Rouge is a young girl who has made her way to Nerima in search of Pantyhose Taro. Rouge requests Ranma's helping in getting back the "source of her powers", an item she believes was stolen by Pantyhose.

It is also revealed that Rouge had fallen into "The Spring of Drowned Asura". An asura is a Hindu demon/god that is said to be extremely powerful. These three-faced, six-armed creatures are powerhouses and very aggressive.

Rouge is one of the most powerful characters in the series, and seems to have no problem using her powers to their fullest extent. She has little concern for property damage or any other havoc she causes while in her asura form. When in her normal form though, Rouge is quite kind.

Rouge later believes that Ranma is helping Pantyhose, and discovers that Pantyhose did in fact steal her "power source" which are just small magnetic disks that are used to prevent stiffening in ones back. She believes that Pantyhose is trying to gain the power of an asura by using them.

After much carnage and destruction (buildings are destroyed and the Tendo home is left a mess) Rouge discovers that the power source she uses are fairly common and buys quite a few of them before leaving Tokyo.

The Meaning Behind the Name
Rouge, like many of the other characters (Shampoo, Mousse, Pantyhose) is named after a beauty product. Asura is the central Asian word for the supreme spirit or god. To be more specific, an asura is a demon from the Hindu religion.
