Ran's character traits

[Dus]

Except that Kogoro and Eri aren't divorced, just living separately.

And that Shinichi isn't officially her boyfriend.
And yeah, while there are certainly people who are better off, her fate isn't really something to grumble about. Her parents are both alive, they make a decent living, and while Kogoro may not be an exemplary father figure, it is quite obvious that he loves his daughter. He could be abusive and rape her every night, you know.

isn't something to grumble about? but i do think some people will find it hard if it happens to them you know...some people would rather be poor than having seperated parents..(though they obviously still love one another )

No way! Haha! Kogoro loves her daughter,he would not do that to her! May Conan would! @_@
,ah! Taku! There's so many good characteristic of Ran...I don't understand why there are some who hates her...

Quote it if your comment is good,then ignore it if you don't agree! >:[ okay?!
I love Ran! I think I understand Shinichi why he's madly deeply inlove with this girl...

I don't know anyone who hates her, but there are reasons to dislike her. It's just a matter of taste really.

Exactly.  Her life IS hard.  Most people's are, I'm not saying that it's extraordinarily hard, but to watch her parents, parents who obviously love each other, put their pride above the well-being of their family has to be hard.  I mean, if Kogoro would stop lusting after anything remotely female, and Eri would accept his apologies when he offers them, then they could be a family.  I dunno, I think it might be easier to have parents who hate each other rather than a taste of being a real family every now and then, only to have it taken away.
It's extra hard for her because of who she is.  She's incredibly nurturing and seems to put family first, and yet her parents aren't either one.

Ran has seen her parent's divorce, her father become a drunk, and her boyfriend disappear. Tough life.

Indeed. Not as tough as Haibara though... comes from evil organization, both her parents who worked for them were killed in a horrible way, the person she has a crush on loves someone else. Tough life.

It's cause you people are too used to anime and manga. In anime and manga, the character has such an unbelievably horrible fate (but is still living happily) that when somebody has a believable but horrible problem you call it "not so important".

If you were in Ran's position, you would be crying everyday. So suck it up! Sure, she didn't live in an organization, but it's like comparing two unrelated things.

[Dus]

a)Ran is cryin every day (in DC time at least)
b)I certainly wouldn't cry every day just because my parents are divorced and a friend I have crushed on for ages is inexplicably occupied elsewhere. Shinichi certainly saw a lot less of his parents. And Ai's and Ran's fates aren't completely unrelated, they're part of the same manga after all.

Hm. Ran is crying every day huh? Apparently you live in the movie/earlier eps world.
Also, I doubt your "friend" and you are as close as Shinichi and Ran. Is that friend obviously doing something dangerous somewhere you don't know? Ran knows what Shinichi is doing could cost him his life. And yet she doesn't cry everyday.
Ai grew up in the organization. She has created a drug meant to kill people. She has seen people die. Ran is supposed to live a normal life and did not grow in such an environment and that's why I say "unrelated". They're two different people. Very different people. Don't compare them.

[redangelran]

isn't this ran character trait? why is ai being mentioned..again?

[Megane Tantei]

Agreed.

Well, Ran is certainly the type who sacrifies herself for others.

Something like this:
Conan: I want ice cream!
Ran: Okay, Conan-kun! I'll go buy some! (even though I have an exam tomorrow and I need to study)
Conan: Yay ICE CREAM!

If Conan was a kid, that is.
But you get the point right?

No I agree with Dus to some extent, she cries a good amount - you have to be blind to not see that.  Not so much every day, but enough that it garners attentions/annoyance from DC fans. 

Your doubt on whether Dus and his/her potential "friend" are as close as Shinichi and Ran is pretty illogical - you have no reason to doubt that a relationship in reality is nowhere as close to as a relationship in an anime/manga.  And to be technical, Ran just thinks Shinichi is off busy solving cases, not exactly "risking his life" like how you're making it about to be: it's not like he was drafted by the army or whatever.

Ai and Ran are very different characters, I agree.  However, I believe you could compare them, I don't understand why you couldn't.  You should never compare anyone to anyone again by your logic, because everyone is different.

Presumably killed 

the person she has a crush on loves someone else.

Ai has a crush on Ayumi?
