Kendrix Morgan was introduced as a science officer aboard the space station Terra Venture. She was one of the six people to travel through the spatial rift to Mirinoi in the first episode, and she drew a Quasar Saber that allowed her to transform into the Pink Galaxy Ranger.
Highly intelligent and analytical by nature, Kendrix has an interest in all things scientific. She always has a logical explanation for everything, and that sometimes prevents her from seeing the wonder that's around her. Her blossoming friendship with free-spirited Leo teaches her to be more fun loving and spontaneous.
Kendrix is notable among Power Rangers characters in that she is the only female Power Ranger to wear glasses, and she was the first Power Ranger who has ever been killed on-screen, sacrificing herself to save Terra Venture and one of the Space Rangers, Cassie. Other characters had been written out of the show on several occasions, but she was the first to die (although no one on the show ever directly stated that fact). However, she was not the first major character to die in Power Rangers - Zordon had died in the finale of the previous season Power Rangers in Space, and the positive response from that sacrifice may have encouraged writers to make an even more important character die likewise. Another viable reason for having Kendrix die is that the actress portraying her, Valerie Vernon, was diagnosed with leukemia, thus forcing her to leave the show mid-way through. However, she later returned for the season finale and the subsequent team-up episodes with Lightspeed Rescue.
When Karone was thrown off a cliff by Trakeena, Kendrix appeared as a spirit (in her Ranger form) and passed on her morpher (and with it her powers) to Karone, who promptly retrieved the Quasar Saber from Trakeena and helped save the rest of the rangers. When the Quasar Sabers were returned to Mirinoi in the finale, Kendrix was restored to life by unknown means even though Karone is seen placing the Saber back into the stone.

Famous quotes containing the word morgan:
“The best protection parents can have against the nightmare of a daycare arrangement where someone might hurt their child is to choose a place that encourages parents to drop in at any time and that facilitates communication among parents using the program. If parents are free to drop in and if they exercise this right, it is not likely that adults in that place are behaving in ways that harm children.”
—Gwen Morgan (20th century)
