"You ready to toast these teenagers?"

―Kapri to Marah and Shimazu^[src]

"Oh, please. Flying is so passé. Let's talk size!"

―Kapri^[src]

"You didn't really think we're as dumb as we act, now did you? I mean, come on! Nobody can be that idiotic."

―Kapri to Shimazu after she froze him.^[src]

Kapri was one of Lothor's nieces by marriage and is the sister of Marah. Like Marah, Kapri is obsessed with fashion, though she is bossier than her sister. She is snake-themed.

History

Ninja Storm

Kapri was first seen alongside Lothor and his henchmen as they ambushed Sensei Kanoi Watanabe at the Wind Ninja Academy. She participated in the battle against the Academy's ninjas, summoning several Kelzaks to attack. The villains succeeded in capturing all but three students: Shane Clarke, Tori Hanson and Dustin Brooks. Aboard Lothor's ship, Kapri and Marah argued over who would get control over parts of Earth until they were interrupted by Lothor, who threatened to banish them back to their parents. TV STORY-Prelude to a Storm

Giant Kapri battles Tori.

Over the next few months, Kapri continued to serve her uncle. Both she and Marah used a Personal Alien Manager to summon various aliens to battle the new Wind Rangers, such as the Mad Magnet. TV STORY-There's No "I" In Team The sisters also set up schemes against the Rangers by posing as various civilians, including shopkeepers TV STORY-Beauty and the Beach and botanists. TV STORY-Nowhere to Grow

However, each of Kapri and Marah's plots failed, enraging Lothor. Lothor eventually attempted to replace Kapri's sister Marah with the alien Beevil, though Marah returned to the villains' ranks after Beevil's destruction. TV STORY-All About Beevil

Kapri and Marah, wishing to impress their uncle, later enrolled themselves in an internship program to get their Masters in the Business of Evil. Lothor warned the sisters that if they had failed, he would put them in "detention" permanently. Kapri and Marah summoned the alien Footzilla to assist them against the Rangers. Lothor mentored Kapri and Marah, but after Footzilla's inevitable defeat, Lothor forced the two into detention. TV STORY-Sensei Switcheroo

After more failures to defeat the Rangers, Kapri revealed to Shimazu that she and Marah had been pretending to be incompetent, but are secretly planning to overthrow Lothor and steal his ship. The sisters recruit Shimazu into aiding them against their uncle. Kapri piloted the Kaprizord and attacked the Rangers. She was nearly defeated until Shimazu and Marah joined the battle with their own zords. Shimazu and Marah are ultimately defeated, leaving only Kapri's zord functional. Tori stunned the Kaprizord which allowed the Megazord to destroy it. Enraged, Kapri and Marah killed Shimazu. TV STORY-Down and Dirty

Kapri freezes Shimazu.

The sisters also deceived Vexacus into believing that they were working with him against Lothor. In truth, they were working with Lothor to ensure each of his generals were killed in battle so that he could resurrect them from the Abyss of Evil. Kapri and Marah were surprised to discover Lothor had activated their ship's self-destruct mode, but Lothor revealed that he didn't trust his nieces despite their working with him, and he planned to have them killed in the ship's destruction. The Thunder Rangers, rescuing Cam from captivity, freed Kapri and Marah from their shackles. In exchange, the sisters helped the Rangers save the captured ninja students, and the group escaped from the ship before it exploded. Kapri, along with Marah, ended up joining the Wind Ninja Academy, with Kapri wearing a pink ninja suit. TV STORY-Storm Before the Calm

Later, Marah and Kapri were shocked when Lothor reemerged with the brainwashed Wind Ninjas on his side. After Lothor captured the ninja students with the Wind Rangers' help, Marah and Kapri agreed to rejoin his army. Later, the sisters outsmarted Lothor and helped the Rangers free the ninja students and Sensei Kanoi. TV STORY-Thunder Storm

Personality

During the series, Kapri is often portrayed as ditsy and rude. Much to her Uncle's annoyance, she isn't very successful at evil schemes. While her sister was shown to have a good side mid-way through the series, she never left Lothor's army or was shown faltering in her alliance until the end. The series finale reveals she much prefers being good to being evil. She and Marah often talked about Lothor in rude and judgmental ways, but when he approached them, they were very scared of their uncle. She is shown to have an even larger sense attitude, and is often conceited and shallow.

During the time of Thunder Storm, Kapri is shown to have matured a bit and is no longer quite as shallow. She is shown to have become caring for her cousin, Cam, when he was worried about his father. When Lothor returned, she quickly became frightened by her uncle and rejoined his army. Afterwards, it is shown she double-crossed him to help the Rangers.

Behind the Scenes

An unidentified stunt double.

• Kapri was portrayed by Katrina Browne.

Design

When in her alien clothing, she has bright pink hair most often done with two braids in front, the rest flowing free down her back with a small section sticking out the top. She most often wears an odd black headpiece, thick black necklace, a pink/purple and black bodice over a gold tank top with black pads over her shoulders. She wears bright pink/purple tights and black high-heeled boots. Kapri also has black elbow-length arm-warmers and a red dragon-like arm band attached to her left arm. She also carries around a samurai sword, her weapon of choice which she is shown to be quite skilled with.

During evil schemes, she is normally wearing ridiculous outfits and crazy hairstyles, all of pink color.

When shown with a more human nature, Kapri has blonde hair, usually with a pink highlight. Her ninja uniform has a pink streak.
