Biography
Beverly Anne Mason was born in Brooklyn, New York on June 10th, 1993. In the third month after her birth, her parents decided that it would be better for them to move with their daughter to Angel Grove, because at that time New York was plagued with crime, drugs and violence and they did not want their daughter growing up in a rough city. Beverly comes from a traditional military family as her father served in the Gulf War, her grandfather served in Vietnam and her great grandfather served in World War II. Since her childhood, Beverly was very much of a tomboy as she loved sports and video games.

By the time she was in pre-school, she met her lifelong friend Theo and the two became very close, like brother and sister. When she was 10, she and Theo became interested in martial arts and they were both trained in Karate and Tae-Kwon Do by the original Red Ranger, Jason. When Beverly was 17 years old, she realized that she was a bisexual. Although Theo was a Christian, he still loved her like a sister much to Beverly's happiness. After graduating from high school, she joined the US Army and then went to college to study automotive engineering.

After graduating from college, it was not long before the Malastarian War began and Beverly was called by the US Army. She fought in the war on the rank of Staff Sergeant in the 75th Ranger Regiment on Company Delta. While searching for her fellow troops in the ruins of Harwood County, she was saved by the Megaforce Rangers but helplessly saw how her later enemy, Deathowl slaughtered them and was more shocked to see Emma Goodall being killed due to her younger appearance. She briefly fought him, but was pinned and about to get killed but a dying Troy saved her before succumbing to his wounds.

After the war, Beverly was devastated that Jason was also one of the casualties and Tommy as well. She then met Joanna during the time of reconstruction and a year later, the two began to date. Joanna's father was not approving of their relationship, but that did not cause their love for one another to stop. Five years after the war, Beverly was training soldiers in the Dominican Republic, and she was going to be discharged. To celebrate, she arranged for a nice vacation at the villa in Samana with Joanna, in which she and Maria planned. When Maria and Joanna arrive, Beverly reunites with her girlfriend by kissing and embracing. And then they headed to Samana.

That night, Beverly proposed to Joanna until remants of the Malastarians attacked the villa and they were led by Deathowl. Deathowl had Joanna hostage and intimidated Beverly to surrender, but he tricked her and shot Joanna mortally wounding her. In a fit of unspeakable rage, Beverly fought the sadistic assassin but was no match for him. Joanna was killed in front of a helpless Beverly and Deathowl left them to die by destroying the villa.

Beverly and Joanna's dead body were taken by a flame far from the villa. Beverly was gravely injured with burns on her left arm and right face. The flame turned into the Phoenix and healed Beverly's wounds. The Phoenix told Beverly that she was chosen to become the new champion of Earth and take the role that Jason once had. The ring she gave Joanna became her morpher and now, she fights in Joanna's honor and to avenge her.
