* In an episode of ''[[She-Ra: Princess of Power|She Ra Princess of Power]]'', the title character's friend Perfuma is captured by the evil Horde. Hordak first demands that She-Ra surrender herself in exchange for Perfuma's release, but [[The Mentor| Lighthope]] urges her not to agree to his demands. This proves good advice.

Hordak quickly changes his demands, saying She-Ra can have her back if she simply comes to get her. She still heeds Lighthope's advice, and eventually, by the end of the episode, he ''begs'' She-Ra to take her back, paying the rebels three months' worth of supplies in return. |
