If you go by the Flanderized interpretation, yeah. Nabiki's greedy and shallow, Akane is psychotic, Ryoga's pathologically bipolar and Ranma is either a mistreated hero or an insensitive jock.
If your aim is either parody or quick humor, this is cool. Otherwise, you may need something a bit closer to reality.
Ok, I am a bit of a fan of Nabiki, and I can agree that the character is shallow and Doesn't really goes beyond a few cheap jokes with her being a greedy bitch.
Are you sure that isn't you the one confusing her with the breadwinner Nabiki from fannon the hidden sensitive girl behind the cold bitch persona?
Because in the end both in the manga and anime she proved that she is a shallow, petty, cold bitch more interested in having fun than and screwing anyone just to have fun, and doesnt really cares about consequences than anything else.
So can you pleas elaborate and explain us how are we missing her real character, the complexity of this girl that se see often in fannon but rarely if ever in cannon?
