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 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, as well as Jason and Zack, morphs into a Power Ranger to do battle with the monster Terror Toad, aware of his appetite but not for what, nor his abilities. The trio's attacks prove ineffective against the monster, and they are easily fended off. Early in the battle, Zack and then Jason are knocked down with heavy blows, leaving Trini isolated against the toad. Immediately overpowered, Trini receives a decisive pair of blows from the Terror Toad and is sent spinning, crashing to the ground. As she struggles to get to her feet, the monster fires an energy beam resembling a tongue from its horn that wraps around Trini at the waist and hips. Struggling against the tongue in obvious distress, the Yellow Ranger cries out as her body begins to glow, but is soon cut off as the tip of the energy tongue licks her helmet and she is engulfed in a bright flash of white light, which dissipates as she turns into a yellow sphere of energy. The transformed sphere is drawn 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 most of the duration of the battle and her fellow Rangers Zack, Jason, and Billy are soon swallowed as well. Trini and the others are eventually freed by fellow Ranger Kimberly who ultimately destroys the Terror Toad.
