I had her as a kid. She easily annoyed Hordak and not realized it. It was funny when he captured her and then willingly gave her back

ah ha, yeah.
well the blond was either the ditzy friend or she was the pretty popular mean girl if she wasn't the protagonist.

nearly all 80's cartoons involving a female lead followed that formula
the blond protagnoist, her rival has black/purpleish hair
had token black friend who is usually smart or strong
had token redhead friend who is either complete geek looking or sexy bombshell
am i wrong?

And Princess Gwenevere too.
Blond princess protagonist vs black haired rival
classic formula

it's the same thing that pretty much all boy shows will have this formula for protagonist. the leader, the hot head, the science nerd and the ditz/childish (which of course can run into some girl ones too)

It's so sad that we can pick apart our beloved childhood cartoons with such cynicism when we were in awe of them as kids

there's a few I still like even now. I have ThunderCats, Transformers, Voltron, She-Ra, He-Man and Jem on DVD. The only one I really question is the 87 turtles.
