Etymology
Raptor: In modern usage, "raptor" refers to birds of prey, such as eagles, hawks, and falcons. These creatures are characterized by their sharp talons, keen eyesight, and predatory nature, making the term synonymous with speed, agility, and power. Popularized in modern times by "Velociraptor," a genus of dromaeosaurid dinosaurs, often associated with intelligence, ferocity, and agility due to their portrayal in media like Jurassic Park.
Notes
Of the 88 modern constellations, she represents Aquila, "The Eagle"
Washi Pink is the first Female Sentai Ranger to have an Eagle as part of her motif.
Her numerical designation is not random: in Goroawase, "283" can be read as either tsu-ba-sa (つばさ(翼),tsu-ba-sa), which means wing, or ha-ya-mi (はやみ(早見),ha-ya-mi), which means "quickly seen/seeing".
Raptor is the first non-humanoid pink ranger.
During the stage show, Raptor does Luka Millfy's pose as well as uttering Luka's catchphrase "Shut up, fool!" in Luka's voice. This is an allusion to the fact that both Raptor and Luka are potrayed by the same actress.
According to the "Uchu Sentai Kyuranger Photobook All Star Chart", Raptor's age is 25 and her birthday is February 8th, making her born one week after her voice actress.
