History
Lost Galaxy
Trakeena was the daughter of the galactic ruler and warlord Scorpius and an unknown female, though her mother may have been a humanoid, as she speaks highly of her human beauty in spite of her insectoid features. Scorpius considered Trakeena to be the evil princess of his alien army and spared no expense to spoil and protect her, but she did not like being treated as a child as she became older. During her teenage years, while she still enjoyed being spoiled, she wanted to become a warrior to prepare herself as ruler of her father’s army when she would have to succeed him and would frequently sneak away with her father's generals in efforts to prove herself as a warrior despite his disapproval.
In one such case, the general Treacheron had allowed Trakeena to come with him, but when confronted by Scorpius, he claimed that Trakeena had followed him to battle just to save his own neck. Upset at being sold out, and with help from Impostra, Trakeena convinced Scorpius that Treacheron was a traitor and had him locked up. Their feud continued as Treacheron tricked Trakeena into searching for a silver goblet just so he could ambush her once he was free from his cell. She was saved only thanks to the intervention of the Galaxy Rangers.
Eventually, Trakeena learned that Scorpius wished for her to enter the cocoon and become an insect with great powers like him. Not wanting to lose her mortal beauty the transformation would cause, Trakeena fled to the planet Onyx when he tried to force her. As she wandered into the tavern and found that her prestige did her no good in facing the ruthless patrons, Trakeena met Villamax and his aide Kegler. Villamax offered to train her to be a great warrior and taught her swordplay and martial arts. In time, Trakeena became a truly incredible fighter, and later introduced her newfound strength to the tavern when they tried to give her trouble again.
Trakeena's personal victory became dashed when word reached her that Scorpius was dying, for he had been manipulated by his new general Deviot to attack the Galaxy Rangers and had been gravely wounded in the battle. She returned to the Scorpion Stinger to be with her father in his last moments and to apologize for running away. As Scorpius died, he willed that everything he had was now in Trakeena's hands, and his remaining power was sealed in an ornate staff for her own use. As to the cocoon, Trakeena puts it in storage as she felt she didn't need it, but also wanted to keep it around just in case.
Now with all of her father's resources at her command, Trakeena began focusing her vengeance on Terra Venture and the Galaxy Rangers. Deviot told her that Scorpius was destroyed by Leo Corbett, the Red Galaxy Ranger. She would later capture and face off against him in a one-on-one sword duel, but would lose the chance to exact her vengeance when they were both attacked by Deviot's assassins Teksa and Kubak. Trakeena destroyed Teksa with ease and left Kubak to the Rangers, promising to destroy them for the death of her father.
She would continue to attack Terra Venture multiple times, and at one point had the Psycho Rangers restored only for them to be destroyed by the combined might of the Galaxy and Space Rangers. After Kendrix's sacrifice on destroying the Savage Sword used by Psycho Pink, Trakeena was able to expose Karone's identity immediately due to her full knowledge of the former Astronema's involvement on the Zordon Wave, but unable to steal the Pink Quasar Saber when Kendrix's spirit saved Karone and chose her as the second Pink Ranger.
When Terra Venture was pulled into the Lost Galaxy by Deviot, Trakeena was unwilling to follow, fearful of being unable to escape. When the colony emerged some time later, Trakeena destroyed the ship of Captain Mutiny, who was pursuing it as a show of her power over the galaxy.
When Deviot returned to Trakeena (having escaped the destruction of the castle) and claimed to have been forced into slavery by Captain Mutiny, she refused to believe him as she now knew he was plotting against her. Fleeing for his life, Deviot attempted to enter the cocoon but didn't make it before Villamax caught up. In desperation, he grabbed Trakeena and dragged her into the cocoon with him, causing them to fuse into a single being. Trakeena would emerge alone, her body now bearing some of Deviot's armor, but the fusion also made her as ruthless and evil as he had been.
Trakeena launched a full-scale assault on Terra Venture by arming her Stingwingers with suicide bombs to destroy the colony. Though she succeeded in bringing Terra Venture down and destroyed the Stratoforce and Centaurus Megazords at the cost of her entire army, this wasn't enough as she wanted the entire population of Terra Venture to suffer. This didn't sit well with Villamax, who had simply sworn to help her destroy the Power Rangers, and things came to a head when she was ready to destroy the escape shuttles carrying Terra Venture's population. When Villamax refused to destroy the shuttles and laid down his sword, Trakeena mercilessly killed him.
However, this had bought enough time for the Astro Megaship to catch up and protect the shuttles. Trakeena used the Scorpion Stinger's pincers to attack the Astro Megaship, forcing the Rangers to self-destruct it. As a result, the Scorpion Stinger was sent crashing down to the nearby Moon where it was destroyed, and Trakeena was badly injured. With her father's words echoing through her mind, she entered the cocoon and mutated into a green, humanoid muscular insect with immense powers. She powered up Terra Venture's remains and attempted to drop the wreckage on the colonized planet, and at the same time was able to fight off all five Galaxy Rangers. In the end, Trakeena was seemingly destroyed by Leo's Battlizer when he fired his weapon at point-blank range.
Lightspeed Rescue
Stole people's life energy
One year later, it was revealed that she had survived and managed to return to her human form. However, the kamikaze attack from the Battilzer had left Trakeena horribly scarred; donning a mask, she vowed to make the Galaxy Rangers pay for taking her mortal beauty. Deciding to destroy their homeworld as payback, Trakeena headed to Earth.
Keeping herself in secret, she employed the double agent demon Triskull to capture humans from Mariner Bay, intending to use their life energy to restore her back into her insectoid form so she could regain her great powers. Triskull claimed to the demons of Skull Cavern that he would give the energy to them so they could restore the body of their leader, Queen Bansheera, to its proper form. Trakeena wasn't concerned by the demons, knowing that at full power, she could easily destroy Olympius and Queen Bansheera. TV STORY-Trakeena's Revenge, Pt. 1
Confronting the Rangers
Things proceeded well, with Trakeena hiding in secret on thirteenth floor of an office building, while Triskull captured humans for her purpose. Unfortunately, her actions soon caught the attention of Lightspeed Rescue, who teamed up with the Galaxy Rangers to foil her.
Leo and Carter Grayson appear in Trakeena's lab, they are joined by the two final Galaxy Rangers, Kendrix Morgan and Damon Henderson. Trakeena shows up and blasts them all out of the high rise building.
Making matters worse, Olympius, aware of Triskull's betrayal, decided to destroy both him and Trakeena along with the Rangers. To do so, he created a dagger covered with poison stronger than that of ten taipans. As Olympius and his forces battled the Lightspeed Rangers and Galaxy Rangers, he thought that it would be more efficient to let Trakeena destroy them than himself.
Taking advantage of having both sides fighting, Trakeena strapped herself into the machine and began siphoning the life energy to return to her insectoid form. However, Olympius decided to "let Trakeena have her wish" to mutate, tossing the dagger into the room. It tainted the life energy, causing Trakeena to lose control of the mutation process; becoming energy, she flew into the city and became a giant purple monstrosity. Olympius left satisfied, knowing that one of his enemies would be destroyed, if not both. The Galaxy and Lightspeed Rangers teamed up to battle her. Despite the help of the Galactabeasts, the Galaxy and Lightspeed Rangers were unable to stop her until the Omega Megazord became infused with the Lights of Orion. Trakeena was then destroyed forever, as she exploded, she screamed in utter horror before she was explosively ripped apart. TV STORY-Trakeena's Revenge, Pt. 2
Dino Thunder
Trakeena was featured in a chronicle of Power Ranger history compiled by Tommy Oliver shortly after he formed the Dino Rangers, which was found by the nascent Ranger team in the Dino Lab. TV STORY-Legacy of Power
Beast Morphers
She was shown along with Villamax when the villains were looking for a past villain to revive with the Reanimizer, and came across Astronema. When Robo-Roxy deems that Astronema is the perfect candidate but Robo Blaze is not so sure. He recalls the classes from Ranger History, reminds Robo-Roxy that Astronema reformed back to Karone purified by Zordon's sacrificial energy wave, and would later join the Galaxy Rangers as the second Pink Galaxy Ranger. After seeing the footage of Karone doing just that, along with fighting against Villamax and Trakeena, a now disgusted Robo-Roxy drops Astronema’s gauntlet. Scrozzle suggests that instead of reviving a villain who turned good. TV STORY-Making Bad
Personality
When we are first introduced to Trakeena in the series, she appears to be a very young woman bent on trying to prove herself to her father and rule by his side. She would tag along with Scorpius' generals and bully them just because she could. Trakeena is the Princess of Scorpius' army and as such, she is pampered and spoiled by her father, he doesn’t discipline her, and never raises his voice or punishes her. She throws around her father's name in order to threaten Scorpius' generals (though this doesn't work as well on Onyx). She is also cunning and very manipulative. She was easily able to bend Furio to her will and convince her father that Treacheron, who is a very loyal general to Scorpius, is a traitor.
Trakeena was incredibly vain and proud. On one occasion, she had the monster Crumummy steal the beauty from all the female inhabitants of Terra Venture, because she hated the thought that they might be those more beautiful than herself. When faced with the possibility of losing her beauty to become as powerful as her father, Trakeena ran away.
Trakeena is power hungry, like her father. After becoming queen, she sits upon her throne trying to find new ways to destroy the Rangers in order to conquer and rule the universe. She quickly destroyed Captain Mutiny after he arrived in her galaxy to preserve her position as ruler of the universe.
Despite being vain, manipulative and power-hungry, Trakeena did have a good side. She had a good honour and she seemed to have a personality similar to Villamax’s, as she only wants to destroy the people who killed her father.
Trakeena was later forcefully fused with Deviot inside the cocoon by him, who hoped that he would be able to absorb Trakeena and become more powerful than Villamax. However, this proved to be his downfall as it was him who got absorbed by Trakeena, but unfortunately for her, Deviot's wicked nature completely consumed her. Trakeena was the dominant personality, but Deviot's wicked nature warped her mind and she lost all restraints. She became focused purely on wreaking havoc and destruction and was pure evil now like Deviot was, as well as now having a voice that echoed like Deviot’s. Trakeena's thirst for destruction took her evil to a whole new level.
After being poisoned by Olympius' dagger, Trakeena became completely feral; speaking exclusively in mindless feral roars and feminine (albeit distorted) yells with her only goal being destroying everything in sight.

- Fire Wave Generation: One of the most powerful attacks in Power Rangers history where Trakeena fired a massive orange fire wave from around herself after being hit by the Omega Megazord and Orion Galaxy Megazord finishers.

Design

Etymology
- Her name was inspired by and is an altered spelling of the trichina worm, a species that caused the disease trichinosis.
Notes
- Miller was originally supposed to reprise the role in Lightspeed Rescue. She initially accepted, but was dissatisfied over the fact that Saban had cut everyone’s salary so they would only receive money for one episode, Miller walked off prior to shooting first unit work. Jennifer Burns replaced her, and the change explains why Trakeena has an armor plate covering most of her face.
- Amy Miller stated on her Instagram story in May 2020 that the reason Trakeena's green armor was rarely used was due to the fact it severely restricted her movement.
