Dulcea

From Power Rangers Universe

Dulcea, Master Warrior of Phaedos

Dulcea was a character from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. She is the master warrior of Phaedos who drove off the Tengas. Dulcea at first distrusted the Power Rangers, even pinning Tommy under her staff. She only trusts them when they mention Zordon. After gaining their trust, they follow her to the ancient ruins of the Ninjetti Temple, where she gives them the power of the Ninjetti- the spirit of the animal all humans have within them. All of the Rangers, except for Adam are happy with their new powers. She asks Adam what's wrong, and he sadly says "I'm a frog". Dulcea then cheers him up by calling him a handsome prince and giving him a kiss (It is possible that Dulcea's animal spirit is an owl, as she transforms into one as she bids the rangers farewell). Strangely, Dulcea said that if she left the platform, she would age rapidly, however she did not age when fighting the Tengas. She may have meant that she can't step out towards the Phaedos Monolith; it could also mean that she can't come any closer to the Monolith.

Dulcea wears a revealing naturally colored green bikini with matching green knee-high boots. The bikini revealed her well toned figure. She carried whirling sticks which she used by drive away the Tengu Warriors, which make a loud whistling sound. The whistling sticks could be combined into a staff. Dulcea is quite tall, and has an unusually muscular figure for a woman, which is to be expected from a lady warrior.

Dulcea was played by Gabrielle Fitzpatrick, an Australian soap opera star; Catherine Sutherland auditioned to play Dulcea, but was turned down for the role, however they liked her performance enough to bring her back in the future. She would later on become the second Pink Ranger, Kat Hillard.

According to an earlier version of the script, Dulcea was a member of the "Order of Meridian" alongside Zordon. After the Order's enemies were defeated over time, she returned to Phaedos and hadn't heard from Zordon for centuries. She was also the only surviving descendant of the Nathadians, a race of people who brought the Great Power to Phaedos from another time and another dimension. Legend has it that she - as the Master Warrior - was the only person who knew the secrets of the Great Power. She also had a green pet anteater-like creature named Snoggle who can speak in an alien language that only she could understand.

Dulcea is present in the Parody Rangers Movie as the character Dulphea. This character is well-known for sexually attracting the red ranger (based on Jason).
