P
Power Rangers: Before going into specific seasons, the series has developed its own patterns for personalities that each Ranger has:
| The Hero: Red Oni | Red Ranger |
| Blue Oni | Blue Ranger |
| The Cool Guy | Black Ranger |
| Plucky Comic Relief | Green Ranger |
| Tomboy | Yellow Ranger |
| Girly Girl | Pink Ranger |
- Note: Teams rarely have both Black and Green Rangers; so the Cool Guy and Comic Relief character traits may be shuffled between them and the resident Blue Ranger.
