Trini Kwan was the Yellow Ranger of the original Mighty Morphing Power Rangers era.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Born to a Taiwanese father and a Korean mother, her dad's job as a military doctor meant that Trini had moved through eight different military bases before she and her old folks settled down in California. Between this, her being the token Asian character, and her presumably having the usual Asian tiger parents, Trini was the kind of girl that studied Kung Fu when she wasn't busy scoring straight As in all of her MINT classes.
Trini was one of the five 'teenagers with an attitude' recruited by the galactic wizard Zordon to fight off the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa and her various mooks. She thus became the Yellow Ranger - armed with a pair of razor-sharp daggers, a complimentary gun, and the keys to the Saber-Tooth Tiger Dinozord. It was a small miracle the writers didn't make her munch rice or quote Sun Tzu as part of her character, but Lord knows the writers were trying.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
The Yellow Ranger fought in the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny during 8chanmania C. How exactly she performed there has been lost to history, but it safely can be assumed she dropped out before Darth Vader entered a stable orbit around The Rock.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Kwan's actress, Thuy Trang, died in a car accident back in 2001. Her character was correspondingly killed off for good, introducing a whole generation of viewers to the concept of permanent death.
