Consumed By

 * Terror Toad

General
Trini is a kind, compassionate, and level-headed member of the Power Rangers team who is always there for her friends and promotes good causes. She is an adept fighter and martial artist, and undertakes her Ranger duties with courage and dedication.

Regarding Scenario
During the Terror Toad battle, Trini demonstrates her bravery against the monster, fighting on even though her attacks and those of her fellow Rangers prove ineffective. Unfortunately for her, she is quickly singled out by the Terror Toad after her comrades are struck down. She remains undeterred and valiantly engages the monster alone without hesitation, which leads to her downfall as the impressive toad easily defeats her. She is the first to be swallowed by the Terror Toad, and is evidently in a state of panic and distress as the monster transforms her into an energy sphere and devours her. After being freed from the confines of the toad's stomach and coalescing back into the Yellow Ranger, she appears worried but alert as she regains her senses, and is quickly ready to do battle again with the Terror Toad in spite of having been overpowered and quickly vanquished by the monster as her last cognisant experience.

Background
Prior to becoming a Ranger, Trini was a relatively average high school student who attended Angel Grove High School. When the wicked Rita Repulsa was freed and began to terrorize Earth, Trini was selected by Zordon to become the Yellow Ranger and help defend the Earth. After this, Trini worked dutifully alongside her fellow Rangers and routinely defended the Earth from Rita's monsters, always emerging victorious.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Season 1, Episode 12
In the episode Power Ranger Punks, Trini, alongside Jason and Zack, morphs into a Power Ranger to do battle with the monster Terror Toad, aware of his appetite but not what that appetite is for, and no knowledge of his abilities. The trio's combined attack proves ineffective against the monster, and they are easily fended off. Led by Jason, the Rangers engage the toad individually, but their attacks are repelled and they are soon picked off as Zack and then Jason are knocked down with heavy blows. Left isolated, Trini attempts to duel with the Terror Toad and is immediately overpowered, receiving a decisive pair of blows that sends her spinning and then flying backwards several yards, crashing to the ground. As she labors to get to her feet, the monster fires an energy beam resembling a tongue from his horn that snakes toward her in a serpentine path. After swooping down and encircling Trini, the tendril of energy tightens, wrapping around her at the waist and hips. Trini cries out, struggling against the energy tongue in obvious distress, and as her body begins to glow, the tip of the tongue arcs up and licks her helmet. Clutching at her head, her cries are soon cut off as she is engulfed in a bright flash of white light, which dissipates as she is transformed into a yellow sphere of energy. The energy sphere is drawn involuntarily into the Terror Toad's mouth, and Trini is swallowed whole in her altered state. The toad wipes his maw and pats his belly as an image of the Yellow Ranger's helmet materialises on the monster's belly, signifying her capture. He exclaims how delicious Trini is, slapping the helpless image of her helmet twice and laughing derisively before resuming battle with the remaining Rangers.

Fate
Trini remains trapped in the Terror Toad's stomach for almost the entirety of the battle, and Zack is soon swallowed in the same way. After fellow Rangers Billy and Kimberly arrive and remove the monster's horn, Jason and then Billy are devoured as well after being ensnared by his physical tongue. Trini is eventually released safely along with the others when Kimberly strikes the monster's weak point by firing several arrows into his throat, forcing him to spit them back up as energy spheres that reform into the freed Rangers. The reunited team attack the Terror Toad successfully, culminating in Kimberly ultimately destroying him.
