Deedee Portman

Deedee Portman is the Purple Ascendant Ranger, from the Power Rangers Transcendence, having been promoted from Transcended Purple Ranger. She is part-time a physical education teacher, notably the strict and perfectionist type. Deedee is the very first member to become a Ranger in the team.

Pre-Transcendence
The events that cover Deedee becoming a Ranger is largely unknown, but piece by piece, she is giving away how it all began. Her discipline, perseverance and bravery is what make her an ideal Ranger.

Transcendence
Even before her landing, Deedee has been alerted of Lux making entrance to Earth. She was informed that Lux was in the search of the keys and was going to land somewhere nearby, somewhere which is proximate to the school Darcy works in since she kept the treasures with her. As Lux made landing, Deedee morphed into the Transcendent Purple Ranger (due to only having the Transcendence Key at that time) and fought with the alien. The sleep curse that Lux inflicted was lifted by Deedee after sending the alien through a thicket of trees. She followed in an attempt to continue the fight, but before she could, she saw her students holding the keys. Deedee, still hiding her identity, instructed them to use it and the five teenagers morphed. Soon, Deedee realized that Lux somehow managed to make her launch a ticket to a way out.
