In both animated series, Catra is a Force-Captain of Hordak's Evil Horde, a position previously held by Adora before she defected in the 2018 reboot. In the first series, Catra displays minor sorcery abilities, possessing a magical mask, which when slid over her face gives the ability to transform into a purple panther-like beast, also showing telepathic control over all cats; in the second series she has cat-like features of her own, including a tail, large furry ears, a mane, and claws.
In the toyline, she is the principal villain. However, the 2018 series portrays her as a far more complex figure, serving as an antagonist before ultimately redeeming herself and becoming Adora's girlfriend.
