and Adam Park
. The trio attempt to rescue their teacher's baby as its carriage rolls down a hillside. Aisha and Kimberly Hart
reach the carriage together, providing the first meeting of the future teammates. Aisha, along with Adam and Rocky, are in Angel Grove to participate in a ninja contest; using this knowledge, Lord Zedd

When Jason Lee Scott
, Zack Taylor
and Trini Kwan
were selected to attend a Peace Conference in Switzerland, the team travels to a distant planet to retrieve the Sword of Power, which would allow the transfer of power from the departing teens to Rocky, Adam and Aisha. Aisha became the Yellow Power Ranger, entrusted with the Saber-Toothed Tiger Power Coin and the Griffin Thunderzord. The new Rangers subsequently transferred to Angel Grove High School, where a student named Sabrina tried to strike up a relationship with Adam while acting hostile toward Aisha. Aisha's distrust of Sabrina pays off when she reveals herself as Scorpina, capturing the two until the other Rangers intervene.
Aisha and Kimberly soon became best friends, shopping together every day. Aisha's previous best friend from Stone Canyon, Shawna, visited Aisha on at least one occasion and showed jealousy toward Aisha's new friendship with Kimberly, but the three girls settled their differences with each other and all became friends, with Aisha rescuing Kimberly and Shawna when captured by Goldar. Aisha was also selected to be a Fire Safety Captain during Angel Grove High's Fire Safety Week. Aisha took the job so seriously that it began to harm her friendship with the other Rangers; after defeating a fire-based monster, Flame Head, Aisha apologized for her overzealous behavior.
In Season 3 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Aisha is one of the five Rangers who travels to the planet Edenoi to help Prince Dex, the Masked Rider. When Rito Revolto successfully destroys the Thunderzords, Aisha and the other Rangers travel to the Desert of Despair to receive new powers from the creator of the Power Coins, Ninjor; Aisha becomes the Yellow Ninja Ranger, possessing the spirit of the bear and gaining the Yellow Bear Ninjazord. Later, when Kimberly learns that her mother was relocating to France, Aisha and her family allow Kimberly to live with them for the rest of the school year.
Kimberly and Aisha's friendship was tested when Kimberly was accepted into the Angel Girls Club, led by a snooty classmate named Veronica, and Aisha wasn't. At around the same time, a new monster named the Hate Master used a hate spell to turn the rest of the Rangers against each other. Aisha's compassionate and loving nature, along with a charm necklace that her grandmother had given her, protected Aisha from the hate spell. Aisha uses her resourcefulness to save the Command Center from the other Rangers and undo the hate spell, at which point the Hate Master was defeated. Aisha then learned that she was rejected from the Angel Girls Club because her middle class family did not make enough money; however, Veronica was ejected from the club, allowing both Kimberly and Aisha to join.
Aisha's caring nature also extended to animals, as she became a volunteer veterinary assistant as Angel Grove's local animal shelter. While volunteering, she takes in a stray white cat from the park, who is secretly Katherine Hillard
in disguise. She and Kimberly adopt the cat, who Aisha dubs "P.C." for "Park Cat." After Katherine takes control of the Falconzord, the Rangers seek the ancient Shogunzords and Aisha controls the Yellow Shogunzord. When Kimberly leaves to train for the Pan Global Games in Florida, Aisha is saddened but soon becomes friends with Katherine. Together, the girls train Katherine's aunt's chimp, Kelly, in sign language and write the winning song entry for a theme song contest at Angel Grove High. However, Aisha is reverted to her child form with the other Rangers when Master Vile reverts time.
