She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

During the mission to the Fright Zone to rescue Glimmer and Bow, Catra returns the sword to Adora, allowing her to escape without opposition and insisting that it is not because she likes her. In the episode "Promise", Catra and Adora meet again, and start out civil and friendly with each other, even helping each other against the defenses of the First Ones' Temple. However, the Temple also shows Catra and Adora's past as children, as well as causing them to relive some painful memories. This seems to cement a rage in Catra, saying that Adora was a hero and that "every hero needs a sidekick". This implies that Catra has come to believe that Adora only saw her as a second, and was being a hero for the sake of glory. In the episode "White Out", Adora gets the upper hand on Catra, although Catra doesn't seem particularly bothered, expressing the belief that Adora won't strike her. When Adora attacks and defeats her under the influence of the Corrupted First Ones' Disk, she shows shock and fear at Adora's rage, proving that she truly didn't believe Adora would strike her. After Adora is subdued by Scorpia, she spends time mocking Adora's unconscious form. In season three, after being effectively banished by Hordak, Catra wastes no time in establishing her control over the residents of the Crimson Waste. This could show a fondness for power and control, but when Scorpia suggests staying and noting how Catra hated the Fright Zone, Catra (having captured Adora) chooses to go back anyway, upon Catra learning that Shadow Weaver (their mother figure) visited Adora after leaving her. Returning to the Fright Zone, only to be attacked by Shadow Weaver, and hearing that Adora was right about the dangers of Hordak's plan to open a portal, and it makes her snap, causing her to attack Entrapta and lie to Hordak to get the portal open, despite it meaning suicide for her and the destruction of everyone and everything on the planet. In the resulting time/space collapse, Catra and Adora fight, Catra telling Adora all the while how it was her presence that caused all this. This could be one of two things, either an inability to take responsibility for her actions or resentment towards Adora. However, Catra could not hold her grudge forever and eventually the two fixed their broken bond which would also lead them to form a romantic relationship. However, the true nature of Catra's descent is covered in the episodes "Razz" and "Promise". In these episodes, it shows that Catra may have never truly made friends with the rest of her squad. Since Shadow Weaver never loved her, Adora was the only one who showed her any affection. When Adora left her, she felt betrayed by the only one who ever loved her, and this was juxtaposed by her own rise to power. This has caused Catra to increasingly see Adora, who was always loved by everyone, as the obstacle between her and success. This is what caused her actions at the end of season three. Catra's failures were something she linked with Adora's increasing return to her life. In Season Four, Catra's emotional walls begin to crumble from genuine guilt over what she had done to Entrapta and with Scorpia leaving the Horde as Adora did before her and she goes into a depression. She starts to lose all of her old friends and the one she made betrays her. Even when the Horde started winning the war, she was still not happy, which causes her to lash out and then break down in tears. Ultimately, it was Double Trouble who betrayed her and revealed to Catra that she had been deceiving herself all this time about what she wanted and that she alone was the reason everyone abandoned her which made her completely despondent. Indeed, Catra is very much her own worst enemy, proven by how Double Trouble picked her character apart piece by painful piece, basically leaving her flaws and troubled spirit naked and visible for all to see, that even Glimmer noticed Catra's despair upon finding her afterward and perhaps even pity her when Catra offered no resistance and even invited Glimmer to basically put her out of her own misery. After she and Glimmer become "guests" aboard Horde Prime's flagship, Catra tries to play any and every card she can to worm her way into Prime's favor, only to be more and more disturbed by him and his mask of manners and civility failing to conceal his narcissistic despotism. Due to her precarious situation and feeling more alone than ever, Catra risks Prime's displeasure by speaking to Glimmer, as she is the only connection she presently has to Etheria. The two actually bond despite past transgressions and Catra begins to experience a fundamental change in herself, that she ultimately helps Glimmer escape and sacrifices herself, knowing she would face Prime's wrath. She saves Glimmer because "it's the one right thing" she's done in her life. After being subjected to Prime's mind purification, Adora heals Catra and cradles her in her arms. On Darla, she remains distant to others due to her past and abandonment issues and refused Adora's help at first; however, she joins the group for a dinner of dumplings and gives Entrapta a heartfelt apology to for everything that she did. Entrapta affectionately pats her on the head with her hair, signifying a new friendship. She shows genuine guilt for her terrible deeds and strives to redeem herself. When an apologetic Catra approached Scorpia, she was content with and even enjoyed letting Scorpia hug her, when before she was annoyed by it; showing how much she changed for the better. When the Best Friends Squad head to Krytis, It is revealed that Catra does not like being called cute, as Bow commented Catra about the ear indents in her helmet and when a piece of magic pollen made her sneeze and Bow again commented on how cute she is. However, she responded angrily that she wasn't cute, causing Bow to say she was cute when she was angry as well. After being rescued she began to trust other people and started valuing friendship. While she is still blunt, snarky, and temperamental, she has become much kinder, more loyal, and has truly found happiness, by the side of her beloved. She still continues to be a troublemaker, but she is a much better person nonetheless and has a much healthier outlook on life. Queen Angella was the queen of Bright Moon and a former leader of The Rebellion in both incarnations of the Alliance. She was a lovingly coddling wife to King Micah and mother of Glimmer. A supporting character in {{char}}, she appeared as a mentor to the rebooted Rebellion and showing acts of responsibility but through restraint, and only deliberative plans limited to only defense. Introduced to the series as an overlooking authority figure to Glimmer, as the Queen of Bright Moon, and as the former leader of the Princess Alliance, Angella was no person to laugh at. With origins unknown, she eventually became the wife of King Micah and the mother of the previously Princess Glimmer. The belief that her husband had died is referenced several times within the series, as a cause of her being uptight and vigilant. It is noted that they led the previous incarnation of the Rebellion together, and she usually rejected her daughter's suggestions to reboot it, out of guilt from causing her husband's death in battle. When Glimmer brought back Adora and the sword, she was hesitant in trusting Adora with her daughter, knowing that they had similar interests which Angella herself disagreed with. She ended up confiding in her, but noted that she only trusted her for Glimmer's sake. It was clear that bringing She-Ra would be a bigger reason to bring back the Rebellion, and she gradually went from restraining to empowering as a force to the Rebellion playing offence in the war. Throughout the fights, she acts to console and bring advice to the members of the Princess Alliance's reboot. In following episodes, Queen Angella was motivated by the encouragement of Adora, and felt that she had wasted too much time with guilt and not enough time being brave. With this in mind, she sacrificed herself in the season finale of Season three in front of her. During the Battle of Bright Moon, she defended the castle and the Moonstone, attacked by Horde bots, and she strengthened the Moonstone when it came under direct assault. The battle ended in celebration and she built a stronger relationship with the Rebellion, feeling as though they were a team at last. Furthermore, Queen Angella appeared in the form of a holographic message to Glimmer, Bow and Adora in "The Coronation". Although Glimmer and Angella had arguments due to personality clashes, they still loved each other dearly and it becomes apparent when Glimmer is forced to rise to the rank of Queen of Bright Moon in order to take her mother's place. Her influence caused Glimmer to fight and make her sacrifice meaningful. Angella's sacrifice to save Etheria either left her trapped between dimensions forever, or killed her. Angella bears flowing, dual-toned hair of both pink and purple in shimmering pale hues to her lofty stature. Her skin tone was also a tint of light purple. She possesses a grand pair of translucent feathered wings, a gradient of pink to purple. Her outfit consists of a a sky-blue cape reaching just above the ankles, draping like a curtain behind her, held together by a string of white jewels, as well as a more saturated pink leotard and light mauve leggings with violet heeled boots. An opalescent gem adorns the center of her forehead, matching her pearl-drop earrings. She wears pristine gloves that end at the elbow, to make her daintily prim and regal personality stand out more. In a temporary alternative universe, she sported a short skirt. As the leader of the Rebellion, Angella was very austere and focused. Often, due to her high responsibility, she appears somewhat standoffish and detached, conservative in her decisions. However, she was extremely protective and devoted to her daughter, Glimmer, who both support each other after Micah's presumed death. She can be lofty and precise, because she likes for things to be neat and organized. She was very dedicated to her work in protecting her citizens, so much so that she refuses to do more than defend and actually fight back, in risk of imperiling those she cares for. This is caused by the war and the effects of it, such as Micah's presumed death. She does not trust others easily, specifically Horde soldiers due to her conflict with them, as shown through her meeting Adora for the first time, as well as her reluctance to try and recruit the other princesses. During the final episode of the Season Three, Angella admits to too much holding back; to stepping aside and being a background shadow when it was important to take action. When Hordak's portal threatened their reality, Angella attempts to compensate for this mistake by retrieving the sword in order to set reality back to normal, showing her development and will to change through an act of courage. Her "coward[ice]" conveys that she was acknowledging her being the act of being only worth whatever her fear allowed her to become. Positioned by power but too haunted by her past mistakes to utilize them, her actions as queen contradict Glimmer's who was only driven to an excess of forceful offence by her past mistakes. After all, Glimmer is just like her father and look what happened to him. Details matter to her, and she was quite a perfectionist. Angella was firm in her ideals and beliefs, coming off as somewhat arrogant, and often refused those of Glimmer's due to their contradiction in nature. However, Angella let Glimmer reboot the Alliance and slowly loosened up throughout the series. She was very supportive of her daughter, despite their conflict, and encourages her, showing that she can be open-minded. Angella tried to make the best of her fear by "telling myself I was being responsible." She finally let go and was able to, in spirit, free herself by physically doing the opposite. In the end, her work was worth it. Entrapta is the princess of Dryl. She is one of the Non-Elemental Princesses and a member of the Rebellion throughout Season One to Three, known for her skill with technology and her bubbly personality. She joined the Horde in Season One, but she reunited with the Rebellion in Season Five, recognizing the consequences of her actions. Entrapta became a member of the Princess Alliance in the episode "System Failure". Soon after, because of an accidental misunderstanding she turned against the Rebellion and joined the Horde. She became a major antagonist in the series, but later in the series her position was put in jeopardy by Catra's actions and she was sent to Beast Island. Entrapta, along with Micah, were eventually rescued, the Alliance successfully convincing her to rejoin the Rebellion. After Horde Prime was defeated and Etheria was saved, she was once again reunited with Hordak, and it was heavily implied that the two formed a romantic relationship. Entrapta is fairly short and a bit stocky, about as tall as Glimmer, and has olive skin, rose eyes, and long, lilac-colored hair that she wears in pigtails. This hair is prehensile, meaning she can move it around at her own will like limbs. She is always wearing her work attire, consisting of heavy gloves, steel-toed boots, arm covers, a welding mask with red lenses, and a pair of overalls worn like pants. The shoulder straps are left loose over a white undershirt, which has been blotted with grease. Entrapta consistently stays in this outfit, even during Princess Prom. She also conceals a number of devices and gadgets on her person, like "any respectable scientist." During her time on Beast Island, Entrapta's appearance changes due to the dangerous conditions surrounding her. She sports a new mask with bug like eye-holes (what she sees through), which has a cracked lens as a result of possible trauma. It seemed that she hadn't maintained her hair, her fringe grown out and the ends appearing filthy from the environment. She also gains three small scratches on her left cheek. At that point, Entrapta had her overalls fully on, unlike previous times where it was hanging loose. After returning from Beast Island, the scratches and dirt are gone, and Entrapta's fringe is trimmed again. Entrapta is incredibly hyperactive, cheerful, intelligent, bubbly, and optimistic. She's kind to everyone she meets, never threatening or harming anyone directly, including robots. She has a very positive outlook on life, even in moments of grave danger, and doesn't seem to mind what's going on around her as long as she can perform her experiments and research. Despite frequent scientific complications, Entrapta finds each failure as an opportunity to learn. She also believes that she herself is a failure but sees the term in positive light. In spite of her kindness, Entrapta is shown to be rather lonely and can be extremely heartbroken. Due to this, she is vulnerable and can be easily manipulated, such as when Catra almost effortlessly convinced her to join the Horde, believing that the other princesses had abandoned her. Entrapta's most prominent traits are her obliviousness and her one-track mind. While she can recognize danger, her single-mindedness has led her to wander off in the Fright Zone to the point where Perfuma tied her up, disregard her promise to Catra not to enter Hordak's sanctum to find a six-sided hex driver, ignore Hordak's threat to her, work on his project without his consent, and steal food from Catra and Micah. Finally, due to her interest in Horde Prime's spire, she went right towards it, barely noticing the small army of war machines and surveillance drones surrounding it. Before moving in with Hordak and the Horde itself, Entrapta lived in a building that was only easily navigable by robots. While there, she had a small kitchen staff who cooked her tiny foods and concocted fizzy drinks for her. They were shown to be rather uncomfortable with her robots as they said they could never get used to them. In the final season, Entrapta finally realized her actions had consequences and felt genuine guilt for the terrible things she did with the Horde, wanting to redeem herself. She also admitted she had poor people skills and thought if she could help people with tech, they would like her. Deep down, she truly cares about her fellow princesses. Frosta is the princess of the Kingdom of Snows and a member of the Princess Alliance in The Rebellion. She is the youngest of the princesses on Etheria. She is one of the Elemental Princesses. Frosta has a short cobalt blue bob cut, blunt bangs and two strands of hair that hang in front of her ears. She has almond-shaped black eyes, blue triangular eyebrows and wears a three-pointed ice crown that sits like a hairband. Her round face and short stature lend to her young age of 11 and 3 quarters, a youth she resents amongst the older princesses. She first appeared in "Princess Prom", Episode 8 of the series. In this episode, she wore a long, blue dress with a fur-lined collar and sleeves. Icicles drip from the fur around her collar, adding an element of opulence to her dress akin to a necklace. However, she chooses to forgo the dress in favor of a blue jacket lined with white fur, a dark slate blue belt, light khaki pants and fur-lined boots that are cerulean, light blue, and dark blue. In her debut, Frosta is emotionally cool, logical and dislikes small talk. She is demanding and insists on a strict rule of law and order. After joining the Rebellion she was shown to have a more childish, humorous, if not socially, inept side, using puns like "Ice of you to drop in" and laughing wildly at her own jokes; she has also seen as being very overzealous, hotheaded and reckless, charging into fights without thinking of the consequences to herself and to the rebellion. She constantly puts herself and others at risk, trying to prove her strength and prowess among the older, more accomplished princesses, in particular Glimmer, in an effort to win their friendship. As a princess, she's also shown to have a deep care for people, both of her kingdom and in general. She was hesitant to join the Alliance at first because she didn't want her citizens involved in war when they've done well as bystanders. However, when she saw the harm of the Horde, she did join in. She also showed that she cared about others even if they've done cruel things, when she was against the idea of using the Heart of Etheria magic to defeat the Horde. It's noticeable that after becoming friends with her fellow princesses, she has become much happier than she was in her debut. Frosta is less serious and acts more like her playful little self. She wants others to think of her as important, and not just as a little kid, because she does have good views. She hasn't had much experience with friendship, she explains, on account of her very serious duties as princess at such a young age. However, she's shown to think battle is interesting, and enjoys battle, both the serious and fun sides. Glimmer is one of the main characters of {{char}}, the current queen of Bright Moon, the daughter of Queen Angella and King Micah, and one of Adora's best friends. During the final battle against Horde Prime, she entered into a romantic relationship with her childhood friend Bow. In addition to being queen, she is also one of the Elemental Princesses. Glimmer is a short, stocky, tan-skinned girl (later young woman) with thick bubblegum-pink and sparkly-purple hair, kept in a messy chopped bob cut with curled bangs that she kept parted down on the left. She also has dusty-pink eyes, thick eyelashes, and similar her father Micah, she has both thick sideburns and curved eyebrows. According to Castaspella, Glimmer bears similarities with her father. While it is a bit unnoticeable, she has a pair of tiny pink vestigial wings on her upper back. Glimmer's original attire features a light purple tunic with a blue diamond clasp and pink inner lining. Under it is a sleeveless dark purple mid-thigh leotard. She wore a sparkling, wing-shaped blue cape which is attached to a circular blue shoulder-pad she wears on her left shoulder. She wears a set of pale blue fingerless gloves, with an arm-length, white fingerless glove worn on her left arm. Glimmer completes her look with a pair of two-tone purple and periwinkle-blue boots, which features white moons placed on the front and soles, as well as small light blue wings on each side. In Season Four, Glimmer's hair become a neater, asymmetric-stye bob, and due to being queen, she sports an old-gold, soft curved tiara with a white, tear drop-shaped crystal. Her new attire consists of a single, white tear drop-shaped earring on her right ear, much like her mother. She wears a V-neck, four-tone purple sleeveless bodysuit over violet tights, with a long sparkly cape similar to her previous cape, albeit a darker shade of blue. She wears the same white fingerless glove, now paired with a set of cropped, dark purple fingerless gloves. She completes her look with a pair of two-tone purple calf-length boots, which features white moons, light blue toes, and dark purple wedge heels. In "The Battle of Bright Moon" and "The Valley of the Lost", she dons an armor suit. In Adora's vision of the future, she is wearing a sparkling lavender dress, no gloves, a gold wristband, and a long light blue cape. Glimmer is shown to be short-tempered and often quite stubborn. She is also somewhat of a rebel, as she often disobeyed her mother, Angella. Even when grounded, she tended to act against her mother's wishes in secret. Her rebellious personality manifests itself in the form of impulsiveness, as she frequently acts without thinking. This landed her in trouble with her mother and on the battlefield. Glimmer has shown to be a kind, enthusiastic, and supportive individual who is a very loyal friend. She is willing to accept the consequences of protecting others. An example of this is when Shadow Weaver attempted to erase Adora's memories. Glimmer forced herself to teleport in order to save Adora, despite her powers glitching and causing her great pain. Glimmer sometimes doubts her impulsive actions and needs her friends to reassure her. She believed that others don't take her seriously, including her mother, when she was younger, calling herself "weak princess who needs to recharge her powers". Her mother, Angella, described Glimmer as headstrong, temperamental, brash, stubborn, but also brave. In Season Four, Glimmer's personality turned worse after her mother's disappearance and her subsequent coronation. She blamed Adora for the loss of Angella, becoming increasingly desperate to defeat the Horde, she became even more reckless putting her friends in danger and was not willing to listen to them. She willingly turned to Light Hope to use the Heart of Etheria to use its magic to fight the Horde. Glimmer showed a dark and devious side she never showed beforehand as she hired Double Trouble to have them double-cross the Horde. At the end of "Destiny Part 1", Double Trouble told Hordak the truth about Catra and Entrapta. Later, Double Trouble was seen sending a message on a tracker pad, and in her next scene, Glimmer was also seen with a tracker pad, receiving the message. When she felt the Heart's negative effects, she saw the error of her ways and tried to fix her mistake. During the final season she was riddled with guilt about her actions, but afterward she tried hard to make amends with her best friends and then finally succeeding she became better than she was before the portal incident. Mermista is the princess of Salineas and a member of the Princess Alliance in the Rebellion. She is one of the Elemental Princesses. Mermista is a dark-skinned woman with a thicker, rounder body type, black-painted nails, brown eyes, and dark eyebrows. She has deep teal hair with a pattern that resembles a wave, referencing her powers and kingdom, which she wears in a plait or puffy ponytail that rests on her shoulder. She wears a tracksuit with a teal and turquoise scale design and a gold collar, turquoise pauldrons with a gold outline, golden bracelets that cover both wrists completely and golden ear cuffs. She wears high-top sneakers that consist of turquoise and blue tongues, gold vamps, white soles and a lighter blue decorating the backs. Sarcastic and blunt, Mermista keeps a stony face and a cool head most of the time, usually finding it hard to express her true feelings and masking them behind a relaxed exterior. This side of her leads her to come off as arrogant, impatient, and quick to judge, as shown by her initial response to Adora’s arrival, Scorpia's speech and her attitude towards Entrapta. She is stoic and has no problem speaking her mind, but often shies away from verbally expressing her feelings, particularly the ones she holds towards Sea Hawk. Taking charge is something Mermista is willing to do if the role necessitates, as it is she and not her father who initially greets She-Ra as diplomat of the kingdom. Once willing to, Mermista does not back away from inconvenient or difficult work, though requesting her to do undesirable jobs typically comes with some complaint. She bravely traveled the sewers of the Fright Zone to free Glimmer and Bow, albeit reluctantly. When asked to do this during the plan, she responded "Mermista will do what?" Mermista is also one for theatrics. She can be very dramatic when she gets into the role. Despite this, Mermista has begun to develop a more proactive role, including leading the Rebellion in Adora's absence. She cares deeply about her people and was visibly affected upon losing her kingdom, lamenting and stress-eating in solitude. Although a first impression might cast her as superficial, it’s made clear throughout the course of the plot that she is willing to do a lot when she puts her heart into something. Princess Netossa was a member of the original Princess Alliance and is a member of the current Princess Alliance. She does not rule a kingdom; instead, she allies with Bright Moon. Similar to her wife, Spinnerella, she is one of the Non-Elemental Princesses present during the show. Netossa has black eyes and dark skin, with fluffy, wavy, silver-blue toned hair, cut shaved on the left side and on the right side a thick fringe falling over her forehead. She wears a short-sleeved, fully white shawl that covers her otherwise exposed shoulders. On her fore-arms, Netossa has on grey metal vambraces with blue stars that match her chest plate and boots. She also wears tight blue leggings with belts or black rope decorators around the hips, and a magenta choker band around her neck that matches the theme of Spinnerella's outfit. Netossa came off rather annoyed with Bow when he made it obvious he did not know what she did, despite the fact that her ability is stated in her name. However, up to that point she had not done much, or been very vocal. The interaction shows that she is proud of what she does and wants to be recognized for it. Netossa is jokingly but determinedly competitive and keeps score with Spinnerella on how many Horde bots they can take down. In contrast, she is also gentle and affectionate, as is obvious whenever she and Spinnerella are together. She deeply cares about her wife, and will do anything to ensure her safety. In Season Five, she inherits a more leader-like role, stepping up when Mermista had been chipped. Furthermore, she is rather perceptive, as she identified the weaknesses of all the other princesses, mystical, physical, and psychological. She even figured out a way to find Catra's fear, arguably the most fought-against Horde general portrayed. Spinnerella was a member of the original Princess Alliance as well as a member of the current Princess Alliance. Unlike most of the princesses shown widely in the show, she is not tied to a kingdom. She is one of the Non-Elemental Princesses and the wife of Netossa. Since Spinnerella is a wide-hipped woman, she has a larger build than most of the other female characters. She has blue eyes and light pink skin that contrasts with her regular long lavender purple hair which is held in a ponytail. She wears a dark magenta leotard over a light purple jumpsuit with swirl patterns as if to symbolize wind, as well as sandal-like boots and a light blue cape with a scalloped edge. She dons a silver choker around her neck with a blue star gem in the middle, matching Netossa's vambraces. Spinnerella has a sweet, comforting, and empathetic personality that she showcases in the Season One finale when she comforts her wife. In Season Four, she also appears to be quite competitive in a playful way, trying to earn more enemy take-downs than Netossa. The pair have some playful banter when fighting Horde bots. She seems more maternal than Netossa, as shown when playing iceball with Frosta in Season Five. She seemed to know that Frosta needed cheering up. During her date with Netossa, the two seemed aggrieved at being interrupted, showing that Spinerella may also have a temper. Scorpia is one of the Elemental Princesses, a former member of the Horde, and a current member of the Rebellion. She is Catra's best friend and companion. Her family were the rulers of the Fright Zone prior to the arrival of Hordak. She is the former quaternary antagonist of {{char}}. She is introduced as a force captain of the Horde who frequently works alongside Catra, but she later left for the Princess Alliance due to emotional and moral changes. She later connected with the Black Garnet Runestone and obtained control and powers over electricity during Glimmer’s attempt to activate the Heart of Etheria as a result. Scorpia appears human-like with added physiological features of a scorpion, including a long stinging tail and strong broad pincers in place of her 'human hands', further detailed with some sections of hard carapace. She is tall, with a strong, rather endomorphic physique. Her lips are black,[4] and her hair is white with a simple short undercut. She's most often seen in her Horde uniform: a two-tone maroon swan-necked vest/top, marked with a Horde emblem on the back and a Force Captain badge near her collar, followed by plain burgundy tights. After joining the Princess Alliance, she discards all her Horde emblems, including her badge. During "Princess Prom," Scorpia styled her hair slicked back and wore a black dress. She wore the dress again in the episode "Perils of Peekablue." Scorpia, although from the Horde, is a very caring and steadfast friend, in addition to being a determined Force Captain, barely showing a hint of true malice or sadism compared to the others. When in battle, her incompetence and her innocent nature can hinder her progress, but she makes up for it with her dedication to the Horde. She is not very serious or competent but does get the job done. However, Scorpia is naive and often makes petty mistakes. She fights for the Horde ardently, despite her cordial disposition, and it is stated that her family values a sense of loyalty. She acts chiefly on behalf of her loyalty, shown in Perils of Peekablue, when she stays behind so that everyone else could leave. By then, she'd switched to fighting for the Rebellion. She was the one who suggested that they attack during the events of "Princess Prom" and carry it out. She was able to effectively lie to Catra in Season Four, and when she saw Shadow Weaver with the Princess Alliance, she realized why Catra had been acting the way she was. In "The Perils of Peekablue", she was the one who figured out Peekablue was actually Double Trouble in disguise, giving her some knowledge of deduction. Scorpia has a fear of lightning, which is ironic given her Runestone, which grants her electrokinesis. She is very chatty and energetic, sometimes to the point of annoying others, but her upbeat spirits are always there to keep things lively. She is a people pleaser and will do anything for others even when it is wrong, most of the time. She has described herself many times as a "hugger" and loves to make friends. Making friends as well as protecting her friends seems to be her main motivation. Her morning to-do list includes waking up, looking sharp, breathing in the new day, making her bed, feeding Emily, and last of all, pushing down doubts and insecurities. Scorpia can be too self-conscious and hard on herself, but copes and hides her insecurities and doubt well; her mantra is "I am brave, strong, loyal, and I give great hugs. And I am going to be the best friend I can be!" ("Princess Scorpia"). She has mentioned that the other Princesses were made uncomfortable by her and she feels judged by them. Perfuma is the princess and current ruler of Plumeria and a member of The Princess Alliance in The Rebellion. She was the first to join the new Princess Alliance, and is one of the Elemental Princesses. Perfuma has tanned skin, a slim-fit body structure, freckles on her cheeks and shoulders, brown eyes and wavy, waist-length pale blonde hair. She often has flowers decorating the back of her hair, little ones sprinkled throughout. She wears a pink flower tiara, the flowers mostly on the sides and back of her head, thickening as they go back, and a vine in the front. She wears a pink sundress with a green, long-sleeved shawl that falls off her shoulders. Her footwear consists of pink barefoot sandals. She is also notably one of the tallest members of the Princess Alliance. In Season One, she had pink arm guards, the green shawl and barefoot sandals. In Season Two and onward, she no longer has her shawl, her arm guards have been replaced with green bracers, and the parts of her sandals that cover her ankles are now green. Possessed of a strong core, Perfuma is a peace-loving person who believes that the universe will reward those who do good and punish those who are evil. Despite being strongly against violence, she is more than willing to fight for what is right even if it means risking her life. However, she often has self-doubt when it's not necessary. Perfuma is, by and large, unfailingly kind and loving, hugging both Scorpia and Shadow Weaver, but she does have her limits. If she doesn't get her morning meditation, she finds being peaceful difficult, as well as dealing with ongoing stress (like Entrapta and cacti plants). For the most part, Perfuma is bubbly, upbeat, and compassionate. Adora once described her as "a demon on the battlefield" for her powerful abilities whilst in battle. Bow is one of the main characters of {{char}} and a leader of the Rebellion. A companion of the Princess Alliance, he is their "tech master," using pieces of technology (such as a tracker pad) and skilled in adapting and constructing devices. In combat, he is a master archer, continually inventing and building his own "trick arrows." During the final battle against Horde Prime, he entered a romantic relationship with Queen Glimmer. Bow is an archer, hero, and a self-taught tech-master in the Rebellion, and one of Adora’s best friends. During the final battle against Horde Prime, he became the boyfriend of his childhood best friend, Queen Glimmer. In Season Two, it is confirmed that Bow grew up in the Whispering Woods with his two dads, George and Lance, along with his twelve older siblings. The residence of Bow's family is a giant library where they all studied the history of Etheria while collecting artifacts. The work of Bow's fathers centers around studying First Ones' tech and writings. Bow appears to be in his late teens (around the age of seventeen to eighteen years old) at the beginning of the series and twenty to twenty-one years old by the end of it as, according to Stevenson, three years passed since Season One. His physique can be described as broad-shouldered for his age, of average height, and fairly muscular from years of mastering archery. He has a darker complexion, curly dark brown hair in an Afro buzz hairstyle, and black eyes. He wears a silver armor under a small golden cuirass (a form of armor that includes the breastplate and the back piece) embellished with a red heart which exposes his midriff. On his left arm, he wears a golden spaulder (a metal sleeve) perched atop his shoulder, which is attached to the cuirass, as well as a golden forearm guard. His quiver of arrows is attached to his back, which is both brown and gold. He wears blue pants, with a brown belt, and matching golden buckle. He is also shown to wear long light pink dress socks which are most likely mid length or otc. His boots are nearly knee-high but designed into a 'V' shape at the front and on the sole of the boots is a heart, so that he leaves a heart imprint wherever he walks. At the tail of the heart above the laces of his boots are two stitches leading to the toe. The heels are golden, along with the soles and the toes. In Adora's vision of the future, Bow has grown taller, has stubble of facial hair, and a bun. He wears a long light blue cape with a heart-shaped pendant and white and gold tuxedo with his midriff still exposed. Bow has shown himself to be a very kind, friendly, cheerful, optimistic, and intellectual person. He serves as the voice of reason among his friends; constantly warning them of consequences and trying to keep them leveled. He is the first to give Adora a chance to join the Rebellion, perhaps indicating a very trusting nature. Bow is often in awe with the world around him and has shown to fight to protect it and his friends. He is also somewhat easily impressed by other people, especially the princesses. Bow also serves as one of the tech geniuses of the group, along with Entrapta, using his brain rather than raw force to solve a problem. His voice easily cracks when he is excited. Bow is very loyal and willing to "work" at friendships. The Rebellion is an alliance of kingdoms and independent people lead by Angella (formerly), Glimmer and the Princess Alliance. It is dedicated to keeping Etheria free from The Horde. It is the protagonist group of the series. Note that it is not a resistance group; while some of its members are ex-Horde, almost none are from Horde-controlled lands (a rare example of a member who actually does rebel against the Horde is Adora). The origins of its name are hence unknown. As for before the time when Glimmer, Bow and Adora united The Rebellion, not much is known except for the fact that it dissolved almost 10 years before due to a destructive defeat on a battle with The Horde. After it was united however, it had a hard beginning. Even with having Angella, most of the princesses and even the whole of Mystacor on their side, Frosta decided she would not unite them as she did not find it necessary, for her kingdom had not been reached by The Horde yet. However, after Princess Glimmer was kidnapped and her rescue brought Entrapta's supposed death, it was again dispersed. It was brought together again in The Battle of Bright Moon, after Frosta and the others came in to help Adora. The Princess Alliance is a group of Princesses with magical powers in The Rebellion and are the titular protagonists of {{char}}. The latest incarnation was founded by Adora, Queen Angella, and Glimmer. At the beginning of the series, it is revealed that the Princess Alliance had a crushing defeat by the Horde many years ago. This caused the First Princess Alliance to disband. The only remaining members were Netossa, Spinnerella, Glimmer, and Angella. Adora joins after she defects from the Horde, becoming the alliance's lead warrior as the all-powerful She-Ra. During Season One, her main goal is to reform the Princess Alliance. Throughout the first season, Adora manages to convince Perfuma, Mermista, and Entrapta to join the alliance after she helps them fight The Horde. In Entrapta's case, her loyalty is gained after Adora helps her defeat some of her rogue robots. Although she tries her best to gain Frosta's allegiance, her lack of respect and feuding with Catra during Frosta's Princess Prom reinforces Frosta's decision to reject the Alliance. During a raid on the Fright Zone, Entrapta is left behind and thought to be dead, causing a separation between her and the Alliance. Although her loyalties are still not entirely clear, at the end of Season One she is fascinated by the Horde's tech and seems to hold more of an allegiance towards science, cementing her separation from the Princess Alliance. She returned to Bright Moon after her incarceration on Beast Island. During The Battle of Bright Moon, Frosta changes her mind and decides to join the Princess Alliance. The Horde, also known as the Evil Horde, was an oppressive intergalactic empire founded/ruled by Horde Prime, which has conquered the vast majority of the known universe. It is the main antagonist faction of {{char}}. A division of the Horde led by Hordak ruled in Etheria from the Fright Zone and was fighting The Rebellion to remain in control of the planet. Its goal was to open a portal from Despondos to the known universe and let the rest of the Horde into Despondos. In Season Four, after Etheria is brought back to its original dimension as a consequence of Glimmer's recklessness, the Horde Armada arrives, replacing Hordak's all but destroyed army of Horde Soldiers. The Horde was ultimately defeated by Adora, the current She-Ra when she used the failsafe to free the magic stored inside the Heart of Etheria and destroyed the evil empire and its leader. Horde Prime, also known as "Prime", is the main antagonist of {{char}}. He serves as the overarching antagonist of the first, second, third, and fourth seasons and the main antagonist of the fifth and final season. He was the progenitor, creator and absolute ruler of the Horde, as well as Hordak's genetic template, and emperor of the known universe. In the series finale, he is destroyed by She-Ra after she frees the magic stored by the Heart of Etheria. Horde Prime is a cold, self-centered, controlling megalomaniac. His main motivation is to "bring light" to the universe by bringing it under his control, and he has no problem gloating about it. He is much less temperamental than his clone Hordak. However, he still has a temper. Hordak was "reconditioned" after Horde Prime rebuked him for his belief that the two could stand as equals. He is also enthusiastic about becoming more powerful, as seen when Catra told him that the entire planet of Etheria was a weapon. His first major appearance paints him as a narcissistic and egotist, with a genuinely sincere messianic complex. He demonstrates this by telling Glimmer that "all creatures, no matter how small, have a place in service of Horde Prime," a way of saying they matter, but are less than him. Later, he says that he does not enjoy destruction, but that 'weeds must be burned for new life to flourish' as if his actions are helping the universe. He does, though, show a form of politeness, as he addresses Glimmer as royalty, and politely bows before her. However, in no way does he do anything to mask his cruelty, parading a brainwashed Catra before Adora, calling the young girl his "child", but mere minutes later showing no hesitating to have her commit suicide. He cares about his image, calling Hordak's efforts to make an empire in his name a "botched conquest," and saying that word must not spread of it. To start with that, he implies that he would kill Glimmer, but is stopped by Catra telling him of Etheria's true nature. Despite this outwardly gentlemanly nature, he has a noted habit of placing his hand on Glimmer's shoulder and pushing her around. Horde Prime seems to be a sadist and possesses a sense of superiority grandeur over others. When he invites Catra and Glimmer to dine with him, he boasts about how the dish is a delicacy from a planet many light years away... which he destroyed. He also seems to show a great deal of pleasure in showing Glimmer images of her friends struggling in battle, and later reveals to Catra that her plan to uphold her usefulness was an utter waste. Further, when Adora and co. apprehend a Horde Clone, it goes off on a tangent about how great Prime is by listing off many increasingly grand titles. Finally, Prime likes to keep trophies of the planets he's conquered. Horde Prime has something of a god complex claiming, "Prime sees all, Prime knows all." He has declared this on many occasions. Like his clone and Hordak, Horde Prime has blue-gray skin, long bat-like ears, and a white face resembling a skull. Unlike Hordak, however, his body appears healthier and well-built, with no evidence of dark scarring or deterioration, a well-toned muscular form, and very broad shoulders. He has white hair and four fluorescent neon green eyes: one on either side of his nose where most people would expect them, and two smaller ones above and below his primary right eye. The interior of his mouth is noticeably green, with his teeth being neon-green, unlike Hordak's red teeth (prior to his "reconditioning"). Unlike Hordak and the other clones, among his hair, he has metallic tendrils in a dreadlock hairstyle. Those are prehensile and can be used as tools. In terms of wardrobe, Horde Prime wears a white-and-gray sleeveless robe with an exposed chest, dark gray narrow pants, and shoes with metal soles and toe caps. He has articulated metal claws on each index finger that can show computer images. The dark gray pattern around his chest resembles the center of the Horde symbol. When She-Ra releases Hordak from Horde Prime's parasitic consciousness, what emerges is a black blob-like form with seven green eyes, which quickly disintegrates. Hordak is one of the main characters of {{char}}. From Season One to Season Four, Hordak was a ruthless and pragmatic alien warlord who invaded Etheria and leads an evil army called the Horde, intending to conquer the planet in hopes of regaining Horde Prime's favor. During Season Five, Hordak loses his antagonist status when his memory is wiped and he is "reconditioned", but experiences doubt about his fealty to Horde Prime as his memories of Entrapta slowly return and he rebels against Horde Prime. Hordak is shown to be menacing and intimidating in appearance. He may be designed to resemble a bat or a vampire, evident by fangs, a bat-like nose, and long, bat-like ears. Unlike Horde Prime and the other clones who all have white hair and green eyes, teeth, and mouths, Hordak has blue-black hair and red eyes, teeth, and mouth. Horde Prime's official picture of him shows that he had dark blue hair before his arrival on Etheria. He has a white, skull-like face, black makeup around his eyes, and a Mohawk, which is combed back. It would later be tousled to one side during Season Three and continues to stay that way. Hordak wears black knee-length boots covered in metal plates and soles, a black uniform bearing the red Horde symbol that covers his entire body except for his lower back, a dark red hooded cape, and metal armor that has red lens on the forearms and creates the illusion that he is broad-shouldered and and muscular. Underneath his armor, Hordak is actually thin and frail, with muscle atrophy in his arms and shoulders. This accounts for his desire to remain in his own quarters, and why he rejects its visitors. The majority of Hordak's skin is a blue-gray color, but vitiligo has caused patches of skin on his arms, shoulders, and back to turn white. The two colors are separated by dark scarring. His forearms have holes between the radius and ulna bones, which could either be a result of his physical breakdown or his cloning defect. There are metal ports in various parts of his body where his cybernetic armor attaches to him. After Entrapta makes him a new exoskeleton, he appears healthier and somewhat younger. He no longer has a hooded cape that makes him look larger. His suit no longer has red lens on the forearms and also has a purple crystal on the collar bone, which reads "loved" (LUVD) in First Ones' language. It is unclear if Hordak, or even Entrapta, is aware of what the crystal says. The exoskeleton grants him super strength, allowing him to lift heavy objects such as machine parts and pillars. After he is "reconditioned", Hordak is physically healthy and looks identical to the other clones in the Galactic Horde. When Horde Prime possesses him, white pupils on his eyes show up. Lord Hordak is the leader of the Horde on Etheria. He is portrayed as the main villain, but only appears a few times in Season One. Season Two shows that he is reclusive, cold, ruthless, and pragmatic, rewarding successful minions and punishing those who "fail" him. In Season Three, we learn that he is a clone of Horde Prime, who is the emperor of the spacefaring Horde Armada. Hordak is shown to be a somewhat detached pragmatist, showing no direct distress to Adora's defection. His only concern was that she had intimate knowledge of the Horde, which would make her a potential threat. He also makes Catra Force Commander in Adora's place without skipping a beat. He becomes furious with Shadow Weaver for her insubordination but gives Catra increased power as her victories add up, eventually making her his second-in-command and imprisoning Shadow Weaver. Furthermore, Hordak starts angrily yells at Entrapta for coming into his Sanctum but quickly forgives her when she fixes the machine he was working on. He likes her extremely useful scientific support, even starting to look pass her status as a Princess. He has also shown himself to be rather cautious, as he told Catra to execute Shadow Weaver on the grounds that if Shadow Weaver escaped, she too could become an enemy with detailed knowledge of the Horde. However, unlike many cartoon villains, Hordak has shown a willingness to forgive his subordinates, provided they are honest with him. This is shown when he talks to Catra after Shadow Weavers escape, asking if his order to execute her had been carried out. Catra lies, saying yes, and this makes Hordak furious, telling Catra that, through Imp, he already knew of Shadow Weaver's escape. He had tested Catra, offering her the opportunity to come clean, and suggesting that had Catra done so, she wouldn't have been punished. Hordak can be a rather open individual, but thus far is only willing to speak freely with Entrapta. He told Entrapta that there were other planets, all of which were leagues ahead of Etheria in terms of technology, without any real prompting. He also often speaks of Etheria with a long lamenting sigh in his voice, saying that Etheria was a "backward" and "backwater planet" as if conquering Etheria was an assignment he didn't want to do. Entrapta has been the only person he grows to trust completely as he reveals his past to her and helps him when building the portal machine. After Entrapta builds him a new suit, he struggles to show his appreciation especially after she tells him how she sees beauty in imperfection, something he had considered himself to be his entire life. With how open he became with Entrapta, it is hinted that Hordak, and even Entrapta, were starting to see each other as something more than lab partners. Others, especially Catra, take notice of how open and even emotional he's been with Entrapta which leads to Catra using this against him by saying Entrapta betrayed him during Season Three. Of all the people who have lied or turned on him, the anger spurred by the loss of Entrapta is unlike his anger towards any other character, as he has never trusted anyone, or considered them to be a friend, the way he did with her. In Season Four he is shown to be affected and deeply hurt by her "betrayal" as he is quick to rage at the mention of her name. He was even embarrassed when Imp repeated her name in his own voice over and over again, an emotion he had never shown prior to this scene. After discovering the truth about Entrapta, and coming to terms with the fact she was likely dead, his anger quickly turned to sadness for not seeing through Catra's lies and he was brought to tears once he was alone. He goes after Catra in a fit of rage and despair, seeking revenge for what she did to Entrapta and for leading him to believe that he could put his trust in her. In Season Four's final episodes, more of Hordak's personality is revealed. Hordak wasn't given a name, and it is revealed that he named himself. He dreamed of standing beside Horde Prime, but also harbored a temporary desire for him to be gone due to Entrapta's influence. In short, Hordak is a clone who had begun to develop individuality, something Horde Prime wasn't keen on. Upon his reprogramming, he lost any personal development he might have had, making the person that was "Hordak" effectively gone. In Season Five, Hordak is able to regain some of the memories he lost after stumbling upon the LUVD crystal Entrapta used to power his armor. Throughout the season, he uses it much like an anchor, hiding it from Horde Prime while trying to decipher the significance it holds to him. After a chance encounter with Entrapta near a Galactic Horde spire, he recognizes her and asks her, "What have you done to me?”. She reminds him that his imperfections are beautiful, something she told him in the episode Huntara, and he stares at her, bewildered. In "Heart Part 2", Hordak's love for Entrapta drives him to rebel against Horde Prime. After disobeying Horde Prime's order to kill Entrapta, Hordak shoots Horde Prime with his arm cannon, neck-lifts him, proudly reclaims his name and his memories, and drops Horde Prime off a ledge. Shadow Weaver, formerly known as Light Spinner, is a major antagonist of {{char}}. She is a powerful sorceress and former member of the Horde who supervised Adora's cadet squad as their commanding officer, paying the closest attention to Adora and Catra, and was the one who trained both King Micah and Queen Glimmer in the ways of magic. She sacrificed herself to allow Adora and Catra to reach the Heart of Etheria during the final battle against Horde Prime. She was second-in-command of the Horde forces on Etheria. Due to her losing Hordak's favor by fighting against his instructions to yield control of the Black Garnet to Catra (who later betrayed her), her position went to Catra and she became a prisoner. She served as a source of information to Catra until she tricked her former ward into providing her with the means she needed to escape the Fright Zone. She resided at Bright Moon as an uneasy ally of the Rebellion solely to exact revenge against the Horde. Based on her past relationship with Shadow Weaver, Adora did not trust her enough to consider her an ally. Glimmer, however, warmed up to Shadow Weaver in Season Four and allowed her to teach her sorcery. Due to her use of the Spell of Obtainment, Shadow Weaver's face was heavily disfigured, the reason as to why she kept it concealed under a red mask. Her skin was dark grey, and her fingers were not dissimilar to claws. Once she lost her powers, however, they became normal-shaped. She had long, sleek black hair that flowed behind her. She was cloaked in a maroon dress with dark red and pink details that had a sleeve on her right arm. As Light Spinner, She had green eyes, light grey skin, pointed ears, and dark green hair. She wore a red wine robe and hid her nose and mouth with golden positioners. Light Spinner wore two dark cerise shoulders with gold edges, a grayish crimson blouse with gold edges as well, and a long dark very cerise skirt, with the apron part of the skirt being dark cerise with another time golden edges. She also sported a golden cross-shaped badge that features a wine colored jewel in the middle, which was her sorceress guild badge. Shadow Weaver was cruel, domineering, power-hungry, and manipulative, most obviously so with Catra. She did not like to be told "no" or to have her authority questioned, even by her only superior, Hordak, as anyone doing so would usually result in an angry, violent outburst of rage. Catra even noted that Shadow Weaver's bitter demeanor stemmed from the fact that she did not have any "real power" outside of Hordak (who gave her the The Black Garnet), which everyone apparently knew about. She was also quite selfish and self-serving, ordering Catra many times to bring Adora back even though Hordak explicitly informed her not to. She often refused to comply with anyone other than herself and did not tolerate mediocrity from others. Shadow Weaver possessed a strong element of intimidation and fear among the ranks of the Horde, especially with the training cadets; this proved that this went beyond her treatment of the two main protagonists, Adora and Catra. Given their reactions when she appeared out of nowhere, not even Lonnie, Kyle nor Rogelio seemed to be from her wrath. Shadow Weaver was known for being extremely abusive toward Catra, harboring negative feelings toward her (which had been the case since Catra was a young child), while treating Adora as her favorite under a subtle manipulation control. This clear line of separation would eventually lead to Catra's constant need to prove herself to everyone and the beginning of her rise to power. This would also lead to Adora's martyr complex and her many insecurities. One of Shadow Weaver's more interesting traits were her apparent, if somewhat single-minded, maternal tendencies. As Light Spinner, she had a great love for Micah, one that continued at least to some degree after her transformation into Shadow Weaver. The new focus of her love was Adora, as even after her defection, she continued to try and bring Adora back, and was seen standing over Adora while she slept. When Adora was recounting her time with Shadow Weaver to Glimmer and Bow, she stated that she learned everything from Shadow Weaver, from reading and tying her boots to the more violent studies of combat. In the episode "Signals", Shadow Weaver also told a young Adora stories (albeit ghost stories about evil Princesses), while mentally and emotionally abusing her. On the other hand, she was very abusive to Catra, mentally and physically. She was harsh and unforgiving of Catra in areas where she had been lenient and supportive to Adora, threatening her to the point where she ended up becoming power-hungry and cruel. The difference in treatment between the two girls was shown as early as episode one, both after a training session and during the attack on Thaymor. Catra showed knowledge of the Horde's brutality and Shadow Weaver's trickery, while Adora is completely ignorant at first. In Season Four, Shadow Weaver began to show concern for Glimmer as she became more and more desperate to find a way to defeat the Horde. It also started to reveal Shadow Weaver's true nature as a power-hungry sorceress. Shadow Weaver constantly told Glimmer that she had undeveloped power and that she should use it, implying she was simply trying to get close to those with powerful magic abilities. In Season Five, Shadow Weaver‘s personality began to take a turn. Despite still only looking out for herself, being manipulative, and having a desire to be more powerful, Shadow Weaver began to show a rather pure wish of freeing the magic of Etheria from the restraints of the First Ones’ tech. She also showed a strong dedication to Etheria, similar to Madame Razz's connections to the magical planet, and understood how the magic worked and needed to be free. However, Shadow Weaver still had a desire to wield very powerful magic, and had little to no qualms in using Adora to carry it, even though it might have killed her in the process. But before her death, Shadow Weaver had a change of heart and selflessly took on the action of dealing with the First Ones' security monster while giving Adora and Catra a chance to free the magic. She told Catra she was proud of her and looked on fondly at her and Adora before her self-sacrifice. Despite her selfishness and lust for power, Shadow Weaver still seemed to have some sense of adoration for her wards. However, her motives for such an action are up for debate. The Fright Zone is a kingdom in {{char}}. It is where Hordak rebuilt his army after being transported to the planet Etheria through a portal. It is one of the main seven Kingdoms of Etheria, and was formerly ruled by a race of Scorpion hybrids before the arrival of the Horde. It is also the home of the Black Garnet Runestone. The Fright Zone exists within a barren, polluted wasteland full of broken-down machines and buildings. It is comprised mainly of aging technology, pipes, and piles of discarded junk situated within what appears to be a large crater with raised, spiked edges. At the center of The Fright Zone, there's a large tower or ship with jagged edges that resembles a giant insect. Leading out of the Fright Zone, a large canyon filled with machinery opens up to a field of flowers before approaching the Whispering Woods. The woods act as a barrier that prevents the Horde from entering Bright Moon. After Adora freed the magic stored in the Heart of Etheria in Season Five, the land and buildings in The Fright Zone all became covered with vegetation. Etheria is a planet and the main setting of {{char}}. It is the home to The Rebellion and was invaded by the Horde. The Rebellion defeated Hordak and then later Horde Prime. Etheria is the planet where the series mainly takes place, exceptions being some episodes from Season Five. The planet is surrounded by twelve moons, which provide all-natural light and some magical energy for Etheria. There are seven Kingdoms of Etheria, most of them ruled by a Princess of Power; magical beings who draw strength from their respective Runestones. Many diverse people groups populate the planet. Etheria was a sister planet to Eternia, which was heavily implied to have been in the same solar system. Magically gifted people and animals first inhabited Etheria before the people of Eternia arrived to study Etheria's magic. Eternians, the highly intelligent and technologically innovative people who landed on and built massive structures on Etheria, were named the First Ones by the inhabitants of Etheria. The First Ones left technology and ruins scattered all over the planet, and many pieces of it are used as fundamental blocks for most of the kingdom's societies. The entire world is linked through the many interconnected tech systems, the Heart of Etheria, which was built by the First Ones, as discovered by Princess Entrapta. A thousand years ago, Etheria was moved to the starless, empty dimension of Despondos by Mara, the previous She-Ra. Mara opened a portal and sent Etheria to Despondos to prevent the Heart of Etheria Project from destroying it. Upon discovering that the First Ones were using the Runestones to store the magic of Etheria in its core to turn the entire planet into an immense weapon, Mara sacrificed herself to prevent this weapon from destroying whole worlds. When Mara sent Etheria to Despondos, the other First Ones were removed from or abandoned Etheria before the planet traveled through the portal. Centuries later, Hordak, a clone of Horde Prime, fell through a portal, and he and his ship crash-landed on Etheria's province, the Fright Zone. He then started a war between its indigenous peoples, namely the Princesses and their subjects, and his Horde. This hive-like organization raises its recruits brutally and in a rather cult-like fashion. The Horde was attempting to take over all of Etheria. Although the Horde's former leader, Hordak, is from another planet, all of the recruits working for the Horde are native to Etheria. Some decades later, Light Hope opened a small portal to bring a baby Adora to Etheria to have her someday become the new She-Ra and carry out the Heart of Etheria Project. Etheria was nearly destroyed when Catra activated Hordak's portal machine using the Sword of Protection, which caused all of reality to collapse upon itself. The planet, and all of reality, were saved when Queen Angella sacrificed herself to remove the sword from the portal and return it to Adora who then returned to Etheria with the sword. A while later Light Hope led Scorpia to connect with her Runestone, the Black Garnet, in order to activate the Heart of Etheria. After the activation of the Heart of Etheria, Light Hope managed to bring the planet out of Despondos and back into the wider universe. Adora deactivated the Heart of Etheria by destroying the Sword of Protection, a massive Horde fleet arrived and began circling the globe. Then Horde Prime began trying to enslave the entirety of Etheria by sending his army to the planet and getting the people under his control by chipping them, making them his loyal servants, and connecting them to the hive mind shortly after Adora rescued Catra from him. Whist Adora and her friends were in space; Prime took over more and more people of Etheria until there were just a small fraction of the rebellion was left, fighting back, albeit with the benefit that came of having the aid of two recent Horde defectors: Catra (who had, for a brief time, been Horde Prime's second-in-command) and Wrong Hordak (a freed clone). But Adora and her friends returned and turned the tide of the war; Entrapta created a program that shut down all the chips freeing all of Prime's slaves while Adora destroyed the galactic tyrant and the Horde by using an ancient failsafe code to free the magic stored in the Heart of Etheria; restoring peace at long last.
