"I am Princess Shayla, and this is the Animarium."
―Princess Shayla[src]

"Don't undestimate me! I'm not just a princess, I'm a Guardian of the Earth!"
―Princess Shayla revealing to Toxica she's able to fight and defend herself[src]

Princess Shayla is the beautiful Princess of the Animarium, a floating landmass that is the last remnant of the lost world of Animaria. She is also the mentor to the Wild Force Power Rangers.

History[]

After the defeats of Animus and Master Org, Shayla fell asleep for centuries. 3,000 years later, she was reawakened along; with the Org spirits by the pollution caused by humans. Shayla serves as the adviser to the Rangers, sometimes fills in a "damsel in distress" role, but she can and will defend herself if absolutely necessary.Tvicon TV STORY-The Master's Herald

Shayla is kind and very accepting, notably showing kindness to the evil Zen-Aku when he appeared to be in pain, despite him having kidnapped her and being a powerful enemy (though he was later proven to be Merrick Baliton under a curse), also when the Duke Org Jindrax was being hunted down by his fellow Orgs she tried to comfort him despite her being his captive and even trying to reason with Master Org while being imprisoned by him in the Nexus, but she has a strong will. She has romantic feelings for and an on-and-off relationship with Merrick, the Lunar Wolf Ranger - her former protector from 3,000 years ago; due to the fact that; he refuses to let his reciprocated feelings for her show because of his guilt over what happened during the original Master Org's demise and what he feels is his duty, and he's the one who gave her golden necklace which enables her to communicate with the Rangers, to see images in its jewel and to even empower the Wild Zords, and she wore it until it was stolen by Master Org to use it in his final ceremony to empower himself.

After the Master Org of the present-day was destroyed, Shayla took back the Wild Force Ranger Powers and raised the Animarium back; into the sky; until they and the Wildzords were needed to protect the Earth once more.

According to Alyssa's narration; Shayla returned to her sleep after departing from the Rangers and was presumably, still in her slumber; when the Animarium was visited by the HyperForce Rangers and the Megaforce Rangers.

Personality[]

to be added

Abilities[]

Shayla has shown herself to have several abilities:

  • Teleportation into the Sacred Water: Shayla is able to teleport herself in the form of a light blue energy ball and outside the viewing pond to protect herself from orgs.
  • Org imprisonment: As revealed in Revenge Of Zen-Aku, Shayla could use her magic to imprison Orgs in a stone tomb, as she previously did to Motorcycle Org.
  • Hand-to-hand Combat: In The Master's Herald, Shayla reveals to Toxica she's able to defend herself and is even able to do cartwheels and jumps.
  • Longevity: Shayla apparently has longevity which allowed her to live for 3000 years while retaining a youthful appearance.

Arsenal[]

  • Viewing Pond: Her pond in the Animarium is able to alert her when Orgs are attacking Earth and also to indicate how dangerous it is by sending a water sprout whose size depends of said Org's power. It also has sacred water on which she can teleport inside and also can electrocutate any Org it touches.
  • Magical Necklace: Princess Shayla was given a golden necklace with a blue jewel by Merrick which allows her to contact the Rangers, empower the Wild Zords and show images of the Rangers on its jewel. She wore it until it was stolen from her by Master Org.
