| HISTORY | ||
Kim spent several years as one of Angel Grove's queen bees, one of the most popular girls in school. She was a member of the cheerleading team and friends with them, her social circle sitting well above even the football players. However, when one of Kim's friends, Amanda, sent her a racy photo, events led to her sending the photo to her own boyfriend, Ty, with the message "Is this who you want to bring home to your mother?" Likely, he was expressing interest in Amanda over Kim and she reacted in a petty, very teenager-like way. Ty remarked, because of this, that Kim was the meanest girl he knew. So she punched him and knocked out one of his teeth. As a result, Kim had to sit with the principal and Amanda's father as he was shone the photo and felt shame for it. And then was assigned detention every Saturday for the rest of the year in order to graduate for the two incidents. Between then and the time Jason was given detention, Kim spent the time dealing with a very awkward 'relationship' between herself, Amanda, and Harper. Until they finally had Kim meet them in the bathroom during one detention and literally cut her out of a photo and their lives. Deciding that they hadn't been worth her time, Kim decided to transform herself, using the scissors once they left to cut off most of her hair. The change earned most than a few whistles upon returning to the classroom but also her parents frustration after being picked up. Later that night, trying to clear her head, she headed up into the mines to a spring for some late night swimming. Her diving drew the attention of Jason Scott who offered to run away with her before Billy caused an explosion in the mine revealing five ancient gold coins buried in strange glass and drew the attention of two other teenagers as well. This drew mine security as well though and in their escape, the five teens were hit by a train. They awoke, a day later, home and unharmed with the coins they found. At school the following day, Jason, Kim, and Billy agreed to head back up to the mines after school, where they ran into Zack and chased after Trini. Thanks to the chase, they discovered one of their powers as they jumped across a chasm and then discovered the underground cave than hid an ancient ship. The ship, reacting to their coins, opened for them and began to come 'alive' once inside, sealing the ship again as well as seeming to wake a robot, who proceeded to seemingly stalk them through the ship, eventually cornering them and leading them to the command room where he woke Zordon. The information he provided about Rita, their powers, about the Zeo crystal, and about his part in the history of Earth. As well as a warning that Rita was due in eleven days. They attempted to connect to each other and the grid there, on the first day, but failed. And then sent them into the Pit to train, so they could access the Morphin Grid. Over the next couple weeks, the teens spent all their free time in the Pit, training and trying to find a way to connect with one another so they could reach their armor and so they could be prepared to fight Rita servants. Over those couple weeks, Rita came back and murdered a number of people and collected gold to revive herself fully and remake her staff so that she could create Goldar. Billy also spent that time tracking down the Zeo crystal. Also during that time, Alpha provided incentive to morph in the form of showing them the zords, which Zack hijacked, causing a fight to break out between Zack and Jason. Billy intervened and this action inadvertently connected him to the Morphin Grid, causing him to morph and giving them a small look into how they can connect. Billy cared more about them than his own well-being. Jason, after this, accidentally discovered that their connecting to the Morphin Grid could bring Zordon back to life and believed training them to come back was his plan all along. To try to connect, they chose to try camping out one night, telling each other about their lives. Kim opted to skip her turn, too ashamed to tell her new friends what happened to land her in detention. Instead, a couple days later, she snuck into Jason's room as home and confessed it to him. That same night, Trini was attacked at home by Rita and informed that her attack would begin the next day. So Trini called them to action. Meeting at the football field, even though they had yet to be able to morph, the five decided to confront Rita anyway and made their way to "where the dead boats live." There, Rita beat them, easily, and forced the location of the Zeo Crystal out of Billy by threatening Zack. Instead of releasing them all, she drowned Billy and released the others as she left. Realizing their loss, they carried Billy back to the ship and begged Zordon to save him, finding their link to one another in the process and connecting to the Morphin Grid. Rather than returning, Zordon used the Morphin Grid and brought Billy back, allowing all five to morph and confront Rita in their zords. They nearly lost but as they were pushed into a crater by Rita's giant creation, Goldar, they managed to formed the Megazord, something that few rangers teams had ever accomplished, even after years together. Using this newfound strength, the defeated Goldar and slapped Rita into space. They continued to attend detention afterward, even with most of Angel Grove destroyed and living in a refugee camp in the park. And discovered a new student attending detention, and missing. Tommy Oliver. Over the next week, the rangers dealt with the aftermath of Rita's attack and the Goldar dust reanimating beaten putties. One incident resulted in a car with a family starting to fall and though Billy and Zack cleared most of them out, the car's tire broke off and the car fell. So Kim reacted by grabbing a wire and jumped after him, grabbing him and bringing him up to safety. Unknown to the rangers, Zordon, and Alpha, a pair of twins had escaped police custody and were hiding out. Veturing outside, the brother encountered a dormant putty that merged with him, giving him memories and strength belonging to Goldar and the putties. He and his sister then start causing havoc through what was left of Angel Grove, with the aim of destroying the rangers and finding his sister a putty to merge with. The brother was more than a match for all five rangers when they responded, and though the dormant putty didn't react for the sister, they recovered it and left the rangers so they could give the putty a boost and it merged with the sister, who came up with a plan to deal with the rangers. Namely, creating a giant putty-like monster. Responding, in seperate zords, the rangers tried to challenge it but had to resort to using the Megazord. Jason's quick thinking in the moment helped them to sever the head of the giant putty and Billy's thinking, Kim and Jason were able to solidify the twins using electricity and end the latest threat. This wasn't the end though as shortly after, Zordon and Alpha picked up readings that suggested massive putty activity. It took them to the pier where they found what was basically a bottled putty arm, a trap set up by an organization called Apex. Dark web, scary stuff, according to what Billy told Zack. They misunderstood, believing the rangers were aliens fighting their battles for them, and didn't care for aliens fighting for them without oversight. All of this told to them at brief gunpoint and that they would be watching. Also that they could keep the arm, they had something more interesting now in the form of the twins. | ||
| PERSONALITY | ||
"Alpha! Rita's escaped. Recruit a team of teenagers with attitude!" This is what Zordon wanted back in the nineties and he got a group of relatively good kids with vague experience in martial arts. Now, without seeking it out, Zordon has a group of five teens, all with some kind of attitude or tendency to be miscreants, as power rangers. Kimberly is a self-claimed terrible person. A former queen-bee of Angel Grove, popular and a cheerleader, and her general attitude reflects that. She very much flaunts her appearance, even after she's cut off from her former cheerleading friends and cuts her hair as a small act of rebellion. Friends who, one shared a racy picture of herself with Kim that she shared with her boyfriend and it spread. So she is very much a vapid, petty, teenager. A part of her very much hates this though. She took very badly to Ty telling her that she was the meanest person he knew, punching his tooth out in retaliation. And when the rangers were trying to get to know one another around a campfire, she couldn't stand telling them about how awful she could be and had been. So despite her attitude, a rebel-without-a-cause type attitude, Kim is at a basic level, a good person, very much hating how she had acted. And it's enough that revealing it even to Jason, who she trusts, makes her feel very vulnerable, expecting it to change everyones opinions on her. With the other rangers though, and being cut off from her former group of friends, Kim slowly begins to learn that she can be, and is, a good person. She even grows to think beyond herself, crying when Billy died and hanging out with Trini outside of school or training. Neither of whom she would have given much consideration before she started her stint in detention or found the power coins. Addtional proof that she's basically a good person, she doesn't care for bullying and bullies, looking approvingly towards Jason when he dealt with a bully harassing Billy in detention. Which only makes her own actions all the more distasteful and shameful to her. And, as with most teenagers but especially with those who tend to be popular or put themselves out there like cheerleaders, Kim is very confident. Even after being cut off by her old friends and she cuts her hair, her thoughts are focused on how she was going to be someone new and that she didn't need to care what anyone thought anymore. When she walked back into detention, she flaunted her new appearance, knowing she could pull this off. Even being thought of as someone who could front a punk band. It's worth noting that, throughout the movie, Kim goes through a drastic transformation from a fairly self-centered teen to someone who, when the five rangers are facing almost certain death, Kim sticks with them to hold the line against Rita and Goldar. How she and the others managed to successfully morph after realizing how close they are to one another and that they would give up their lives for one another, even admitting it openly. She also seems very good with thinking on the fly, especially when the rangers are in danger, resorting to using her zord to carry Billy's and throw him through Goldar. And when a parent was falling down a cliff, she confirms with Billy that a length of wire is strong and then leaps down after him, holding onto it and bringing him back to safety. | ||
| SKILLS/ABILITIES | ||
Super strength/durability/jumping/climbing granted by the power coins. As well as a link to the Morphin Grid allowing her to summon the pink ranger armor. Kim herself, using her strength, crushed her phone. Jason smashed a sink. Durability and strength-wise, all the rangers were beat on by stone-golem type putties and Billy's wrist couldn't be broken by a school bully who also knocked himself unconscious trying to headbutt Billy. All the rangers jumped across a ravine and they all climbed a sheer rockface with ease. Unrelated to the coins, Kim was a cheerleader so she's pretty acrobatic. And she does kind of know how to fight (punched out her ex's tooth) | ||
