Ryoko is a reformed space pirate. Throughout all of the Tenchi Muyo series', she is madly in love with Tenchi Masaki. She becomes, to some extent, a romantic antagonist to Tenchi as her antics wear him down. She is always shown to have a very competitive relationship with Ayeka, who also has a very strong romantic interest in Tenchi. Ryoko describes herself as a sadist and this is fairly accurate throughout. She enjoys toying with Mihoshi and Ayeka. Ryoko has differing abilities between the different storylines (Tenchi Muyo, Tenchi Universe and so on).

[edit] Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki

In the 'Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki' series, Ryoko is actually the product of combining Washu's ovum with a creature known as a "mass", effectively making Washu her mother. This is played upon several times as Washu shows equal or greater sadism than her daughter with degrading comments about Ryoko's physical appearance. The most extreme example of the mother-daughter sadism is when Washu, knowing Ryoko has a fear of being trapped in cold and dark places, leaves Ryoko trapped in her lab. After a single night Ryoko breaks and begins weeping "mommy" over and over while Washu records the incident for future blackmail material. Despite this, the two do share more parental moments such as when Washu states that she will not force Ryoko to have her mind assimilated with Zero's but, possibly because of a grudging respect for Washu or simply because she wants to, Ryoko agrees. In 'Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki', Ryoko can survive a complete vaccum, fire lasers from her hands, create a laser sword, fly, summon evil spirits, teleport, control rock by morphing it into a stone replica of her own body, regenerating lost limbs along with telepathy shared with Ryo-ohki and Washu.

[edit] Tenchi Universe

In Tenchi Universe, she is much more limited as she can no longer survive in a vaccum, regenerate, call spirits, control stone or many other things.

[edit] Tenchi in Tokyo

Like Tenchi Universe, she has hardly any powers. She can't survive in a vaccum, regenerate, call spirits, control stone or many other things.
