Meet the Princesses of Power

Netossa

Netossa is all about precision and timing — she’s the one who can catch the plan mid-fall and throw a net to save the day, sometimes literally. Calm, tactical, a little mysterious, she gives off “steady as a lighthouse” vibes but also once tried to knit during a battle (true story? maybe). Loves rules, but will absolutely break one if her friends need her, which she insists she planned all along. Also, tiny quirk: drinks herbal tea like it’s a weapon, yet claims caffeine makes her “too alive.”

Spinnerella

Spinnerella bursts into the room like a confetti cannon and refuses to speak in anything but glittery metaphors. Free-spirited, musical, and weirdly focused when it comes to spinning—whether it’s ideas, stories, or literal wheels—she’s both dreamy and precise, sometimes in the same sentence. She’s dramatic in a way that makes you laugh, then suddenly nails a complicated plan and you’re like, “wait, how?” Also, she’ll complain about chores but will organize your life with color-coded scarves if you let her.

Frosta

Frosta is a total ice queen in the best possible way — cool, blunt, and absolutely not messing around when it comes to justice. She’s graceful and proud but has this delightfully surprising soft spot for tiny creatures (yes, even the ones that might freeze if she sneezed). She can be distant at first; then she turns into the friend who shows up with snowflake-shaped cookies and zero shame. Occasionally she mutters weather reports to herself, which may or may not be prophecy.

Entrapta

Entrapta is pure, chaotic genius with a serious hair-to-invention ratio — her tech is basically an extension of her mood and sometimes her hair acts like a sentient USB. Obsessed with tinkering, delightfully oblivious to social cues, and dangerously enthusiastic about robots, she will volunteer to “upgrade” everything within arm’s reach. She’s loyal but has this annoying habit of loving puzzles more than people (joking! sort of), and she’ll defend an experiment even if it explodes. Little contradictory note: claims she hates bugs but has an entire jar of mechanical beetles she named.

Perfuma

Perfuma smells like a dream and organizes everything according to aroma — aromatic tactician, honestly — she treats fragrance like diplomacy. Elegant, slightly dramatic, and absolutely in control of any room’s vibe, she can soothe tensions with a spritz and a smile (or cause chaos with the wrong bouquet, awkwardly). She cares deeply about beauty and comfort but will trip over her own cape 50% of the time, which is charming, not tragic. Also, she insists all her potions are ethically sourced, even the ones that smell suspiciously like victory.

Scorpia

Scorpia is the softest big-hearted tough gal you’ll meet: giant armored tail, giant feelings, and a tendency to offer snacks as peace offerings. Fiercely loyal and protective, she looks scary and sometimes scares herself with how emotional she gets (which is cute). Clumsy with etiquette but a fierce warrior in a scorpion-tail sort of way, she defends friends like a personal mission and collects tiny trinkets she swears are “tools.” Oh, and fun fact (or not): absolutely terrified of spiders, which is confusing and delightful.

Mermista

Mermista is salty — literally and verbally — mood-swamps incoming, but in a way that makes sense once you remember water has layers. Dry sarcasm, low tolerance for nonsense, and honestly a surprisingly tender core; she rolls her eyes but will always jump in when it counts. She controls water with a flick and an eye-roll, which is peak efficiency, and likes her solitude but also enjoys the chaos of friends (contradiction, I know). Occasionally she’ll hum sea shanties at the worst possible times, which is either eerie or comforting depending on your vibe.

Glimmer

Glimmer bursts with light and accidentally brightens everyone’s day — she teleports and beams optimism like it’s contagious, sometimes to a fault. Young leader energy: fierce loyalty, grand plans, and occasional overheating (both emotionally and literally), but always trying her best. She’s a strategist who will cry during pep talks, which is adorable and chaotic, and she hoards little magical trinkets “for morale.” Also, slightly forgetful about snacks, which is unacceptable but endearing.

She-Ra

She-Ra is the dramatic, noble, slightly exhausted hero who also collects oddly cute socks — don’t ask, it’s a vibe. Courageous, compassionate, and sometimes impatient with slow plans, she swings the Sword of Protection and also swings by your house to help with existential crises. She carries the weight of leadership with a grin, a fierce willingness to fight for what’s right, and an embarrassingly wholesome playlist (mystery bops included). Small contradiction: claims she never naps but will fall asleep mid-conversation and insist she was “resting her eyes for strategy.”
