On December 26, 2009 of last year, Power Rangers had concluded and with it, the tons of awesome characters and plots that have lived with us since childhood. Among these great characters were many excellent women. From the most heroic rangers from Trini and Kimberly all the way to Summer and Gemma; from the greatest villains like Rita Repulsa to Teneya 7; from the greatest sidekicks like Ms. Fairweather, Fran, and Dr. K. Power Rangers was filled with kickass and interesting and heartbreaking women, with enough range in personalities to appeal to almost all viewers.
To celebrate them, I shall take inspiration from the Doctor Who Celebration Post and create a love thread/celebration thread. From Mighty Morphin to RPM, choose any female character and leave a comment with the name of the female character in the subject line. Then you could start a thread say how much everyone else loves said character, their best moments or lines, fic recs, drabbles, picspams, etc, etc. You could even start a thread about one shot women that have left you with a great impression, though you’d have to specify the episode/season where they have appeared in.
The rules are same as the one for the DW Post; if you don’t like a certain female character, THEN STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM THEIR THREAD!!! This is a happy, positive celebration, so either ignore the disliked characters and go to the ones you love, or don’t comment at all. That goes for subtle jabs at other characters as well (“OMG, I heart Katherine so much, she doesn’t at least get kidnapped once an episode!”).
So…go!

Doctor K-PRRPM

Date: 2010-02-01 03:57 pm (UTC)She was a small girl with a horrible past and horrible secrets who suffered a terrible loss and was burdened with the guilt that her creation destroyed the world. Instead of suffering and crawling in a hole, she created one of the first truly spectacular teams.
People could say she was cold, distant, a bitch, etc but its clear from her episode, why she was and that she was capable of shedding tears of sorrow and that she loved her friends deeply and tried to shield herself from the pain of loss by not getting close to anyone. She didn't let her feelings get in the way of what she had to do though her ending was way out of left field she could have done so much more.
This is an extremely tamed down fangirl post. I adore her more than any other PR character ever. She's tied with Vida, Kira and Lily as my top girl.

Date: 2010-02-02 11:54 pm (UTC)I was planning on doing an entire Dr K picspam, but while I'm here: her actions kick off the plot of the entire season, and she spends the whole season trying to make up for them. In a way, she and Ruki / Rika from Digimon Tamers have similar arcs: learning to appreciate and connect with the people around them without sacrificing any badass points in the process.
Basically, violin fu + snark + sweet tooth + hilarious awkwardness + moments with Ziggy + general adorability = WIN. She kept bringing the awesome right up to her last scene: it didn't hit me until later, but starting a school for kids with Ziggy means giving them a healthy environment to learn and grow, which is exactly what Alphabet Soup deprived her of. What sane kid wouldn't love having those two as teachers?
