Princess Shayla
Princess Shayla (played by Ann Marie Crouch) is the Princess of the Animarium, a floating landmass that is the last remnant of the lost world of Animaria. After the defeats of Animus and Master Org, she fell asleep for centuries. However, she was reawakened along with the Org spirits by the pollution caused by humans. Shayla serves as the advisor to the Rangers, as well as filling the role of damsel in distress. However, she can and will defend herself if absolutely necessary. This is proven in the episode The Master's Herald. She 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). She has romantic feelings for Merrick, who was formerly her protector 3000 years ago, feelings which are proven to be reciprocated, though he refuses to let his show out of both guilt and what he feels is his duty. After Master Org was destroyed, Shayla took back the Wild Force Powers and went back into the sky, until the Wildzords are needed to protect the earth once more.
