Ethnicity: Caucasian.
Sexuality: Heterosexual (though her love interests are very few and far between and she doesn't commit to any of them).
Other Trivia: Also known as the Most Powerful Woman in the Universe. He-Man/Prince Adam's twin sister, who was kidnapped by the Horde as a baby and raised by the ones who would become her arch enemies, mainly Hordak, the tyrannical ruler of Etheria. Started off bad, as a Force Captain, and turned good thanks to He-Man and the Sorceress; however she was not aware that the Horde is evil at first, and she was made ignorant due to being under magical spells. She is freed when she finds out her true destiny as She-Ra. From there she immediately dedicates her life to also freeing the planet Etheria from the Horde's rule, even if it takes years and her time away from her family on Eternia. She has a very kind and caring heart - an example of all that is good and righteous in a world corrupted by hate and ignorance. Due to her past she knows more about the Horde than the other rebels. Honorable and forgiving even towards her worst enemies - nobody will get hurt on her watch. She is also really, appropriately-cartoonishly strong for a female character in a children's cartoon in the eighties; she was created to appeal to a young female audience - like He-Man appealed to young boys - and she is very much a wish-fulfillment fantasy for them. She-Ra is capable to the max, sure to win every fight in every episode. She can be viewed as a woman warrior pop culture icon with a loving heart who proceeded Wonder Woman and is a precursor to Sailor Moon. Has more female friends and allies than male ones. Evidently, she is far more progressive a role model way back in the eighties in terms of strong female fighters in both cartoons and toylines, than today where companies outright refuse to appeal to a female demographic; certainly not with anything action-based. Her 2000s comic book counterpart is given the Horde name Despara, who willingly serves the evil villain. Her arc into becoming She-Ra is that of redemption, similar to Xena: Warrior Princess. A classic heroine, appealing not only to little girls, but to everyone. Will return in a 2018 reboot of her series.
