Karen Mizuki (カレン 水木 ) is Heart Queen (ハートクイン Hāto Kuin) of J.A.K.Q. She is a former policewoman.
History[]
J.A.K.Q.[]
She was assigned to investigating illegal drug/narcotics trafficking routes into Japan. During her investigations, Karen uncovered that CRIME controlled a majority of these routes and was going to assist ISSIS in destroying these routes. CRIME attempted to kill Karen by arranging a fatal car accident. Miraculously, Karen survived the accident but lost her right arm. Her father, a fellow police officer, was also killed in the crash. Enraged and seeking revenge, Karen willingly accepted Joker's offer to undergo his bionic process and join J.A.K.Q.. TV STORY-Ep. 1: 4 Cards!! The Trump is J.A.K.Q.

Legend War[]
Years later, Karen fought alongside not only her own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada.

Zenkaiger[]
A copy of Heart Queen was summoned alongside her team by Stacaesar through the J.A.K.Q. Dark Sentai Gear to fight Zenkaizer and Twokaizer, but the Heart Queen copy turned on Stacaesar after Twokaizer used the J.A.K.Q. Sentai Gear which gave Twokaizer Big One's "authority" over the J.A.K.Q. team. TV STORY-No. 14-kai! Duel! Zenkai VS Twokai!

Personality[]
Karen is a skilled martial artist and is proficient in a number of fighting methods. For a time she was part of the Kono Karate School where she befriended Natsuko Kono (Etsuko Shihomi) who was also a skilled martial artist. Karen has a flair for fashion and often sported tight red leather ‘hot pants’ and red long boots. Towards the end of the series, she fell in love with teammate Goro Sakurai (Spade Ace).
Heart Queen[]
As Heart Queen, Karen's cybernetic enhancements enable her to control magnetic energy; which she dubs her “Heart Cute Jiki Power” (Heart Cute Magnet Power). Using her magnetic powers, Karen is able to push and pull metallic objects and was even able to halt bullets in flight. Her powers can be further enhanced by focusing them through her Heart Cute weapon; sending out waves of magnetic energy that can bowl over opponents or force them into erratic behaviors (which she gleefully enjoys and asks afterwards "Do you want another?" (もう一つ、いかがですか "Mō hitotsu, ikaga desu ka?").
Her Heart Cute weapon can be used as a blunt impact weapon or as a method to focus her magnetic powers. She is also equipped with a “Magnetic Counter” in her right index finger which can send out a magnetic detection pulse used to pinpoint and identify objects (both metal and organic) in a way similar to radar.
