What is the work?
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is a very popular superhero TV series that aired on Fox Kids. It is about the titular superhero team which were hired to defeat the evil witch Rita Repulsa.

Who is she?
Kimberly Ann Hart was the Pink Ranger of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. She was also the former love interest of the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, Jason Lee Scott.

Why she does not qualify
In the TV shows, we didn't see anything corrupting about her, other than her possible selfishness (or arrogance).

In Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, her character development is too slow and reluctant. She was also possesed to fight for evil, much like Sophitia. But unlike Tommy, the aftermath makes her somewhat corrupted. Besides, she fails the in-story goodness standard. The full story shows below:

She and Jason were scuba diving when they were captured by sea pirate Divatox, with no explanation of their experience from the Pan-Global Games. They were subsequently trapped on Divatox's ship and were going to be sacrificed to his henchspirit, Maligore the evil flame. They attempted to escape with their inmates, but her shirt is stuck to one of the bolts. Jason sacrificed himself to get her unstuck and will later remain in Divatox's ship. Kimberly was later stranded on Muiranthias but the Malachians find and apprehend her.

When the time of sacrifice came, they were strapped next to each other before they were lowered into the volcano. The Turbo Rangers luckily came to rescue but to no effort. However, they came out of the volcano being possesed by Maligore. Kimberly attacks the Green and Yellow Turbo Rangers then plans to attack her heir, Kat, the Turbo Pink Ranger, despite the Turbo Ranger not wanting to be corrupted. Tommy takes of his helmet to meet Kimberly. When Kat says that they were friends, the possesed Jason attacks both Kat and Tommy while Kimberly manically laughs and also tells the Turbo Pink Ranger "pink is out". While Tommy was nearly thrown into the pit, Kimberly sadistically commands Jason to do it.

Lerigot and Lara had watched the situation and after noticing Kimberly encouraging Jason to throw Tommy "into the fire", the Liarians used their magic on Kimberly and as she snapped out of her. After Tommy accidentally caused Jason to fall over the edge, Kimberly ran to Tommy's side to help Jason back out of the flames, while he later snapped out of Maligore.

Final verdict
Sounds like a Pure Good, but fails the goodness standards. Cut.
