Character History[]
Current timeline[]
Early life[]
Gwen was born on October 25, 1978 in Duncan Valley, Canada, on planet Earth.
Gwen grew up in a conservative and very strict household. Growing up a frustrated child who didn't know how to express herself individually, she discovered and embraced the goth subculture at the age of 13, much to her parents' annoyance.
At 14, Gwen found herself bisexual when she fell in love with and dated one of her school friends, Yen Kwan. Eventually, she came out to her parents, who didn't accept her, especially her father. The situation at home was bordering on unbearable, and it got worse when Yen revealed that her father had taken a job in Toronto, and that they were moving there. Sad and heartbroken, the two broke up.
Gwen wanted to improve her relationship with her parents, but she didn't know how, until the day her father died of brain cancer. Gwen's hurt grew even more, as she felt extreme regret for not being able to reconcile with her father. Her relationship with her mother was also damaged, the two becoming very distant during this period.
Becoming a Power Ranger[]
At the start of the 1993 school year, Gwen was so nervous and stressed about all her problems that she ended up freaking out after a fight with a girl at school and punched her in the face, and she was sentenced to a day of Saturday detention.
After the detention ended, Gwen didn't even come home, and headed for the city lake in order for her to watch the fireworks that evening.
At the lake, Gwen found others of her colleagues who had also been in detention earlier: Trent Hand, Harold Corduroy, Devon Jackson, and Mo Chakrabarti. The five ended up having a conversation for the first time, and Trent asked why they ended up in detention, but they all veered off the subject.
Suddenly, the entire city shook in what was believed to be an earthquake. It later turned out that the entire world had shaken due to the discharge of energy released on Earth when Rita Repulsa and her minions were released from their prison on the Moon.
With the earthquake, a hole in the ground opened up and the five teenagers ended up falling into it, finding themselves on a mysterious cave. Inside the cave, they ended up finding the five Power Coins, and each of them felt attracted to one of them. After they touched the coins, another tremor occurred and the five were swallowed by the earth as the cave collapsed.
The next day, each of them mysteriously ended up waking up on their beds, with the Power Coins by their sides. It would later be revealed that it was Alpha V who teleported the unconscious youths - unharmed thanks to the powers granted to them by the Coins - to their homes. Confused, Gwen ignored her mother's attempt to ask her where se was last night during the earthquake and went directly to school and met with Harold, Devon and Mo, and they went to go find Trent. After they found him, they discussed what has happened to them.
They took their classes normally and, at the end of the school day, out of a sudden, all five of them had a vision of a strange location similar to a base, how to get there and an ethereal voice saying "Come". As Devon knew how to drive - despite not being 16 yet -, he took his older brother's car and drove the five teenagers to the mountains next to the city, moved only by a feeling that said they were getting close to their destination. They arrived at a weird location, where there is no plants around and the mountain seems like a desert. There they saw it: an enormous white base, resembling a castle, but with a style of architecture none of them had ever seen. Stranger still, the base opened up to them, and they entered, with Trent leading the way. Inside the base, the five teenagers finally met Zordon of Barza and the robot Alpha V.
Zordon introduced himself to the teenagers and told them what was happening: 7000 years ago, he and a group of warrior friends came to planet Earth aboard the Command Center - the base they were on, which was actually a spaceship - on a mission to protect it, as our planet is a nexus of the Morphin Grid - the force that keeps the entire multiverse alive and in balance. However, eventually, the planet was attacked by Rita Repulsa and her minions, and Zordon and his friends had to resort to Power Coins to transform themselves into the Power Rangers - a team of powerful warriors who use the energy of the Morphin Grid to fight the evil forces, armed with powerful weapons and mighty machines called "Zords". Zordon continues the story, saying that the Power Rangers fought Rita for years, until they were able to trap her and her minions in a bucket-shaped prison, which was placed on the moon. But Rita had managed to severely injure Zordon before she was arrested, and he ended up dying. It was then that the robot automaton Alpha V ended up collecting its master's consciousness and placing it in a transmitter tube.
Zordon explained to the Rangers that during NASA's most recent mission to the moon, two astronauts ended up freeing the sorceress, and that the energy released by this event was what generated the previous night's global earthquake. He even told them that the coins they found in the cave were the Power Coins, and that they had been chosen by fate to become the next incarnation of the Power Rangers and protect Earth from Rita and other threats. He explained each of the Coins, and what they did to the person they were bonded with. To Gwen, he said she was chosen to be the Yellow Power Ranger, the wielder of the Sabertooth Tiger Dinozord.
The five teenagers were shocked by all the information, and tried to leave, but Zordon showed them images of planets dominated by Rita, and stated that if they didn't do anything, that's what would happen to Earth. When Trent decided to accept the mission, Gwen thought about her mother - and how she loved her despite of all that had happened with them - and even the four friends she's made recently. She decided to follow her new leader's decision, agreeing to become a Ranger.
The White Sage calmed the youths, saying that Rita had not yet attacked Earth because of protection barriers placed by him millennia ago, which prevented the sorceress and those who serve her from invading. However, Zordon warned them that Rita was a powerful mage and that, even weakened, she would eventually get through the barriers, and that they must be prepared for when that happens. The Power Rangers' training began immediately.
The five teenagers spent the next few weeks training and perfecting their combat techniques, still unable to morph. At the same time, they strengthened the bonds of friendship with each other. To their parents, they said they were studying at Devon's house - a good alibi, as the young man's mother worked all day, and there would be no way for her to know this was a lie.
One night, the five of them gathered around a campfire and shared their personal problems with each other, and they finally shared why they ended up in detention. After Trent told his reason - that he agreed to participate in a prank against Stone Edge's karate team because of peer pressure -, Gwen told him that he didn't need to accept everything others wanted in order for them to remain his friends, and that his real friends would never abandon him for any reason. Seeing him so vunerable made Gwen to start paying more attention to him, what soon evolved into a crush.
When her time to tell the others came, and even though she was affraid that the others wouldn't accept her, she came out to them. They all accepted her, and said it was not her fault that her father had died, and that she made everything possible to make amends with him. She was not 100% convinced, but that was what made her take the first steps to start forgiving herself.
Finally, Rita Repulsa managed to break through Zordon's mystical barrier and attacks Earth on her own, invading Duncan Valley by sensing the energy of the Power Coins. Unable to morph, the Rangers were no match for her, who almost killed Harold. After leaving the boy unconscious, she told them that Zordon was keeping a secret from everyone: she was his niece.
Gwen and the other three transported Harold to the Command Center, putting him on the med bay in order for him to heal. The Rangers blew up on Zordon and said he had no right to keep such a secret from them. The youth's mentor asked for forgiveness, and said he kept his kinship with Rita a secret so as not to alienate the Rangers. Irritated, Gwen said that if they had walked away, Harold would still be okay.
Hearing the discussion, Harold woke up and told his friends that they shouldn't do that, and that in their mentor's position, most likely they would end up doing the same thing. The Rangers apologized to their mentor, who also apologized to them. After that, the Rangers left to face Rita and her minions: the mighty Goldar and the foot soldiers Putty Patrollers, who were wreaking havoc across the city seeking to lure the Rangers. The teens easily defeated the Patrollers with their powers, even though they were unable to morph. When Goldar was about to attack a family, Trent set out to save them and his act of heroism allowed him to morph for the first time into the Red Ranger. Motivated by their leader, the other Rangers also morphed, and the Power Rangers Mighty Warriors were reborn into this new generation of warriors.
The battle intensified, and Rita made Goldar grow to a gigantic size. The Rangers wonder what they were going to do, and that's when Alpha sent out the Zords. For the first time, the Rangers piloted their mighty robots, but they didn't seem to be doing the job separately. When Goldar tried to destroy Duncan Valley High's Youth Center, they were able to muster enough strength to unite their five Zords into the mighty MegaZord. They defeated Goldar, sending him back to his normal size, and used a powerful beam from their sword against Rita. She was not destroyed, but was extremely damaged and weaker than she already was. She then returned to her moon castle base with Goldar and vowed revenge on the Power Rangers.
After saving the city, the Power Rangers became a worldwide phenomenon. Everyone in the world is talking about them, wondering who they were and where they came from. Journalists tried to get interviews with them, but the Rangers fled on sight of any of them. When they finally gave up, the Rangers helped PROMETHEA rebuild Duncan Valley.
The alien invasion and near-death experience made Gwen's mother to open herself with her again, and she asked for forgiveness for ignoring and not accepting her daughter. She said that her biggest regret would have been if Gwen had died during the attack without them making amends, as her father had, and that she would never let that happen. Accepting their daughter the way she was, the two cried and hugged, mending the broken bond between them.
Rita Repulsa eventually struck again, sending the monster known as the Gold Mask to attack Duncan Valley, but the Power Rangers managed to defeat him, thus consolidating themselves as the team of protectors of planet Earth.
After the battle against the monster Dora Knight, on her birthday, Trent finally asked Gwen out on a date and they started a relationship.
Battle against Ranger Slayer[]
A few days after she and Trent started dating, the Mighty Warriors faced a new enemy: the Ranger Slayer, a powerful Pink Ranger from an alternate Universe who was in fact Mohini's doppelgänger. The Ranger Slayer has been sent to this Universe by her "master" on a mission to kill the "6th Ranger", but she had accidentally arrived "too early". She temporarily joined forces with Rita Repulsa and tried to destroy the Rangers with her Zord, the Gravezord - which she could control miles away from it. One day the Ranger Slayer invaded the Command Center and tried to hack into it, but Mo followed her and defeated her by destroying her bow - thus breaking the spell that has been cast on her and freeing Slayer's from her master's mind control.
Slayer then apologized to the Rangers and explained what has happened to her and that her world was a dystopia controlled by "a fascist Ranger who betrayed everyone and everything". She spent an afternoon with them just before she returned to her own Universe.
Enters: the Green Ranger[]
The more Rita sent monsters to attack the planet, the more powerful the Rangers became, until the day she decided to attack with her own Ranger: the Green Ranger.
