History[]
Samurai[]
When Mia was young, she used to play with her brother Terry by playing music. At some point after that, Mia began her training as a Samurai who would later become a Power Ranger.
Mia first appeared in "Origins", where she joins the Samurai Rangers in their first battle to save the world.

She attempts to help Kevin out in "Deal With a Nighlok", when a kid makes a deal with a Nighlok. After they find out what it was, she and Kevin attacked the Nighlok, and they manage to win when the other Samurai Rangers arrive.
In the episode "Forest for the Trees", Ji gives her the Beetle Disc. Mike becomes jealous that she got the Disc and not him. Mia later gives it to Mike, saying "he'll make better use of the Disc then she can".

Dino Fury[]

When Zayto suggests they use the Legendary Database and find a weapon from the Ranger legacy to use against Wreckmate, looking at the Database, Zayto suggests building Jayden’s Fire Smasher due to its enormous size and power.

TV STORY-The Festival

TV STORY-Morphin Master
Personality[]
Mia is the mature, intelligent, beautiful, feminine, optimistic warrior to the Power Rangers. Due to her caring nature, Mia is also known as the big sister of her team. She is known for her kindness and generosity and finds joy in making others feel better and helping them out. Mia is so eager to give that sometimes her own needs get overlooked. She hoped that someday she would find her "Prince Charming", possibly hinting that it was Kevin or Jayden.
While Mia is the more sensitive out of her teammates, she is anything but a damsel-in-distress. Mia isn't your average female samurai, or an average samurai in general. When it comes to kicking monster butt and saving the world, there really is almost no one more suited for the job than her.
She considers herself to be a great cook, but none of the other Rangers agree, save for Lauren, who adores her cooking. One thing they can agree on is that Mia is a crucial part of their monster-fighting team. She is also very compassionate, showing sympathy to Dayu after seeing her past misfortune and even asking if she couldn't return to her past self. However, she can be unforgiving towards those who hurt her friends.
