Kira Rey Ford AGE: 17 Short Bio: Kira is a girl with a dream - a dream to become a musician. Her passion to sing and make music drives her, allowing her to communicate with the world, when things get too difficult to say. Her talent to sing had surfaced long ago when she was just a kid. It all started with the guitar, which she began to learn when she was only six. She fell in love with music as she learned to play, developing into quite the musician. It was her music that landed her in detention that fateful day where her life would change forever. Touching the yellow dino gem was both a gift and a curse, and at first Kira just wanted to get rid of it. She didn't want the abilities necessary to fight evil, she was just a normal girl trying to find her place in the world. Music was her priority, not fighting crazy ass aliens on a daily basis. Luckily, after being captured by Mesagog, the new villain in town, she quickly learned that they lived in a world that needed saving - a world that needed heroes and for whatever reason, she was chosen to be one of those heroes. Who was she to fight fate?
If you had told Kira a year ago that she would become best friends with school jock, Conner McKnight, and computer geek, Ethan James, she would have laughed in your face and referred you to the nearest mental institution, but that was exactly what had happened. And She wouldn't have had it any other way. Being a ranger and spending time with the two had changed everything for her. It allowed her to drop her more cynical views, changing her entire perspective on the world. It wasn't much longer before Kira would fall for the new guy in town, Trent Fernandez. Unfortunately for her, he was bent on destroying them seeing as how he was the evil white ranger. Even so, there were definitely sparks between the two. He was the first guy that she had ever really fallen for. He was the cute, tortured artist type, and she was seriously attracted to that. When he reverted back to the side of good, Kira was forced to do a lot of forgiving, which was hard for her considering she is just so naturally stubborn. Even so, the two got passed everything, and after their battle as rangers was over, they dated for a couple months before Ethan traveled to New York and Trent to a Vocational school about an hour away. At first, they tried to make it work, but the sparks had just fizzled and died out somewhere between their first meeting and their first date. They liked each other well enough, but they never really left that 'friend zone' which was a problem. They ended on good terms and remain friends even today.
With Ethan and Trent gone, Kira spent most of her summer hanging out with Conner almost non-stop, that is after nearly kicking his ass for blowing them off every time they tried to hang out with him. Truth to be told, he hurt her by doing this, but she would never give him the satisfaction of knowing that. Ever. She'd take that to the grave with her. Anyway, after Trent and Ethan left town, they were the only two left, with the exception of Dr. Oliver, who they still hung out with regularly. It's just not the same as hanging out with someone closer to your own age - someone you can relate to and not feel like you are being mentored all the time by someone who has already gained so much more life experience. Someone who has already been through things that you are just now starting to experience. It's nice, having someone like that around, but music and Dino Bones? Nope, not a whole lot in common. She preferred hanging out with Conner anyway, oddly enough. Conner would go to her gigs and help her set up before listening to her play her entire set, never once taking his eyes off of her. She definitely noticed and found herself being very flattered that her music could grab his attention like that. She'd see him before and after Soccer practices, sometimes staying to watch pick up games in the park. She didn't find it at all annoying or boring as she used to think they would be.
They were an odd pair, but they worked together and eventually became the best of friends. However, the dynamic duo would soon become the fantastic four as Jake Thomas and Casey Daniels entered their lives. The four immediately got along, finding themselves to be fairly similar yet still different enough to keep it interesting. Jake's cool, but also completely insane in the best way possible. It was Casey who Kira could relate to the most. She was a little more difficult for Kira to read, which was strange for her. They found common ground in music, and Casey just seemed really smart, down to Earth, and easy to talk to. At any rate, the four of them seemed to immediately hit it off, becoming fast friends. Nothing could get in their way... at least for now. Kira was looking forward to spending her senior year with her three friends, peaceful and easy going, focusing on her music and school work before moving on to a college to major in some field of music... she still wasn't entirely sure what her major was going to be, only that it could and would only be music. She was looking forward to watch Tommy squirm a little with the arrival of his former flame, Mrs. Katherine Hillard. Senior year was supposed to be the greatest times of their lives. She figured she'd even cave and attend a party or two. However, destiny had different plans for Kira - much, much different. Plans that would tear Kira's life apart.
Kira is fiercely independent, stubborn, and full of fiery strength which is probably why Devone chose her as his evil yellow ranger in the first place. Despite her attempts to fight it, her efforts were useless, and Kira was turned over to the darkness. She fought against her friends with an immense amount of power. The people she cared about most... She attacked with precision and brutality, nearly killing each of them at some point during their battle. Kira fought from deep within the darkness but she just couldn't seem to get through... the longer she remained under Devone's spell, the more and more she continued to forget who she really was, and slipped further away into the darkness that now enveloped her. Even so, Conner seemed to reach her... perhaps that was because he was the person she was now closest too. He stirred up something inside of her that gave Kira a reason to continue fighting, but before too long, even he would not be able to reach her. In the end it was her friends who pulled her out of the hellish nightmare her life had now become. However, she wasn't the same person that she once was. She could never be that person again; she'd been through too much. However, with a little help, she learns to look at this experience as a chance to grow. Tommy and Kat had a lot to do with that, also being evil rangers in their pasts. She found it helpful to talk to someone who knew what she had gone through... Now, she joins her friends as the sixth and final ranger of the team, fighting against Devone and his evil army. And while she's still making her way through high school, writing music, and trying to figure her life out, she knows that she's doing the right thing - she's becoming a hero once more. Payback's a bitch Devone.
