Biography
Tori Hanson was born in Blue Bay Harbor, and since childhood was friends with Shane and Dustin. In their late teens, the three became students at the Wind Ninja Academy with Shane aligned with the air, Dustin with Earth and Tori with Water. One day when they were late for class, the school was attacked by Lothor. But it was the day she and her friends became the Power Rangers: Ninja Storm. Unlike Dustin at first, she was skeptical of their existence but then she learned that they were real on that day she became a ranger.

When the Thunder Rangers joined with the Wind Rangers, she and Blake started dating. After Lothor's defeat, she became one of the new senseis alongside Dustin, Shane and Cam. After Lothor returned once more, she went under his mind control along with the others and tried to defeat the Dino Thunder rangers. But thanks to Cam, Hunter and Blake's efforts, she was freed. Later, she fought against Thrax joining forces with Kira, Adam, Xander, Bridge and the Overdrive Rangers. While being a professional surfer, Tori continued teaching at the Academy.

In 2012, she took Yumi as her apprentice and discovered potential within her. Yumi was trained by her, Shane and Dustin. Eventually during that time, Yumi grew to greatly respect Tori and look at her like a sister and friend. Two years later, Yumi joined her fellow Rangers in the Legendary Battle.

In the following year when Yumi's training was complete, Fyrus made his announcement to invade the Earth. Tori tasked Yumi with getting trainees to safety and fought various Malastarians. Tori and her friends confronted Deathowl and fought him. Unfortunately, the assassin was too strong for them as they were all killed. Tori was then stabbed in the heart and died instantly as Yumi watched in horror.

After her death, a shrine was erected in her honor and Yumi vowed revenge on Deathowl. However, Tori's soul would guide Yumi to a path that is not of hatred and vengeance, because these two could send someone to a darker path. Her last words to Yumi were to train her inner ninja and not take a path of vengeance and that someday retribution will come, but for now, be strong.
