Songster variants ! I'm always so fascinated by just how many versions there can be of a Pony under just one name.

He-Man and She-Ra Power Tour
The lore from the Power Tour, the Masters of the Universe stage show that toured the US and Canada from autumn 1986 to some time in ‘87, was wild.

They brought out an Eternian bard named Songster to sing about the origins of the main characters (well, most of them: not Teela, Orko or any of Skeletor’s henchmen). What does an Eternian bard look like?
It’s the eiiiiiightiiiiiies! Do a lot of coke and vote for Keldor Miroson!
His first song was about Eternia before Castle Grayskull. The planet was ruled by five good wizards. They had to keep fighting the disorganized Snake Men, who “lacked but one thing: a leader to lead them! Then one day he appeared! Hordak!”
(What, were you expecting King Hiss? Maybe the five good wizards are the Ancients who banished him right before this story.)
So they fought a war, and the evil forces were defeated. Hordak retreated to another world with some of his Snake Men, swearing that he would one day return and get his revenge.
“Knowing that Hordak would indeed return,” the five ruling wizards decided not to die natural deaths but rather sacrifice themselves setting up a system containing all their power/the power at the Heart of Eternia/the Starseed/whatever.
“ULTIMATE SACRIFICE!”
They transmuted their bodies into the walls of Castle Grayskull! The first Sorceress appeared, to protect the Power Sword.
Fast forward to the time of King Randor. The astronaut Marlena crashes on Eternia. They fall in love, get married and have twins.
Then Hordak returns! Baby Adora is stolen from the nursery and Prince Adam grows up being told that Eternia’s peace and freedom is all up to him. We see him as a young man being trained by Man-At-Arms.
Now here’s an interesting divergence from any other ‘80s version of Hordak’s story: rather than “Skeletor betrayed me many years ago!” or “Hordak abandoned me when the Queen and Man-At-Arms subdued me in the nursery”, the stage presents a diptych where Hordak continues teaching Skeletor while MAA teaches Adam. Skeletor is an apt pupil, while Adam is a complete failure. The Sorceress appears behind him to sing inspiration. But it seems to be of no avail, and even when Hordak’s forces invade Eternia, Adam whines “Father I can’t!”, to which Randor says “Then Eternia is lost” as the royal parents and Duncan go out to fight. But eventually the Sorceress inspires Adam with confidence and he summons the Power of Grayskull through the Sword.
Duncan doesn’t recognize He-Man as Adam, and they briefly fight until he identifies himself as the Prince, not one of Hordak’s champions. They fight Snake Men, then Hordak says “Let’s see if you can face a REAL warrior!” ... the performer playing She-Ra! Grown Adora puts up a better fight than a Snake Man but is still knocked down by the Power of Grayskull. The Sorceress has to tell He-Man not to slay her, for she is his sister. Shamefaced, He-Man splits the sword in two, one half being the Sword of Protection. Adora powers up by the Honor of Grayskull, and that is how He-Man and She-Ra came to be!
That’s all the lore. The show then moved on to silliness like Skeletor challenging the twins to Good vs Evil on roller skates and such.
Songster is a young teen pop star breaking into the scene as a fun and bubbly. She is super loud and open about being older pop star Starsongs biggest fan. Basing so much of her style and career off of her style.
She dreams of one day performing beside the stars she admires.
