12. Astronema

A young girl called Karone was captured by the vile Darkonda. Screaming for help, she was transported to another planet, and met the Grand Monarch's of Evil. She was trained her to be an evil warrior and the  memories of being Karone faded away.

After years of training and competing against other evil warriors, she was awarded the title of Astronema, Princess of Darkness. She gained the space station, Dark Fortress, and an army of robotic soldiers called Quantrons. Astronema is known to change her hairstyle and color at will.

 She wore her locket that had the same pictures of her and Andros as children, however, she refused to acknowledge that she and Andros were siblings until later. As Astronema roamed the universe, conquering and destroying or turning onto slaves all those who would not serve her.

When she found out who she truly was, she had sided with her brother, Andros, and helped him find Zordon. However was later captured by her old trainer, and was brainwashed, to serve evil once again. Her emotions were removed and was inflicted with cybernetic implants that controlled her. The new Astronema

usurped the throne and became the Queen of Evil.

Until she was transformed back into Karone by the Rangers. She and her brother battled when a deflected energy bolt struck her. Only the love Andros felt for his sister was strong enough to bring her back.
