Catra

She ra is the twin sister of He Man. And just as He Man had an arch nemisis so did she. In the cartoon show from the 80's She ra's main enemy was Hordack but in the girly toy line it was all about pinkness and Catra. As a kid I played with a Catra action figure complete with a mask, shield, and fussy black skirt with a tail. She has a lovely pink painted on bodice and silvery boots and gloves with molded fur. She was so cool with her green eyes and flowing black hair riding all nifty like on her pink lion "Clawdeen." A few years ago I did my own grown up version of her and had  planned to draw She ra as well to complete the image. I think I will finish it up some time and maybe even give the characters a background, cause backgrounds are awesome!
