Profile: Rouge is a girl who had fallen into the Spring of Drowned Ashura and who changes into a form of the goddess (3 heads, 6 arms) when splashed with cold water.
Originally, Rouge was after Pantyhose Tarou not only because he had accidentally peeped in on her when she was bathing, but also because Tarou had unknowingly stolen her "source of power", something which gave her full control over her powers in her Ashura form. Rouge had thus followed Tarou to Japan, after having beaten up Tarou even while he was a monster.
Tarou claimed that he hadn't stolen anything from Rouge, and appealed to Ranma for help when Rouge begins to attack Tarou while in her Ashura form. Though Ranma believed that Tarou actually did steal something from Rouge, Rouge attacked both Ranma and Tarou because it looked like they were working together as a team. It was eventually found that Tarou did somehow steal something from Rouge - small round objects which were the "source of her power". Rouge did get these objects back, and with them almost mangles both Tarou and Ranma. Heavily exhausted, Rouge empties herself of all her power, but it is found that the source of her power is very easy to replace - all they are is magnetic plasters which keep your back from getting stiff. Rouge buys a whole bunch of them, and leaves in peace.
Personality: Rouge seems to be a nice enough girl, but can be very angry and vindictive when need be. Her powerful form enables her to use devastating attacks capable of destroying buildings. Her anger against Tarou mostly stems from the fact that she believes Tarou evil, moreso than out of any intense hatred of him.
