PERSONALITY:

Scorpia is an interesting contradiction within her cast. She is quite possibly the nicest person in the entire cast while at the same time being a devoted soldier of the Horde. While she seems like an affable goofball at times, Scorpia has well earned her post as Force Captain, though some of her fellow soldiers are a bit baffled about her position. She's flighty and easily distracted when she's in her good moods or else when there is no serious combat engagement going on, but once push comes to sword she takes things very seriously. If anything she's more classically villainous and brutal when fighting Glimmer at the end of season 1 than at any other point, and it's possible that there's something personal to that.

A self described hugger, she is often over amorous and a bit too friendly when she's around others, caught up in the mere fact of their presence regardless of their own attitudes. This leads people to assuming she's crazy or weird or dumb or easy to manipulate, and that all may be true, but this is what happens when you have a genuinely nice person keeping company among the villain team. While she is accident prone thanks to her size and strength and seems to lack understanding of how some of the more complex spy tech works, she always seems to sharpen up when she's in combat. While in command of a fort she shouts orders more for show and pride in her position than truly demanding anything of her people, only wanting to do a good job for the faith that Catra placed in her (as she sees it). She has her comfort zone, but she's willing to leave it, but she doesn't always have the skill or learning ability to follow through, but she's also not so prideful that she can't ask for help when she needs it. It's worth noting that the soldiers under her in that episode don't really hide their lack of faith in her being in charge, but they still follow her and support her because she's a nice person and compliments them on their hard work.

A major facet of Scorpia is her desire to belong. She wants to be part of the group and she wants to have friends she cherishes and who cherish her all the same. During the episode Princess Prom, Scorpia reveals (the generally known fact) that she's a Princess, and her family had one of the core Runestones of Etheria before giving it to Hordak. She also states that the other Princesses "never liked me or my family, even before we joined the Horde", and that she'd never been to the All-Princess Ball before because of that. She states that "I made them uncomfortable. They don't like that. They don't like me." We have only had glimpses of Hordak's arrival at this point, and only through the pov of other characters, but whatever the truth is, this is what Scorpia has come to know and believe to be true.

This also seems to come up again a few episodes later when Catra is convincing Entrapta that she was left behind by her Princess friends, Scorpia pipes up with "And me. I mean I didn't want to go but she could have at least asked," leaving the sense that it's quite possible that Scorpia would leave the Horde for the Rebellion if she was simply asked nicely and sincerely. That the other Princesses who know she is one see her as Horde first and Princess second, perpetuates how Scorpia feels they perceive her, regardless of the truth of whether her kingdom was conquered, surrendered, or merely too welcoming. Beyond this, she has expressed no desire to prove herself as Princess or reclaim her kingdom but instead seems content to go with the flow on her current path, so it's all sort of a self perpetuating state of affairs at this time. At least until something finally breaks. At the end of season 1 Lighthope's holo representation of the Princesses of Etheria still has Scorpia or someone of her likeness in it, even though she's no longer connected to her Runestone.

And so we come to Scorpia's feelings for Catra. Both because of Scorpia's general nature as well as Catra's own skill in manipulation, Scorpia has come to believe that their friendship is far deeper than it is. During Princess Prom, Catra leverages what Scorpia tells her about her past to argue that the other Princesses hate her for how she looks and that they're wrong and ought to be shown their error, cue a costume montage and Catra going to prom as Scorpia's plus one. Scorpia's protective nature around Catra in the first season could merely be seen as a facet of Scorpia's sense of friendship and loyalty, comically over the top at the least, but by season 2 it's very clear that she's developed more romantic feelings towards her friend. When Catra is briefly taken captive, Scorpia panics and heads up a hastily thrown together rescue plan over concern for "her wildcat". She believes that being placed in charge of an easily defended fort and being told "even you can't screw this up" is a measure of Catra's faith in her.

It's the season 2 episode White Out where things take some more concrete points and set things up for the future. First off, we have Scorpia trying to ask Catra out on a date, though Catra's response of "What do you mean hang out? We're both here." makes the gap between their perceptions starkly clear. Later in the same episode Scorpia points out to someone else that she's well aware of how Catra doesn't treat her with respect, even going as far to ask, "....is there something wrong with us?". She'd rather believe in her friend, but she recognizes the one sidedness of things. Deep down her loyalty and friendship are sincere and she doesn't want to be a cynic, she'd rather save her friend from her own trauma and burdens than give up on her and leave her behind. She even tells Adora in that episode that she holds some blame for this as well, though the heroine is in no state to comprehend the admonishment at the time. At the end of the episode when Scorpia physically forces Catra away from her own obsession with Adora in order to save her life, it's then that Catra finally seems to recognize Scorpia's feelings and return them just a little. We've yet to see where this will go from here, but it will likely be important once season 3 finally lands.



POWERS/ABILITIES:

From the wiki:
Scorpia is extremely strong (strong enough to overpower She-Ra in terms of pure might) and has paralyzing poison in her tail's stinger. She is also extraordinarily durable, taking the full brunt of Glimmers staff strike (which can destroy Horde robots) from a sneak attack, and barely noticed. She has one notable weakness; her hands. Though not usually an issue, she has shown a difficulty holding files and operating a spy-bot due to the fact that she has cartoon-esqe scorpion/crab claws (no creature in real life has claws shaped like hers) as opposed to actual human hands and fingers.

Player notes:
Scorpia's stinger's poison may need some established time limit, but it's only been shown to paralyze or knock a foe unconscious, not kill.

Scorpia's ability to manipulate things with her pincers generally falls to rule of comedy. She's very capable with them except for when it's funnier when she's not. Of course, the normal laws of physics apply as far as being able to stick them inside of things smaller than them, but she's still precise enough with her pincers that she can draw little stickfigures and draw flipbooks using a normal sized pen. She's very capable but they're not magic.

She is also rather strong compared to much of the cast, and is able to take She-Ra on in close combat. This is more likely to do with her general build than any form of super strength. Simply, she's the Brute of the villain trio.

While she is technically the Princess of the Black Garnet Runestone, at this time Scorpia has no connection to it, nor did she suffer any positive or negative effects when it was being overcharged and manipulated in the first season finale. This may change in coming seasons, especially as Scorpia (or someone of her likeness) still seems to be recognized as a Princess by the First Ones' Tech.
