The Phoenix Saga is an epic-length Ranma 1/2 fanfiction written by Anne Ominous. A pair of curses have left Ranma trapped in a feminine body and too physically sensitive to take a hit. With no way back to the life she knew, she flees the Tendo home and leaves Akane behind in search of a life she can call her own. After months alone, she stumbles hungry and broken into the Phoenix, a dive bar run by a kindly woman and the four hard-luck girls she took in out of the cold.
