Karone was born on the planet [[KO-35]], and is the younger sister of [[Andros]], the future Red Space Ranger. Along with Andros, she had dreamed of being a Power Ranger. However, she was unable to realize her dream when she was kidnapped as a child by the evil bounty hunter, [[Darkonda]]. Darkonda took her to be raised by [[Ecliptor]] to be evil, and she was named Astronema, who was brought up to be the heir to the throne of [[Dark Specter]], the grand monarch of evil.

For almost a year Astronema tried to destroy the Space Rangers. When Andros discovered Astronema's true identity, he did everything in his powers to reform her. He very nearly succeeded, even making her an honorary Power Ranger, until she was captured once again by [[Dark Specter]] and brainwashed.

In the finale of ''Power Rangers: In Space'' (''[[Countdown to Destruction]]''), Andros destroyed the energy tube of the great wizard, [[Zordon]]. Once destroyed, it released a wave of purifying energy that eradicated all evil. This wave removed Astronema's programming, reverting her back to Karone. Restored, she returned to Earth with Andros and the other Rangers.

Karone had a very sweet and gentle personality, which was a vast contrast to her appearance in a tight all-black leather outfit and her past as an evil villainess. Although there was no explanation as to why she wore the leather outfit in ''Lost Galaxy'' instead of something pink, there was much more about Karone than what meets the eye. Long before becoming a Power Ranger, she was kidnapped as a young child from her home planet, KO-35, and trained to become an evil villainess named Astronema who caused a lot of mayhem and destruction. After she was reverted to the side of good, Karone did all she could to atone for all the evilness that she did in the years that she was Astronema, and this, plus the fact that she risked her life in order to obtain the missing Pink Quasar Saber, was the reason why she was able to replace a fallen Kendrix as the second Pink Galaxy'' ''Ranger.

After reforming from her stint as Astronema, Karone displayed a caring and loving personality. One of her major traits after her reform is her passion of being a Power Ranger, a childhood dream that she shared with her brother and a task she takes very seriously.

Due to missing out on a normal childhood, she often acted very bubbly, youthful, and child-like; always loving to have fun. She played the heart of the ''Galaxy'' Ranger team, always encouraging loyalty and teamwork. Her child-like personality also gave her a girlish vibe. If serving on the side of evil did anything good, it taught her how to fight and she was a force to be reckoned with, always using her training and Ranger powers to fight evil valiantly. Karone also gave us a new angle to a Pink Ranger because she was a major villainess in the season prior to her becoming a Power Ranger. She proved that even those who have been on the side of evil can still be a heroic and noble person that fights evil with a vengeance.
−
Perhaps due to her sheltered upbringing Karone has displayed a naive, almost child-like personality at times. She generally has a bubbly, fun-loving demeanor. Inspite of this, the guilt of her former deeds as Astronema weighs heavily on her, making her feel at times that she doesn't deserve to be happy.

Crystal Clear UserThis character is also known as the villain, Astronema

"Galaxy Pink!"

Karone is the second and current Galaxy Pink of the Galaxy Rangers, as well as the former villain Astronema.

She is also referred to as Pink Galaxy Ranger or Lost Galaxy Pink Ranger - variations on her in-show label, though the latter is more in reference to the show than a proper label.

History

Pre-In Space

Karone was born on the planet KO-35 and is the younger sister of Andros, the future Red Space Ranger. Along with Andros, she had dreamed of being a Power Ranger. However, she was unable to realize her dream when she was kidnapped as a child by the evil bounty hunter, Darkonda. Darkonda took her to be raised by Ecliptor to be evil, and she was named Astronema, who was brought up to be the heir to the throne of Dark Specter, the grand monarch of evil.

In Space

Main Article: Astronema

For almost a year Astronema tried to destroy the Space Rangers. When Andros discovered Astronema's true identity, he did everything in his powers to reform her. He very nearly succeeded, even making her an honorary Power Ranger, until she was captured once again by Dark Specter and brainwashed.

PRiS-Karone

In the finale of Power Rangers: In Space (Countdown to Destruction), Andros destroyed the energy tube of the great wizard, Zordon. Once destroyed, it released a wave of purifying energy that eradicated all evil. This wave removed Astronema's programming, reverting her back to Karone. Restored, she returned to Earth with Andros and the other Rangers.

Lost Galaxy

Sometime later, in the season Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy, Karone, disguised as Astronema, was present on the planet Onyx when the Pink Quasar Saber was on auction, the Quasar Saber had previously been lost when its previous owner, Kendrix Morgan, had died to save Cassie. Karone stole the Quasar Saber and sought to return it to the space colony Terra Venture, where the Lost Galaxy Power Rangers were stationed.

When she risked her life to protect the powerful weapon, the spirit of Kendrix appeared and saved her. Kendrix passed on the Pink Transmorpher, allowing Karone to become the second Pink Galaxy Ranger. She had finally achieved her dream of becoming a Power Ranger. During this time, Karone became bubbly and youthful, as her childish behavior was due to missing out on her childhood due to being Astronema.

Karone remained the Pink Ranger until Terra Venture crashed on Mirinoi. She returned the Pink Quasar Saber to its altar, which resurrected Kendrix.

Karone and the other Legendary Rangers in Super Megaforce

Before returning to Earth, Karone removed her Quasar Saber from the altar. After arriving, she witnessed the destruction upon Harwood County by the devastating power of the Emperor and his Armada. Karone joined with her Galaxy Ranger teammates Leo Corbett and Damon Henderson to help refugees go into hiding.

She later assisted the Super Megaforce Rangers in the final battle with the Legendary Rangers.

Personality and Traits

Karone had a very sweet and gentle personality, which was a vast contrast to her appearance in a tight all-black leather outfit and her past as an evil villainess. Although there was no explanation as to why she wore the leather outfit in Lost Galaxy instead of something pink, there was much more about Karone than what meets the eye. Long before becoming a Power Ranger, she was kidnapped as a young child from her home planet, KO-35, and trained to become an evil villainess named Astronema who caused a lot of mayhem and destruction. After she was reverted to the side of good, Karone did all she could to atone for all the evilness that she did in the years that she was Astronema, and this, plus the fact that she risked her life in order to obtain the missing Pink Quasar Saber, was the reason why she was able to replace a fallen Kendrix as the second Pink Galaxy Ranger.

Due to missing out on a normal childhood, she often acted very bubbly, youthful, and child-like; always loving to have fun. She played the heart of the Galaxy Ranger team, always encouraging loyalty and teamwork. Her child-like personality also gave her a girlish vibe. If serving on the side of evil did anything good, it taught her how to fight and she was a force to be reckoned with, always using her training and Ranger powers to fight evil valiantly. Karone also gave us a new angle to a Pink Ranger because she was a major villainess in the season prior to her becoming a Power Ranger. She proved that even those who have been on the side of evil can still be a heroic and noble person that fights evil with a vengeance.
