Entrapta

Entrapta was The Horde's chief technician. She appears to have been a close 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.

In She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Entrapta is a skilled inventor and princess of Dryl. She has great interest in and studies robotics. She spent many hours tinkering with First Ones' tech, though she was not cautious and performed any experiment came to mind. Despite many ruined experiments, she became one of the most knowledgeable people on First Ones' tech in Etheria. Entrapta quickly joined the Rebellion, though after a partially-botched mission to the Fright Zone, she is nearly incinerated and left for dead. As she felt unwanted by the Rebellion, Catra was able to use this to recruit Entrapta to the Horde. Entrapta created highly-effective weaponry for them.

Entrapta bonds with Hordak, the leader of The Horde, over their shared interest in technology. Hordak reveals his nature as a defective clone, and due to Entrapta's love of imperfection, the two form a genuine friendship. However, after Entrapta refuses to create a portal, Catra exiles her to Beast Island. Catra lies to Hordak 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 to 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. In the end, Entrapta returns to the Rebellion.

Entrapta appears to have innate ability to design and create complex machines and inventions to be used by The Horde. She is also able to mentally control her long hair at will as if it were another appendage, manipulating it to capture enemies or to control her various machines. But she has been explicitly said to not have a Runestone, so where this ability derives from is unclear.

Entrapta appears in the Robot Chicken episode "Slaughterhouse on the Prairie", voiced by Robin Tunney. She accompanied Catra and Scorpia into attacking Castle Bright Moon only for She-Ra to cause her breasts to explode.[3]

In the 2018 version of the series, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Entrapta is given an updated origin storyline.[4][5][6] Her hair is also purple, unlike in the original where it was pink. Showrunner Noelle Stevenson later confirmed that Entrapta was written as autistic.[7]

The character has had mostly positive reception from critics.[8][9][10][11][12]
