Debra Pruitt

Debra Pruitt aka Mrs. Pruitt is the school guidance counselor at Angel Grove High School and an exclusive character to the Boom! Studios Power Rangers comics.

History
Debra first appeared in Issue 17, having Zack sent to her office by his teacher Mr. Todd for underperformance in school and falling asleep in class. She believes it involves some problems with the teen and wants to help him, as Zack is a bright student and capable of making the qualifications for entering college. Zack opens up a little, omitting his Power Ranger activities directly but saying that he and his friends feel overwhelmed as life is a ceaseless onslaught of problems. She interprets this as him having the weight of the world on his shoulders and says he isn't the only teenager to have that problem, but tries to cheer him up by saying summer vacation is coming soon so he won't have to worry about school pressures. Zack sarcastically responds that summer will be super relaxing, implying that isn't the advice he was hoping for.

In the next issue, Trini makes a surprise visit to her office, something Mrs. Pruitt did not expect since Trini is usually such a well adjusted student. At first, she thinks its about a boy, having been a teenage girl herself she suspects Trini is having romantic issues. Trini blushes and denies this

Personality
A young woman in her early thirties, Mrs. Pruitt is a kind and caring person who tries to help the youths of Angel Grove find their way through their lives and hardships in school. When the Rangers come to her for guidance on personal issues, they usually omit their activities as heroes and try to find a roundabout way of describing their problems to her, which sometimes leads to misunderstandings of the problems as normal teen issues from her perspective. A portrait on the wall of her office shows she loves dogs, as she owns a German Shepard.
