High-powered high-school plotbunny, free to a good home

Your missing a key trait of her list. 1) alien (in born trait due to geographical concerns, if not species), 2) time traveler (outsider of geography, even if
some of that is temporal rather than physical), 3) esper (born into it), 4) slider (requires you to be from not only a different place of psychical and
temporal means but dimension as well).

This is important because if she runs in something that she can be the best in through training... she will be compelled to be the best at that. Like she did
in academics and sports. and any other club in school.... she actually resorted to making her own club to keep from being bored. If she ran into Ranma and Co.
she'd be forced to be better at him then better at everyone else in the series at everything she could train for. She'd have to out X, X. (bad things
happen when she ends up out Happying, Happy.)... then the minute she IS actually better than them all she gets bored and stops cold. Unless someone again
proves better at anything remotely intresting... and she'll drag her club with her.

Same happens if she runs into a trained mage, or druid, or pretty muc anything. She wants to keep being entertained. She doesn't want new sporatically
active addictions.

For instance, lets make Nodoka's reason for letting Genma drag Ranma around so much being she is also married to Haruhi's dad (maybe she had Genma sign
divorce papers while exhausted or drunk and never told him). While Genma is off with Ranma on the months long trip that gets him engaged with take out girl
and such... she gives birth to Haruhi (she convinced genma the trip was his idea before her pregnacy wwas notable.)... the she has no more kids till the decade
long trip starts. Genma sents update postcards and she decides Haruhi will be her kid that is the brains to his brawn. Cue ideas for bizzarre, future,
sociological experients for her job, on her kids.

Flash forward to a few years later and shortly after Ranma's curse is revealed to her, turns out that the curse so insanely out of left field that she
decides to disregard it entirely as inexplicable and basically ignorable as an act of bored gods, she decides to introduce her kids to each other. Hillarity
ensues. Then Nodoka decides that it time to see which is easier to catch up on, the martial arts skills or the academics, and subtlety convinces them to
compete in each other's fields of expertise... the SoS Brigade gets sucked in and they actually manage to catch up (even though most randoms are convinced
it shouldn't work that way at all, though its levels off after getting to mook levels of Nerima martial arists for most.) Then as they start making
progress Ranma goes off and fights Herb... which leaves Haruhi farther behind and drives her mad... Though I think you'd have to have Haruhi discover the
amount of ghosts in the area and keep getting sidetracked.

That example plot is the kind of thing that is in character for her on a feature of her that I've found largely ignored in fanfiction. She is hyper
competitive and won't stop until they she is the best... then promptly move on out of boredom.
