 This article is about a villain-turned-ally in Power Rangers Ninja Storm.
|
- "We're gonna take over Uncle's ship, and you're gonna help us."
- ―Marah to Shimazu.[src]
Marah was one of Lothor's nieces by marriage and is the sister of Kapri. Like her sister, she was very ditsy and fashion conscious. She is bee-themed.
Biography
She was a decent fighter, as her powers were teleportation, energy projection, combat techniques, shielding, flight, clothing transformation, and weapon-hand extension.
Marah constantly annoyed her uncle, often failing him. Marah and Kapri constantly tried to prove to their uncle that they were evil enough to be in his army, and frequently showed up each other and the other generals in order to do so.
Marah's only real friend throughout the series was Beevil, who also resembled her, in certain ways.
Marah and Kapri as students in the Wind Academy.
One time, she pretended to turn against Lothor, and to the side of good, and tricked Dustin Brooks into believing this too.
Marah briefly had her own giant robot to command, which resembled a giant Beevil that was repainted pink, instead of red. It was destroyed during its one time use.
Marah, along with Kapri, joined Vexacus and plotted to overthrow her uncle, pretending to be masterminds by hiding their ignorance. This ended up being a ruse and part of Lothor's plan to rid himself of his generals.
Lothor double crossed Marah and left her and Kapri on his exploding ship. She and Kapri left the ship with the Thunder Rangers and Cam. Like her sister, Marah ended up joining the Wind Ninja Acadamy. Cam was shocked when he saw her and Kapri arrive. Marah was uncomfortable with the Ninja outfits, fearing they would make her butt look big, later arguing with Kapri, when she remarked that it wasn't as big as her head. Marah wore an orange ninja suit.
Marah and Kapri were shocked when Lothor reemerged, especially with the Wind Ninja's on his side. After Lothor captured the ninja students, Marah and Kapri agreed to rejoin his army. The girls later outsmarted Lothor and helped the Rangers free the ninja students.
Personality
Unlike most of the villains in Power Rangers Ninja Storm, Marah is a happy-go-lucky woman that's very easy going and is always seen cheerful, like her sister Kapri, she isn't very successful at evil schemes, but unlike her sister, she is very kind to her allies (and secretly, to the Rangers) and is very good friends with Choobo, despite her goofiness, she is very intelligent, also unlike her sister Kapri, she is shown to have a good side with the Rangers, as shown in the episode "All About Beevil" when she becomes good friends with the Yellow Ranger, and deeply regrets having to betray him. However this is also obviously because she has a crush on him.
Powers and Abilities
- Hand-To-Hand Combat: Marah is a formidable fighter despite her goof-off personality.
- Teleportation: Marah can teleport to any location at will.
- Clothes Transformation: With a snap of her finger, she can change her clothing at will.
- Energy Shield: Marah can cast a yellow energy shield to protect her allies. In the episode "Boxing Bopp-a-Roo", it is powerful enough to block both the Ninja Rangers' Storm Striker and the Thunder Rangers' Thunder Blaster.
- Energy Lasers: Marah can fire orange colored energy lasers from her hands.
- Lightning Bolts: Marah can conjure light orange colored lightning bolts.
- Energy Ropes: From the jewel-shaped bee eyes on her headpiece, she can fire light purple energy ropes to tie her enemies with.
- Mega Beam: By combining her powers with Kapri, they can fire a large energy beam.
Arsenal
- Ninja Blades: Marah equipped dagger-like blades on both hands to aid her in combat.
- Blade Multi Rush Attack: Marah can go in at high speeds and attack her enemies with her blades.
- Ninja Baton: Marah is also armed with a baton for combat.
- Lightning Beam: Marah can also fire pink lightning beams from her baton.
- Marahzord: In the penultimate episode of Power Rangers Ninja Storm "Down and Dirty", Marah has her own personal Zord, it looks very similar to Beevil, but colored pink.

Notes
- In Indonesian and Malay, Marah means angry.
- In the first part of the three-part episode "The Samurai's Journey", its revealed that Marah doesn't know the term "sarcasm".
- Marah and Kapri are most likely a homage to, and female versions of, Bulk and Skull from the Power Rangers in the original Zordon-Era, since they serve as comic relief throughout the season.
- In spite of her role in the series, in the episode "Eye of the Storm", it shows that she is afraid of being laughed at by others.
- Katrina Devine also played Cassidy Cornell in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. During the crossover episode, both characters met, and commented on their similarities (though both insisted that they were the better looking one).
- Marah's relationship with Dustin is similar to Scorpina's with Adam from the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Unlike Scorpina however, Marah admits she does like Dustin.
- Marah might have had a divided heart, as in the episode "All About Beevil" when Lothor replaces Marah with Beevil, one of Marah's friends, she decided to work with the Ninja Rangers, but her mind does support Lothor, considered that he is her uncle, until she saw how terrible her uncle was. This was touched on again in the final part of the two-part series finale episode "Storm Before the Calm" as he left her and Kapri on the ship to be destroyed.
- In the finale, Storm Before the Calm, Marah (as well as Kapri) officially joins the Wind Ninja Academy, wearing an Orange uniform (her sister in a Pink uniform). In the Dino Thunder/Ninja Storm teamup, Thunder Storm, they are seen using these uniforms, indicating they were allowed to keep them as students. This would suggest that, while Marah had envisioned being the Pink Ninja Storm Ranger, if she were to become one, she'd be the Orange Ninja Storm Ranger, with her sister being the Pink Ranger.
