Toxica is Jindrax's partner and best friend, and possibly love interest, a Duke Org and the Mistress of Magic. She is a former antagonist of Power Rangers Wild Force.
Biography[]
She is a Duke Org, the "Duchess of Orgs" and the "Mistress of Magic". She can resurrect fallen Orgs and cause them to grow by reciting the spell "Evil spirits of toil and strife, give this fallen Org new life" and firing some magic beans from her staff, which grow into vines that entangle and reform the fallen Org.
Alongside her fellow Duke-ranked Org and eventual lover Jindrax, Toxica served Ancient Master Org during the war against Animaria and entire humanity 3000 years ago. Unfortunately, their leader's downfall at hands of Merrick who utilized the power of Predazord via. the legendary cursed wolf mask (the same mask which revealed to be the prison in which Zen-Aku's spirit was sealed) saw their kind being subsequently hunted down and either sealed away or destroyed, forcing the duo to escape and masquerade as humans to evade the same fate.
For the next centuries, Toxica and Jindrax lived incognito among humanity and apparently took up several jobs to make a living. Among such jobs being implied founders of a delivery company called Org Express which had its own official credit card and more recently, members of Turtledyne Laboratories' branch of Turtle Cove's animal control agency. The benefit of latter occupation was chance of tormenting animals like they used to do in the past.
Despite content with their current lives, it became apparent they missed old days badly, something which brought up by a bad day in which animals they recently captured for Turtledyne Laboratories got escaped thanks to future Red Wild Force Ranger Cole Evans who recently arrived at the town. A glimmer of hope appeared in form of Turbine Org flying above the lab, much to their delight as the sighting marked the return of Master Org and the rest of their kind, that they ditched their disguises and set out to rejoin the renewed war against humanity.
From there, Toxica and Jindrax joined the revived Master Org upon meeting him at their old stronghold Nexus and struggled to gain his favor by assuming support role for every Org commanders he deployed against Wild Force Rangers, successors of five elite Animarian warriors who empowered by Morphin Grid to no avail. Despite living among humans for a long time, their skills were as sharp as ever, posing a challenge to the Rangers.
Yet, things aren't quite right for the duo as in the middle of their struggle, Toxica was bothered by human scent she caught every time Master Org was around. The issue bothered her so much that, following Nayzor's defeat at hands of Merrick, the former host of Zen-Aku who recently became Lunar Wolf Ranger, she salvaged the fallen Org general's crown and using its latent power to assume an empowered state. Dubbing her new form as Necronomica, she posed as a new Org General to prove herself by facing the Rangers on her own. Satisfied by her newfound power, Necronomica maintained her facade until the power up became undone upon being defeated while assisting Jindrax and Karaoke Org in the next confrontation. It took Jindrax's intervention Toxica didn't punished by Master Org for her deception.
After dispatching Signal Org against Rangers to no avail, Toxica and Jindrax searched Master Org's chamber in Nexus, finding human paraphernalia and a photo of Cole's parents alongside baby Cole and Viktor Adler — latter whom disturbingly resembled the current Master Org. Just then, Master Org showed up and berated them for entering his chamber. Toxica defiantly blasted Master Org with her magic, knocking his helmet in process and revealed him to be Viktor Adler himself, much to Jindrax's shock. Enraged, Viktor ensnared them with summoned vines and brainwashed the duo into more powerful yet subservient state as punishment for their mounting failures and discovering his secrets.
As Super Toxica and Super Jindrax, they continued working for Master Org until Cole, using the power of Animarium Armor, defeated the duo and revived Nayzor. Regaining their free will at the cost of power boost from brainwashing, Toxica and Jindrax set out to free a powerful Org who meant to be Master Org's proper successor, Mandilok. With Mandilok on their side, they sacked Viktor Adler with the new Org sent the imposter falling to his death. Unfortunately for them, Mandilok proved to be a poor choice of successor and worse, they ensured Ancient Master Org's revival through Viktor Adler at the cost of corrupted by the man's evil.
Toxica has also shown how much Jindrax means to her in "Team Carnival", when he eats beans from her magical staff, in an attempt to help his brother Juggelo to defeat the Power Rangers. Toxica tries to stop him, saying he would stay big forever if he grew. Jindrax, however, ate the magical beans anyway, immediately after which, Toxica protested, fearing she was going to lose her best friend. Toxica took Juggelo's place in Team Carnival after his destruction by the Power Rangers, as well as reassuring Jindrax that they were and always will be a team..
During a mission to infiltrate the Animarium with Jindrax and Duke Org Onikage, Toxica touched the sacred water, causing her immense pain. This ended up revealing their presence on the Animarium, and worsening the already fragile trust between her and Mandilok. Onikage tricked her into cutting off her horn, telling her that it would grow back and that without it, she would be immune to the painful effects of the sacred water. While she was saved from the effects of the water and she managed to kidnap Princess Shayla from the Animarium, Mandilok revealed that her horn would not grow back, and the loss of it was weakening her to the point of near-death. When the Rangers tried to destroy Mandilok with the Jungle Blaster, he grabbed Toxica from the ground and used her as a shield. The blast hit her back, causing her to scream out in pain as she quickly died. Jindrax was incredibly devastated by her death, as she was the only friend he had.
Toxica wouldn't stay gone too long, however. Using a magic mirror, Jindrax later receives a message from his partner from the Spirit World, where defeated Orgs rest, saying that the power that sent her there could bring her back as well. After realizing that the Power Rangers' Jungle Blaster was the power that originally ended her life, Jindrax, forcibly, helps the Rangers destroy a new Org, which allowed the Rangers to fire their Jungle Blaster again, which Jindrax quickly intercepted with Toxica's horn, which powered it up enough for Jindrax to then fish Toxica out of the Spirit World. Jindrax was incredibly happy at the resurrection of his best friend.
When Toxica learned Princess Shayla was still being held captive, she knew that Master Org was planning to power himself up and decided she and Jindrax would need to help the Rangers rescue her since if Master Org succeeded he would eventually catch up with them. Revealing themselves, Jindrax and Toxica convinced the skeptic Rangers to let them help rescue Princess Shayla. While the Rangers kept the resurrected General Orgs busy, Toxica and Jindrax snuck into the Nexus and managed to help Shayla escape. Afterwards, with no more loyalty to the Org's philosophy, Toxica and Jindrax left to travel the world and find themselves.
Personality[]
Toxica is at first shown as a scheming, cruel and competent minion of the Master Org, seeking to earn his approval by helping him destroy humanity. However, when the "Master Org" shows signs of being an impostor she doesn't hesitate to investigate and expose him, getting brainwashed for her troubles.
After the defeat of Nayzor and helping the General Org Mandilok overthrow the fake Master Org she became desperate to please her new master so as to make up for having served the whims of a human in disguise, but became blind to the harm her blind loyalty was causing to Jindrax and to herself, ending in her sanity and self-esteem hitting rock bottom upon being one-upped by the Duke Org, Onikage before dying with the horrified realization of how pointless her loyalty was when Mandilok used her as a meat shield.
After Jindrax resurrected her she mellowed out and had an epiphany on the errors of her ways choosing to redeem herself and make a new life for herself and Jindrax away from the Orgs that abused them; then when she heard the Master Org returned for real she doubtlessly aided the Rangers in saving Princess Shayla from his clutches before the Nexus collapsed and personally declared the Org-Human War to have ended on her and Jindrax's terms of giving up the fight as the only major Orgs left. Upon departing she claimed rather jokingly that she wouldn't get used to being good for long.
Appearance[]
More human then many of her fellow Orgs, a blood red horn jutted out of her skull, which was otherwise covered by flowing black hair with purple highlights which she typically covered with a turban-like blue-black helmet. She wore purple make-up on her face. A thin black veil covered her mouth; she wore blue-black body armor on her upper body and a long dress. She filed her fingernails sharp and painted them blue to match her outfit. During the infiltration of the Animarium, Toxica donned an all black skin tight suit, helping her to blend into the dark jungle surroundings.
As Necronomica, she became a green/white general Org with a single horn green and white and two fan-shaped protrusions each side of her head with pendants on the ends. She had two red, glowing eyes with a black gem sitting between, a wide grim halved with a stained glass-like pattern. She was wearing a green dress with two pointy shoulder plates and a long cape, wielding a short, bud staff.
As Super Toxica, her original outfit gained a black armor, slightly similar to her Necronomica form, although pitch-black and more fanged.

Trivia[]
- The name "Toxica" is probably derived from the word "toxic", meaning poisonous.
- In the original script, there was supposed to be a reveal that Jindrax and Toxica were the parents of Cole Evans mutated by the Master Org and that they would have been cured in the finale. However, this was mostly a "backup" narrative plot point in case the censors at Saban thought the death of Cole's parents was too dark of a plot point, and the idea was fully abandoned upon the switch to Disney.
