Canon biography

She-Ra: Princess of Power (1985)

In She-Ra: Princess of Power, Entrapta is the Horde's technician and a sidekick of Catra. Entrapta is a skilled inventor and is credited with designing advanced equipment for the Horde to employ in their battle against the Great Rebellion. Her specialty is devising traps and weaponry.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018-2020)

In She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Entrapta is given an updated-origin storyline. Her hair is also purple, unlike in the original show where it was pink, and she is able to mentally control it at will as if it were another appendage, to manipulate it to fight enemies or to control her various machines.

Showrunner ND Stevenson later confirmed that Entrapta was written as autistic. Entrapta is portrayed in the series as a skilled but reckless inventor and princess of Dryl. She has great interest in studies of robotics, and despite many failed experiments, she became one of the most knowledgeable people on First Ones' tech in Etheria.

Entrapta quickly joins the Rebellion, though after a partially-botched rescue mission to the Fright Zone, she is nearly incinerated and left for dead by the other princesses. Convinced by Catra that she was abandoned by her friends on purpose, Entrapta is recruited into the Horde and she creates highly effective weaponry for them. Entrapta bonds with Hordak, the leader of the Horde, over their shared interest in technology while helping him build a portal to summon the rest of the Horde. Hordak reveals his nature as a defective clone to her, and due to Entrapta's love for imperfection, they form a genuine friendship that blossoms into romantic love.[1][10][11] However, when Entrapta refuses to activate the portal upon learning it could destroy Etheria, she is knocked out by Catra and sent off to Beast Island while Hordak is made to believe that Entrapta betrayed him. Nonetheless, Entrapta is delighted by the ancient technology left on Beast Island. When Adora and Bow arrive to rescue Entrapta, she is reluctant to leave, due to both the island's resources and her feelings of abandonment. With that despondency in mind, Entrapta almost allows herself to be consumed by the aggressive vegetation of the island. However, when She-Ra tells Entrapta that leaving with them would allow her to examine their aircraft, an item of ancient technology, Entrapta agrees to help them escape and ends up rejoining the Rebellion. When the galactic Horde, led by Hordak's creator Horde Prime, arrives at Etheria, Entrapta proves to be instrumental in foiling his plan to use the planet's inner superweapon to destroy the universe. Hordak's love for Entrapta is shown to be strong enough that it inspires him to rebel against Horde Prime, and the two happily reunite after She-Ra disables the weapon and defeats Horde Prime.

According to Stevenson, Entrapta "sees humanity in everything" and had "lots of robot boyfriends and girlfriends", along with her relationship with the ship, Darla, in "some capacity".
