Kyle's Crew
Kyle
Kyle, The Last of the First
Click here to see his appearance as Jared's Heir
"I can't do this anymore."
A former member of the Horde, Kyle leaves Lonnie and Rogelio to find his own way in the Crimson Wastes.
For tropes that applied to him in the original show see She-Ra and the Princesses of Power — The Horde.
- All the Other Reindeer: He was constantly bullied and mistreated when he was in the Horde.
- Ambiguously Bi: He was in love with Rogelio and was interested in Lonnie. However, as Kyle unpacks more and more of his traumatic upbringing, he questions whether he was really in love with either of them or just clinging onto anything Rogelio wanted out of fear of losing him. Tellingly, he had a Shower of Angst in a flashback after he and Rogelio had a sexual encounter, suggesting the experience was traumatic. Kyle ends up realizing he isn't ready for any kind of romantic relationship and decides to be celibate, though he's advised to not close his heart off to love completely.
- Anthropomorphic Personification: Kyle often visualizes his repressed rage as a Snakeman version of himself called Repkyle. Often this visualization will be clawing or biting at the things Kyle is upset at.
- Ascended Extra: He was a minor character in the show and is the protagonist of the webcomic.
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: He takes over the Crimson Wastes from Lonnie via a duel.
- The Beastmaster: He commands a doglike beast named Scruffer. He also inherits control over the Guardians, the mad First Ones creations populating Eternia primarily on Beast Island
- Because You Were Nice to Me: He stays with the Twigget sisters because they treat him kindly.
- Better as Friends: Kyle realizes he and Rogelio were in a toxic dynamic where he wanted Rogelio to be everything to him in life, which was extremely suffocating to Rogelio and caused him to prefer Lonnie, who he viewed as an equal rather than someone to be pitied. Thus he lets Rogelio and Lonnie go to be happy together.
- Black Swords Are Better: The sword Kyle eventually wields is black rather than the blue of She-Ra's sword.
- Butt-Monkey: Deconstructed. Kyle's existence as a Butt-Monkey left him heavily traumatized and malnourished with a great deal of repressed anger.
- Celibate Hero: After Chapter 9, Kyle acknowledges he's not ready for a relationship due to his trauma and what he both went through and put Lonnie and Rogelio through. Even if he were, he's overall oblivious to advances both men and women put on him.
- Childhood Friend Romance: Subverted. While he entered a relationship with Rogelio and Lonnie, Lonnie wanted nothing to do with him and Kyle leaves the relationship at the start of the comic. Parodied when Kyle sees a universe in which he and Adora were the last First Ones left and needed to repopulate the line of Castle Greyskull.
- The Chosen One: Subverted when Kyle sees other universes in which he took up She-Ra's sword and the title of He-Ro, taking over the Horde and joining the Rebellion in fighting Horde Prime. He later becomes King Jared's heir, the Last of the First (Ones).
- Cool Shades: Kyle inherits King Jared's visor, which can access all of Jared's memories and knowledge.
- Cool Sword: He inherits King Jared's sword. Said sword is similar technology to She-Ra's sword, but made of a pitch black material that absorbs and can release stored magic at will.
- Dragged into Drag: Played for drama in Chapter 11 where the False God emasculates Kyle by dressing him up as a bride against his will whilist driving him further into madness.
- The Engineer: Kyle takes an instant shine to technology and ends up modifying First Ones technology to suit his needs.
- Extreme Doormat: In flashbacks. Kyle's arc is about moving past his doormat status and beginning to stand up for himself.
- Eye Color Change: His eyes go from brown to blue after he inherits King Jared's power.
- Ghost Memory: As a result of Jared combining his life force with Kyle's, Kyle gained some of King Jared's memories, which come to him every so often.
- Good Is Not Soft: As Kyle grows in confidence, he begins to stand up more and more for what he knows is right, even at great risk to himself.
- Going Native: Kyle at first joins the Twigget sisters and their way of life, and later becomes a member of the Beast Rider tribe.
- Grew a Spine: His refusal to do what Sprat told him to blindly marks the first steps towards him growing a spine and becoming a more confident person.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: For all his flaws, Kyle has his heart in the right place, symbolized by his golden hair.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation: Kyle has a great deal of self-hatred. It takes him a very long time to grow out of it.
- Interspecies Romance: He was in love with Rogelio in the past and even wanted to become a Snakeman with magic to be more appealing to him. Subverted when Kyle unpacks their relationship and realizes Rogelio pitied him and felt responsible for him rather than genuinely loved him, and he himself was using Rogelio as a Living Emotional Crutch.
- Led by the Outsider: He becomes King of the Beast Riders due to inheriting King Jared's power. Downplayed as he returns control to Korg and J'Milla as soon as the Wastes are brought back under order. Lampshaded as early as Chapter 9, where Korg expresses disbelief that the tribe's chosen one would be an outsider.
- The Load: Kyle was incompetent at best in his Horde days. He's aware of this status and works hard to become a more adept fighter as the comic progresses.
- Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: He's sensitive and kind of a doormat while Lonnie is aggressive and demanding at times.
- Mental Fusion: King Jared fuses the last of his soul with Kyle to save him from the remnants of the Black Garnet's magic. While Kyle is the dominant personality, he talks about gaining a new wanderlust, as well as missing places he'd never been and craving food he'd never tasted prior as a result of the merge.
- Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: He leaves Lonnie and Rogelio because of their abuse, and strikes off on his own as the Crimson Fury when he begins getting into arguments with his friends during his Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
- Mythology Gag: Kyle calls himself "Adam" when having to give a false identity in the north, a nod to Prince Adam in the original He-Man comics and the fan theories that Kyle was going to become He-Man.
- Nervous Wreck: Kyle begins as one due to his severe trauma. He grows out of it as the series progresses, though very stressful situations will still bring out his nervous side.
- Nice Guy: Zigzagged. While Kyle appears kind and docile, he carries a great deal of repressed anger and hatred for the Horde. The webcomic's first arc has him learn to deal with his rage in healthy ways and while it takes a long time, he becomes a better emotionally-rounded Nice Guy again. He's so nice he feels slimy at the merest mention of gossip, even against people who've wronged him in the past.
- No Social Skills: Korg and Sprit discuss this in relation to Kyle in Chapter 8, with Sprit revealing Kyle had wildly inappropriate ideas about sexual boundaries in both familial and friendly relationships as a result of his upbringing in the Horde.
- Polyamory: Subverted. While he was ostensibly in a relationship with both Rogelio and Lonnie, Lonnie found him repulsive and wanted nothing to do with him.
- Primary-Color Champion: After gaining King Jared's power he takes on a red ensemble with gold and blue accent colors.
- Red Baron: He acquires many titles over the course of the story, such as the Crimson Fury and The Last of the First.
- Red Is Heroic: Kyle idealized a hero from the past called the Red Knight. Fittingly, his transformation is primarily red with gold and white accents.
- The Scapegoat: Played for Drama. Kyle's status as the scapegoat left him a wreck of a person who clung onto the barest scraps of kindness he was given, making him an emotional burden on both Rogelio and Lonnie and causing them to resent him more. His choice to break this dynamic kicks off the story's plot.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The comic begins with him leaving Lonnie and Rogelio.
- Shower of Angst: He had one after what's heavily implied to have been a traumatic sexual encounter with Rogelio.
- Token Good Teammate: He used to be one in the Horde.
- Took a Level in Badass: Kyle starts off as the Butt-Monkey of the Horde but gradually grows into The Chosen One.
- Trauma-Induced Amnesia: Overlapping with Laser-Guided Amnesia. As a child Kyle was defiant and unwilling to serve the Horde. Shadow Weaver experimented on him with the Black Garnet to suppress his memories, leaving him as a Blank Slate via causing him so much pain he forgot his past.
- Younger Than They Look: Deconstructed. Kyle is in his twenties but looks like a teenager due to his malnourished and poor upbringing.
- Your Days Are Numbered: After Kyle uses The Portal to regain his memories of his father, the magic that Shadow Weaver used to suppress them begins to corrupt, slowly killing him. This is part of why Kyle becomes to engrossed in his Roaring Rampage of Revenge; he sees it as his last dance and the only way he'll get closure for his past mistreatment. He is cured by undergoing Mental Fusion with King Jared, which cures the corruption.
Imp
Imp
Hordak's former pet. He joins Kyle on his journey through the Crimson Wastes, becoming his friend in the process.
For tropes that applied to him in the original show see She-Ra and the Princesses of Power — The Horde.
- The Millstone: He nearly got Kyle killed by eating all the rations Kyle brought with him immediately. Averted later, when he becomes a perfect intel gatherer and trap-setter for Kyle due to his ability to mimic anyone's voice.
- Speaks Fluent Animal: Imp is revealed to be able to speak to Scruffer in Chapter 13, helping in making Scruffer a saddle that he would enjoy.
- Speaks in Shout-Outs: Repeats what he hears in a perfect imitation of the person's voice. This is the only way he can speak until late into the comic's first act.
- The Unintelligible: Imp starts out as one, only able to mimic phrases he heard from others to somewhat get his point across. Subverted when he learns to piece words together and make sentences of his own.
- What the Hell, Hero?: He calls out Kyle for nearly killing himself and plenty of other former Horde members with a First Ones bomb when Kyle is in his Crimson Fury phase.
Scruffer
Scruffer
A beast from the Crimson Wastes who selects Kyle to be his lifelong bonded companion.- All Animals Are Dogs: Scruffer is essentially a giant dog.
- The Chooser of the One: According to
Word of God, Scruffer is part of a species bred by the First Ones for their brand of She-Ra as well as their own soldiers, allowing a candidate to bond with their master and ride them into battle as warriors past. - Horse of a Different Color: Kyle rides him into battle like a horse, making him Kyle's equivalent to Battle Cat and Swift Wind.
Crimson Wastes
The Twigget Sisters
Sproc, Sprit, and Sprag
Sproc, Sprit, and Sprag
Three Twiggets who live together as a family. The family comprises of Sproc, Sprag, and Sprit.
- All the Other Reindeer: Sprit once faced discrimination due to her height and inability to cast magic, which gave her great distress. She learned to fight to compensate for these shortcomings.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: They all have purple skin.
- Dirty Old Woman: Played for Laughs. When Sproc accidentally ingests too many giggleberries she starts putting the moves on Korg, much to her sisters' horror and his confusion.
- Gender Flip: Sproc and Sprag are based off of Sprocker and Sprag from the original She-Ra: Princess of Power cartoon.

The Beast Riders
A tribe of warriors living in the Crimson Wastes. They are descendants of the First Ones who colonized Etheria in the far gone past, but in the present day they are a shadow of their once-proud selves.
Tropes that apply to them as a whole:
- Adaptational Backstory Change: The Beast Riders in the original 80s cartoon lived on Beast Island itself. Since She-Ra and the Princesses of Power reimagined Beast Island into a Deadly Environment Prison, the author moved them to the Crimson Wastes instead.
- Bestiality Is Depraved: Played for Laughs. Lonnie calls their tribe a group of Kulwat-maters. Tondy protests immediately, only to accidentally reveal some tribe members did in fact marry their Kulwats, though he's shushed before he can provide context for this.
- Shout-Out: According to Word of God, their designs are heavily inspired by Wez from Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior and Rufio from Hook, as well as from the Beast Riders who lived on Beast Island in the original She-Ra: Princess of Power.
- Spear Counterpart: According to Word of God, the three main Beast Riders are male counterparts of the female Twigget Sisters, both serving as familial figures for Kyle.
- The Three Faces of Adam: Like the Twigget Sisters, the Beast Riders each occupy an archetype. J'Milla is the Prophet, Korg is the Lord, and Tondy is the Hunter.
- Tribal Face Paint: All the members of the tribe wear some degree of it.
J'Milla
- Reasonable Authority Figure: He insists on his son following Beast Rider tradition surrounding duels despite Kyle's disadvantageous position.
Korg
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: He is not above begging Kyle and the Twiggets to save Tondy from Lonnie's clutches, despite the two at the time being enemies.
- The Atoner: He deeply regrets having tried to join the tribe with the Horde in the past and at present has Undying Loyalty towards his brother.
- Big Brother Instinct: Despite being Tondy's uncle, he has a brotherly relationship with Tondy and will resort to anything to protect him. This instinct later applies to Kyle as well.
- Heel Realization: He realized he was in the wrong to join the Horde when he saw how joyless the orphaned children who served as cadets were. He realized he could never bear to subject Tondy to such a fate and returned to his family, begging for forgiveness.
Tondy
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He starts off as a rude, racist jerk towards Kyle and the Twiggets, but he shows his softer side after Kyle rescues him from Lonnie and the two become friends.
The Oracle of Darkedge
The Oracle
A mysterious woman who lives in the ancient Castle Darkedge. The Beast Riders must go to her to seek out any guidance on serious matters, leading to Kyle meeting her after he saves Tondy from Lonnie.

- Cool Old Lady: She serves as a grandmother role to Kyle and is also a powerful oracle.
- The Chooser of the One: She is meant to identify the Chosen One who will reawaken King J'red. Downplayed, however. While she gives Kyle King J'red's sword, she tells Korg Kyle is merely a candidate for the chosen one. Subverted when Kyle's prophetic dreams meant he was the choice all along, but not the Oracle's- Jared's.
- The Dreaded: The Beast Riders are nervous about having to go see her due to her authority, and Kyle is afraid she will immediately dismiss him. Subverted when it turns out she's really a kindly old woman.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Her real name is never stated, and she just goes by "the Oracle".
- Expecting Someone Taller: Kyle goes in expecting the Oracle to be a beautiful young woman similar to the Princesses. It turns out the Oracle is really an old woman.
- Expy: Of the Sorceress from He-Man, except as an old woman.
- Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: She is forbidden from leaving Castle Darkedge and abides by this rule until Kyle subdues the Crimson Wastes, which she feels she must see herself.
Lonnie
Lonnie
Kyle's former friend and the current leader of the Crimson Wastes.
For tropes that applied to her in the original show see She-Ra and the Princesses of Power — The Horde.
- Adaptational Jerkass: In the main series canon, she began to respect Kyle better after Protocol and according to Word of God entered a relationship with Kyle and Rogelio both. At the start of the webcomic, she's gone right back to abusing Kyle despite him saving her life and is repulsed at the thought of being in a relationship with him.
- Always Someone Better: What Lonnie struggles with. She lived under Adora's shadow, then Catra's. Her inability to mold Kyle into a good fighter caused Commander Cobalt to withhold praise from her.

However, unlike Adora and Catra, who confessed their feelings for each other and made up, Kyle and Lonnie realize there's just too much hurt and trauma between them and while they ultimately bury the hatchet, neither wants to be around the other again for a very long time.
- Hidden Depths: She was instructed to make Kyle into a good cadet, and her failure to do so caused her a great deal of trauma from her Parental Substitute Commander Cobalt.
- Interspecies Romance: She's in a happy relationship with Rogelio.

- Tomboyish Name: "Lonnie" is often attributed to males.
- Ungrateful Bitch: She went right back to abusing Kyle after the events of Protocol, resulting in him leaving. When Rogelio immediately wanted to go find Kyle, she shrugged off his disappearance and convinced Rogelio that Kyle probably was having another tantrum for not being invited to the sleepover.Word of God says the aftermath of Protocol was the "Honeymoon phase" of the cycle of abuse, and the relationship cycled back to the "Tensions phase" once they abandoned the Fright Zone.
- We Used to Be Friends: She tries to call Kyle out on leaving her group, only for Kyle to retort that he was never her friend and only her punching bag.
- Worf Had the Flu: In her final duel with Kyle, she's mentally unstable and not yet used to her prosthetic hand. Meanwhile, he's just become a newly Empowered Badass Normal and resolved the worst of his rage. He runs circles around her.
Rogelio
Rogelio
Kyle's former Love Interest and Lonnie's current boyfriend.
For tropes that applied to him in the original show see She-Ra and the Princesses of Power — The Horde.
- Accidental Murder: Has a dream where Kyle almost murdered him as a child due to his resemblance to Kyle's childhood stuffed dragon toy; Kyle hugged him so tightly he nearly suffocated. Whether the dream is based on past events or symbolic of Rogelio's mental state is never made clear.

- Interspecies Romance: He's in a relationship with Lonnie, a human.
- Lizard Folk: He's a Snakeman.

- Polyamory: His species is polyamorous by default.
- Taking the Bullet: He takes a lightning bolt meant to kill Lonnie and just barely survives.
- The Unintelligible: He communicates with roars and growls. Subverted as Lonnie learned to understand him at some point before the webcomic takes place, so we are able to understand most of what he says.

For tropes that applied to her in the original show see She-Ra and the Princesses of Power — The Horde.- Girliness Upgrade: While she's still a muscular scorpion woman, Scorpia's gone from sporting a short haircut to wearing a longer braid as part of Perfuma's influence on her.
- Heroic RRoD: Kyle not wanting to play into her idea of found family triggers Scorpia and causes her to snap and lose control of her powers and mind.
- Jerkass to One: Deconstructed. Scorpia has a reputation as a Nice Girl among the former Horde members, but was still a bully towards Kyle, leading him to distrust her and not want to be around her.

- Madness Makeover: He looks much more aged and unkempt upon being reunited with Kyle. Showing Kyle's kidnapping took a toll on his psyche.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Played with. Mach has bright red eyes, similar to Null and Entrapta which tends to intimidate others. However, he fought against the Horde duiring the First Alliance, and aspires to be a heroic figure.
The Mad King (unmarked spoilers!)
King Jared of Etheria
First of the First Ones
The First King of Etheria and last of the line of Greyskull. Rendered immortal through the use of a spell, he has been sealed away for thousands of years, awaiting someone to reach him in his crypt.
- Ascended Extra: King Jared is a character mentioned in the episode "The Crown of Knowledge" the 1985 animated series She-Ra: Princess of Power. He is a very important figure in Kyle Saga.
- Authority in Name Only: When he was crowned King of Etheria, it was with the understanding he was really to be a puppet ruler for his father and stepsiblings. When he rebelled against his father, he started a decades long civil war.
- Bad Powers, Good People: He has the ability to Grand Theft Me anyone who comes down to his crypt, but he chooses to instead mentally fuse with Kyle to save his life.
- The Beastmaster: Jared created the Guardians, the ultra-large and ultra-dangerous beasts that populate Etheria. Since he created them, they follow his commands to the letter.
- Delicate and Sickly: He was a sickly boy in life. His lack of health caused him to be shunted out of the crown prince role of Eternia and relegated to the relative backwater of Etheria.
- The Dreaded: To those who are aware of his existence, anyways. Apart from the Beast Riders, most live in fear of the King of Monsters. Sproc was especially virulent in her hatred for him.
- Elemental Embodiment: In the current day he's made up entirely of fire. Part of the spell to induce immortality involved burning his body away completely.
- Foil: To Hordak. Both were sickly offspring of an emperor desperately seeking out their parent's approval and both were highly skilled engineers. However, whereas Hordak only left Horde Prime at the last moment, King Jared led a rebellion against his family with long-lasting consequences for Etheria.
- The Gadfly: He had the First Ones text on the door to his crypt send anyone who could read it on a long and pointless quest. The real way to open his crypt was simply to accept that one had the power and to agree to go in alone.
- Man on Fire: Part of the price for his soul's immortality was that he had to burn alive.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: He is called J'red, the Mad King, or the King of Monsters. He also exploited this in-universe, calling his castle Darkedge to make it sound more intimidating.
- Sickly Child Grew Up Strong: Ironically, once Jared came to Etheria his quality of life drastically improved and he became a stronger person. It helped that he was no longer being starved by his Wicked Stepmother and he ran away from his castle prison.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He traveled Etheria and learned of its vast magical potential as a young man. Him telling his father that Etheria had potential is what caused all the pain and suffering the She-Ras went through and the conversion of Etheria into a superweapon.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: He desperately sought out his father's approval after his father married his cruel stepmother, with tragic consequences.
- Who Wants to Live Forever?: He's accepting of his death, finding immortality was a mistake.
Nabob (unmarked spoilers!)
Nabob/Null
King Jared's right hand man. An inventive young man who was involved with helping his liege in creating the guardians and many other inventions. King Jared sent Nabob away duiring his rebellion to keep him safe. However Nabob went on to fight The First Ones with all sorts of horrific inventions of his own under the moniker Null.
- Ascended Extra: He was a rather obscure First One in the UK edition of the 1986 She-Ra: Princess of Power comics "The Null-Stone of Nabob" and he grows in importance in each chapter.
- Animal Motifs: He is associated with spiders.
- Ax-Crazy: His sanity took a serious nosedive after he was captured and sent to Dryl. He appears unhinged in most of Kyle's nightmares about him.
- The Dreaded: The First Ones were terrified of him.
- The Beastmaster: Helped Jared create the Guardians, the ultra-large and ultra-dangerous beasts that populate Etheria. Later on, George and Lance state Null commanded an army of giant robotic spiders.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Nabob came from a lowly background with no magical skills. Many years later, he became a terrible threat upon Etheria.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: He is well-known for having red eyes, and is remembered as a threat to Etheria.
- Science Wizard: Despite being born without magical abilities. Null was able to harness magical power through technological means.
- Mad Scientist: Remembered as one duiring his lifetime. He is responsible for creating the virus that infected Adora/She-Ra in season 2.
- Villainous Legacy: While Null has been presumed dead for a long time, his creations still antagonize the heroes to this day. The murder-virus that corrupted Adora as well as the robotic spiders Light Hope can replicate for She-Ra to train against come to mind.
Other
The False God (unmarked spoilers!)
The False God
The Man Behind the Man for Horde Prime himself. The False God is a mysterious and cruel entity that opposes the Goddess, seeking to subjugate the entire universe. He seeks a champion to once again influence the world...
- Animal Motifs: He is represented through bats.
- Demonic Possession: How he influences his "champions". He sought to possess Kyle by driving him off the deep end and forcing him to submit to his will.
- Gods Need Prayer Badly: A variation. He's only a threat with a champion by his side to actually carry out his will, which is why he attempts to drive Kyle over the edge of villainy.
- Greater-Scope Villain: He was the force behind Horde Prime himself and sought to control the entire universe, making him responsible for the war between Horde Prime and the Eternians that resulted in Etheria being made into a superweapon and for the creation of the Horde in general.
- More than Mind Control: How Kyle describes his influence. Kyle at first felt powerless to his will, but The False God still needed to offer him things he wanted, and Kyle is eventually able to break free using his anger as a focus point to break his control.
- No Sense of Personal Space: Just like when he was corporeal - he gets in Kyle's personal space repeatedly to the point of kissing him whilist posing as Lonnie and Rogelio in a predatory and creepy fashion. Telzy remembers being chipped as "absolute submission" as well as having her mind and spirit "stripped and probed" by Horde Prime.
