Wendy Venturas

Wendy Venturas is the former Cyber Pink Ranger, currently a technical advisor to the team.

Character History
At age ten, Wendy and her twin brother   Matt were banned from the William Cranston Institute of Science, due to their controversial inventions (one of which was apparently a laser gun that destroyed the terrarium and an undescribed "teleporter incident"). General Sauder appeared as they were thrown out, and offered them positions in his new project. They befriended Anya Maize, and grew up expecting to be Cyber Rangers together. In 2118, their parents were killed in a "car accident," and General Sauder obtained custody.

Finally, the Cyber V project was activated, and they began collecting recruits. The two of them demonstrated the use of the morphed form in sparring (for twenty minutes straight), and then joined the recruits to test them. Jake Taylor began hitting on her the moment he saw an opportunity, to her disdain.

As the tour of the base concluded, Emeralde and Thrak attacked. Wendy and her brother, along with Jake and  Cindy, went to collect the Cyber Ops, and ended up trapped in the weapons laboratory by Emeralde. The Venturas twins tried to fight the assassin off, but their Cyber Ops had been set to Security Mode and wouldn't work without either an override from the General or simultaneous activation for all five.

Sending Jake and Cindy to hide in a bomb shelter in back, Wendy and Matt took on Emeralde with whatever they could find in the weapons lab. They very nearly defeated her, but the assassin blew up the laboratory, severely injuring both. When Wendy woke up, Cindy had taken her place and fought off Thrak and Emeralde again. Wendy was...less than thrilled.

Broken Dreams
Although Wendy didn't take out her temper on Cindy, who had been reluctant anyway, she didn't think the recruit could handle herself. Jake wasn't quite so lucky when she overheard him bragging about how he'd win her over any day now. However, the fact that he left base to get her glasses repaired, only knowing that they were special to her but not why, did raise her opinion of him. Slightly.

It took General Sauder's orders to make Wendy train her replacement. She apologized to Cindy, admitting that the new Pink Ranger had earned her respect, but almost revealed her condition before a timely monster attack. That and building new devices to fight Kalask kept her busy for a while.

When the Rangers were attacked at an identity-revealing press conference in New York City, Matt and Wendy calmly broke the rules and took the CV Transport with the Combat Zords to help. Jake and Cindy then handed over their morphers to let the twins finish off the monster, and finally show what they could do. To everyone's shock, President Winter responded by ordering them to get out of the uniforms before she had them shot. She promptly revealed their condition to the world: they were Venjix Hybrids, descendants of some of the humans the computer virus converted.

Exposed
The Rangers accepted the Venturases, knowing them as people first, Hybrids second. The rest of the world was less rational. Not only were the pair confined to base, but it was confirmed that they were never supposed to be Rangers, nor would they ever be as long as President Winters had something to say about it.

Wendy locked herself in her quarters, more devastated than she'd been even at her parents' deaths. Cindy tried to talk her out, to no avail. In a bit of an existential crisis, Wendy only came out during the inevitable monster battle, having to see what was going on. Cindy's near-defeat snapped her out of her funk, and Cindy turned the tables, declaring that she'd be the best Cyber Pink she could. Ruefully, Wendy admitted Cindy might just be better.

Wendy finally decided to go out on a date with Jake, to everyone's surprise. They went to Horizon Museum's Ranger exhibit, where Wendy got to meet Alpha 5. Unbeknownst to Jake, she also intercepted a message from Doctor K. At the Azulong Phoenix, a very fancy restaurant (bill paid by Walter), Jake verbally defended her from a few patrons who'd heard about her Hybrid nature. They very nearly kissed, but were interrupted by a mind-controlled waiter delivering a bottle of magical wine.

The wine was part of Midnai's plan; it made the pair vulnerable to the Fiddler's music. After they defeated the Dreads, the monster forced them to tango until the others helped Jake morph. He was freed, but the villains used Wendy to attack them, then allow the monsters to drain some of her nanites for study. The Rangers managed to stop the procedure before it killed her, but she was weakened. Of course, the media edited the fight to make Wendy look bad. Back at base, Jake took two steps backwards by flat-out propositioning Wendy, earning himself yet another smackdown.

Operation T
As Wendy and her brother continued building weapons, Matt suggested they move the more dangerous experiments to an underground bunker, and she agreed. They began spending late hours there, though General Sauder limited their extra time for various reasons. The message from Doctor K also prompted them to dust off an older project or two, though the new weapons for the fight with the Master of Weapons delayed that temporarily.

When Walter's father, the head of NTTV, arrived, only Matt and Private Mai Pei's intervention saved him from Wendy's wrath. Minutes later, they all ended up in the Rec Room, being assaulted by Dreads, and the twins tested out their prototype weapons. They only lasted about three seconds, but took care of the goons, and nobody but Mr. Jenkins saw. Having had a change of heart after being defended by the pair, he decided not to tell, but promised that if they ever endangered his son, he'd do anything to bring them down.

When Matt and Mai's relationship came to light, Wendy was dubious. In the next battle, General Sauder put her under high security to make sure Kalask couldn't get any more of her nanites, but realizing Matt wasn't there, Wendy sounded the alarm. She detected a large energy disturbance on the far side of the base, and tearfully begged the Rangers to bring her brother back. During Mai's funeral, she comforted Matt, and agreed to help finish "Operation T" to avenge her.

After its successful secret use, Wendy was almost giddy, annoyed by her brother's calm insistence on more testing and other logical steps. Still, getting help from Alpha 5 for a more official weapon upgrade (along with Operation T) made her happy, although she insisted they couldn't risk telling anyone about the latter.

Personality
Wendy is a genius, knows it, and uses it as a weapon. She is hot-tempered and determined, with an acerbic and snarky sense of humor, but also has a quiet and controlled side. Also, she is a massive Ranger fangirl, the biggest enthusiast this side of Gokai Silver.

Talents and Abilities
Wendy, like her brother, is a technical genius. Her Hybrid nature grants her unusual strength, stamina and an accelerated healing ability.
