Tauza

General Tauza is Xumara's sister, Lothor's wife, and a major antagonist of the Ninja Rangers.

Character History
Tauza was orphaned at the age of seven, after her bounty hunter parents murdered each other over a particularly valuable bounty. She and her younger sister, Xumara, lived on the streets of the planet they found themselves on, in the Forbidden Zone, mostly stealing to survive. They fell in with a cartel, where they both learned to control their powers, and began to travel around the universe. Unfortunately, the two outlived their usefulness on Miratrix's homeworld.

While being pursued by the cartel's minions, Tauza and Xumara were spotted by the newly-arrived leader of a space fleet, Korassil. He was impressed by their fighting abilities and intervened on their behalf, taking them into his crew. Tauza found herself rather liking an ambitious member of his subordinates, Lothor, and began helping him scheme for the command. They pulled off a successful mutiny and took over the fleet, retaining Korassil and Xumara anyway. In order to secure her position, she convinced Lothor to marry her.

Tauza took a back seat to her husband, preferring to stay in the shadows. He put her in charge of the capture of most of the world's secret Ninja Academies in the Eastern Hemisphere, which she performed. She even took over the Ethereal Ninja Academy in person, although she failed to keep the one morpher she did find thanks to a student named Easton Lewis.

Personality
Tauza is conniving and deceptive, maintaining a businesslike, almost humorless poker face at all times. She does have a sense of humor, albeit a dry and somewhat morbid one, and she is protective of her baby sister.

Talents and Abilities
Tauza can transform her fingers into clawlike blades. She can break off pieces of her centipede-like crown and attach them to objects to make monsters. She also commands a portion of Lothor's fleet.

Appearance
Tauza is an Asian, fair-skinned woman in her mid-twenties. She has slanted brown eyes and black hair, usually worn up in a centipede-like crown resembling an Olympic laurel wreath. Typically, she wears purple body armor trimmed with gold.
