Karone

This is the story of Karone the second Lost Galaxy Pink Ranger. Karone is the sister of Red Ranger Andros of the Space Rangers.

1. Karone
Karone is the second
and fourth/current
Lost Galaxy Pink
Ranger of the Lost
Galaxy Rangers, as
well as the former
villain Astronema.
Karone was born on
the planet KO-35, and is
the younger sister of
Andros, the future Red Space
Ranger. Along with Andros, she had dreamed
of being a Power Ranger. However, she was unable to realize her
dream when she was kidnapped as a child by the evil bounty
hunter, Darkonda. Darkonda took her to be raised by Ecliptor to
be evil, and she was named Astronema, who was brought up to
be the heir to the throne of Dark Specter, the grand monarch of
evil.
For almost a year Astronema tried to destroy the Space Rangers.
When Andros discovered Astronema's true identity, he did
everything in his powers to reform her. He very nearly succeeded, even making her an
honorary Power Ranger, until she was captured once again by Dark Specter and
brainwashed.
In the finale of Power Rangers: In Space (Countdown to Destruction), Andros destroyed
the energy tube of the great wizard, Zordon. Once destroyed, it released a wave of
purifying energy that eradicated all evil. This wave removed Astronema's programming,
reverting her back to Karone. Restored, she returned to Earth with Andros and the other
Rangers.
Sometime later, in the season Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy, Karone, disguised as
Astronema, was present on the planet Onyx when the Pink Quasar Saber was on
auction, the Quasar Saber had previously been lost when its previous owner, Kendrix
Morgan, had died to save Cassie. Karone stole the Quasar Saber and sought to return it
to the space colony Terra Venture, where the Lost Galaxy Power Rangers were stationed.
When she risked her life to protect the powerful weapon, the spirit of Kendrix appeared
and saved her. Kendrix passed on the Pink Transmorpher, allowing Karone to become
the second Pink Galaxy Ranger. She had finally achieved her dream of becoming a

2. Power Ranger. During this time, Karone became bubbly and youthful, as her childish
behavior was due to missing out on her childhood due to being Astronema.
Karone remained the Pink Ranger until Terra Venture crashed on Mirinoi. She returned
the Pink Quasar Saber to its altar, which resurrected Kendrix.
Before returning to Earth, Karone removed her Quasar Saber from the altar. After
arriving she witnessed the destruction upon Harwood County by the devastating power
of the Emperor and his Armada, Karone was among one of three Galaxy Rangers who
helped the refugees go into hiding.
She later assisted the Super Megaforce Rangers in the final battle with the Legendary
Rangers.

 She is the first known villain to be blood-related to a
Power Ranger (to Red Space Ranger Andros).
 As a Power Ranger, Karone is the only known Ranger to be blood-related
to a Ranger from another season.
 She is the only main villain to become a Power Ranger, reformed or
otherwise.
 Karone is tied with Orion for the shortest tenure as a Ranger, only lasting
14 episodes (not including extra rangers).
 Despite having the shortest Ranger tenure, Katherine Hillard holds the
record for shortest amount of time with a particular Ranger power, only having
the powers of the Pink Ninja Ranger for 11 episodes. This is not counting
temporary powers.

3.  Her morph is an edit of Kendrix's, only having her face pasted overtop of
the original instead of having her own.
 Unlike her teammates (and Rangers in general), Karone's ensemble is
composed completely of black and silver. She wears only a pink headband or hair
tie.
 Karone wears a locket (that held pictures of her and Andros) that she wore
both as herself and Astronema during Power Rangers In Space. She never was
seen wearing it during Lost Galaxy, and instead wears a silver choker.
 Karone is the second Pink Ranger to start out as a villain (via
brainwashing), than was later reverted back to being good; the first being
Katherine Hillard.
 Despite Kendrix having the Pink Lost Galaxy Powers back in Trakeena's
Revenge 2-part Episode of Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Karone is still able
to use them in Power Rangers Super Megaforce.
 Karone is the only Power Ranger to have two Legend Shifts, one for her as
the Pink Galaxy Ranger and one for her when she was Astronema.
