Ran Mōri, daughter of private detective Kogoro Mōri and lawyer Eri Kisaki, lives with her father after her parents' separation at age seven, actively hoping for their reconciliation. She studies in Class 2-B at Teitan High School and captains the karate club, an interest ignited at ten by watching national champion Satoru Maeda. By sixteen, she mastered the discipline, winning regional tournaments in her age group and earning a black belt. Her karate rivals world-class martial artists like Makoto Kyōgoku, and she also wields judo proficiency, including her father’s signature one-armed shoulder throw. Ran’s physical strength enables feats like prying open elevator doors, while her reflexes allow bullet dodging and deflecting falling objects. Yet an irrational fear of the supernatural can paralyze her in horror scenarios. Profoundly kind and patient with strong nurturing instincts, Ran tempers this with fierce protectiveness over loved ones. She prioritizes justice and human life above all, exemplified by saving serial killer Vermouth from a fatal fall in New York despite being threatened at gunpoint moments earlier—earning her the nickname "Angel" from Vermouth. She similarly intervened to halt police snipers targeting a hostage-taker during a bombing. At home, she manages cooking, cleaning, finances, and client hospitality due to Kogoro’s irresponsibility and alcoholism, ensuring his professionalism during cases while maintaining self-sufficiency. Her childhood bond with Shinichi Kudō, her romantic interest, began in kindergarten when he protected her from bullying over a handmade name badge and foiled their teacher’s kidnapping plot. Key moments include their joint investigation of a "hat-wearing monster" rumor at Teitan Elementary at age six—when Shinichi first called her by her first name—and a New York trip a year pre-series where he solved his first high-profile case, solidifying her love for him after encountering Vermouth. After Shinichi vanished post-Tropical Land, she became primary caretaker for Conan Edogawa, introduced as Shinichi’s distant relative, treating him as a surrogate brother. Ran persistently suspects Conan is Shinichi, citing identical deductive abilities, their shared rare blood type, and Conan’s resemblance without glasses. Notable clues include seeing Conan asleep resembling Shinichi, witnessing his analytical skills during cases, and observing simultaneous Shinichi-Conan appearances—later revealed as ruses involving allies like Ai Haibara or Kaitō Kid. A critical test occurred when her email to Shinichi vibrated Conan’s phone, prompting her to unlock it with "Sherlock," though deleted evidence thwarted confirmation. Her suspicions endure despite alibis staged by Conan’s circle. Additional traits include uncanny luck in games of chance, musical talent in singing and piano, English fluency, and sewing skill. She stands approximately 160–165 cm tall with a slender athletic build, fair skin, bluish-purple eyes, and long dark brown hair featuring wavy bangs. Her appearance mirrors her mother’s youth, and she is often noted for beauty, though admirers go unnoticed due to unwavering devotion to Shinichi.
