#She's never been 'allowed' a life until she meets Zack so you're looking at a girl

WHAT  THEY  SMELL  LIKE.  Sera loves the outdoors and fairly regularly smells of flowers, wood, and grass, especially prior to settling down due to her traveling and sleeping in trees. However, she vastly prefers fruity and beachy scents when it comes to shampoos, bodywashes, and perfumes, though she doesn’t often wear the later without reason to - she adores strawberry scents and watermelons, and gravitates to them enough that her bathroom is full of them, resulting in her smelling much like a fresh strawberry or watermelon after a shower or a bath until nature once more takes over. This only changes when she’s had a long and stressful day and tries out a bathbomb to relax in with her partner, more often than not going for florals here like lavender, sweet pea, and cherry blossom, or when she’s been at the beach, leaving her smelling much like the sand water, and fresh breeze she loves so dearly.

HOW  THEY  SLEEP.  SLEEPING  POSITION.  SCHEDULE.  ETC. Pre-settling, it was often on her back or on her side in a tight ball; she’d sleep in trees if she could find any, and on her back was usually the only option there. If no tree, she’d find shelter under a rock, brush, or even on a rock, and curl up as tight as she could with her bag for a pillow to keep herself as out of the way and unnoticeable as possible, including whenever she was allowed a cot or bed at an inn or someone’s home. Once given her own bed, be it in the treehouse or her home on the plate, she shifts into a more comfortable side position, or snuggles herself into Zack’s side, and has only begun sleeping restfully and comfortably since living with him.

As for schedule, she doesn’t stick to a strict one - She usually sleeps either whenever Zack goes to bed or she’s too tired to stand, or when she has no work left, which can be anywhere from 11pm to 2am, sometimes even later or even not at all. Regardless of when she crashes, though, she’s up at dawn and rising with the sun if it’s allowed to shine into her room, with the only means of making her sleep in to avoid sunlight actually shining in through the window. She’ll then either be woken by her partner getting up or sleep in closer to noon - A sign she needs more sleep than she ever gets, if her occasional after dinner naps (once a week to every other week, at best unless otherwise overworked) aren’t enough to say as much.

WHAT  MUSIC  THEY  ENJOY.  She doesn’t really have a favorite? She’s fond of instrumentals and would listen to anything light and lacking vocals for hours, yet at the same time she’s also into light rock, pop, classical... She’ll listen to a lot of things as long as it’s not blaring, overly loud and screaming, and you’ll usually catch her dancing, if not singing along! She’s especially fond of regional musics, such as things that would be played at a festival or a fair, and you’re specially likely to catch her dancing and humming along then when she’s learned the tune.

HOW  MUCH  TIME  THEY  SPEND  GETTING  READY  EACH  MORNING.  Half and hour to about 45 minutes, at most. If not distracted by her family, she’ll get up, wash up or shower if it’s a shower day (which is every other day unless she’s been sweating or something else comes up), take the time to brush out her hair and occasionally towel dry it if she’s not letting it air dry, dress, and tend to her part in breakfast duties. There’s not much she does special unless the day itself is meant to be special or she’s distracted by something.

FAVOURITE  THING  TO  COLLECT.  Geodes. She doesn’t really talk about it and keeps these a secret, but they’re the only non-essential thing she allowed herself to have before she settled down, a small sparkle of brightness found in the most unsuspecting of places that never failed to make her smile. She doesn’t have many and her collection is more fragments and small crystals over larger, fuller pieces, but they sit in a special box that has long since been added to as something of a treasure box since meeting Zack and had other memories tucked into it alongside them.

Second place goes to sea hearts - seeds growing in Gongaga’s jungle often swept out to sea by the rivers once dropped.

LEFT  OR  RIGHT  HANDED.  Right-handed

FAVOURITE  SPORT(S). To watch? None, unless it’s the local kids playing, but I’m not sure that counts. To play, she’s not partial to any in particular, especially because she’s not in the best of health even when she’s better about taking care of herself as an adult, but she does like to play soccer and kickball with her boys and the local kids. She needs a break to catch her breath after around an hour and a half, but it’s nice to hear them laughing~

FAVOURITE  TOURISTY  THING  TO  DO  WHEN  TRAVELLING.  SEE EVERYTHING. Is there a sight to see that tourists usually flock to? She wants to see it! She wants to see everything she can and explore, visit all the places, try all the foods she’s able to, make all the memories she can - She’s the tourist you’ll find lighting up like a kid on christmas and asking whoever she’s with to go see whatever sounds interesting, just because she wants to explore. She wants to attend and see it all!

Second place goes to spending all day on the beach, but that’s less a touristy thing and more just Sera’s being drawn to the beach and sea overall.

FAVOURITE  KIND  OF  WEATHER.  Mild weather! Sera doesn’t do well with super hot or super cold, so she’s really into more mild weather where she can just walk outside without a coat or sweater of any kind and enjoy the sunlight. She likes to go for walks, see clear, cool nights where she can watch the stars, stand comfortably on the beach... If it rains, that’s okay too, she can stand under something and watch the rain fall and jump in the puddles - Just as long as it’s a mid-temp kind of day and she can get a few minutes outside, at least, to do her outdoor errands and chores comfortably. <3

WEIRD  /  OBSCURE  FEAR  THEY  HAVE.  Specific bugs. Sera has a LOT of fears though of all of them, it’s perhaps her fear of bugs with many legs and shells/’creepy crawlies’ that’s the most obscure or weird - She’s fine with a lot of bugs, but it’s things like roaches, crickets, and centipedes/milipedes and beetles that scare her. They creep her out and leave her unsettled and spooked, no thanks she’ll do without them thanks-

THE  CARNIVAL  /  ARCADE  GAME  THEY  ALWAYS  WIN  WITHOUT  FAIL. Skeeball and ring toss! Sera’s pretty good at judging distances, strength needed, and the like, and can fairly accurately figure out how hard and where to throw, even if she doesn’t understand how or how to explain her reasoning for it. She’ll usually give away any prizes (or tickets!) she gets from it, too, but it’s not unlike her to be convinced to keep one if whoever’s with her notices it making her eyes light up like a kid, or is dog or cat themed.

UNPROFESSIONAL REVIEW OF EVERY POWER RANGERS EPISODE I CAN FIND PART 3!

Spoilers ahead for episodes 11-16. It's been a while I hope this post finds you...I don't know what state it will find you in but it could be Connecticut for all we know. Anyway, it's been a long time so I had to back up pull these out of the drawer and dust them off. I"ve mostly finished season 1 already at this point and started season 2 because the filler was getting to me and then I realized, life is far too short to get impatient. So time to slow down and reflect.

As well as subject ourselves to this madness.

Episode 11: No clowning around.

We start the episode off with Kimberly, Zack, Billy, and Jason at the Angel Grove Fair with Zack showing his hip-hop stilt dancing....yeah no it doesn't really work that well and he takes a short spill only to quickly reveal today's Villain, evil imposter clowns. Meanwhile, we see Trini bringing the kid of the day....her cousin.

Kids are cute, clowns are wholesome and nothing bad could possibly happen. Right.....so short fact I love clowns. I hate evil and monster clowns because they give the noble profession a bad name anyway whoever Pineapple the clown is, the clown council is probably greatly displeased with them.

Bulk and Skull enter the picture to tease the main team and get egg on their face. The eggs came from Billy attempting to juggle eggs on offer from the villainous clown Pineapple...Not sure but it's the thing today I guess.

So we get a segue to hearing the Gloriously Evil plan for her repulsiveness. Magical Pineoctopus that turns people into cardboard cutouts and....a...fake....fair? You know if magic stuff wasn't involved I would question how the fuck the police aren't shutting these stunts down before people get hurt. I wonder if there's just an "it's not my problem" field on these things.

So the monster of the week flattens Sylvia and the rangers convince the park goers to leave thus begins the fight. Meanwhile, Trini saves Sylvia with some water and then rejoins the Rangers in time to Put this clown down....for good. Okay, he's a fruit cephalopod but that's beside the point. End of the episode Vignette and we learn never to go with strange clowns.....or strangers period.

Fun: * * * - -

Rita: Mad

These Clowns: Failures.

Episode 12: Power Ranger Punks

We start this episode with a reminder that Baboo...

This person is actually capable of evil as well. Though not skilled at the practice of monster molding, his specialty seems to be making potions. In this case, ones to make Kimberly and Billy into....Punks.

Meanwhile, Rita unleashes the Terror Toad while they try to figure a way to correct their friends' bad behavior. Through an antidote. It works they beat the toad with a well-aimed arrow to the mouth and save the day. Sorry Baboo, no villain star today for you.

Baboo: Great alchemist....also where'd you get the Rattlesnake Lips? Share your sources please and thanks.

Drinks: Don't leave open drinks Also don't drink open drinks if you're a hero. Even if it was fine earler.

Punk: Not dead.

Episode 13: Peace, Love, and Woe.

So we start off with both Bulk and Skull causing chaos and with Rita demanding Finster to make her....Madame Woe, who is apparently almost as evil as Rita herself. Huh... also love strikes when you least expect it. Billy ends up falling for Marge who asks him to the dance and...Marge gets mistaken for a Power Ranger.

Clearly, because Rita didn't give her loyal servant the proper intel. So yeah Marge and the rangers get zapped into Madam Woe's funky dimension of Woe where she is all-powerful and send the Blue Ranger back to beat her in One on One combat, Madam Woe is defeated and we get a vignette of learning....that Bulk stores his money in his shoe.

Knowledge: Cursed.

Fun: * * * * -

Woe: - - - - -

Episode 14: Foul Play in the Sky.

We start the episode by meeting Kimberly's Uncle Steve who is a pilot and a sleeping potion.

Rita, if Monsters can't kill the power dweebs then what about flat-out gruesome murder. In fact, why hasn't she just poisoned them with a deadly poison at this point? Is it the fact she wants to look upon them as they despair? Is that the game here?

Anyway, Steve is put to sleep and Kimberly lands a plane all the while Bulk and Skull are in the back passed out because obviously you'd faint hearing that the pilot is out like a light and you're probably going to die. Rita's monster of the week is a snake man thing that fires power-draining snakes.

The plane lands and Kimberly shows us some real archery skills with a regular William Tell signature move. And we end the episode on a light note of Shakes on Bulk and Skull.

Fun: * * *- -

Plane controls: * * * * -

Rita: Wanted for attempted murder through sabotage.

Episode 15: Dark Warrior.

So another family member makes a one-time appearance. Trini's Uncle Howard is a brilliant scientist. He even made an invisibility formula. And Bulk and Skull decide to pick on Billy for....quarters for a dumb arcade...game?

Actually, we've seen Billy do some really stellar martial arts so why is he putting up with this? Seriously?

Uncle Howard shows up and....isn't wearing his glasses as he's looking for his niece. So he dumbly puts the formula on the counter. This will cause trouble later I can tell. Also, Rita sends a new monster out to find this formula. The labeled Dark Warrior. Looks more like Camo with a scarf to me. I mean invisibility can also mean camouflaging.

So Dark Warrior being a sadistic monster captures Howard, then tries to extort the formula from Trini. They fight the dark warrior and defeat him with the combined power of friendship and giant robots. Then we see Bulk and Skull get a taste of their own medicine as Uncle Howard shows off the invisibility formula that apparently can be drunk and affects your clothes as well? Weird.

Science: - - - - - WE DON'T WATCH THIS FOR ACCURATE SCIENCE!

Fun: * * * * -

Boxes: Marked with TNT Like this was Minecraft.

Episode 16: Switching Places.

You'll never know a person until you walk a mile in their shoes is usually how the saying goes. I think it works better if they were them for a week. You really get to know someone's life after a week of having to do things the way they do things.

Anyway, we start this episode with Squatt being the little Gremlin he is messing with Billy's Invention....the machine in question is a Machine to allow someone to read your mind...

So first mistake not going through the line of making sure everything is right before the experiment. Secondly, human experimentation is a bit....questionable in ethics.

Anyways, Kimberly and Billy get Switched. Like you know....body swapped. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK THINGS BEFORE THE EXPERIMENT!

....The same also happens to Bulk and Skull.

All while this is going on Squatt unleashes a mighty Genie to fight the rangers. Guess it doesn't subscribe to the classic Genie Rules. However, the true power of the genie is in the lamp...obviously and Alpha defeats the genie by zapping it to...wherever he zapped it to. We close out the episode with everyone getting their minds back in their own bodies even Bulk and Skull sorta learn their lesson.

Switch: eroo

Genie: Wished out.

Skull: Pretty dull still.

Thus ends part 3 of this synoptic unprofessional review of every power rangers episode that I can get a hold of at least on Netflix. The next part will be the Green With EVIL special. Hence why I went with six episodes for this part because it's a five-parter coming up. Until then, see you in the next post.
