Kira Christina Ford

Kira Christina Ford is the Samurai Ranger Snow, Purple Samurai Ranger, and second-in-command of the Samurai Rangers.

HISTORY Kira was raised at the Shiba House, along with Jayden, to become a Samurai Ranger. Ever since he mother died, Kira has been training doubly hard to become a Samurai Power Ranger. Kira makes her first appearance in Origins Part 1, when battling the Moogers. it seems that even by this early episode, she is a master at weapons, because when she's just fighting with the Spin Sword, she manages to knock out the Moogers, and with her Blizzard Wave, she can destroy swarms of Moogers with one strike. Later, in the Megazord battle against Tooya, her zord is revealed to be the Wolf Foldingzord. In Deal with a Nighlok, she is impressed with Jayden's mastery of symbol power. In There Go The Brides, she is the only one NOT emotional, because she is seen rolling her eyes most of the time. But she, however, is still dressed up, in a turquoise dress with black leggings, dark purple combat boots, and her Polartec jacket. She also has her charm bracelet, though she lost it on a trip to Los Angeles. In Forest for the Trees, when all the other Rangers go to deal with Desperanio, Mentor Ji tells Kira to stay behind and he then gives Kira the Cobra Disc, which is black and gold. He tells her to only use it in times of grave danger, then sends her off to help the other Rangers. But this time, she doesn't use the Cobra Disc.

TEST OF THE LEADER and JAYDEN'S CHALLENGE In Test of the Leader, when Kira gets seriously injured by Robtish because she was trying to protect Jayden, Jayden is visibly upset, and storms off to his room after Kira regains consciousness. Here is an accurate recording of the other five Rangers and Mentor Ji's conversation after Jayden storms off: Kevin: I wonder why Jayden's so upset. Kira: (sitting up) I don't know, actually. He's always serious, but never this much. Mike: Well, what's his personality like? What might he do? Kira: Well he might- (her eyes widen) (she turns to Mentor Ji) Mentor, where's Jayden? Mentor Ji: He was packing. (Kira jumps to her feet) Kira: What for? Emily: You need to rest, Kira. Kira: No. Jayden's leaving. I've got to stop him. Mentor: Emily's right Kira, but you come with me. (conversation ends)

Kira: (shouting) Jayden! Jayden! Jayden, come back! Jayden, please! Jayden: (heading out the door of the Shiba House) (thinking) I'm sorry, Kira. I can't put you, or any of the other Rangers in danger ever again. I'm leaving to put you five out of harm's way so you won't get injured ever again. In Jayden's Challenge, she sees him at the beach, and is about to talk to him, when Robtish and his Mooger Army attack. Kira's encouraging words are, "You're our leader. We need you." Kira remembers the Cobra Disc Mentor Ji gave her, and together, her and Jayden create the 9-disc Cobra Cannon and blast Robtish into a building full of concrete. Afterwards, when Robtish is defeated, Jayden says, "It's good to be back," to which Kira replies, "It sure is," and slaps his face.

MEETING ANTONIO When Kira smells the arrow, she recoils at the smell, but still keeps the parchment so she might be able to identify the handwriting later. When she meets Antonio with his fish cart, he knocks her over when running away. When Kira gets the call from Mentor says Jayden went to Spring Valley, she says that she is going alone and that the rest, come to Spring Valley either if you've captured the fisherman, or you've lost his trail. When she gets to Spring Valley, her and Jayden have a VERY brief conversation when they're fighting Vulpes: Jayden: Thank god you're here! Where have you BEEN? Kira: Leaving the others to chase the "fishy arrow" guy! Jayden: The what? Kira: Fight Now, Talk Later! (both backflip out of the way) (Mike, Emily, Kevin, and Mia arrive, but then all six of them fall on the ground, unmorphed) Vulpes: I know you can't handle what I'm about to throw at you! Antonio: Catch of the day! (throws fish at Vulpes) Now this, is a big moment. Man, this is going to be so golden! Now let's do this! (morphs, fights the Moogers and Vulpes, destroys them, and reveals himself to be Jayden's best friend, Antonio)

THE BLACK BOX When Kira learns that Mentor plans to have Antonio program the Black Box, she is immeadeately worried for Antonio's safety, but understands the risks and she convinces Jayden that if Antonio wants to try, let him go for it. In The Tengen gate, she is horrified when Jayden gets poisoned, because of which she almost manages to blast Octoroo off his feet. In Boxed In, she's VERY impressed when Antonio adds his element of light to the Rangers' Sixtuple Slash. In Broken Dreams, she supports Jayden when he collapses after making a portal. She also kisses him on the cheek. When Antonio gets up and they fight the giant Moogers, she has to support both of them over to the bench. In The Ultimate Duel, some 20 minutes before Jayden has to leave to fight with Deker, Kira is training when Jayden comes outside and says that he has to say something. He then kisses her on the cheek and leaves all of them. Mike fears he (Jayden) won't come back. Kira reassures the other Rangers that Jayden WILL come back. When the other Rangers find Jayden on the cliff, Kira helps him up and Jayden is more than a little tempted to kiss her. When they go back to the Shiba House, Kira says that it's good to just sit at the dinner table and relax. RANGERS TOGETHER, SAMURAI FOREVER!

PRE-SERRATOR ERA In Super Samurai, Kira is rollerblading with Emily and Mike, when she notices the big pool of Sanzu River water and calls Emily and Mike, along with the other Rangers. She nearly gets killed by Arachnitor, who seems to have a personal grudge against her. Then Jayden uses Super Samurai Mode to defeat Arachnitor and afterwards, she seals a leak with symbol power. In Shell Game, she manages to poison the invincibility of Armordeevil's shell with her Cobra Sting. Then, when Kira goes to get Antonio, she agrees with Mike and Emily asking if they should let Anonio sweat it out. In Trading Places, she gets tuned into a statue of a Samrai, so she got off the best of all the Power Rangers that got switched.

SERRATOR ERA (Something Fishy-Stroke of Fate) In Something Fishy, Kira is revealed to have no fears at all, but slightly laughs when she finds out that Jayden is afraid of spiders, and she comforts Antonio, which helps with his intense icythophobia. In The Bullzord, she nearly gets killed by the Bullzord, and in He Ain't Heavy Metal, He's My Brother, she is revealed to be able to sing AND play the guitar, something that makes her the fourth female Ranger to be able to play the guitar, after Kimberly Ann Hart from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Cassie Chan, from Power Rangers Turbo and In Space, and Kira Ford from Dino Thunder. Afterwards, she is congratulated and even Jayden is impressed with her singing. She gets her chance to use the Black Box in The Strange Case of the Munchies after Emily. She says, "Super Samurai Mode!". Even though Emily defeats the Nighlok, she uses the Black Box to defeat the Moogers, which have been upgraded. In A Sticky Situation, it seems like Jayden and Kira have grown closer. When the Rangers get stuck by Epoxor, she gets stuck next to Jayden. By Trust Me, all the Rangers, especially Kira, have developed a fiery hatred of Serrator. When Kira sees Mentor Ji take out the Master Blasters, she is impressed, even more so when Mentor Ji delivers the Bullzooka. At the end of Trust Me, she is seen clamping her hand over Mike's mouth after he calls Mentor Ji "old". In The Master Returns, she is upset when Jayden takes his anger out on the Rangers, especially Kira, nearly knocking her unconscious. Later, he apologizes to the Rangers, especially Kira. Afterwards, when Jayden is knocked unconscious by Master Xandred, there are, for the first time in both seasons, tears in her eyes. In Stroke of Fate, she is surprised by Deker's choice, and when they form the Samurai Gigazord, her Cobra Foldingzord is the REAL zord that finishes Serrator off, rather than the Shark Foldingzord.

POST SERRATOR ERA and ARRIVAL OF LAUREN SHIBA In Fight Fire with Fire, she watches Daisuke deliver the scroll to Jayden with the Shiba symbol on it, and when she sees Jayden packing and asks him why he's packing. Lauren already knows why and tries to stop him. Jayden walks out of the Shiba House. Kira and the other Rangers are saddened and upset over Jayden's departure. Lauren remains quiet as she knows she can never take Jayden's place. In The Great Duel, she is first seen, pacing the length of her room, waiting for news from Antonio, hopefully that he found Jayden and he's bringing him back. Then she gets the exact opposite. She gets the call that there's a swarm of Moogers attacking downtown. She's so enraged and angry and sad that she does most of the work destroying the Moogers. Afterwards, Lauren says that it's okay that she has to train alone. In The Great Duel, Lauren asks Kira if she could talk to her about Jayden. Kira admits to Lauren that she's had a crush on Jayden for a long time now. Lauren laughs and says that Jayden likes Kira back. Kira then hugs Lauren and says she's the best friend ever and the episode Evil Reborn ends on a high note. In The Sealing Symbol, she fights Master Xandred and nearly wins. Afterwards, she gets knocked unconscious by the shield made by Dayu's spirit. In Samurai Forever, after she, along with the other Rangers, defeat Master Xandred, she says she is finally staying at her TRUE house, the Shiba House, with Jayden and Mentor Ji, and says that the other Rangers are welcome to visit anytime. She is wearing her turquoise dress and same black leggings as in There Go The Brides. At the end she pulls Lauren aside and before she says good-bye, she says she's going to make Jayden into a proper boyfriend, then they both giggle. RANGERS TOGETHER, SAMURAI FOREVER!

HOLIDAY SPECIAL APPEARANCES In Party Monsters, she makes several appearances in Nighloks flashbacks, and several times Sanzu River water is needed to calm the Nighloks down at the memory of Kira. In Christmas Together, Friends Forever, she notices that Jayden's happy, and smiles at him several times before shuddering when Mia mentions her cookies. In Trickster Treat, she is the only one NOT affected by Trickster's tricks. In Stuck on Christmas, at the Shiba House, she and Jayden finally share their first kiss under a batch of mistletoe. Then they start a relationship.

APPEARANCE Kira is a beautiful girl of 18 years old with long, French-braided dark hair, tan skin, and eyes that change color, but primarily stay amber, gold, or green. Her looks are said to attract male attention, such as the instances with Spike, Bulk, and even Jayden, whom she likes back, although this is however, not revealed until the the 18th episode of Super Samurai, Evil Reborn. She is usually wearing jeans and a purple T-shirt, but in There Go The Brides and the end of Samurai Forever, she wears a turquoise dress with black leggings, her dark purple combat boots, her Polartec jacket, and her charm bracelet.

PERSONALITY Kira has a tough personality, but it is revealed she wants to protect her family and friends so she doesn't lose them. Sometimes, around Jayden, she has a happy personality, but she is VERY dangerous. To her enemies, at least. She is a nice girl though, and is willing to help anyone and is determined to save the world from the Nighloks. She can fight like a demon, but she is very kind to her friends, and would risk or even sacrifice her life for her friends and family, including Mentor Ji.
