Profile: Cologne is the great-grandmother of Shampoo and is also from the Village of Amazons. Cologne possesses a wealth of martial arts knowledge, much of which she has passed on to Shampoo, in the hope that she would become a strong warrior.
When Shampoo returned to China after first finding out that Ranma the girl and Ranma the boy were one and the same, Cologne told Shampoo that she would have to re-train all over again. In the middle of their training at Jusenkyo, however, Cologne knocked Shampoo into the Spring of Drowned Cat, cursing her.
Shampoo then told Cologne about the unique circumstances surrounding her situation, and Cologne relented, trusting in the fact that Ranma was a strong man who would make a good husband for Shampoo. Cologne then made her way to Japan with Shampoo, where she runs the restaurant that they opened, the Cat Cafe.
Cologne has since "trained" Ranma many times, and though she might seem to be causing trouble for Ranma, she really is teaching Ranma new things. The only reason Cologne is letting these Amazon martial arts secrets go, however, is to somehow get Ranma to marry Shampoo and go back to China with them.
Personality: Cologne is very calm and collected, not to mention quite knowledgeable (obviously due to her age). She's apt to emphasize her seniority, and can back it up quite easily. Always trying to find a new way to get Ranma to marry Shampoo, Cologne pulls out plenty of tricks to try to attain her goals.She is honorable, however, and gives you the benefit of the doubt if you best her.
