This article is about a Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo. |
- "I think that it's time to pass the power onto someone else. Tanya, I'm giving my crystal to you. From this point on... you are a Power Ranger."
- ―Billy Cranston gives Tanya the Yellow Zeo Crystal.[src]
- "Do not make light, I've had a fright... Why can I not stop crooning?"
- ―Tanya is forced to sing her words after a spell from Queen Machina.[src]
- "Hold on, I gotta put on a song... A long one."
- ―Tanya as she leaves her job to help the Rangers battle.[src]
- "You showed compassion and integrity, Ashley. I choose you with pride to be the new Yellow Ranger."
- ―Tanya passing on her powers to Ashley Hammond.[src]
Tanya Sloan was a civilian child with a research expedition in Africa when she was met by a young Aisha Campbell on the latter's mission to recover her fragment of the Zeo Crystal. However, when Aisha learns of an unnamed plague on the wildlife in the area, she decides to send Tanya back to the present in her stead with the fragment. Following the events of Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers, Tanya becomes Zeo Ranger II - Yellow of the Zeo Rangers.
During the events of Power Rangers Turbo, Tanya becomes the first Yellow Turbo Ranger of the Turbo Rangers; she eventually gave her powers to Ashley Hammond and retired as a Ranger.
Retroactively, she is also referred to as Zeo Yellow Ranger or Yellow Zeo Ranger, though these are in reference to the show, as opposed to proper labels. She has also been labeled Turbo Yellow Ranger, a variation on her in-show label.
History[]
Alien Rangers[]
After the evil Master Vile reversed time and rendered all the Power Rangers as helpless children, they were sent through time to collect the fragments of a mystical item called the Zeo Crystal. The current Yellow Ranger, Aisha Campbell, traveled to Africa where she encountered a lion. Right before the lion attacks, Aisha was rescued by a young girl named Tanya Sloan. Though she found her Zeo Sub-crystal, Aisha wished to stay in Africa to help sick animals in a time that doesn't detract from her journey as a Power Ranger. TV STORY-Legacy of Power Therefore, Tanya agreed to return to the present in her place. TV STORY-Hogday Afternoon
Zeo[]

- ―roll call as Zeo Ranger II - Yellow[src]
When the five Zeo Sub-crystals were finally reunited and Master Vile's tampering with time had been undone, Tanya discovered that she had grown into a teenager along with the other Rangers. As Tanya was the most inexperienced of the group, it was briefly considered that Aisha's Zeo Powers go to Billy Cranston. He declined, however, because he felt that he served his purpose, though he was willing to take the powers himself if Tanya didn't feel up to the task. Tanya accepted and became the new Zeo Ranger II - Yellow. TV STORY-A Zeo Beginning
Tanya began her tour of duty as one of the newest members of the Power Rangers team while having to cope with the Machine Empire invasion, as well as having her world turned upside down by leaving her time period and entering the Angel Grove of the 1990s as an orphan. To help her cope with her temporal displacement, Katherine Hillard convinced her parents to let Tanya stay at their place.
Luckily, Tanya adapted quickly to her new lifestyle and began to learn martial arts from Tommy Oliver and Adam Park.

TV STORY-Rangers in the Outfield They eventually reconciled and decided to remain friends. TV STORY-Game of Honor She was also an excellent singer, and her homemade music video caught the interest of a recording company. TV STORY-Song Sung Yellow Despite her lack of a formal education, she revealed herself as one of the wisest of the Power Rangers, easily solving mysteries that often left her friends baffled.
It was eventually revealed that her real parents had been explorers, who had left her in Africa when they went searching for the "Lost Tiki of Auric" on the fabled Mysterio Island. After receiving a letter from Aisha and her old tribe, she managed to find and rescue them on the island. She learned that the "Lost Tiki" was in fact the form of the ancient hero, Auric the Conqueror, whose care she placed in the hands of Jason Lee Scott, who was serving as the Gold Ranger at the time.

She became the Yellow Turbo Ranger and gained the Dune Star Turbozord.
