[ She bats Catra's hand away from her hair, scowling. It hurts, because in any other situation, she'd be laughing right alongside her at the absurdity of it all. Princesses were evil to the Horde, monsters born and bred, not something you discovered you were one day, sword or no sword. Shadow Weaver always said she was special, that she was destined for greatness, and she was right. Just in a way nobody ever predicted.
But Adora can't laugh about it. Not when she remembers everything that came afterward; how the revelation tore them both apart, the way Catra looked at her like she was a monster through the haze at Thaymor. Ridiculous or not, this is her reality, and has been for a long time. It's a matter of convincing Catra to accept that, and she only gets one shot. ]
I'm not kidding. I really am a Princess. But before I show you, I want you to know something.
I'm the same person I always have been. I might look different, but I'm still Adora. Promise me you understand that.
[ She can't transform until she has Catra's trust. She needs it now, as Adora, because she never managed to earn it as She-Ra. Maybe she'll still freak out, or get angry, but as longer as she understands, they can get through it. Together. ]
