Nostalgia Rools: She Ra. 

by Snowbunny


She was the original warrior princess.  In fact, she was the Princess of Power, just minus the bondage gear.

She was She Ra, and she had a pink winged unicorn.  Now that’s way cooler than some blonde chick that writes poems and whines a lot.

Lets get to the basics, shall we?  She Ra was a spin off from the always popular He Man.  In essence, She Ra was He Man without the steroids and with tits and a decent hair do.  She was Princess Adora, sister of Prince Adam (who we all know as He Man).  But, for the honor of Greyskull, she became She Ra, Princess of Power.  Her unicorn, Spirit turned into, Swift Wind, a unicorn with wings.  Looking back, we have to wonder, did it keep her drier?

 

She had everything that heroes envy - long blond hair, a figure oblivious to the forces of gravity, a Mum and Dad who where King and Queen (even if she didn’t know), a sexy twin brother, even if he had a pageboy bob, and a lethal weapon. WOW!

And she had mates pouring out of her arse.  They all had special powers and depending on how exciting my day at school had been and who was the center of the current episode, my life changed.

 

GLIMMER - Always looked like she has a stress going on, her bestest buddy and pal.

BOW – Must have been gay or a pervert, what normal man keeps an owly-thing with big rainbow ears and follows a group of girls?  Extremely handy with ... the bow!  What effort must have gone into these names...

HUNTARA - Psycho with a tattoo in her head!  Hunted stuff, I suppose.

 

MERMISTA - Mermaidy type bint, who I became in the bath. But really, how helpful can one be when they are bound to the sea?  Ha ha, never fear, she changed and got legs for land work, what a true friend.

MADAME RAZZ - Wasn't she cool?  The grandma I almost had. Witchy mad bird, predicting the future but never being able to sort herself out....  In a nutshell an extremely, dangerous powerful old cow.  Had a talking broom, called, erm, Broom, originally enough.

 

SPIRIT - Her faithful Unicorn that never ran away despite being a male horse and having a pink saddle. Who, when Adora called forth the Power became Swift Wind, a pegacorn, the bastard child of a Pegasus and a Unicorn.  Methinks that the show writers had a disagreement over which to use, and decided on this wonderful compromise.  Lovely.

 

PERFUMA - The original Boots perfumist.  Was stinky, I suppose.  ...Don’t remember much about her, don’t care much about her either.

The Bad Guys:

HORDAK – Had a Horde, geddit, get the name?  Was Adora’s boss on Etheria and wanted his revenge...  Muaahh ha ha haa...

SHADOW WEAVER – Nasty man with no face who cast a spell on Adora, making her forget who she was until He Man came along and saved her.

CATRA – Catwoman rip-off, just with fewer clothes.  Hissed and scratched a lot.

 

All information pinched from a sad persons site who had too much time and not enough friends - Follow this link to find out all about the episodes, her mates, what they did, who their mum was, what their bra size was and who had shagged Bow...  You think I’m kidding?
