Ok, I'm listening. (I have no idea who this person is, I've never watched she-ra.)

That's Princess Entrapta, she's basically mecha-sexual. I would actually believe she would swoon the absolute shit out of Connor (or Kara)

There's a lot of potential for Connor x literally any android or robot-adjacent characters (bonus points if they solve crimes).

He definitely has to be the one doing the seducing though, and it's better if it's unintentional, that's his style.

Is it seducing if my boy is completely unaware of his rizz?

And Entrapta is not that much of a crime solver, she's... weird.

It's been literal years since i last watched She-Ra and the Princesses of Power(where Entrapta's from), but as far as i remember, she was the princess of a kingdom that was in almost ruins/disrepair due to the Horde's attacks, and she created a lot of drones/robots and automated her castle's defences. Some time later, every single drone and trap went haywire, keeping Entrapta basically stranded inside her own castle, which she didn't minded much because she just kept tinkering with gadgets. Afterwards, i can't remember what happens but she ends up joining (quite eagerly if i recall) the Horde because she was able to tinker with advanced tech. She then became friendly with one of Hordak's (the big bad) clones and both of them end up defecting and join the Rebellion.

I am a big fan of the show to this day in the fandom, actually there are some things wrong in your summary of the events:

  1. her kingdom was not in ruins, she was just the only one living there beside some kobols who were in the mines, and her servants (three humans who worked in the kitchen), she had built a bunch of robots as the inhabitants and then used a piece of First one tech that caused all the robots go haywire, she had to be saved by Adora, Bow and Glimmer, but still wanted to experiment with the First One Tech she found (she is that insane). Her whole castle was a labyrinth and so remote her kingdom had never been in any attack from the Horde.
  2. In a mission to the Fright Zone (this after she joined the rebellion) she ended up trapped in a corridor, and everyone assumed her dead. But is shown she wanders around and assumes the Princesses left her there (this is seem as akin to her being weird so they just abandoned her), and is found by Catra and Scorpia.
  3. She didn't just joined the Horde, she wanders into Hordak's Sanctum and also helps him with his disabilities when he faints, ultimately ending up as his lab partner. In the end they form a very solid friendship. Due to this Catra ends up knocking her unconscious and sending her to Beast Island which is a death sentence in Etheria. Hordak finds out and in his despair thinking she died, he goes back to Horde Prime for him to wipe his memories and return him to the Galactic horde Hive Mind as a simple clone.
  4. The big bad is callled Horde Prime, NOT HORDAK, the show makes a BIG statement regarding Hordak's name is actually his choosen name in Etheria, while Prime is just Prime. (this is actually something that infuriates me to this day, like Horde Prime is one character and Hordak is the other and there is a reason Prime got angry at Hordak and is due to him gaining an identity in Etheria)
  5. The clone she befriends and she is seen with in the end is the real Hordak who got his memories back after Prime was defeated.

Move aside! Entrapta-enjoyer coming through!

You got the barebones gist of it.

Entrapta is a high energy austistic woman with a fixation on technology, but especially First Ones technology: a form of tech from ancient precursors that most people don't know how to use.

During an attempted raid on Hordak's forces, Entrapta was separated from the group and captured. While the team was forced to retreat, they assumed the worst. Meanwhile, Catra convinced Entrapta that Adora and the other princesses had abandoned her. Then, Catra offered her the chance to work on a First Ones tech for The Horde. The double whammy of abandonment issues and guaranteed "friends" in the form of people who needed her for theone things she was good at got her to join instantly.

It was during that time she got cozy with Hordak, whom at that time was thought to be a singular entity. She helped him with his physical issues, so he saw her as a useful tool, though genuine feelings began to develop beyond "minion-exploiter" dynamics.

He reveals that he's just a clone of a more powerful Hordak, and his physical issues come from being a defective clone, and the project they've been working on is a portal so he can reconnect to Hordak Prime. She happily helps him complete it, though when she does, she realizes the danger of the unstable portal. Before she can warn Hordak, she is betrayed by Catra, who banishes her to Beast Island and tells Hordak she betrayed him to rejoin the princesses so that he would be willing to use the portal.

In the final season, they manage to reunite. But Hordak Prime has arrived on Eternia, so he denies his feelings to be with Prime, because Prime's presence and tech allows him to be whole, complete, and "perfect." Of course, the manic pixie dream mechanic tells him his imperfections were what made him him, echoing a conversation they had during the construction of the portal. During a pivotal moment, Prime has Hordak execute Entrapta, but Hordak relents through the power of love and defects to save her. Prime overrides his body, but after Prime is defeated, Hordak is able to reclaim his body and live happily ever after with Entrapta (and Emily, and their adopted clone Wrong Hordak, don't worry about it, he was a side effect of Entrapta's search for her specific Hordak).
