I got to thinking more about some bad guys to face off against Elemental Ranma-chan. For the one who would be after her to control her I was thinking it could be Gos who got his hands on a magical object that works an has some real power too it. Gos finds in a old shop a book and a guantlet. The book tells about the powers the gauntlet has to create golems out of things by just useing the finger to crave a smybol on the matrial.
That's the gauntlet's minor power, it's main power is to control the Elemental to the wearer's will. It can even control the human form of the Elemental but not Ranma's guy form. Once the Elemental is controled by the gauntlet the weilder can draw off her Elemental mana to create more powerful golems. they are also able to then cast spells useing the elemental mana.
I was thinking things would start in Nerima with Gos sending out a few rock golems to smash Kuno in a try to impress Akane. While Kuno fights the Rock Golems Ranma shows up an after trying to fight them while a guy an human gets knocked into the pool an then she sighs an changes to one of her elemental forms. Gos sees the Elemental show up an this surprises but delights him also since the little power he had to make golems was already turning him bad.
So we could have a few moments when Gos gets control over elemental Ranma-chan only to use up her avaliable elemental mana, turning her back to human an then hot water hitting her turning her into Ranma-kun who remembers everything he's made to do when his girl side gets controled by the gauntlet. Que Ranma-kun giveing Gos a beat down an then trying to get the gauntlet away from him but the guy always finds a way to escape. Gos for the most part isn't a real danger to Ranma unless he able to touch Ranma-chan with the gauntlet when she in one of her elemental modes, then he becomes a real danger.
Another enemy Ranma-chan can have would be Pluto who also out to get the gaunlet to give to Sailor Moon. she figures hitting Ranma's girl side with locking water she can then become a useful weapon an kept from twisting the timeline away from crystal tokyo. As you can guess Ranma not fond of this plan, but Pluto has trouble in she can't focus the timegate on Nerima so she unable to learn where Gos hide out is or even when he going to go after Ranma-chan to give her chance to try an steal the gauntlet from him. I'm pictureing her making trips into nerima trying to sneak around an find Gos and or Ranma-chan but she never seems to be there at the right time. an then she goes home only to hear on the news that another battle happened between the two almost as soon as she left nerima.
Another baddie would be Kodachi who after seeing Ranma-chan's earth elemental form in action got a cutting of her plant hair. she uses it in a experiment with her black roses an the result is she gets turned into a elmental of sorts herself. her body becomes plant like an she able to grow from it her black roses an even control the effects they can have from knocking gas to deadly posins. she can't control other plants only those that are grown from her body. I pictured her with dark green skin and long pointed ears and fangs with long green hair that are vines with black roses growing from them an wearing one of her leotards.
These are just some ideas that popped into my head as i was thinking about the kinds of enemies Elemental Ranma-chan would have. like always this has been....
Just a Idea

Kishimoto probably has a reason as to why his is like that, likely a very strange one though.

That would require a level of trust which I have yet to find someone willing to extend the man :P
Anyway, I imagine that's devolving off-topic, so I'll shut up on that after this post.
There is no problem that cannot be solved through the proper application of immense levels of firepower.

How about something slightly inspired by Windborne.
The fairies live in another realm parallel to earth. Opposite of the senshi, the good faries powers are based in chaos magic, while the evil ones have their power based in order magic. While on earth, a fairy's personal power is limited, because they're powers are limited by their relative size and they can't draw on magic on earth as well as they can in their home dimension. To make up for this, they can fuse with or possess humans whose magic and gender matches their own, although it takes time for the human to adapt to fairy magic use, and thus the powers grow over time until they're on a human scale of the fairy powers in their home dimension, possibly greater due to the human and fairy powers working together.
A fairy princess from a good fairy kingdom which is destroyed by evil fairies escapes to earth, the only way the evil fairies can gain control over her realm is to kill her, to make this more expedient, they possess order aligned humans and control them to use their greater powers and chase after her. In order to protect herself, the fairy princess finds someone with magic who matches her, onna-Ranma...
Ranma is initially reluctant of course to use the girly fairy powers, but accepts the duty of protecting the princess, and the side benefits of having the fairy princess' magic to help him/her and a fairy princess advising and helping him in secret start to outweigh the negative as Ranma and the fairy princess become close friends.
Ranma's transformation can only happen in female form by fusing with the fairy princess, while transformed, hot water can't change Ranma back, and a fusion can happen without a transformation, temporarily locking the curse, which Ranma claims is a degree of control he learned over the curse which he doesn't understand how it works. While fused, Ranma is in charge, and can communicate with the fairy princess telepathically, but the fairy princess' skills, to a degree based on the level of trust and understanding and friendship between Ranma and the fairy, come through and allow Ranma to use her magical skills and other talents, and Ranma can surrender control to the princess whenever she wishes, although this requires Ranma's concentration to do, due to the nature of the fusion.
The transformation is in order to activate the magical powers of the fairy princess for Ranma, there are later stages of it for more complete fusions which are more powerful.
1st stage fusion: Ranma's curse is locked and Ranma and the fairy can communicate telepathically, the fairy senses through Ranma's senses, and with concentration, Ranma can grant control over her body to the fairy. This stage doesn't allow use of fairy-only magic, but their are some limited magical skills the fairy princess is able to teach Ranma that aren't fairy-only, mostly dealing with fairy rune magic and power scrolls, which is really regular rune magic, but the rune set is fairy characters and powered by chaos magic. Since this style of magic takes time and caligraphy skills to use, Ranma's use of it is very limited and grows slowly, but the style has great potential for creating magical wards and containment or long lasting magical effects. This stage can be triggered without Ranma's allowance, but the fairy has absolutely no control in this case, and can do nothing but feel through Ranma's senses and communicate with Ranma telepatically.
2nd stage fusion: This initiates from the 1st stage fusion, creating a magical link between onna-Ranma and the fairy, using Ranma's magic and converting it to fairy magic, and causes some physical changes. Onna-Ranma normally has a petite, attractive form, with dark brown hair and eyes, and slight fangs due to some distant oni-ancestry on Genma's side (a part of the reason for Ranma's levels of strength, endurance, and quick healing, which seems to exceed normal ki skills, and the power source for the neko-ken, which is Ranma's oni rage, but affected by empathic imprints from the cat spirits). The fusion gives her cotton candy colored pink hair and sapphire blue eyes, and a more sprite-like figure, with her fangs shrinking slightly and all her scars and callouses and other physical blemishes dissappearing. She gains hints of makeup that the fairy princess was wearing, and her hair re-styles to the fairy princess' style, but her face otherwise remains mostly like Ranma's, except in hair and eye color. She gets a fairy outfit which is like a silver white one-piece bathing suit with a hole in the back, a translucent irridecent skirt, silvery white elbow length gloves, and little silvery white booties.
-Fairy Dust- She can generate this irridecent dust, which sparkles brightly, and generates light, it can disrupt illusions, is somewhat irritating to anyone but her, making them sneeze, lasts for a few hours, and is somewhat 'sticky' sticking to things and lighting them up, so it can outline invisible opponents or make them glitter brightly to make them have difficulty hiding. It is itchy to anyone but her and makes them cough and sneeze if they breathe it in, although it tastes sugary sweet and smells nice. Not only can she generate it, but she can control it with a limited telekinesis, making it 'hard' rather than sticky, and attack opponents with it, battering or squeezing them with the small motes of light. It also is bright so it can be distracting.
-Fairy Spells- This is mostly low level nature magic, allowing things like speaking with animals, summoning weak nature spirits to fight for her for a short time, limited plant control, weak healing skills, and simple temporary protections against dark-fairy magic and dispelling fairy magic, as well as very weak elemental spells.
3rd stage fusion- The advancement of 2nd stage, she gains irridecent dragonfly-like wings, which she can make dissappear to fit in tight spaces where she doesn't need to fly or if they get damaged, pull them in and bring them out again regenerates them instantly, a more intricate uniform, more fairy-like build, can't enter the neko-ken, the fairy taking over instead if Ranma mentally reverts to that state. Her power with fairy spells increases, and she can also do more complex fairy magic, and understands it better. She becomes supernaturally alluring, generating sympathy and sexual attraction towards her from any who are normally attracted to women, although it's a very weak effect, and not mind control, simply a sort of 'notice me' thing. She gains mystical traits to her voice and movements, allowing her to create effects like singing people to sleep or to make others dance when she dances, or distract people with her movements or voice, this is a mind-control type effect, that is simply resisted by being aware of it and having greater willpower put into resisting it than Ranma does into the control, you have to see/hear her for it to work. Her kiss gains purifying powers, having slight healing traits, allowing her to dispell some dark creatures, such as youma and evil fairy summons, or free someone from the possession of an evil fairy. She gains the power to summon a magic fairy wand which increases her spells' powers when she uses it and can be used as a staff to attack with, and when she taps someone with it, she can grant them the temporary ability to fly. She can create various illusions, including a fake Ranma, which is incorporeal, has no shadow, and acts somewhat stupidly (due to her lack of control and magical skill).
Princes Fusion- An advancement of the 3rd stage fusion, this can only be accessed when the fairy princess feels like there is a dire threat and her relationship with Ranma is very trusting, once Ranma's body has fully adapted to fairy magic. This is like the 3rd stage, only the magic is significantly more powerful, and Ranma and the fairy princess' minds are slightly merged, making them act like a mix of their personalities with a mix of their memories and skills. In this stage, the level of understanding and synergy is indicative of their power level, otherwise it awkard for the mixed being to be switching between their skill sets, so the more experience in this form, the more efficient it gets at mixing their skills, although the full power is availible. This stage can't be maintained when they are exposed to cats, due to Ranma's fear, and they revert back to 3rd stage. In this stage, she wears a gown, has a more intracate wand, and a golden fairy tiara, and can summon a great bow and arrow, a longsword or spear, and a giant armored butterfly mount which is very fast and powerful, and can generate paralyzing dust and sonic and wind attacks with it's wings. Her ears become pointed, and she looses the oni traits Ranma carries normally.
Ranma's powers never really reach the levels of the upper level senshi, but they're more versitle, if more resistable and generally weaker and less well controlled due to Ranma's lack of magical skill and synchronization with the fairy princess.
Eventually, Ranma can permanently gain fairy powers by going through a ritual while in the full princess transformation that will change Ranma's true form into an elf, gaining pointed ears, silvery white hair, silver eyes, fairy magic to the level of skill Ranma can perform on her own, and senshi-like immortality, although trapping Ranma permanently as a girl. She can use illusions to maintain a human appearance in this new form. The elf form also has the allure of the 3rd stage, which is retained even with human illusions unless heavily clothed, hiding most of her skin and hair, which is what generates the effect visually.
The elf-form and various transformation states after the first include special defenses, enchanced senses, and slight ability enchancements to general physical abilities, gaining more power up to the elf and princess states.
Setsuna would merely have to 'encourage' the fairy to meet Ranma rather than get killed by the evil fairies, and for Ranma's relationship with the fairy princess and other situations to develop to the point where Ranma would choose to undergo the elf-transformation when immortality becomes needed. :mrgreen:
