▲'''''She-Ra: Princess of Power''''' is the sister series to [[Filmation]]'s ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]''. It tells the story of Adora, the twin sister of Prince Adam of Eternia (He-Man, himself), who was kidnapped as an infant to the planet Etheria, and later is given the power to become She-Ra in order to save the planet from its tyrannical ruler Hordak, who is a member of the galaxy-spanning Horde.
▲Instead of having a nemesis like Skeletor, a disgruntled citizen who spends his days regularly attempting to kick the heroes' royal asses, She-Ra has Hordak, who ALREADY runs the planet, which inserts some problems when alien characters comes to visit (and he turns out to be Skeletor's mentor, allowing for even more excuses for crossovers).
She-Ra was made specifically to appeal to girls, which explains the large number of mentally ''and'' physically strong female characters, like Adora, Glimmer, and Madame Razz -- and quite a number of female villains like [[Wicked Witch|Shadow Weaver]], [[Scary Scorpions|Scorpia]] and [[Dark Action Girl|Catra]]. The male characters, like [[The Archer]] Bow, were usually the ones portrayed as getting captured or needing help. Furthermore, whenever He-Man paid a visit to his sister (both in crossovers and the [[Five Episode Pilot]] Movie), he generally required her help in some way. And in the pilot movie, she first captured him, then saved him.
[[Continuity Reboot|Rebooted]] in 2018 as ''[[She-Ra and the Princesses of Power]]''.

* [[The Imp]]: Imp, of course.
* [[Inept Mage]]: Madame Razz
* [[Knockout Gas]]: Villain Hordak sprays one of the heroes with some sleep gas from his [[Swiss Army Appendage|Swiss Army Hand]]. The hero gets off an exclamation and keels over. Hordak then comments that he's going to have to have a word with his scientists; the victim shouldn't have had time to say anything before succumbing.
* [[Chivalrous Pervert|Ladylike Pervert]]: Queen Castaspella loves to
* [[Lady of War]]: She-Ra.
* [[La Résistance]]: She-Ra leads "The Great Rebellion" against Hordak's forces.

* [[Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth]]: Perfuma turns out to be this when captured by the Horde. Listen to her voice for 30 seconds, and you'll begin to understand why spending a day with her would be a bit much.
