Agura Ibaden (voiced by Kathleen Barr) is a member of the Battle Force 5 and formerly a huntress from Africa. She’s the only female member of the team.
History[]
Hailing from Africa, Agura is a strong huntress. After leaving her home to go to an off-road race, she finds herself in a small town out in the Salt Flats. Meeting new friends, Agura then becomes the huntress for the Battle Force 5.
Personality[]
Agura is a tomboy and one of the three 'mature' members of the Battle Force 5. She likes a challenge, especially when it comes to off-roading. Agura also displays some leadership skills, as shown when she takes control of the team when Vert got trapped on the Vandal planet in "Behind Enemy Lines". But do not call Agura weak or helpless, this is her biggest pet peeve.
Appearance[]
Agura is a young African girl with black hair that’s styled into dreads covered in beads and wrapped in a bun. She also has brown eyes. In her street clothes, Agura wears a green sweater with a red shirt underneath it, black green stream-lined pants, and black-red sneakers.
When in her Battle Force 5 uniform, Agura wears a green shock suit with a Hunter Sentient symbol. When the Tangler ATV is fused with another vehicle, her suit becomes white with green accents.
Vehicle[]
Agura’s vehicle is the Tangler ATV (or just the Tangler). An All-Terrain Vehicle with limbs for grabbing things and climbing up rough terrain and vertical surfaces. It can fire grappling cables and has grinding blades upfront, it can also turn its wheels into claws for fighting or climbing and has small retractable blades in them.
The Tangler ATV is used for the combination, SmashClaw in which the Buster Tank's armour is added to it's all-terrain capabilities.
Relationships[]
Even though Spinner has gotten on Agura's nerves early on, they have developed a good friendship over time.
Agura has shown that she can trust Vert and has helped him out of a few tight scrapes. The two can sometimes be seen together, and Agura usually helps Vert keep the rest of the Battle Force 5 in line.
Agura and Stanford often argue with each other due to the latter’s arrogance and disregard for others. Though following the episode, "Cold as Ice", the two have gotten on better terms. Despite this, they still clash.
The two tend to pick petty fights due to clashing interests, but they love a good challenge, and Agura liked his teasing toward Stanford when they were in the Ice Battle Zone.
Agura and Zoom share an older sister/younger brother-like relationship, in which she’s the silent watcher of him and Vert playing together. Agura really cares about Zoom as seen in "Man Down".
Theme Color[]
The Tangler's color, Agura's suit, and some of her street clothing are green.
Green sometimes represents nature and the enviroment. Given Agura's roots, this can connect with her birthplace, Africa. It also means vigor, given her style of fighting and personality. Green and red are complimentary colors, so it’s likely that she and Vert connect with one another.
Trivia[]
- As mentioned in "The Blue Tide", Agura has five brothers, so she’s more than capable of handling the Cortez brothers' antics.
- As mentioned in "Gladiators", one of Agura's brothers has a three-year-old son, therefore, making him her nephew.
- Agura's theme color was originally going to be yellow, but was later changed to green, as shown in concept art.
