Adora, known by her alter ego She-Ra, is a fictional superheroine in the Masters of the Universe franchise. She is introduced as the protagonist of the 1985 She-Ra: Princess of Power, which reveals her to be the long lost twin sister of He-Man. She-Ra again appears in the 2018 reboot She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. A series of toys under her name was produced by Mattel in 1984. She has also appeared in a number of Masters of the Universe comic books, most notably in DC Comics' 2012–2018 MOTU comic series, a roughly 1,000 page single story arc, collected in the 2019 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Omnibus hardcover release. In these comics and in the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline, she also has an evil persona called Despara.
As Despara, she makes an appearance at the end of Rob David and Kevin Smith's 2024 Netflix release Masters of the Universe: Revolution, the third installment of the 2021 Masters of the Universe: Revelation animated series. She's also featured in multiple story books, mainly Golden Books and Ladybird books, and in some MOTU games.
In a later date, the Netflix series introduced Mara, who was She-Ra before Adora in Princesses of Power. She was a First One and the previous known She-Ra before Adora. She was chosen by Etheria to be She-Ra. She makes her first appearance as a holographic projection made by Light Hope to explain the succession of the She-Ra line in the episode "Light Hope."
