I loved reading this as a little girl. I wanted to be She-Ra!

May 28, 2019 Too Long at the Fair
Plot: Tired of the same ol things, Glimmer wants something new for the annual fair. So Adora goes to Castaspella and asks her to do a magic act. She agrees but only if it’s a short act. She has to get back in order to reclaim her throne or it’ll go to her cousin Allepsatsac. Catra plots with her cousin so they’ll make sure she stays away. She plants allies at the fair to distract Casta into accepting request after request until it’s close to midnight. But She-Ra requests a spell to create a portal so she sees her cousin on the throne and with the help of her and Swift Wind she makes it back in time.
My Thoughts: Hmm! I don’t remember Castaspella having a cousin. Then is this her cousin or her TWIN? Then when I figured out that her name was Castaspella’s name spelled backward, I was expecting a darker version. Something that made her look similar, but different at the same time. Backward colors in her outfit. Same face. Same outfit. No creativity whatsoever with this character. She really wasn’t all that great a villain because she didn’t pose much of a threat. There wasn’t even a fight over the throne. She kind of just ran.
