Origin

Princess Adora, along with her twin brother Prince Adam, was born to King Randor and Queen Marlena on the planet Eternia. The planet was attacked shortly afterwards by the forces of Hordak who sought revenge on the King and Queen for resisting the Hordes attempts at galactic control. Hordak sought to kidnap their children, but only managed to capture Adora as Man-At-Arms got to Adam first. Hordak then escaped, with the Princess, through an inter-dimensional portal that lead to the planet Etheria.

The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull used her magic to cleanse the memories of Eternians so that only certain members of the Royal Family knew of what happened to the Princess, and the rest of the world's population could be spared the grief surrounding her loss. On Etheria, Adora was raised by Chakra, who provided for the young men and women that would grow up to serve Hordak.

As Adora gew older she gained more and more special attention within Hordak's forces, and even attained the rank of Force Captain. One day, Adora was confronted by He-Man who, unknown to her, had travelled to Etheria through a portal created by the Sorceress at Castle Grayskull on Eternia. He was stunned and captured by Adora, which allowed her magical sword to come into her possession. The Sorceress was then able to communicate to Adora through the sword and reveal everything to her about her true identity. Adora then transformed into She-Ra for the first time, and rescued her brother.

As the Princess of Power and defender of the Crystal Palcace She-Ra stands as the best defence against the Horde of Evil on Etheria. And as Adora she leads "The Great Rebellion" against the mighty Horde on Etheria. With the words "For the honor of Grayskull...I am She-Ra!", Princess Adora transforms into the powerful Etherian rebel hero everytime her help is needed. Carried on her friend and stead, Swift Wind, she became a powerful symbol of freedom for all on her adopted world.

Powers

As She-Ra she possesses incredible strength, speed, agility and endurance. She is described as "the most powerful woman in the universe" by both Etherians and the Horde. Her magic sword can shoot energy blasts and transform into virtually any weapon or object potentially allowing any opponent or problem to be overcome. She is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and strategy having been trained by the Horde since childhood and also has a far keener sense of hearing than normal, the ability to heal others through touch, and a form of telepathy that enables her to communicate with animals and the Sorceress on Castle Grayskull on Eternia. In addition, She-Ra may fly when sat atop of her horse, Swift Wind or through transformation of her sword into a flying object. When flying She-Ra is capable of travelling back in time. In using her powers She-Ra will use her intellegence as well as her raw power to overcome opponents or problems. The exact limits on She-Ra's powers are currently unknown. Princess Adora is granted all of these magical powers from Castle Grayskull whenever she uses her mystical Sword of Protection to transform into She-Ra, akin to He-Man's Sword of Power.
