Ranpha Franboise

Ranpha Franboise (蘭花・フランボワーズ, Ranfa Furanbowāzu) is a fictional character from the anime, manga and dating sim series, Galaxy Angel.

Ranpha Franboise is a young, tough woman of 18 who enjoys practicing martial arts and magic. Flirtatious and vain, she is obsessed with her looks and attracting men and their money. On her head is a pair of bulbous hair clips which function as melee weapons, machine guns, and jet engines, among other things.

When she was a child, Ranpha discovered a broken robot doll discarded on a trash heap. Naming it Stevia, she took it home to repair and raise. Their relationship was generally very good, except that Stevia had the tendency to become jealous whenever Ranpha was having fun without it. It would respond to this apparent neglect by attacking her, especially at important times like meeting a potential boyfriend. Eventually, Ranpha could not stand being with that robot anymore and left home to join the military wihout telling anyone.

Ranpha has a fascination in aspects of Chinese culture, which is notable in her style of dress and room decorations, but is most fond of Chinese martial arts. She has been an excellent fighter since childhood, capable of besting the toughest and most numerous opponents in hand-to-hand combat. Her incredible strength even allows her to lift heavy loads and crack concrete. She can be rather dangerous, however, as she tends to strike at people she finds annoying or in her way. She most often gets into fights with Forte, who happens to be the only one who can match Ranpha in fighting prowess.

Not entirely matter over mind, Ranpha also dabbles in mysticism. She seems to possess remarkably powerful magical abilities, seldom yielding disasterous results. She is quite talented in fortune-telling and is competent in folk medicine, and has even shown some skill in necromancy. A common affinity for magic (and a bar fight) associates Ranpha with Kahlua Marjoram, who is by her own right a capable sorcerer and alchemist.

Ranpha is constantly seeking love, as evident by her frequent fliring and interest in dating sims. A major life goal is to marry a handsome, preferrably rich, man. Although she has had several boyfriends and almost married a few times, she is generally unlucky in her pursuits and often remains single and sometimes badly injured.

At the age of 22, Ranpha had finally settled down in marriage, only to divorce shortly after and join Forte on a roadtrip.
