#things are more genuinely intense with shen partly because things get so personal between him + the main character they have history

spacebat adora is gross don't do this to my girl
one of the major things about fandom is going in canon divergent directions/making AUs. also death of the author. also adora was originally made by Filmation, the 2018 reboot is just someone else's interpretation...like, y'know, a fandom creation but it had the backing of major companies. i'd say like other fictional characters, adora really does belong to everyone who's felt moved by her in different ways, there's no actual monopoly on her.
also for every anti message i get in my inbox i feel like releasing another spacebat!adora into the wild.
though maybe i can keep this in the "spacebat adora" tag, it's like a tag now, i think. she's also pretty different herself, not just her design--different backstory, different ship, will be ultimately happier because of the differences in her AU world (after dealing with/starting to deal with some other AU-specific issues she has--but also from the start she's just like, happy, probably about as happy as Imp kinda tends to be). she can stay in "spacebats" tag, "horde clones" tag. nickname her? i think just "Dora" sounds cute.
LOL what if i made her into an AU version of Despara (Despara is an alter ego of Adora from, like, spin-off material related to original canon I think), but it's more an ironic name because she's far more a ray of sunshine ultimately (while still having her own AU-specific issues). if c*tra gets handed a BS/shitty "redemption arc" in the reboot while in original canon she's just a baddie, I can have a Despara who's more a ray of sunshine while being Hordak's hybrid-clone. Desdora?? LOL maybe just Dora. Dory short for Adora too? Just call her Isadora for another close-sounding alternative?
*googles 'Despara' again for a refresher* Ooh, that would be even more appropriate actually.
Possible other nicknames for Despara: Desa, Des, Despa, Para, Desy

Hordak: Name a more iconic duo than my crippling fear of abandonment and my anxiety. I’ll wait.
Hordak, tearing up: Okay.

Spacebat!Adora, or an AU where Adora wasn’t a baby Hordak found in a field but a viable clone-hybrid he made by combining a sample of his genes and preserved DNA* he scavenged from a First Ones ruin. (*Hordak stumbled on preserved samples of Mara’s DNA from the ruins of a First Ones medical facility.) Hordak got Attached while his creation was a baby and abandoned attempts to try to use this one as a new body for himself in favor of having a new little brother (Hordak has trouble articulating that he also misses his clone brothers, but he does)--until Adora says she wants to be his little sister, which he immediately accepts.
Actually, Hordak got attached to the first two viable clone-hybrids out of his attempts to make a new body--Adora and Imp. Imp proved to be a viable clone-hybrid just a few days after Adora. Imp contains a different mix of DNA--like in what’s generally been accepted as canon for Imp, Imp is an attempt to clone Hordak combined with DNA from Etherian bat-like creatures.
Imp was largely hardier than Adora, who behaved more like an average First Ones/Etherian child; but as the years progressed Adora continued to physically grow more than Imp. Later Hordak hypothesizes that this might be the extent of Imp’s growth, while Adora sometimes wonders if Imp might just age differently/age slower (a.k.a. he might age like Baby Yoda).
Hordak pushed experimentation when creating Adora, combining his and the scavenged First Ones DNA in such a way that his creation was somewhat less a clone and more a new hybrid or “offspring.”
-Adora’s voice is high-pitched/like her voice in canon. Again, because of the way Hordak combined samples of his DNA and Mara’s, Adora is produced more as a new individual combining the two, and ends up with a voice different from Mara’s.
-There are some differences in Adora’s facial shape and size (this may change later as she grows...)
-Mara’s DNA triggers some comparable traits in Prime’s DNA that are usually suppressed in the Horde Clones: Adora’s crest/hair can start growing long by itself without Prime’s “vessel transitioning” process as a catalyst; Adora has visible pupils like Mara but they resemble Prime’s slit-like pupils.
-Adora’s hands are like Mara’s, they don’t have talons. (And like Imp’s? Looking at screenshots, and I think Imp doesn’t have little talons on his hands.)
-Becoming She-Ra left a mark on Mara’s DNA. While transformed into She-Ra, Mara’s gray-blue eyes become a more intense, pure, saturated blue, and this combined with Hordak’s DNA (which favors intense colors for eyes and teeth) leads to Adora’s vibrant blue eyes and blue teeth.
-The First Ones sword will respond to Adora because she has Mara’s DNA, and she will be able to transform into She-Ra like Mara.
-Light Hope tries to monitor the situation on Etheria when she builds enough energy to, and senses Mara’s DNA in Adora. Light Hope then decides to not push herself and open a portal against all odds to extract a First Ones infant to use as She-Ra. She decides to change her plans and use Adora instead since she contains the DNA of a confirmed former She-Ra (Mara) and is already on Etheria.
(-Not suggesting in this AU that somewhere there’s like a canonish Adora that got to stay where she was and didn’t get dragged to Etheria. The only Adora in this AU would be Spacebat!Adora.)
While Imp got dark hair like Hordak, Adora managed to inherit the hair Hordak was supposed to have. What his defect repressed/changed came out unaltered in Adora.
At first I just wanted to explore drawing Spacebat!Adora, and then an actual AU behind it started coming to me.
Spacebat!Adora does have some echoes of Horde Prime in her appearance for Irony reasons, along with other reasons like wanting to play around with certain things.
(Also Adora does not get the canon ship in this AU. Imp and Hordak wouldn’t want a certain someone to lay even a single attacking claw on their sister.)
And this AU might be just...pretty different? Still brainstorming that. Shadow Weaver may sense the magical potential in Adora (from Mara’s side) and eventually try to kidnap her, and that leads to the Horde splitting into separate factions and Hordak escaping with Adora and Imp to protect them?
More Spacebat/Horde Clone-Hybrid!Adora concepts, much of them partly drawn over screenshots (like the picture above):
