APPEARANCE

VISUAL:	adora / she-ra: s1-4, s5
HEIGHT:	5'6/170cm (adora), 6'6/200cm (she-ra). she-ra's size varies from scene to scene; these are more 'realistic' estimates from one of the animators, but she can be the full canon eight feet tall if you want. size difference squad.
BUILD:	~~jock~~ muscular, wide shoulders, sturdy af. applies to both versions, she-ra is just adora but More.
HAIR:	blonde (adora), golden (she-ra). literally always in a ponytail (adora, s5 she-ra); long and flowing (s1-4 she-ra).
EYES:	blue. mixed with a steely grey as adora; almost glowing as she-ra, especially when she uses her powers.
FEATURES:	dumb little hair poof, miscellaneous scars from growing up in the horde (+ catra). post-s1: long scars up her back from the battle of bright moon (not visible in her usual outfits), some faint claw marks on her cheek from the same. for s5 canonpoints, add scratch-mark scars across her back from catra on horde prime's ship. i personally go with the headcanon that she has a faint branding from the failsafe on her chest, too.
DRESS:	adora leans very practical, usually opting for a jacket and shorts or pants; basically anything she can fight in. she-ra rocks a white dress with shorts and bigass boots, later changing in s5 to pants and an outfit overall more reflective of adora's tastes.
VOICE:	aimee carrero

* she's canonically a lesbian so f/f only; adora has a Thing for tall, muscular women, and her love interest is a catgirl, for reference/kinkshaming.
** with plotting.

for canon-adjacent stuff, i'm cool with any canonpoint! just make it obvious in your starter/etc if it isn't already apparent from the initial setup. (feel free to request any canonpoint adora for crosscanon stuff too, otherwise i default to s3-ish, before the portal incident, or postseries.) this obviously doesn't apply if i'm auing her into another canon, but if you'd rather her be at a particular stage of equivalent character development, just lmk.

both shipping and smut will take a lot of buildup/assumed cr (with the exception of catra) bc adora is the definition of a Repressed Idiot. she's a service top who sees her only use as someone who saves/helps others; something she's getting better about post-series, but still worth keeping in mind, especially if she hasn't had that development yet. crosscanon shipping will likely take an au since she's stupidly in love with catra pretty much no matter the canonpoint, but i'm down for trying it.

an important note / opt out: adora is a child soldier raised by an abusive mother figure, and has a lot of issues stemming from that. these include an overblown sense of responsibility for everything, extreme anxiety when she feels things going wrong, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and a martyr complex the size of the planet. adora's mistreatment was mostly psychological, but her best friend suffered direct verbal and physical abuse on a regular basis, and so her tags may contain mention of this, too; especially her guilt over not doing enough to stop it.

for all its ridiculous names and flowery magic, canon treats this part of things very seriously, and i intend to do the same. if you need to opt out of this in any way, or have it toned down, please, please let me know here (comments screened), or via pm. i will not be offended in the slightest.
