Everthing changes, however, when a defective Horde soldier named Adora seems to possess the power of the legendary Princess Warrior, She-Ra. Glimmer and Bow then take her to Bright Moon, and starta new chapter of the war in Etheria.

What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
- She can be a jerk at times with her friends, such as blaming Adora for her mother's death, which hurt the former a lot (though she felt remorse), not feeling empathy from Entrapta being on Beast Island, although she said she'd rescue her later, among others. And although she did shed her worst qualities from season 4, she had moments like these in earlier seasons too, so she likely retains a bit of these traits.
- She can also be stubborn and reckless, trusting Light Hope and using the Heart of Etheria to try to defeat the Horde, despite Adora's multiple warnings of how dangerous it would be.
Trivia[]
