Character: Uzaki Ran
Series: Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger
Character Age: 19
Canon:
Jyuken - a martial art that uses one’s “Beast Heart,” Geki Jyuken Beast Arts is a fist of justice!!1 used by the good guys - the Gekirangers. The Gekirangers are a “triangle” of a Body, Technique, and Heart, who later add a purple and white Ranger to their team. They battle against the bad guys that use the evil!!1 version of Jyuken - Rin Jyuken Aku Gata. The way they transform is by using 'Gekichangers' and saying the term, "Tagire! Power of the beast! Beast on!" And so a battle full of spandex, explosions and dudes in big plastic suits ensues.
Ran is given the role of captain of her sentai team, as she’s the most responsible character, always being upright, honest, and clean-handed. She keeps the team together and is motherly to them in her own way, while at the same time keeps the stupid boys she fights alongside with in check. At the beginning of the series, Ran is very straight-laced and serious; however, after training with one of the seven kensei animal masters, Master Elehan (a rather gregarious, perverted... elephant man), she began to loosen up and smile more due to his teachings and influence. However, she still takes training and Jyuken seriously, and this is why she’s known as the “Heart” of the triangle between herself, Jan and Retsu - she doesn't do anything without putting her honest feelings into it. On a negative note, Ran's weakness is "Technique" - as her Cheetah-ken relies on speed and accuracy, she overlooks details. Overall, Ran tries to be positive and keep her group organized, like a good Yellow Ranger and captain.

"Important Mission for the Lovely Ran-chan!" Of course I accepted it, thinking I might be doing something like taking a special, secret weapon to a mysterious, secret location in a mystical, secret forest, like we always do. But a tree, in a camp, in a swamp? And anyway, I always thought camps had more fires and happy-looking children, not zombies and bizarre animals. I can get that maybe it's a training camp, since that would explain all the endless zombies and those gorillas that don’t touch you nicely, but... tentacles? How are you supposed to go swimming if something slimy is crawling up your swimsuit?! And the squirting flowers… ugh! Why does a magical tree have to grow in such a perverted place?! Of course Master Elehan would send me out here! Everything is so suggestive!
But, I think I understand. This camp is full of good training opportunities! Fighting off the zombies and those purple gorillas makes the body harder, better, faster and stronger, especially when there’s so many coming at you at once. And those baby vines that were blocking my way on the path, they - wait, the mother vine?! G-get off my legs you-!! Tagire! Power of the beast! Beast On!! Sheesh, it’s because I wear a short skirt, isn’t it? It’s part of my uniform! But that doesn't mean you can take advantage of it: think about what you're teaching your babies! And, you, gorilla! Stop cheering them on! By the power of heart, I'll defeat you- what, no, I can't control earth, fire, wind, or water! It's heart!
Now stand back while I take care of - hey, what do you mean using one's heart isn't an effective attack?! “Elemental weakness?” W-what? Just wait a moment, okay? One, two, and three! He's down for the count! That was my special attack involving "Jyuken." Would you like to learn it? Actually... I should teach all of the campers here! I see now, Master, this wasn’t just an errand, it was your way of letting me spread Jyuken to even the strangest of places. I will teach them all to protect themselves from inappropriate touching by plants and animals! As long as I am teaching, no student of mine will be "badtouched" in such a horrible way - their fist will be my fist, crushing down perversion with purity!
But first, I should find that tree. Unless maybe the tree was a metaphor for something else; perhaps the “tree” had to do with “roots,” which means growing a tree up from roots? So it means me teaching the campers the roots of Jyuken. Or perhaps it's to plant a seed of Jyuken? Or- Oh! The tree! Is that it?! Ahhh, this must have been what Master Elehan was talking about! “A magical tree that grows that which covers what my trunk cannot reach” - but aren’t those flowers there? And there? Wait, these are-
W-what?! UNDERWEAR?!
Master Elehan, you pervert!
