The eldest daughter of Soun Tendo is Kasumi, who is 19. After their mother died she took over the role of mother in the house, and frankly we can’t expect Akane or Nabiki to be any good. She mostly wears dresses and always has her hair tied over her left shoulder. Kasumi Tendo, 19, is the eldest daughter of the Tendo family. She is kind and almost constantly cheery. She likes Dr. Tofu, who is madly in love with her, but I don’t think either of them realises that the other one likes them. Kasumi never complains about the amount of work that she has to do, or the fact that other than cooking and cleaning, she has time for very little else. When she does have free time, she likes to go borrow a book from her dear friend, Dr. Tofu. Kasumi is always very calm and often takes care of the bumps and bruises Akane and Ranma suffer. She is very kind and nurturing, but as Soun has said, she is often taken for granted by the family that she so lovingly cares for. Personality: Even though she's only 19, she is very much a quiet, kind and gentle motherly person, who is quite selfless. She is also very stable, and calm in a crisis or in the face of something shocking. However, she does occasionally get angry with others - typically Ranma when he's upset Akane again or her father when he's done something stupid again. While she does often seem quite oblivious to what’s going on, she is not living in her own rose-tinted world - for example, she saw right through Nabiki pretending to love Ranma.
