Description
When Kimberly shouts, “Pterodactyl”, she morphs into the Pink Ranger. Kimberly is a skilled gymnast and has shown to have some artistic and musical talent, particularly on the acoustic guitar. Initially displaying the traits of a stereotypical Valley Girl, she developed into a more friendly and kind hearted individual.
One of the toughest challenges Kimberly faced was when she went flying in an airplane with her uncle Steve. Unbeknownst to anyone, Squatt has spiked his can of soda with a sleeping potion. While in the air, the potion took effect and Steve fainted. Though she was terrified, Kimberly took control of the plane, and with instruction from Alpha 5, landed it safely. (MMPR1: Foul Play in the Sky)
The Pink Ranger powers were lost after Rito Revolto’s surprise attack. Kimberly and the other Power Rangers traveled through the Desert of Despair to speak with Ninjor, the original creator of the Power Coins. After some convincing, Ninjor granted her the powers of the Pink Ninja Ranger and command of the Crane Ninjazord. (MMPR3: Ninja Quest) During this time, Kimberly would also share command of the White Shogunzord. (MMPR3: Changing of the Zords)
Kimberly was targeted for elimination when Katherine Hillard (aka "Kat"), under Rita's spell, stole her Power Coin, granting her access to the Ninjazords. The coin being in the hands of evil also served to drain Kimberly of her life force as the Ninja Powers were linked directly to the life of the Ranger, unlike the Dinosaur-based power set. (MMPR3: Changing of the Zords)To take advantage of this, Rita launched a campaign to keep Kim overexerted in battle, knowing that, at the same time, she was focusing all of her personal time to gymnastics training for the Pan Global Games. Her coach, the famous Gunthar Schmidt, grew increasingly impatient with Kimberly's apparent lack of dedication to her training. On one occasion, Kimberly trained late at Ernie's Gym and Juice Bar after hours and, depleted, she fell from atop the balance beam. She is discovered unconscious on the floor by Katherine, overriding the evil spell she is under. Katherine calls '911' and Kimberly is hospitalized. She recovered and later Katherine manages to give Kimberly her power coin back. However, Kimberly almost abandoned her gymnastics training after that, until she is encouraged to go back to it. In a turn of events, Katherine took a dramatic approach to inspiring Kimberly to pursue gymnastics again by revealing to Kimberly a scrapbook of her own athletic achievements in the sport of high diving. After hitting her head on the board, she gave up on the sport, just short of her entrance into the Olympics. Katherine lured Kimberly to a local pool where she arrived just in time to see Katherine perform a fearful, yet expert high dive for her first time in years. This, and Zordon releasing her from duty, prompted Kimberly to officially retire in order to train full-time with Gunthar Schmidt for the Pan Global Games in Florida. She selects Katherine as her replacement. (MMPR3: A Different Shade of Pink)==============================================================================================================
