Redeemed Sorceress

Shadow Weaver, formerly known as Light Spinner, is a major antagonist-turned-anti-hero of the 2018 Netflix original series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

She is the secondary antagonist of the first season, a major protagonist in the second season, and a supporting protagonist for the third, fourth, and fifth seasons.

She is an sorcesss and the second-in-command of the Horde who was once a respected teacher in the magical kingdom of Mystacor and was the mentor of Micah, the future king of Bright Moon. During an accident involving dark magic, she was corrupted and transformed into a magical parasite. After this, she turned traitor and joined the Horde, eventually becoming Hordak's second-in-command. She was also the adopted mother of Adora and Catra, emotionally manipulating the former and physically and emotionally abusing the latter. After Adora defected to the Rebellion, she became bent on capturing Adora at any cost.

Her single-minded obsession with Adora led to the Horde experiencing several defeats, leading Hordak to eventually promote Catra as his new second-in-command and imprison Shadow Weaver in the Fright Zone's prisons. However, she later escaped and defected to the Rebellion.

She is voiced by Lorraine Toussaint.

Personality

Shadow Weaver is a domineering, cruel, and extremely manipulative. Even before transforming into a magic parasite, she was shown to attach herself to individuals who possessed great magical power, such as Micah, Adora, and Glimmer. She was extremely protective and affectionate of her adopted daughter Adora. At the same time, she was abusive and discouraging to her other ward, Catra. However, in Season Two, Shadow Weaver admits that the reason she was so hard on Catra is because she reminds her of herself. And at the end of the series, they forgive each other for their wrongdoings, as Shadow Weaver sacrifices herself to save Catra and Adora from the Guardian of the Ancients under Horde Prime’s control.
