Huntara

— Huntara (episode)

**Huntara** was a former soldier of the Horde before becoming one of the leaders of the Crimson Waste. She later joins The Rebellion.

## Appearance

Huntara has lilac-coloured skin with pointy ears, and white hair styled in a tight ponytail with a single strand flipping out in the front. She has greenish yellow eyes and a narrow pupil in the middle. She appears to have a spiral shaped marking on the top left side of her head, and two stripe markings on her right thigh. She has a very defined and muscular build. She wears two red bands with a tattered grayish-purple waistcoat with faded golden pieces, one on each side of her shoulders. Huntara has grayish-purple gloves with white bands, and some grayish-purple torn shorts with gold pieces on the sides, rusty from the dust of the Crimson Waste. She has a golden knee pad on the right side, and wears a pair of worn red Horde boots, a part of their uniform, as she is a former Horde soldier.

Huntara is a very tough and competitive person. She easily gets her way; she's not called the "Strongest In The Crimson Waste" for nothing. She can also be quite harsh on others at times.

She does seem to have kindness in her as she quit fighting for the Horde when she realized what they were really doing. She also decided to side with Adora and her friends after realizing what she was doing was wrong. She also seems to have joined The Rebellion.

## Skills and Abilities

### Skills

* Battle staff: Huntara uses an extendable staff that is very similar to the kind of staff used by Horde soldiers, and she may have taken it with her when she left the Horde.
* Her high tech staff can also be used as a compass. This is not something that we see with the Horde staff, meaning, she likely added that to the staff on her own.

### Abilities

* She was trained in battle and hand to hand combat by the Horde. Huntara is skilled in battle, strategy, treachery and leadership. She's also good at tracking, as shown in Huntara (episode) when she used her sword as a navigational guide.
* She also has knowledge of She-Ra from her travels in the Crimson Waste. She's studied what she could from Mara's ship and deduced that She-Ra was someone to be revered and honored.

## Relationships

### Adora

Huntara first met Adora when the Best Friends Squad traveled to the Crimson Waste. Adora was about to be attacked, but Huntara stepped in for her. Huntara was annoyed with Adora at first, given that Adora had interrupted her hitting on a bar maid. Adora asks Huntara to be their guide in the Crimson Waste. Adora tries to start up a conversation with Huntara about the Crimson Waste and her past, and it results in an annoyed Huntara pushing Adora against a wall and her yelling at her, saying she's Huntara of the Crimson Waste. Shortly afterward, Huntara betrays Adora, Bow, and Glimmer and takes their weapons and throws them into a pit. In the end, she decides to join the Rebellion after she decides she believes in what Adora is fighting for.

Huntara makes an appearance with Adora and her friends later, as she guides them in the Crimson Waste. This time, Adora and Huntara talk more about their pasts with The Horde and even challenge each other to a race.

### Perfuma

Huntara was at first unimpressed with Perfuma given that Perfuma's powers are 'Flowers and Plants'. When Perfuma tried to demonstrate her abilities, which then ended in Perfuma being smothered in goo from a cacti, Huntara asked Adora if Perfuma would even be able to handle herself in the Crimson Waste. Later, Huntara begins to understand Perfuma's determination and struggles with the cacti, and even helps comfort her. She meditates with Perfuma, and ends up helping Perfuma control the plants better. After this, Huntara is impressed with Perfuma and apologizes for underestimating her.

### Grox

In the episode The Valley of the Lost, Huntara meets Grox again. The two appeared to have known and somewhat trusted each other for a while, enough for Huntara to think she could rely on Grox to hide with. Though, when Grox betrayed Huntara, and tried to hand her and the escaping Rebels over to the The Horde, Huntara was furious.

## Story

### Past

Huntara was previously a member of The Horde but defected when she saw Hordak's brutality. After leaving she made her way to The Crimson Waste where she fought her way to become their leader, defeating Tung Lashor and his rival band of miscreants.

### Season Three

Huntara met the Best Friends Squad in a cantina in the Crimson Waste and pretended to befriend them. She later led them to a trap where she and her friends attacked and disarmed the heroes before dumping them in a pit. Later, when confronted with her treachery by the now escaped heroes, Huntara joined the squad and led them to Mara's ship.

Huntara stayed with The Princess Alliance fighters and went with them to Bright Moon.

### Season Four

Huntara went on a mission to the Crimson Waste with Perfuma, Bow and Adora. They liberated Mara's Ship from The Horde and returned it to Bright Moon. She fought the Horde alongside The Princess Alliance and the rebels before returning to the crimson waste fight to get her home back from the Horde.

### Season Five

Huntara did not speak in Season Five, she was only seen in cameo appearance. Huntara was first shown in the Crimson Waste along with Kyle, Lonnie, and Rogelio. Later, after she was freed of her chip Huntara was seen fighting the robots in attempt to help liberate Etheria from Horde Prime.

## Trivia

* Huntara is presumably a lesbian; in her first episode, she is seen flirting with the barmaid until the Best Friends Squad get in the way (unintentionally).
* Huntara named herself the "princess" of the Crimson Waste at the Huntara (episode), however, in The Valley of the Lost (episode) she makes it clear that it was a wry half-joke of sarcasm.
