Why is Ucchi not translated to something in English?

[kingfisherofthesea]

Hi guys, it's been bugging me for a long time but why is ucchi not translated to something in English? "Sassy" would be a good name for the personality type.

Is it ucchi in the game code or fan given? I get how people would say that ucchis have a caring elder sister personality, besides being the stereotypical "tough gurl". But smugs are called that without being smug all the time, they are also flirty & suave too. So what gives?

In Japanese their personality type is called "Aneki onna" which roughly translates as "big sis girl" but aneki is usually not used between real sisters and more between tough girls in a group.
"Uchi" is the japanese word they use to refer to themselves (me, mine, my).
I'm really not sure why they're called that in English as it's not even what they're called in Japanese. I think the name is fan given.
I agree they should have an English name for their personality type but not sure what it should be...

I agree that calling the personality Uchi is weird - the word means nothing to an English speaker unless you Google it. They should have been called Tomboy or something similar.

If anything their personality should be named "Tomboy."

I think they are supposed to represent the typical personality of girls that are delinquents or hang out with guys that are delinquents, or maybe even delinquent-wannabes. That's just my guess though (since "big sister" seems to hint towards some of gangster-like group going on), I could very likely be wrong.

They never gave the Uchi an actual confirmed English personality name. They should just name it big sister but I guess it would offend people who think of the characters as those genders like non binary or gender fluid or stuff.

People are offended way too easily then.

There will always be people who are offended all the time, unfortunately....
