Lauren Shiba

Lauren is the older sister of Jayden Shiba, another Samurai Ranger Fire who left to fight the half Nighlok Dekker alone, and the 18th head of the Shiba clan. She is the leader of the Samurai Power Rangers, taking the role of Samurai Ranger Fire (The Red Ranger). Her main goal is to find Master Xandred, the leader of the Nighloks, and seal him away his her Symbol Power sealing technique. When Lauren is in her Samurai Ranger Fire outfit, she shows bravery and determination. When she is outside of the outfit, however, she is shy and asocial due to her being isolated from human interactions since she was a child. When Lauren is ready to fight, she pulls out her Samuraizer, a flip phone that has a calligraphy brush when opened and folded in half, and yells "Go go Samurai" before painting a red 火 and swiping it with the Samuraizer, turning her normal outfit into the Samurai Ranger Fire outfit. Lauren is an expert swordsman and can use magic (mostly fire magic) by writing the Kanji words with her Samuraizer.

Her weapon is her Spin Sword, a katana that has magic properties depending on what Disc attached to the hilt. If she attaches the Power Disc and spins it, the blade of the Spin Sword becomes engulfed in fire. If she attaches the Lion Disc and spins it, it transforms into the Fire Smasher. The Fire Smasher makes the Spin Sword grow into a zanbato, a two handed sword with a blade that is as big as herself. If she attaches the Black Box to her Spin Sword, she becomes Super Samurai Ranger Fire. Super Samurai Fire makes her even stronger than her base Samurai Fire form.

Appearance: When unmorphed, Lauren usually wears a white long sleeve shirt with red stripes on it, black leggings, tan boots, black and white striped fingerless gloves that reach above her elbows, and cut jean booty shorts. She also has a blonde ponytail and dark blue eyes. When she morphs into her Samurai Ranger Fire outfit, Lauren wears a short red robe made out of a spandex-like metal that contains her clan symbol over her left breast. She also wears shin high red boots and black spandex tights. When she becomes Super Samurai Ranger Fire, she wears a long white coat with the Shiba crest on the back and over the left breast. Her gloves cover her forearms she has a katana sword that hangs from her golden belt. Her belt buckle contains elemental discs that she can put on her sword to make it stronger. She has a red helmet that covers her whole head like a motorcycle helmet and it has a black 火 covering the face as a visor.
