She-Ra is a fictional character and the heroic female lead in the series of toys produced by Mattel called She-Ra: Princess of Power. She also appears in the tie-in cartoon of the same name, which was an attempt to make a version of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon series that would appeal to young girls in the same way that He-Man appealed to boys. She-Ra is also the twin sister of He-Man.

[edit] Fictional character biography

She-Ra is introduced in an episode of the first He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series as Adora, an agent of the evil Horde that ruled the planet Etheria. However she then discovers that she's the long-lost twin sister of Prince Adam of Eternia, having been stolen by the Horde's leader, Hordak, as a baby. In the same story, she is granted the Sword of Protection, which parallels He-Man's own sword, and gained the power to transform into She-Ra. As Adora, she then joined with the rebellion that sought to free Etheria from the Horde, though only a few other characters knew her secret identity as She-Ra. She then starred in her own series, and teamed-up with He-Man (they know each other's secret) at least twice.

[edit] 2002 She-Ra revamp

It was rumored that She-Ra was supposed to be reintroduced in the third season of the 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series; however, the series was cancelled after the second season, and thus She-Ra never came to be in the latest incarnation. She did, however, receive an updated action figure to fit in with the new 2002 Masters of the Universe toyline. The 2004 She-Ra toy was an exclusive to the Wizard World Chicago and San Diego Comic Con 2004 comic-book and pop culture conventions.
