History[]
Past[]
As a kitten, Yale was the "runt of the litter" and was doted on by their mother because of this. This imbued them with a sense of love, kinship and peace. From then on they drew the attention of a mysterious figure, who watched them all their life. They alone broke free of their family's owners because they were small enough to slip outside the bag that held their litter but was unable to break them free, leaving him on his own. They eventually developed a bond with a boy that they swore to protect forever. But due to having been powered by the Morphin Grid, they caused an immense blast and worried the boy's parents. They drove them away afterwards. The boy still went out searching for them in the cold night, and lost his way. Yale was able to find the boy in the snow and warm him with their powers, saving the boy. COMIC STORY- Power Rangers (Boom! Studios) Issue 10
Necessary Evil/Unlimited Power[]
The Omega Rangers were later sent to Saard to apprehend Yale due to their connection to the Morphin Grid. Yale proved too strong for them so Kiya was sent to weaken them so the Rangers could capture them. COMIC STORY- Go Go Power Rangers Issue 31 Yale was later released after he was no longer empowered by the Morphin Grid, & was allowed to roam free aboard the Spectrum II, much to Zack's dismay. COMIC STORY- Power Rangers (Boom! Studios) Issue 1 Zack then tried to play fetch with Yale but they scratched the ball. Before Zack can process his actions, the power in the Spectrum II went off. When the Horrid was about to kill Zack, Yale intervened and scared them away. COMIC STORY- Power Rangers (Boom! Studios) Issue 2
Yale stayed on as a companion for the Omega Rangers, XI, & Drakkon as they hunted the Empyreals & brought the Hartunians to Safehaven. There they found a new friend in the orphan child Reeshka. They bonded with her much as a cat bonds with a new child. However, peer pressure caused Reeshka to drive them away. Some time later, the mysterious figure, who had been watching Yale all their life, alerted him to the danger that Reeshka and her friends were about to face. The children had been looking for a Morphin temple in an adventure and had come across a giant serpent. Yale stepped in and saved them. Reeshka renewed her friendship with Yale. Later that day, the mysterious figure beckoned Yale to come to the temple. Here Yale finds the blue Omega Morpher. The mysterious figure, revealed to be the Blue Emissary, reveals that he remained bound to this world after death so he may complete the circle. In Yale, instead of ambition, he finds forgiveness and instead of power, strength. He acknowledges that Yale is the final piece of the puzzle, and now that he's found Yale, he can finally rest.

Ranger Academy[]
Yale in later years became a professor at Ranger Academy. When Sage peers into the teacher’s lounge, she sees the giant cat sleeping on a lounge couch next to the librarian Nika. When she asks Nika about Yale and if pets are allowed on campus, Nika pleads her not to call Professor Yale a pet within range of their hearing. COMIC STORY- Ranger Academy Issue 3

Notes[]
- Yale is the first non-humanoid creature to become a Power Ranger in either the show or comic continuities.
- Amusingly, Yale's resemblance to a cat draws a parallel to the official web series Mighty Morphin Meower Rangers, a parody of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers where the Rangers are all cats.
- Being animal-like, Yale is the first Ranger to not speak in the human language.
- Yale is interchangeably referred to with he/him and they/them pronouns.
