mouri ran

Mouri Ran is a childhood friend of Kudou Shinichi. She is the daughter of Mouri Kogorou, a private detective, and Kisaki Eri, a lawyer. Her parents separated when she was seven, and one of her biggest goals is to reunite them. Her best friend, apart from Shinichi, is her classmate Suzuki Sonoko, who often teases her about her relationship with Shinichi. After Shinichi's disappearance, Ran met Edogawa Conan, introduced by Professor Agasa as a "distant relative" and asked if she wouldn't mind taking care of him at her house. She and her father practically adopted him; Ran came to think of him as a surrogate little brother. Unbeknownst to Ran, "Conan" is actually Shinichi. Ran's greatest personality trait is that she genuinely cares for those she loves. She is patient, kind, and nurturing. Like Shinichi, she values justice highly, sometimes to an idealistic point. To avoid making Shinichi choose between her and his important case (really an excuse because Shinichi has turned into Conan and can't return), she decided to wait for him to finish it, trusting his promise that he will come back despite their separation causing her emotional pain. Ran is also very passionate and tends to act on impulses when the people she cares about are involved; this has led to several "near-miss" misunderstandings. Early on, she would become violently suspicious if she thought Shinichi was philandering, although more recently his confessions have led her to trust his intentions. Even though Ran is in love with Shinichi, she often fails to convey her feelings because she suddenly becomes self-conscious. She can be very brave and resourceful when needed, rescuing Conan from trouble on occasion. However, she has an irrational fear of the supernatural and is thus not a fan of anything related to the horror genre. She also constantly tries to reunite her father and mother again - though with little success due to the mutual stubbornness of both parents. Men tend to pay her a lot of undue romantic attention, a fact that makes Sonoko somewhat jealous (and of which Ran herself is completely unaware). Ran is very self-sufficient for her age. This is because her father is often drunk, slovenly, and fiscally irresponsible. She handles many of the Mouri household's financial affairs and all the cooking and housework. She ensures Kogorou doesn't slack off on his job, behaves well during client meetings, and greets and provides refreshments for potential clients.
