She-Ra as seen in the Filmation animated series She-Ra: Princess of Power.
Appearance
One of the only major differences between She-Ra and Adora is that the former possesses waist-length blonde hair, which she holds back with a winged, crown-like headdress. She wears a short white dress decorated with metal patterns, as well as a red cape, golden boots, and long golden bracers that extend from her elbows to her wrists. Otherwise, her features are the same as Adora's, with blue eyes and red lips. She carries a sword with a crystal in the middle in a scabbard (that seems to only appear when she needs it) on her back.
Personality
She-Ra, like He-Man, is a strong-willed, forceful individual who believes firmly in doing the right thing, and encouraging others to do so. She’s warm-hearted, reasonable and noble and often displays a sharp sense of humor--even whenever she’s fighting her foes. The differences between them are subtle, and can likely be traced back to Adora's time as a Force Captain for the Horde.
She-Ra is a good deal more strategic than He-Man. In the episode Huntara, the titular character tried to ensnare She-Ra in a series of traps, which she out-thought or out-maneuvered before she ultimately disarmed Huntara in a direct confrontation.
Like He-Man, She-Ra exhibits fierce loyalty. Once a bird attacked her and she helped its harmed wing, demonstrating compassion and forethought, even against her friends' wishes.
