"Very deep within each of us is an animal spirit waiting to be released. Close your eyes and look deep inside."
―Dulcea bestowing animal spirits to the Power Rangers.[src]

Dulcea was a major supporting character character in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie who was the warrior of Phaedos.

History[]

Past[]

Little is known of Dulcea's origins but she clearly had a past with Zordon and Ivan Ooze was surprised and utterly disgusted to learn that she was helping his enemies.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie[]

After Ivan Ooze escapes from his Hyperlock Chamber, he destroys the Mighty Morphin powers and mortally wounds Zordon so the Power Rangers have to go to Phaedos to get the Great Power to save him. Dulcea is first seen as a strange cloaked figure watching them cross the beach went to Phaedos to find Dulcea and gave new powers.

However, Ivan sends down the Tengu Warriors to kill them which they nearly manage to do until Dulcea arrives and drives them off with agonizing noise. Initially, Dulcea distrusts the Power Rangers, likely assuming they’re power-mad tyrants marching to their own doom like countless others who sought the Great Power and perished were, even going as far as attacking Tommy Oliver and pinning him down with her staff trying to force the Rangers to leave Phaedos, only when they mention Zordon she realized she was wrong and then she trusts them.

Dulcea then leads them to the ancient ruins of the Ninjetti Temple where she gives them the power of the Ninjetti. When asked why he is unhappy with his new power, Adam replies "I'm a frog", and Dulcea cheers him up by calling him a handsome prince and kissing him. As a demonstration of what she means, Dulcea turns into a white barn owl but is unable to follow them on their journey since leaving this plateau will make her age to death.

Some days later, Dulcea is seen one final time watching the six teleportation streaks leaving Phaedos and wishes them luck in defeating Ivan. Given Dulcea cannot leave Phaedos without dying, she presumably remains there to this day.

Personality[]

Dulcea initially came across as hyper aggressive and violent who trusts no-one but becomes more friendly when she learns of Zordon's fate. She then becomes a second mentor to the Power Rangers, teaching them about the Ninjetti and how to save Zordon but expressed regret when she was unable to aid the Power Rangers in thier journey.

Behind the Scenes[]

Script[]

  • According to an earlier version of the script Dulcea was a member of the "Order of Meridian" alongside Zordon. After the Order's enemies were defeated she returned to Phaedos and didn't hear from Zordon for centuries. She was also the only surviving descendant of the Nathadians, a race that brought the Great Power to Phaedos from another time and dimension. Legend had it that as the Master Warrior she was the only one who knew the secrets of the Great Power. She also had a green pet anteater-like creature named Snoggle who could speak in an alien language only she understood.

Portrayal[]

Mariska Hargitay as Dulcea and Snoggle

Dulcea played by Mariska Hargitay with her Alien pet Snoggle to the left

  • Dulcea was initially played by Gabrielle Fitzpatrick but she had to go into surgery for unknown reasons mid-way through production. As such, she was temporarily replaced by Mariska Hargitay for much of the early production but she returned sometime later and Hargitay was let go.
    • Catherine Sutherland auditioned for the part of Dulcea but was turned down. However, they liked her performance enough to bring her back in the future where she would later become Katherine Hillard.

  • Gabrielle Fitzpatrick was around the same age as the rest of the cast, making it unknown if she was supposed to have the appearance of a teenage girl or a young woman in-movie (in regards to her physical appearance, not actual age).
