Rochelle Newman

Princess Rochelle Margaret Newman is the red ranger, leader, and the main protagonist of Power Rangers Fantasy Force. She is a teenage tomboy and student at Udon Prep. Rochelle is a pro at archery and is a fan of rock music, but she hates ballet, makeup, and all the girly stuff.

Rochelle was born to a single mother in which she turns out to be a lesbian. Rochelle never knew her father when her mother told her that Rochelle's dad was killed by the Evil Queen way back before Rochelle's birth. In the first ever Power Rangers 2 part Easter special, Rangers in Wonderland, she discovers the Red Rose Brooch. Although Rochelle was not born royal nor she was married to a royal, in Beauty and The Beast Warrior, Desmond tells Rochelle she is the true princess of fairytales and not Cindy. In the episode, Rochelle Red and The Poison Apple, just after she went apple picking in the orchard, Rochelle was put into a deep sleep after she ate a poisoned apple that the Evil Queen made to destroy the Power Rangers. In the Halloween special, The Heroine Who Cried Wolf, Rochelle took great defense after the Big Bad Wolf ate her grandmother Gladys Heisenberg.

Rochelle is an adventurous, energetic, and an advocate tomboy female who is a pro at archery, and enjoys rock music, comic books and fantasy novels, and enjoys the outdoors. Though she hates girly stuff such as ballet, fashion dolls, makeup, and peppy pop music. She unintentionally even has a crush on Jackson.

As the Red Fantasy Ranger, Rochelle has spirits of her childhood fairytale hero, Little Red Riding Hood. Like Red Riding Hood, Rochelle is adventurous and has self defense amongst her powers and attacks.
