The twin of Pink, Link is a young Chinese herbalist from a village near that of the Joketsuzoku. She ran afoul of Shampoo at a young age, was mistaken for her capricious sister, and subsequently beaten up despite that she had in fact saved Shampoo’s life. This awoke a thirst for vengeance in both twins, particularly since Shampoo frequently returned to administer other beatings to the two. They have been attempting to even the score for years, but with a notable lack of success.

Link is to normal human herbalists what Ranma is to normal human martial artists. She is capable of almost instantly growing plants from seeds to enormous sizes with the application of nothing but water, and has created and/or discovered many exotic plants with seemingly magical properties. In addition, she is incredibly skilled at creating medicines from dried herbs and other ingredients, often capable of whipping up cures to nearly any sort of poison in a matter of seconds.

Despite her perpetual frown, she is actually the more “nice” of the twins, and will help out other human beings that appear to be in trouble, unlike her sister, who was probably responsible for their misfortune in the first place. Like her sister, she ends nearly every sentence in “over” for an unknown reason.
