 This article is about a villain in Power Rangers Time Force.

- "Don't you see? Mutants can love, too. We're not so different from humans."
- ―Nadira persuading Ransik to stop being evil.[src]
Nadira is Ransik's daughter. She is a rather obnoxious, childish, immature, bratty, narcissistic, and egocentric pink-haired humanoid. Nadira would much rather run than fight, but when necessary she was a formidable opponent who possessed the ability to extend her fingernails to use as weapons. She also displayed superhuman strength, the ability to alter clothing, and to teleport. Nadira adores the 21st century's fashion, frequently stealing clothing and jewelry.
History[]
Time Force[]
Nadira disguised in her "human form".
Through unknown methods, Ransik gained a daughter named Nadira who aided him in his earlier plots in Millennium City. Nadira engineered Ransik's escape from custody, lying down on the ground and pretending to be injured. She aided her father's raid on the Cryo prison and prevented the mutant Gluto from being cryogenically frozen. Along with Ransik, Frax, and Gluto, she traveled back to the year 2001.
Nadira seemed to be quite affectionate with Circuit after she captured him in "Short-Circuited".
Nadira believed the only way to have true power in this century was to have lots of money and business power, and she frequently tries to accumulate more cash through extortion or theft rather than through honest means like lending. However, she is always defeated by the Time Force Power Rangers. A running gag on the show was that Gluto had a crush on her and would try to woo her, but to no avail.
In the last episodes of the series, as Gluto and the Cyclobots hunt down Frax, Nadira diverts herself by taking over a clothing store. Trip shows up alone to stop her, and the Xybrian takes on the mutant. But, when a woman goes into labor, the two stop and try to help her. Trip forces Nadira to help the woman deliver her baby. Nadira emerges from the dressing room with the newborn, who she calls beautiful. Trip tells her that humans can't be all that bad, and Nadira agrees with him. After playing with human children, Nadira questions her supposed hatred for them. Nadira goes to an imprisoned Frax for answers. He tells her that hate is a vicious cycle propagated by humans and mutants. Nadira explains that she doesn't feel hate towards humans anymore but Frax denies that. As Frax is taken away in chains Nadira apologizes for what her father did to him and calls him by his real name, Dr. Ferricks. He sees a spark of goodness in Nadira, and urges her to break the cycle. As Nadira tries to make Ransik stop the hate, he scolds her for mourning over Frax, and knocks her down. When a baby was left behind during the attack, she decided to keep it safe and try to find its parents. While doing that, she is accidentally wounded by Ransik, and asked him to do the right thing.
Within a year of her return to the future, Nadira is working with children. Apparently Lucas managed to set her up so that she either didn't have to go to prison, got community service or didn't have to go to prison for long. 
TV STORY-Reinforcements from the Future
Wild Force[]
She accompanied Ransik and the other Time Force Rangers in the Power Rangers Wild Force team-up episode to help them fight the Mut-Orgs. Apparently she likes Lucas as in one episode she goes out on a date with him after thinking he wrote poetry about her (it was about his race car) but in "Reinforcements from the Future", at the end he walks off with her holding hands indicating that he may possibly return her feelings.

Etymology[]
- Possibly derived from the word nadir, the lowest possible point attained by something. From astronomy, a nadir is the direct opposite of a zenith, i.e. a point directly beneath the observer.
Notes[]
- Though Ransik is her father, it is unknown who Nadira's mother was or if she even had a mother. This makes her similar to Trakeena and Rito, as their mothers were never revealed either.
- She is also the first villain to have pink hair. The second is Kapri from Ninja Storm and coincidentally both of them are related to the main villain and redeemed themselves.
