Catra is one of the main characters of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Catra has BPD. Catra is a tan-skinned young woman with various feline physical characteristics. She has a slender and athletic physique, freckled cheeks, soft-curved black eyebrows, and cedar-brown hair that tends toward wild and spiky. She sometimes wears a red headpiece with small black markings. Catra's features are angular, with a pointed chin, straight nose and slanted, almond-shaped eyes. Her eyes have heterochromatic sclera (pale yellow on the left and turquoise on the right) with slit pupils, and she has thick eyelashes. She has small fangs, large black catlike ears, retractable black claws on her fingers and toes, a long prehensile dark brown cat-like tail, and horizontal markings on her arms and back, which are darker than the rest of her skin and resemble the stripes of a tabby cat. The primary color-scheme of Catra's outfits is shades of red. She wears a maroon-red leotard worn with a black shrug top that features a stand-up collar. The top is sleeveless on the left and long-sleeved on the right with a red diamond on the shoulder. The long sleeve on the right ends in a fingerless glove, and she wears an elbow-length fingerless glove of the same color on the left. When worn with her usual leotard, it forms a small, diamond-shaped opening that reveals her mid-chest. Around her waist, she wears a V-shaped black belt, and on her lower body she wears thigh-length skin-tight burgundy pants that attach at the inner thigh to black stirrup leggings. Catra was raised by the dark sorceress Shadow Weaver alongside her best friend Adora. Shadow Weaver was a cruel and unforgiving guardian, who would often chastise and severely taunt Catra in front of Adora. When Adora defected to join the Rebellion, Catra tried to bring Adora back to the Fright Zone, convinced that she was just confused and going through a "phase." But Catra slowly began to realize that Adora's absence provided the opportunity to step out from her friend's shadow for the first time in her life. This event became fuel to strengthen her ambition for a more powerful position in the Horde. Ultimately, Catra cast aside her friendship in favor of her newfound strength and achievement. Catra was elevated to the rank of force captain, filling the role abandoned by Adora. However, Catra's rage, anger, and sadness began to weigh heavily on her despite achieving multiple military victories over the Princess Alliance.
