Nadira

Nadira is a fictional character in the Power Rangers universe, appearing in Power Rangers: Time Force.

She is the mutant daughter of the criminal Ransik who travelled back in time with her father to the year 2001. Similar female characters, who despite their unusual backgrounds look very much human, have appeared in other Power Rangers series, for example Trakeena in Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy. Like these other characters, she is a rather obnoxious humanoid, who loves being told how beautiful she is. Nadira would much rather run than fight, but when necessary, she can extend her fingernails to use as weapons. Nadira adores the 21st century fashion, frequently stealing clothing and jewelry.

It was Nadira that arranged for Ransik's escape from custody in the future, by pretending to be injured. She aided her father's raid on the Cryo Prison, and prevented the mutant petty criminal Gluto from being cryogenically frozen. Along with Ransik, Frax and Gluto, she travelled back in time to the year 2001.

Nadira believed that the key to controlling the world in this time period was to have lots of money, and she frequently tries to accumulate more through extortion or theft. However, she is always defeated by the Time Force Rangers.

Nadira was unable to find herself romance. After being thrashed by Lucas Kendall, the Blue Time Force Ranger, she found some poetry that she thought had come from him and absolutely fell for him. At Ransik's request and against his own wishes, Lucas went on a date with Nadira. In order to free himself, Lucas pretended to be a slob and successfully disgusted her. In anger, Nadira sent Chameliacon to destroy him and the Rangers. Gluto also has a crush on Nadira, but for similar reasons she rebuffs him.

In the last episodes of the series, as Gluto and the Cyclobots hunt down Frax, Nadira diverts herself by taking over a clothing store. Trip shows up alone to stop her, and the Xybrian takes on the mutant. But, when a woman goes into labor, the two stop and try to help her. Trip forces Nadira to help the woman deliver her baby. Nadira emerges from the dressing room with the newborn, who she calls beautiful. Trip tells her that humans can't be all that bad, and Nadira agrees with him. After playing with human children, Nadira questions her supposed hatred for them. Nadira goes to an imprisoned Frax for answers. He tells her that hate is a vicious cycle propagated by humans and mutants. As Frax is taken away in chains, he sees a spark of goodness in Nadira, and urges her to break the cycle. As Nadira tries to make Ransik stop the hate, he scolds her for mourning over Frax, and knocks her down. When a baby was left behind during the attack, she decided to keep it safe and try to find its parents. While doing that, she is accidentally wounded by Ransik, and asked him to do the right thing.

Upon returning to the future, Nadira faced a more lenient punishment for her crimes. She was either incarcerated for only a short time, or placed in some kind of community service program, since she ended up working with children.

When Ransik accompanied the Rangers to the past in a Power Rangers: Wild Force episode to help them fight the Mut-Orgs, Nadira went along as well.
