastated when she believed he hated her. Ryo-Ohki also seems to have strong feelings for Mihoshi as well, and cried loudly when Mihoshi left to complete her work for the galaxy police.
In the beginning, Ryo-Ohki was naiive about her surroundings and did not realize that she couldn't walk through glass. Ryo-Ohki does have the ability to phase through objects, but when she is exited she sometimes forgets to focus her power and then bumps into doors. When Ryo-Ohki is intoxicated, she loses control of her ability to maintain her cabbit form and will change back and forth from a cabbit to a crystal.
   Ryo-Ohki has an overwhelming affinity for carrots, and can eat them without ever becoming full (if anyone would allow her to do this). She enjoys helping Tenchi plant and especially harvest the carrots, but at first she was unaware of the length of time required for a carrot to grow and was impatient to dig them up and eat them. It is very easy to bribe and taunt her with carrots and she can be very possesive of them.
    Ryo-Ohki wants to be friends with everyone and she does not like to see anyone angry, upset, or crying. She becomes very elated whenever she can help or make someone smile. She can also be very persistent in her efforts to comfort someone, but when the roles are reversed, it can be extremely difficult to console her. Ryo-Ohki will isolate herself others and refuse to try to communicate what is bothering her. At first, Ryo-Ohki did not know what a baby was, but she soon learned that she did not like it because in addition to eating her carrot, baby Taro sucked on her ear and thumped her up and down by the tail. Nonetheless, due to her desire to please, Ryo-Ohki tried to comfort Taro, only to leave with a sore tail and a very wet ear.
   Ryo-Ohki is very interested in her origins as well as images or reflections od herself. She accidentally influenced the Mass that were being held in one of Washu's tanks and they escaped. Although the risk was great, Ryo-Ohki wanted to protect Tenchi and put herself in great danger by attacking the Mass. At Washu's command, Ryo-Ohki assimilated with the mass and took on a humanoid form. Ryo-Ohki soon realized that she could not maintain her balance in an adult humanoid shape, so instead, she changed to a child to practice walking (and to lower her centre of gravity for better balance). Whenever Ryo-Ohki is in humanoid form and is startled or falls, she reverts back to her cabbit form. Her only identifiable word (aside from "meow") is "carrots". Whether she is a child or a cabbit, the adorable Ryo-Ohki has the ability to charm even the most reserved and withdrawn person.
