She's been shown as completely indifferent to the plights she puts them through. Her love of money frequently leads her to betray her family to gain more of it, and she's been more than willing to ruin them to win a bet, or destroy her sister's wedding to get presents. She has taken advantage of Ranma's comparatively honest, straightforward nature and his moral 'inhibitions' for an effortless income source, such as regularly selling revealing or semi-revealing photographs of girl Ranma(Set of five for 3000/5000 yen!) to many of her schoolmates, taking world-wide orders for above-themed handkerchief prints, attempting to use him as a servant, or generally swindling him. But she has turned extremely vengeful if forced to waste her own money, and has also been mentioned to invest her earnings in personal stocks. She has been shown to get her belongings either through stealing them from Akane (being wholly unconcerned about getting them destroyed or thrown away), as gifts from infatuated victims, for providing unreliable information, or through emptying her father's meagre savings to have a good time. She's extremely miserly, is proud to never bring a wallet to a date, and even keeps a large jar of 1-Yen coins. She has also taken advantage of the situation her family finds themselves in with the embattled engagement between Ranma Saotome and her sister Akane. She has shown no compunctions about severely betraying her family, or cheerfully and extensively tormenting someone who's just saved her own life twice over. But also as sadistic, petty, sarcastic, manipulative, contemptuous, impatient, extremely greedy, irresponsible/wont to foist her blame onto others, nearly barren of conscience or compassion and completely amoral, but seems to be childish at times, and is very fond of all types of tasty treats, including junk food. Nabiki has been shown to be observant, curious, resourceful and cool under pressure. She is frequently depicted in the manga wearing costumes drafted by Erté. Nabiki has a more extravagant sense of fashion than either Akane or Kasumi, although it is revealed that she also borrows Akane's clothes. Aside from the Furinkan High School uniform for female students, she tends to wear a tank top and shirt with shorts or sweater and jeans at home. As the middle sister, she is midway in height between her sisters, which also characterizes her personal style. Nabiki has chin-length hair (brown in the anime) that she wears in a bob cut. She's been portrayed in her general character since her interactions with Kuno a few chapters later. It was not until she learned the pigtailed martial artist turned into a girl that she changed her mind. She hoped he was cute and was initially pleased with what she saw. Though she is usually shown as unconcerned about other people, and has been outright stated to have 'no maidenly feelings', Nabiki was the one who displayed the most initial interest in Ranma when her father announced the pending arrival of a well-travelled guy. She generally ensures that the violence around her finds other targets to occupy its attention, although she mis-planned, and briefly found herself defenseless, when Shampoo and Kodachi decided to simply kill her. She has also occasionally manifested a variant of the standardised intimidating battle aura that is recurrently used by various characters for comedic effect, but like Kasumi, and unlike her father, it hasn't been shown as useful for anything else, and is only workable when she's thoroughly mad/furious. The only fighting skill she has shown is clobbering Kuno unconscious with a small mallet from behind, while the latter was completely distracted, although Akane also performed the same feat just previously. Although she always keeps her wits about her, she has herself stated that she's a completely untalented fighter. While she comes from a martial arts school, Nabiki is not a combatant. In the anime she has also taken bets on Ranma's fights. She also regularly uses incrimination or blackmail to get what she wants. She encouraged Kuno to keep his infatuation with female Ranma and Akane to further her regular sales of clandestinely-taken photos, which he keeps in a large album. Even at her young age, she is gifted at methodically serving her own interests at the expense of anyone else, including her family, and has no compunctions against emotionally wrecking, manipulating, tormenting, impoverishing or setting up others in life-threatening situations for either money, amusement or petty pride, even if she owes them her life several times over. Nabiki is the middle of the three Tendo sisters and is a second year student at Furinkan High School.
