->''"Imperfection is what makes scientific experimentation possible. Imperfection is beautiful. At least to me."''
Entrapta is cheerful and eccentric. Many things set her
-----
* AdaptationalAchillesHeel: If some cool piece of technology shows up, consider her gone for the foreseeable future. Perfuma was infuriated by this during their infiltration of the Hordelands and Netossa also notices this.
* AdaptationalSexuality: Downplayed given we don't exactly see anything, unless you count the suggestive EyebrowWaggle that came with personal time to work on Darla, but her previous incarnation was not a {{Robosexual}}. WordOfGod has confirmed she's bisexual at the very least. [[spoiler:Since ultimately the only person she shows any kind of affection towards is Hordak, she may have a SingleTargetSexuality]].
* AdaptationalHeroism: She's with the Rebellion this time. Well, at first. Her technological curiosity, coupled with a feeling of being abandoned, leads her to join up with Catra for a while, before she eventually goes back to the Rebellion.
* AdaptationalModesty: She's wearing overalls this time. While they have a few cut-outs here and there, her outfit leaves much less skin showing than in her original incarnation who was basically wearing a camisole.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the Filmation cartoon, she was said to be an [[AristocratsAreEvil evil aristocratic hunter]] who was trapped in the Whispering Woods as punishment for her crimes. Here, Entrapta is generally friendly, if admittedly rather creepy, what with her propensity for [[MadScientist building deadly weapons and taking people apart]].
* AdaptationDyeJob: A notable aversion. Her hair '''was''' purple in the original series, but given how some televisions were configured it could show up as orange. It was closer to the intended pink & purple with the toy line and in the comics. Here it's a solid purple and most viewers' screens will be able to show that.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: [[spoiler:Entrapta's only interactions with Hordak in the original series were that of a minion and master rather than any kind of friend, here they have a full-blown romance.]]
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Entrapta's reaction to seeing the cloning vats with Primes' clones and his guards is to gush and clutch at her hair, while Bow is panicking since they've been discovered.
* AdrenalineMakeover: [[DefiedTrope Defied]] she got a bit roughed up during her stay on Beast Island but changes there don't stick and she's back to her version of normal soon enough.
* AffablyEvil: Even after joining up with the Horde, she's as friendly as ever. Then again, she was more of a PunchClockVillain and didn't really believe in the Horde's cause, they just let her do the biggest experiments.
* AirventPassageway: ''Loves'' traveling via airvent, to the extent that when she's [[spoiler:on Horde Prime's ship]], which has no discernible vents, she wonders how anyone gets around, as if traveling that way is something perfectly normal that everyone does.
* AllLovingHeroine: Sees imperfections as beautiful and encourages others to not let their flaws define them. This is one of the reasons [[EvilOverlord Hordak]] develops feelings for her. Played with, however, in that she had a FaceHeelTurn and can be InnocentlyInsensitive at times.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: In Season 1, Entrapta struggled to fit in with the other members of the Rebellion, who looked askance at her eccentricities. [[spoiler:In Season 5, Entrapta is ''still'' an outsider among the princesses after returning to the Rebellion, and finds their condescension painful. She admits that she tried to help them using her technological knowledge so that they would like her, which shocks the princesses and ends with Entrapta running off with tears in her eyes.]]
* AmbiguouslyBi: Although her main romantic interest in the series is Hordak, she has a few minor moments with Catra and Scorpia. This also ties in with her apparent {{Robosexual}} leanings, she refers to Mara's ship as Darla, a feminine name, and her talk about spending "quality time together" with her for repairs has her raising her eyebrows suggestively in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS5E04Stranded Stranded]]". Still though, it stands to reason she has much less interest in fully biological beings.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Her skin has a noticeable tan and given what we see of Dryl's climate, it likely isn't just that she gets a lot of sun.
* AntiVillain: Even while working for the Horde, Entrapta isn't especially malicious, and is shown to be compassionate and caring towards Hordak when his disability is made known to her.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: She has this in spades, even when sneaking into the Fright Zone.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Catra actually showing interest in what Entrapta has to say goes a long way into convincing her to stay with the Horde.
* BeneathTheMask: Her interactions with Adora in Season 3 implies that, despite seemingly being over it in the previous season, Entrapta is still hurt by the Rebellion leaving her behind in the Fright Zone, but her distractible nature prevents her from dwelling on it. Notably, she lowers her mask while talking about it.
* BetterOffWithTheBadGuys: This becomes one of the main reasons for her defection to the Horde (alongside Entrapta's interest in their tech), when she was on the side of good she was treated with little respect by her fellow princesses and was often an outcast who received poor treatment with a few exceptions such as Bow. On the Horde, she made friends with Scorpia, Catra, Imp and importantly Hordak, with whom she bonded over their self-esteem issues, in addition to getting a high ranking position that let her tamper with all the technology she wanted. When she returns to the Rebellion's side, she's met with resentment and ostracization because of her prior actions with her quirks and personality only making it worse.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Entrapta and Hordak look like extreme opposites - he's a tall, straight-laced, bad -tempered clone of an unknown alien species while she is a small, cheerful [[HumanAliens human-appearing]] princess with a complete disregard for rules. However, they bond over their mutual loneliness, intellectual affinities, disabilities (Entrapta is autistic while Hordak has a degenerative disease) and rejection issues. During S4, both are forced back into their original positions because they might be useful for the opposite sides of the war. Hordak has to fit in among the other clones again with all vestiges of his personality wiped out and is under the permanent threat of a new reconditioning; Entrapta has to fit in the Rebellion again and repress her quirks to not irritate the other princesses, who haven't forgiven her time in the Horde. [[spoiler:Things get better for her, but she still gets little respect and eventually bonds with an adopted clone called Wrong Hordak, until the real Hordak returns.]]
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: While she's generally a nice person, her moral compass is otherwise tied to her tendency to do things ForScience. She sees nothing wrong with working for the Horde as long as they give her things to work with. She was unfazed when Hordak sent Catra on what he admitted was a suicide mission and when Hordak [[spoiler:confided in her about his past as an intergalactic conqueror under Horde Prime.]] However, this ultimately becomes subverted towards the end of Season 3 when [[spoiler:she finally realizes the portal she and Hordak are working on is too dangerous and they need to stop their experiment.]] And then it is subverted further, after [[spoiler:her time on Beast Island forces her to confront her repressed feelings about the way her friends have treated her. When she returns to the Rebellion, she makes it more clear that whilst she's still easily distracted by science and as quirky as ever, the risks she takes are fully motivated by helping her friends rather than purely being for science.]]
* BreakTheCutie: Though she was left for dead by the Alliance, the first real friends she'd ever had--leading her to villainy. But she took to her new life easily, throwing herself into her work and striking up a close partnership with Hordak. And just after she's settled into an easygoing partnership with him, [[spoiler:Catra electrifies her with a stun baton, sends her off to the lethal Beast Island, and completely ruins her relationship with Hordak with a lie]].
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: With Hordak. He's ashamed of his physical ailments but she encourages to see his perceived imperfections as beautiful.
* BrutalHonesty: Entrapta is compulsively honest, so some statements aren't related with the amount of tact a more diplomatic person might have.
* ByTheHair: Entrapta has her hair pulled by Adora in her debut episode "System Failure" so she would be saved by a rampaging robot. Since her hair is prehensile and sensitive to touch (she giggles when someone tickles it), it must hurt ''more'' than regular hair, but it still remains the easiest way to immobilize her in a confrontation.
* CallingCard: Her hacking of Prime's system leaves a small wire sketch of her face, this also appears in her home system.
* CassetteCraze: Keeps a running log on a portable tape recorder which definitely uses a tape given the mechanical rewind when she backtracks to check a previous log. She still digitizes them and puts them in Emily though.
* CharacterCatchphrase: She has several expressions unique to her:
** "TA-DA!"
** "''Fascinating''."
** "Tell me everything!"
* CleavageWindow: Her garment has a horizontal slit under the neck, though the simple art style prevents any cleavage from being shown. [[spoiler:Her Season 5 spacesuit keeps the opening.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Entrapta doesn't really know the meaning of restraint. If she is curious about tech she will study it no matter the cost. If she has an idea, like turning her castle into a [[BigLabyrinthineBuilding giant unnavigable labyrinth]], well, that's just Tuesday.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS1E08PrincessProm Princess Prom]]", she quickly sympathizes with Catra with her usual sense of defiance, and Adora has to remind her that due to affiliations, Catra is the enemy. Entrapta's reaction? "Oh! In that case, we should keep a better eye on her because she just walked away."
* CommonalityConnection: Although her and Hordak's personalities are largely opposite, they bond over their intellectual affinities and shared rejection trauma. Hordak was sent to die in the front lines by Horde Prime because of his degeneration caused by a genetic flaw. Entrapta was convinced by Catra that the princesses left her to die in the Fright Zone which she finds believable given that she always had trouble interacting with others. The point is the princesses weren't much nice to Entrapta, just tolerating her because they needed her techno-know how; so Entrapta had good reasons to believe she had been abandoned.
* CoolMask: Has a welding mask that looks interesting but her second one at Beast Island is an insectile piece that looks very cool.
* CordonBleughChef:
** She prepares soup for Hordak, but he recoils when she tries to feed it to him. When Imp sniffs the soup, he grimaces. Of course, ration bars are the Fright Zone's only known foodstuff. If that was the base of Entrapta's soup, small wonder it was unappetizing.
** In [[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS3E06ThePortal "Portal"]], she serves a platter of ''metal scraps'' to her guests.
* CreepyGood: Besides being an amoral scientist, she lives in a dark and shadowy castle filled with death traps and creepy robots with a handful of terrified servants as her only human company. Despite this, she's a gregarious and caring personality, she just has no social skills and less self-preservation. She does join the villains later, but that seems to come from the belief that her friends abandoned her. She's less 'outright evil' and more 'curious to a fault'.
* CuriosityCausesConversion: A rare negative version, the Horde can offer Entrapta infrastructure technology and other resources including mysteries that the Princess alliance can't. None of the manacles they use to keep her chained last as she's just fascinated with them.
* CuteButCacophonic: She's a short, wide-eyed, energetic woman who can be ''very'' loud.
* {{Cyborg}}: According to a Patreon Q&A, [[WordOfSaintPaul Ray Geiger]] says her PrehensileHair is the result of cybernetic implants.
* DefiantCaptive: After being taken captive by [[spoiler:Horde Prime, Entrapta gives him a short ReasonYouSuckSpeech while he agonizes over the uprisings against the universe, gleefully telling him why he will never beat the Rebellion]].
* DidntThinkThisThrough: She manages to narrowly escape being fried by flame vents, but rather than informing the other princesses, she just hides in the vents assuming they'd come back for her. It doesn't even occur to her that they would rightly assume such a situation should have killed her. After a couple of days, Catra catches her sneaking around.
* DisabilityImmunity: [[spoiler:Her hyperfixation on First One technology makes her virtually immune to (or too busy to receive) the Signal on Beast Island until Adora and Bow turn up and force her to deal with emotional stuff she's repressing. When she does succumb, Adora snaps her out of it by offering her a look at a First One ship.]]
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: She wasn't autistic in the original ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower''.
* DitzyGenius: She's not quite all there, and has a rather skewed sense of priorities. However, she's respected by those who know her as an extremely gifted and intelligent GadgeteerGenius.
* DramaticIrony: The Alliance is convinced that she was killed. Even when they learn that she's still alive, they're convinced she's a prisoner in need of rescue: it isn't until Catra finishes toying with Glimmer and Bow that they learn that she's happily working for the Horde.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Adora and Glimmer both scream when Entrapta "drives" Mara's spaceship in "Stranded" flying fast and taking several sharp turns.
* DubNameChange: Entrapta's name is "Tecnia" in the European Spanish dub, and "Tecna" in the Portuguese dub.
* EscapeArtist: Thanks to her gadgets and PrehensileHair it's impossible to keep her in restraints. She basically keeps her cuffs on out of politeness to her captors and takes them off whenever she sees fit or forgets she should be restrained.
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler:Despite her usual disregard for the consequences of her actions, even she is horrified when she realizes that opening Hordak's portal could very well destroy the fabric of reality itself, and would have tried to convince Hordak to stop, had it not been for Catra knocking her out and sending her to Beast Island.]]
* ExtremeOmnisexual: She has shown signs of attraction to other women, flirts with robots, has romantic feelings for Hordak and implicitly had sex with a spaceship.
* FacialDialogue: More like Mask dialogue but whenever Entrapta doesn't want to talk about something she'll flip down her mask. This is best seen in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS4E11BeastIsland Beast Island]]" where the mere mention of Hordak makes her quiet and withdrawn.
* FatalFlaw: [[CuriosityIsACrapshoot Curiosity]]. Usually not a flaw, but combined with [[TheUnfettered a complete disregard for consequence]], it very much can be. Even when something has a clear negative consequence (messing with the Black Garnet caused havoc on Etheria's climate), she still considers it worth it as long as she learned something. Netossa's strategy for her is simply tossing a random piece of tech across the room so that she'll chase it.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: [[spoiler:After learning of her banishment to Beast Island the Rebellion decides to rescue her, however in Season 5 it is shown that there's still quite a bit of tension between the other princesses and Entrapta for betraying the Alliance for which they [[WhatTheHellHero angrily confront her]]. While the other princesses eventually forgive Entrapta, she never forgets what she's done and makes a conscious effort to save Etheria and join the Rebellion for real this time. According to WordOfGod, this is one of the reasons she is so easily able to forgive Catra, because they both made big mistakes but she believes they can learn from them and become better people.]]
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Played with. Her seeming death leads to [[BreakingTheFellowship the reborn Princess Alliance to fall apart again]], and Adora flashes back to her a couple of times after that. However, she isn't actually dead, but she herself is led to believe to have become this by Catra assuming the princesses abandoned her and playing on that assumption.
* ForScience: Her scientific curiosity makes her completely disregard the consequences of her experiments, to the point she both joins the Horde and almost kills the entire planet for her experiments. She doesn't seem to understand one could value something else beyond science as the end goal in and for itself.
* GadgeteerGenius: Without a doubt, Entrapta's greatest asset is her technological genius. She makes various robots and machines for the Rebellion, reprograms a Horde battle bot to companion-bot Emily, and makes a First Ones-tech enhanced Mark II line of new battle bots, nicknamed EKS (Emily's Kid Sister)1-4. She keeps an OlderThanDirt spacecraft functioning in the crushing void of space with no one dieing
* GenkiGirl: Perennially peppy and inquisitive in the face of almost any situation.
* GeekyTurnOn: Anything technology advanced enough or interesting can get her going, the girl has some wires crossed. In fact her major interest in the portal technology Hordak has is what starts their friendship as she completely ignores his intimidating behavior to focus on her new obsession.
** In [[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS5E02Launch Launch]] she starts flirting with the Prime probe that is scanning her.
* TheGlomp: At the end of "Heart, Part 2", [[spoiler:she happily throws herself around Hordak after Adora exorcises Horde Prime's consciousness from his body.]]
* HarmlessElectrocution: Has a habit of being electrocuted: when she was first introduced she took enough voltage to make her [[XRaySparks skeleton visible]] but then she picks up the conversation like nothing happened. She takes a few zaps every season with no ill effect.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Entrapta doesn't hold any particular allegiance to either side of the war, and changes sides twice. She first decides to leave the Rebellion after feeling that they betrayed her by leaving her behind, joining the Horde purely because they have technology that she could study and improve on, and then rejoins the Rebellion after they rescue her from Beast Island.
* HeldGaze: [[spoiler:With Hordak in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS3E02Huntara Huntara]]". In Season 5, the two secretly meet near a Galactic Horde spire and share another held gaze.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS3E02Huntara Huntara]]" reveals that Entrapta is more emotionally mature than she first appears and is quite philosophical about things such as imperfection, failure, and her own outsider status.
** In Season 4 [[spoiler:she is shown to be deeply insecure about her perceived failure to bond with others. She takes every abandonment as a personal failure and wants to remain on Beast Island partially because there is an abundance of technology, but partially because she feels she has no place with other people.]]
* HoldingHands: [[spoiler:She and Hordak hold hands when they secretly meet in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS5E11Failsafe Failsafe]]". He shows her the LUVD crystal he is holding in his hand, and she places her hand in his.]]
* HollywoodAutism: Subverted. Entrapta has poor social skills, is obsessed with tech, and will only eat tiny food; thus, often coming off as creepy to other people. However, she is outgoing and curious, able to empathize with her friends, and uses her skills with tech to help them despite not being good with people. She also has a unique viewpoint, that imperfection is beautiful and her character development has her learn to be more aware of how her actions affect other people [[spoiler:plus she gets romantic subtext with Hordak]].
** ND Stevenson confirmed in a tweet that Entrapta was written as autistic and there was even a storyboard artist on the spectrum who helped come up with her movements and character arc.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: She collaborates with Hordak, who is considerably taller than she is. The top of her head only reaches the middle of his chest.
* HypercompetentSidekick: As ditzy as she is, Entrapa's genius makes her an invaluable part of any group she's in. She's instrumental to both the Horde and Rebellion. Had she remained with the Rebellion, Adora's struggles with First Ones tech would be moot. Her [[spoiler:exile from the Horde]] is even a plot point as Hordak struggles to fill the gap.
* ICallItVera: Entrapta loves naming her robots. She names a Horde battle robot "Emily" and Mara's ship "Darla".
* InexplicablyAwesome: Why does she have PrehensileHair? How is she so good with technology? Who knows? Unlike the other princesses, her powers aren't drawn from a Runestone, as she's explicitly not "elemental". Her hair may well be [[BizarreHumanBiology a natural biological function]]. A Patreon Q&A eventually revealed that her hair is the result of cybernetics.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: A common issue, in her [[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS1E06SystemFailure début episode]] when diagnosing Adora's infected condition she clarifies that she'd need to open her up to get the full details which only horrifies Glimmer who thinks she actually intends to do such a thing.
** It's shown in [[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS5E02Launch Launch]] Entrapta really does miss Glimmer and is going the extra mile there to try and get the princesses to like her again because she feels bad for what she did. She's just really, really bad at communicating that, and unfortunately easily distracted (something she is aware enough of to use her hair to slap herself before she gets caught up admiring the tech to stay on task), so the rest of the princesses assumed she was being callous.
* InstantExpert: Played straight when dealing with Horde technology which is arguably justified since everyone on Etheria is working off of leftover First Ones tech. [[spoiler:'''Galactic''' Horde tech takes quite a bit longer.]]
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: She's the only expert on her level with First Ones tech that the Rebellion possesses. [[spoiler:That doesn't last long as she stays in greener pastures when stranded in the Horde lands.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: She begins a romance with Hordak, a member of a different species.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A specific, thematic melody, with some similarities to the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' or ''Film/EdwardScissorhands'' theme, plays in the background in many scenes involving Entrapta.
* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Averted. She wears heavy-duty mechanics clothes no matter the circumstances, as she's constantly tinkering with technology.
* LatexSpaceSuit: [[spoiler:She wears a form-fitting spacesuit during a tethered space walk in Season 5.]]
* MadnessPlace: When Entrapta's working and focused she can not be diverted. Perfuma almost blows a fuse keeping her from dissembling the machinery in the fright zone. There are a few NoodleIncidents referenced about the various hijinks here experiments can get into. Emily has apparently exploded ''fifty times'' but Entrapta kept working on her.
* MadScientist: Her experiments are always first in her thoughts. The consequences come ''maybe'' second, even personal safety. She's a more well-meaning example of the trope, however.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Serves as one for Hordak along with being his MoralityPet.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: [[https://twitter.com/gingerhazing/status/1137154616125034496 Technically]], it's [[WordOfSaintPaul Ray Geiger]] who says Entrapta has cyborg hair, not Stevenson who seems to consider it magic.
* MeaningfulEcho: "Princesses! I'm saved!" in Season 1, echoed by "Princesses! I saved you!" in Season 4.
* MeaningfulName: Her name is Entrapta. Her castle is covered with – and she's always building – traps. It also sounds similar to "contraption", fitting her general mechanical aptitude. Her kingdom's name of Dryl is a near homophone for a drill.
* MicroDieting: Entrapta, eccentric that she is, exclusively eats food in comically tiny portions, although it's not dieting so much as a preference. She just eats several tiny meals to compensate.
* MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: Entrapta gets so caught up in her research, she doesn't stop to consider the results even when they're literally earth-shattering. [[spoiler:She almost completes Hordak's portal before even ''bothering'' to run simulations that show it would likely destroy the whole planet.]]
* MiniMecha: [[spoiler:During her time on Beast Island, Entrapta built a gorilla mecha out of technology she presumably scrounged.]]
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Catra makes Entrapta believe that the princesses deliberately abandoned her to get her to join the Horde. [[spoiler:This actually comes to pass for real when Catra betrays her and ships her off to Beast Island.]]
* MoralityPet: After bonding with Hordak, she becomes someone the EvilOverlord considers a friend. [[spoiler:In "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS5E13HeartPart2 Heart, Part 2]]", Hordak attacks Horde Prime rather than obey an order to kill her, even after having been mind-wiped ''twice''.]]
* MundaneUtility: She uses her hair as extra hands and legs, mostly for operating tools in the lab.
* NerdyNasalness: Her voice is nasally, except when speaking softly.
* NiceGirl: While her social skills are rather lacking, Entrapta is kind and cheerful to basically everyone, even after she joins the Horde.
* NightmareFetishist: Extreme danger doesn't do anything to hinder her sense of wonder.
** While describing [[spoiler:a world-destroying TimeCrash]], Entrapta has to cut off giddy laughter to admit it would be a bad thing.
** [[spoiler:Beast Island is usually thought of as a PlaceWorseThanDeath, but it's a dream come true to her because it contains so much First Ones' tech.]]
-->'''Entrapta:''' [[spoiler:An island full of technological monstrosities, each more deadly than the next? It's paradise!]]
** [[spoiler:The dangers of space travel frighten Bow but excite Entrapta.]]
-->'''Bow:''' [[spoiler:You can't take apart the ship while we're inside the ship. Did you forget about the, I don't know, crushing void of space?]]
-->'''Entrapta:''' [[spoiler:I love thinking about the crushing void of space!]]
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: At the start of Season 3, Entrapta sticks up for Catra and convinces Hordak not to exile her to Beast Island. Catra repays her a few episodes later [[spoiler:by knocking her out and exiling ''her'' to Beast Island to keep her from warning Hordak about the dangers of the portal technology before lying to Hordak that Entrapta had betrayed him.]] Later on though, [[spoiler:we see Entrapta [[KarmicJackpot practically considered it a blessing]] because of all the LostTechnology she could find on the island]].
* NoListeningSkills: Her [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny ADD]] {{Cloudcuckoolander}} tendencies leave her almost incapable of holding onto a single train of thought for a full minute to an almost TooDumbToLive stature, nearly abandoning her post multiple times when she and the other princesses break into the Fright Zone and easily talking herself into breaking into Hordak's sanctum after Catra made it as explicitly clear as possible that it was off-limits. She herself lampshades this in Season 5.
* NominalHero: Entrapta has very little morality outside of ForScience, and the time she spent supporting the Rebellion was coincident on them basically asking first. At one point Adora even has to remind her she is a member of the Rebellion and Catra is their enemy. [[spoiler:After rejoining the Rebellion in the last season, the other princesses chewing her out [[HeelRealization makes her regret her past actions]], and focus on doing good for its own sake.]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She often gets in people's personal space and touches people with her hair. When Scorpia and Catra interrogate her, she slips out of her manacles, touches Scorpia's stinger with her hair, and asks for a sample of the venom. In "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS3E01ThePriceOfPower The Price of Power]]", she squishes Catra's cheeks with her prehensile hair [[spoiler:and cheerfully announces that she saved Catra's life. In "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS3E02Huntara Huntara]]", she tries to feed an unwilling Hordak soup, repeatedly gets in his personal space demanding to know why he's unwell, manhandles Hordak in order to fit him with a new cybernetic exoskeleton, and touches his shoulder with her hair several times.]]
* NoSocialSkills: Entrapta prioritizes her own research above her social life and prefers studying the relationships of others over actually creating her own. Her bio also mentions that she's often misunderstood by her peers. Catra even states that Entrapta is likely not used to being around people in general.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Entrapta's allegiance isn't just flexible, it's nonexistent--she takes [[ForScience the best research opportunities presented to her]], regardless of who offers or what they'll do with it. She does want to have personal relationships but if you can replace those she'll switch over without much trouble. [[spoiler:It's only in the last season that she makes a deliberate, focused effort to assist the Rebellion.]]
* OddFriendship: A relentlessly cheerful woman who befriends Hordak, an antisocial warlord.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Online comments from character designer Ray Geiger state that Entrapta is in her late 20s to early 30s. Several fans incorrectly assumed that Entrapta was a teenager, due to her short stature and exuberant demeanor.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: She excels at computer technology and engineering, but also has enough medical knowledge to [[spoiler:build an enhanced exoskeleton for Hordak to help him compensate for his worsening medical condition, and remove the Chip prime put on Catra while in firefight, this is leaving aside her self installed cybernetic hair]]. While collaborating with Hordak, she also increases her knowledge about interdimensional portals, which would require mastery of advanced physics.
* PerkyFemaleMinion: She becomes one for the Horde due to her quirky nature.
* PerkyGoth: Her character designer's cited cybergoth as a style influence, and it tracks: the dark purples throughout her outfit, the intimidating mask with glowing red eyelights, the long oddly-colored tendrils of hair, the massive steel-toed platform boots. There's also her dark, foreboding castle on the side of a mountain. All these qualities contrast nicely to her lively disposition.
* PetTheDog: In "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS5E05SaveTheCat Save the Cat]]", [[spoiler:she and Bow unwittingly damage Wrong Hordak, disconnecting him from the hive mind. Entrapta adopts him, not only because he can help them navigate the ship, but because she feels obligated to take care of a clone she broke. Considering what Horde Prime does to "defective" clones, Entrapta saved Wrong Hordak's life and soul by taking him out of the ship.]]
* PickyEater: Will only eat tiny food and drink fizzy drinks.
* PrehensileHair: Exaggerated. She can use her long hair as extra hands, and it's strong enough to support her weight. She can also use it in combat situations to snare or trip up enemies, as seen while fighting Rogelio in ''[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS1E09NoPrincessLeftBehind No Princess Left Behind]]''. Entrapta is even shown climbing and walking using just her hair.
* ThePromise: {{Averted|Trope}} She says "[she]'ll [[ReunionVow come back]]" for the unnamed gorilla Mech she created on Beast Island but that's never shown.
** According to Word of ND it's eventually PlayedStraight: Entrapta always keeps her promises and in fact ''does'' reunite with it when she goes to Beast Island with Hordak.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: Inverted. [[spoiler:Due to being sent to Beast Island, she's removed from the ending group shot in the Season 4 opener]].
* PutOnABus: After she is [[spoiler:shipped off to Beast Island]] toward the end of Season 3.
** TheBusCameBack: Finally returns in the last few episodes of Season 4 and sticks around until the end of the series.
* RaisedByRobots: Implied. No mention is made of her parents and a "family portrait" that is shown in her castle is that of robots. Would partly explain her social awkwardness.
* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: While [[spoiler:taken captive by Horde Prime, Entrapta witnesses him become enraged over the revolts taking place across the universe and tells him he doesn't understand what makes the Rebellion strong, and therefore he will never win]].
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Whenever she makes a particularly evil decision, she's shown flipping her welding mask down, which sports glowing red eye holes.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: While the members of the Rebellion think she died, she actually survived and is now with the Horde.
* ReunionVow: Makes one to the unnamed gorilla mech she met or constructed on Beast Island. According to Word of ND they'll meet again when Hordak does his Community Service on Beast Island and Entrapta accompanies him.
* RevealingSkill: Entrapta's builds; especially with First One's tech are recognizable to knowledgeable people like Bow, though he comes to the wrong conclusion that she's being forced to make the robots.
* {{Robosexual}}: Implied. She has strong romantic tension with [[spoiler:Hordak, a cyborg, and the two become a couple at the end of the series.]] She also flirts with a battle droid in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS5E02Launch Launch]]", and remarks that she wants to have "quality time" with Darla (Mara's ship) while seductively cocking her eyebrows in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS5E04Stranded Stranded]]".
** During a June 9, 2020 [[https://youtu.be/zOFJHXBGDoc Twitch livestream]], showrunner [[WordOfGod ND Stevenson]] said that Entrapta has lots of robot [[ReallyGetsAround boyfriends and girlfriends]].
* RobotMaster: Oh yes, from her debut episode she can be seen using them for various household tasks and when she joins the Horde she ''massively'' increases their military capabilities thanks to the materials they can give her to work with.
* RoughOveralls: Entrapta wears overalls over the entire series, even during the Princess Prom. In the first half of the series, she wears them like pants with the upper parts hanging loosely, matching her carefree attitude. At the end of Season 4, she appears in Beast Island wearing them correctly with the suspenders on her shoulders, as a hint [[CharacterDevelopment that she has become aware of the consequences of her actions.]]
* RuggedScar: Has a claw mark on her right cheek during her exile to beast island showing she didn't survive there unscathed. It disappears as soon as she's on the Spacecraft though.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The quirky Energetic Girl to Hordak's serious Savvy Guy.
* TheScapegoat: [[spoiler:After Catra sends Entrapta to Beast Island to conceal the danger of opening the portal, she also claims Entrapta lead the Rebellion into the Fright Zone, when it was actually Shadow Weaver (whose escape Catra was responsible for).]]
* ScienceRelatedMemeticDisorder: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as she has an actual neurological difference that we'd recognize as high functioning autism. When attempting major experiments, she can go far beyond her usual happy-go-lucky curiosity, and step into full MadScientist territory.
--> '''Entrapta''': Alright, everyone... Let's... get... weiiird...
* ShadowArchetype: To Bow. They both combine great technical skills with a friendly and upbeat attitude, but Bow has a functional moral compass and Entrapta kinda doesn't.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: She's a genius and also one of the shortest characters in the series, though it's sometimes hard to tell because she raises herself up to other people's height using her hair.
* ShoutOut: Ray Geiger, the [[WordOfSaintPaul Lead Character Designer]] confirmed that Entrapta's cyber-hair was inspired by Music/HatsuneMiku and her personality by [[Film/Ghostbusters2016 Jillian Holtzmann]].
* TheSmartGirl: For the Rebellion, [[spoiler:and later for the Horde:]] Entrapta continually researches and makes robotics and machines. Considering Bow's status as the Rebellion's "tech specialist", it's likely they share this role.
* SoupIsMedicine: [[spoiler:She makes soup, badly, for Hordak after he collapses in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS3E02Huntara Huntara]]."]]
* StarCrossedLovers: [[spoiler:With Hordak, with whom she has romantic tension. After their friendship blossomed in Season 3, Catra exiled Entrapta to Beast Island and lied to Hordak about her whereabouts, telling him that Entrapta returned to the Princess Alliance. When Hordak is beamed on board Horde Prime's ship, he and Entrapa are literally star-crossed. Fortunately, the two are happily reunited at the end of the series. Word of ND have them vacationing/doing Community Service on Beast Island afterward.]]
* StickyFingers: She has no moral qualms about petty theft. On two occasions, she has stolen someone else's food. When she needs a six-sided hex driver, she decides to sneak into Hordak's sanctum and steal one of his.
* SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic: Invokes this as the reason she can integrate First One tech into her devices. It's actually Magic-powered organic technology that harnesses Etheria's natural magic, but as technology it can be analysed and integrated into more profane tech.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Her hair does everything for her and for what little it can't she has attachments and tools for; in the series her hair is shown picking locks, piloting mecha, constructing devices and robots, and even performing surgery. You name it, this hair can do it.
* SwivelChairAntics: Gets up to some pretty intense spinning in the [[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS1E13TheBattleOfBrightMoon Season 1 finale]], ricocheting around her lab and updating her audio logs with the results from the Black Garnet modifications.
* TastesLikeFriendship: PlayedWith. She's quick to like lots of people, but mentions that she befriended Catra in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS1E08PrincessProm Princess Prom]]" because "she brought snacks". Catra however states that Entrapta "stole [her] food and asked [her] to spy on people". Both are arguably [[UnreliableNarrator unreliable narrators]], though Seasons 3 and 4 hint that it's probably the latter.
* TechnicalPacifist: Ironically, despite making countless weapons and conducting dangerous experiments, Entrapta seems very averse to deliberate acts of personal violence. Multiple times she's been attacked by other people and didn't even attempt to fight back.
* TechnoBabble: She can induce in that at times, complete with MotorMouth, and while what she says isn't very complex for the audience, the general technological savviness of those around her leave them completely lost.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Shares this with Scorpia when she's with the Horde.
** Entrapta's definitely a MadScientist with very little concern for the consequences of her experiments, but a quirky, friendly one who's kind to others and doesn't really hold grudges, even when it would be pretty understandable. She even manages to touch Hordak's softer side. She's no longer an example as of Season 4, though; after her exile to Beast Island at Catra's hands, she's eventually rescued by Bow and Adora, meaning that she's returned to the Rebellion. With both Entrapta and Scorpia gone Catra has no anchors avalible and things predictably all go to hell.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Downplayed. She's not subject to actual torture but Catra has a difficult time interrogating her because she is [[BrainsAndBondage way too comfortable being restrained]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Downplayed. Entrapta doesn't have a specific favorite food but specifically likes to eat ''tiny'' food, and also drink anything 'fizzy'.
* TrapMaster: [[PunnyName Predictably]], Entrapta's castle is built like a labyrinth and filled with traps of her own design.
* TurnTheOtherCheek: Entrapta doesn't hold grudges nor live in the past. [[spoiler:When she and Catra meet again, Catra is worried she will try to kill her, which Entrapta finds understandable because Catra shipped her off to Beast Island, and stole her technology which almost destroyed the world. However Entrapta assured her that it's all over now and forgives her rather easily]].
* UglyGuyHotWife: A conventionally attractive [[HumanAliens human]] woman in a romantic relationship with a big scary alien (though this Hordak is [[AdaptationalAttractiveness less grotesquely ugly than previous versions]]).
* UltimateBlacksmith: Entrapta's skill with invention is second to none and because of her abilities both the Rebels and the Horde want her to make weapons for them.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Even after everything that has happened, Entrapta still has faith in Hordak and wants to help him in Season 5.]]
* UnEvilLaugh: She has bursts of unstable laughter when she gets excited about a project, but her snorting gets across that she isn't malevolent.
* UptightLovesWild: Another possible explanation for how [[spoiler:she and Hordak get along]].
* UselessWithoutCellPhones: In her introductory episode, thanks to her computer tablet (and thus GPS) also being affected by the technology virus, she can't even find her own bedroom in the labyrinthine castle she herself designed.
* UtilityPartyMember: She's not useless in a fight but Entrapta's advantage in the field comes from fixing malfunctioning technology or building it as a battle is raging around her. Throughout the series she demonstrates mobility, lock picking, code cracking and information gathering abilities that gives whatever side she's on a major advantage. She's instrumental in the Finale not by being on the front line but by making the keystone to destroy the KeystoneArmy.
* VagueAge: Ray Geiger, [[WordOfSaintPaul Lead Character designer]] pegs Entrapta as a short adult of 25-35 years old, but many fans [[OlderThanTheyLook assumed her to be a teenager closer in age to Adora]].
* VerbalTic: Draws out the first "a" sound in "fascinating" (e.g. faaaaaa-scinating~!)
* VileVillainLaughableLackey: She becomes Hordak's Laughable Lackey part-way through Season 2, as she isn't even remotely fazed by his menacing demeanor and is able to talk to him as an equal on tech, something the otherwise [[TheDreaded unapproachable]] Hordak appreciates. They end up developing a VillainousFriendship, and even end up falling in love.
* VillainousFriendship:
** She and Scorpia seem to get along pretty well after she joined the Horde.
** She develops one with Hordak of all people after impressing him with her technical skills. He may be a BadBoss and a cold-hearted jerk in general, but being able to talk to someone as an equal is clearly a rare pleasure for him. [[spoiler:Mentioning his name returns her memories in the [[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS3E06ThePortal Season 3 finale]].]]
** Despite being manipulated a great deal by Catra she's genuinely friendly with the girl and even takes steps to save her life. She's seen hanging out with her aboard Darla and forgives her past behavior.
* WalkingSpoiler: It is hard to talk about her character in much depth without mentioning her joining the Horde in the show's first season to form the show's TerribleTrio.
* WeaksauceWeakness: As demonstrated by Netossa, Entrapta is easily distracted by tech to the point of completely disregarding everything to investigate it. This causes her to literally walk right into danger on a number of occasions, putting herself and everyone else at risk. Also, due to her dearth of combat skills [[spoiler:grabbing her hair can effectively immobilize her]].
* WeakButSkilled: She doesn't have much physical strength but her hair can be used to immobilize people, it's just that some people can brute force through that, both seen in the fight with Rogelio. But it's not her fighting skills that make her such a [[UtilityPartyMember valuable ally]].
* WelcomeBackTraitor: [[spoiler:The princesses go out to rescue her despite her previous association with the Horde. Only Glimmer objects, and that was as much because she didn't think it was as urgent as other issues. This is downplayed after Entrapta actually is rescued, as it's shown [[TheFriendNobodyLikes most of them resent her]] for her glib attitude and [[InnocentlyInsensitive apparent selfishness]].]]
* WillTheyOrWontThey: She develops a rapport with [[spoiler:Hordak]] with significant romantic tension. [[spoiler:Both are separated from each other before it can go anywhere.]] Later on, [[spoiler:the two are happily reunited at the end of the series.]]
* WorldsSmartestWoman: Goes from making Robots to totally overhauling a nation's infrastructure to taking down a galaxy spanning technopathic network. All while working in a programming language whose last living speaker can't help her with. She may be the smartest woman in the galaxy.
* WrenchWench: Probably Etheria's most technologically proficient citizen, she's practically always seen working on or gushing over tech. She's also never out of her mask, overalls, and heavy gloves--even at a royals-only gala that only happens once every ten years.
* TheXenophile: Entrapta has dedicated her entire life to studying First Ones tech to the point where she can barely think of anything else, enamored with the very idea of space-travel when the option presents itself and has gotten herself into one life-or-death situation after another ForScience. This also extends to the Horde's technology, constructing her robot companion Emily out of discarded robot parts, helping Hordak build his portal and giving a suggestive, borderline flirtatious remark to a Galactic Horde robot drone just as it was about to kill her. [[spoiler:It seems very appropriate that her love interest - Hordak - is a cyborg/clone alien invader who relies on her mechanical ingenuity more than anyone else.]]

Changed line(s) 429,432 (click to see context) from:
* CanonForeigner: Has no counterpart in the original show.
* MacGuffinGuardian: Guards the Chamber of Queens from intruders, and so isn't really a villain. This is emphasised by it leaving the Best Friend Squad be once Glimmer puts the lantern in the altar.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: The main threat to the Best Friend Squad in [[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS4E01TheCoronation "The Coronation"]], but besides that is of little importance and never appears again
* SandWorm: More caterpillar-like than the usual, and dwells underground rather than in the desert.

to:
* CanonForeigner: Has AccidentalTruth: Double Trouble fakes having [[spoiler:Farsight]] to keep their cover as [[spoiler:Peekablue]] by repeating intel on [[spoiler:Adora and co. from working for Horde Prime]]. However, they mention [[spoiler:She-Ra using her sword]], raising Scorpia's suspicions since it had been destroyed, which Double Trouble was unaware of. A few episodes before, [[spoiler:Adora became She-Ra again and manifested a new sword]].
* [[ActionGirl Action Enby]]: Their sole fight scene is when they are disguised as the female Catra. They prove to be quite skilled, able to challenge She-Ra.
* AdaptationalAchillesHeel: Downplayed. The original Double Trouble had nocounterpart real weaknesses to speak of. This version suffers an unusually adverse affect to being [[spoiler:stung by Scopia]]. Most who are [[spoiler:stung]] simply fall unconscious, but when it happens to Double Trouble, they fall into ConvulsiveSeizures while rapidly switching appearance, ruining their disguise.
* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: The original Double Trouble was a cisgender woman who only used her shapeshifting powers to turn into other female characters. Here Double Trouble is non-binary and unrestricted by gender or species in their transformations.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The original Double Trouble was a loyal, heroic TheMole for the Rebellion. This one's a sadistic, amoral criminal mercenary whose main redeeming features are that they're a ConsummateProfessional. [[spoiler:However, they're equally happy to take the Rebellion's money.]]
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: They were human in the 80s toy line and are distinctively reptilian looking in this adaptation.
* AffablyEvil: In contrast to the rest of the cast, Double Trouble has no personal stake in the war and therefore holds nothing against the characters, despite spending a whole season manipulating them. Unlike Catra, who causes pain due to her own issues, Double Trouble simply performs the job they were hired to do and enjoys the drama they create.
* AlienBlood: It's blue.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Double Trouble has light green skin in their default form, [[spoiler:pink skin as Flutterina]], [[spoiler:blue skin as Peekablue]], and grey in [[EarlyBirdCameo Princess Prom]].
* AnimalEyes: Double Trouble has eyes similar to a reptile. Chartreuse green ones, complete with slitted pupils and dark green nictitating membranes.
* AnimalMotifs: A shapeshifter with lizard-like features? Yep, Double Trouble was definitely designed with chameleons in mind.
* AppleOfDiscord: DT's favourite hobby is to sow discord amongst others whenever possible, tearing enemies apart by targeting an individual's insecurities, and they've managed to turn it into a highly lucrative career.
* AscendedExtra: Double Trouble was never in the original cartoon, only appearing [[ToylineExclusiveCharacter as a toy]] and in a single comic. In the reboot, Double Trouble becomes a major player behind the events of Season 4, and received a lot of hype surrounding their introduction to the show.
*MacGuffinGuardian: Guards AttentionWhore: Double Trouble will direct all and any attention to themself through their over-the-top dramatic and grandiose personality. They'll even be looking to ''Hordak'' for attention, so clearly they don't care where it comes from.
** The reason they stopped [[spoiler:working for Horde Prime]] was because they realized [[spoiler:brainwashed]] people make for a terrible audience.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Double Trouble doesn't study characters just for impersonation, but also to predict and anticipate what that person will do.
* BackForTheFinale: Like Huntara and Entrapta's kitchen staff, Double Trouble [[spoiler:makes an appearance during theChamber series finale to fight Horde Prime's forces]]. They are seen having returned to the Crimson Waste and [[spoiler:pretend to be a clone in order to get close enough to shove two real clones off a cliff]].
* BadGuyBar: Their new place ofQueens work after [[spoiler:betraying Catra and getting bored working for Horde Prime]], is an exclusive, secret club full of unsavory individuals. They perform there regularly as [[spoiler:Swen and Peekablue]].
* BeigeProse: While they usually like to use dramatic phrases in their dialogue, when they're bored, annoyed or someone is telling them to speed it up, they will use very blunt language. Though it usually goes right back to being dramatic.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Their campy demeanor and flair for the dramatic belie the fact that they are capable of turning friends against each other or exploiting people's insecurities. Not to mention that their only ''real'' allegiance is [[IFightForTheStrongestSide whoever they believe is on the winning team.]]
* BizarreAlienBiology: Whenever someone is [[spoiler:stung by Scorpia]] they instantly fall unconscious and are temporarily paralyzed after waking up. For Double Trouble, before passing out, they shapeshift uncontrollably as though they are having a seizure and revert to their default form.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Double Trouble does not care whether or not what they do is 'good' or 'bad', to them, and society is just a big dumb machine. Theatre and chaos come first and foremost, followed by self-preservation. Everything else is secondary.
* BluffTheImposter: [[spoiler:While posing as Peekablue at a club, they are approached by Scorpia who wants to recruit Peekablue. When they mention '[[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay getting into character]]', she immediately becomes suspicious and says she met him once at an event Perfuma was hosting. When 'Peekablue' appears to recall it, she reveals Peekablue and Perfuma have never met]].
* BondOneLiner: "And... scene." Double Trouble says this after they believe that they've effectively sown chaos.
* BreakThemByTalking: Proves to have a talent for this.
** They reduce one of their foes to a near-suicidal state this way. [[spoiler:Double Trouble calls upon Catra's various insecurities while switching between the forms of Hordak, Shadow Weaver, Scorpia, Adora, and Catra herself. Then following up by revealing how they led the Horde troops to their demise, and that the rebels have a superweapon capable of wiping out the Horde. By the time Glimmer shows up, Catra doesn't even try to defend herself and tells Glimmer to finish her off.]]
** They pull the same stunt earlier, while "accidentally" spoiling details about the Horde's plan. [[spoiler:While speaking with Hordak, Double Trouble mentions Entrapta being absent fromintruders, Bright Moon, and pretends to believe that Hordak was in on the charade, casually exposing Catra's betrayal. After they leave, Hordak destroys his lab in anger, weeping. That's right. Double Trouble made Hordak ''cry'']].
** Double Trouble does this to the Princess Rebellion. They reveal precisely how they've screwed up everyone's plans by confessing that [[spoiler:the Horde has attacked Salineas. When the princesses resolve to stop the carnage, Double Trouble explains the battle has already happened; Double Trouble was just bait, meant to keep the princesses occupied]]. This leaves Mermista despondent and the Alliance more broken than ever.
** They do this to Perfuma, Scorpia and Sea Hawk when they're forced to deliver intel on [[spoiler:Horde Prime]]. Double Trouble annoyedly recounts what they've been up to [[spoiler:since the invasion]], and slowly begins dropping horrifying facts about [[spoiler:the Horde chipping people]]. They explain that [[spoiler:Catra was saved by Adora]] before segueing into an ominous speech on how [[spoiler:Horde Prime is going to kill the Rebellion's friends in space]], horrifying everyone.
* BrutalHonesty: Invoked. Glimmer eventually manages to get her truth spell right and hits Double Trouble with it, making them unable to lie to her. Double Trouble still manages to BreakThemByTalking all the same by detailing exactly what the Horde has planned, [[spoiler:revealing Horde Prime is already on the way, Glimmer's forces are so fractured that they'll be beaten in under an hour, and that the Rebellion is going to get absolutely crushed]].
* BullyingADragon: They intentionally piss off Hordak [[spoiler:by not-so-subtly hinting that Catra betrayed him]], and taunt him over his feelings for Entrapta.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Double Trouble is obsessed with theatre to a ridiculous degree, melodramatic as all hell and worryingly passionate about causing chaos. None of this stops them from being brilliant at their job. If anything, it ''helps''.
* {{Camp}}: Positively ''oozes'' it. They have the mannerisms and speech of a stereotypical gay theatre performer or drag queen, and a suitable flair for the dramatic.
* CantTakeCriticism: Although Double Trouble enjoys hearing feedback on their 'performances', they do ''not'' like negative reviews.
* CardCarryingVillain: They are the only character to never make an attempt to apologize or justify their actions to anyone, making it clear they are willing to cause massive amounts of destruction without feeling a shred of guilt. They also warn their employers in advance that their loyalty is to whoever is paying them.
* CaptainErsatz: Their traits of shapeshifting, being a villainous spy, having a true reptilian form, and androgynous fashion, are reminiscent of Zam Wesell from ''Franchise/StarWars'': ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', who is [[https://www.queerty.com/noelle-stevenson-jacob-tobia-talk-bringing-genderqueer-awesomeness-ra-season-4-20191105 ND Stevenson's favorite "Star Wars" character]] and [[https://twitter.com/Gingerhazing/status/1285303300322017280 someone he's noted as]] [[https://www.oprahdaily.com/life/relationships-love/a34100347/noelle-stevenson-coming-out-story/ a major childhood hero of his.]]
* CheshireCatGrin: Flashes one whenever they're carrying out a good plot, which is most of the time.
* ConsummateProfessional: Despite being openly and cheerfully sadistic, they're surprisingly good at only indulging their appetites in ways that will help their employer and fulfill their mission. They're actually a remarkably helpful, supportive employee until someone presents them with a more lucrative counteroffer - and they make sure to warn their employers of that, too.
* CombatStilettos: Subverted. While Double Trouble is always seen wearing pair of high-heeled boots in their true form, they have only ever been seen fighting while using the bodies of characters who don't wear heels.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:This time around, Double Trouble and Flutterina are the same person: the latter is a fake identity Double Trouble uses to infiltrate the rebels. It's not clear if there's a real Flutterina out there somewhere or if Double Trouble just made her up completely, but either way the audience only knows Flutterina as Double Trouble's alter ego.]]
** In Season 5, the Rebellion briefly returns to Elberon, and the inhabitants of the village are seen quite a few times throughout the season. [[spoiler:Flutterina]] is never seen among them.
** Double Trouble's ShapeshifterDefaultForm also resembles Whiplash (or the other Caligars), with the pointed ears, green skin, tail, claws and semi-reptilian appearance.
* ConvulsiveSeizures: Instead of simply falling unconscious like the other characters do when [[spoiler:stung by Scorpia's tail]], Double Trouble drops to the ground and shapeshifts uncontrollably as though they're having a seizure before passing out.
* CoolestClubEver: After [[spoiler:betraying Catra and getting bored pretending to be a Horde Prime clone]] Double Trouble gets a new job as a performer at an ultra-exclusive and cool BadGuyBar. They do this disguised as [[spoiler:Peekablue]] since they thought having an exotic identity would help make money.
* CoolUncle: [[spoiler:They become something akin to this toward Adora and Catra's adoptive child, Finn.]]
* CoverIdentityAnomaly: Double Trouble performs at a club disguised as [[spoiler:Peekablue]], a known ''hermit'' no one has seen in years. Subverted since it's not an oversight on their part, they just thought it was an exotic identity that could make them money.
* CrocodileTears: Discussed. When Glimmer's truth spell finally works on Double Trouble, the first truth they reveal is a personal shame: they can't cry on cue. Double Trouble has to imagine children falling to get tears [[EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor of laughter]] and pass it off as sadness.
* CulturedBadass: An adroit actor and runs a frankly amazing [[BadGuyBar underwater speakeasy club]] that takes a direct attack from prime to close down. This lizard definitely appreciates the finer things in life.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Chartreuse eyes, chartreuse hair.
* DarkIsEvil: The first character on the show to wear an entirely black outfit, and a world-class villain.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the TokenEvilTeammate. Double Trouble only cares about their own self-preservation, making money, and having fun doing evil. But this means that they have absolutely no loyalty to anyone and aren't even going to bother to pretend otherwise. Thus, Double Trouble will turn on their teammates when they decide doing so is to their advantage, has no problem sitting out a conflict if they decide they don't care to help either side, and is ultimately a WildCard who will do what they want, when they want, without caring about the consequences as long as they aren't directly at risk.
* DefiantCaptive: A villainous example. [[spoiler:While held captive by the Rebellion, Double Trouble refuses to divulge any information and mocks Glimmer when she repeatedly fails to use a truth spell on them. Subverted later when Glimmer succeeds, but Double Trouble is happy to spill their guts anyway, since they tell Glimmer that she doesn't have a chance against Horde Prime.]]
* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: Downplayed. They purposely antagonize Hordak [[spoiler:to get him to attack Catra]]. Later, they [[spoiler:join the Galactic Horde by disguising themself as a Horde clone and learn some extremely crucial info on Horde Prime's plans before getting bored and leaving. ''Horde Prime'' himself didn't even notice someone had infiltrated his ranks]].
* DisneyVillainDeath: They do this to [[spoiler:two Horde clones by disguising themself as one to get close before shoving the two off a cliff]].
* DramaticPause: They're a fan of these.
* DramaQueen: They can be ''very'' dramatic, something they take pride in as an actor. Coupled with their shapeshifting, it's something to behold.
* DubNameChange:
** They are called "Doublia" in the French dub ([[ShesAManInJapan where they're referred to with female pronouns instead]]).
** In the Latin-American one, their name is "Doppler Morfer" and they are mostly referred to neutrally, except in one instance where they use "el", the masculine form of the particle "the".
** In the European Spanish dub, their name is "Dupla" and they were originally referred to by she/her pronouns during the first run. However, after fans pointed out the mistake, several dialogues were re-recorded in order to erase those gendered pronouns.
* EarlyBirdCameo: They can be seen in the background in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS1E08PrincessProm Princess Prom]]" at one point.
* {{Elfeminate}}: A non-binary elfish character with androgynous characteristics.
* EscapeArtist: During their introduction, Double Trouble brags they're one of these. During the show, they escape from handcuffs and a metal cage.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Subverted. Double Trouble witnesses massive amounts of destruction and utterly horrific acts by various parties and are never remotely fazed or concerned. [[spoiler:Even Horde Prime mind-controlling the Etherians en mass fails to garner a reaction]].
** Played straight on occasion however with [[spoiler:Scorpia's sacrifice]].
* EvilGloating: Weaponised. They like showing off how clever they are and revelling in the damage they've caused... but only if it'll distract someone in a way that benefits their employer.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Under Glimmer's truth spell, Double Trouble admits they imagine children falling to inspire tears of joy, because they can't cry on cue.
* EvilLaugh: They have a habit of doing this, though rather downplayed. [[spoiler:Excluding just before before they emotionally break Catra]].
* {{Expy}}: Double Trouble has very similar fashion sense and melodramatic body language to [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Envy]], who is also a bishie SmugSnake shapeshifter with [[spoiler:a reptilian green default form]].
* ExtraordinaryWorldOrdinaryProblems: Double Trouble is one of the few characters with a job, and the only one to make consistent references to it or look for new employment. During [[spoiler:Horde Prime's invasion]] their only concern is to figure out how they're going to get paid.
* FantasticallyIndifferent: When [[spoiler:Horde Prime invades Etheria]] Double Trouble's main concern is getting a new income source after [[spoiler:they betrayed Catra]]. They then infiltrate [[spoiler:Horde Prime's forces disguised as a clone, and learn a ton of extremely crucial info. They are never discovered, and only leave]] because they got bored and wanted to find a ''more interesting job''.
** When they're caught [[spoiler:by the Rebellion after they pose as Peekablue in a club, they casually tell them that half the crowd is currently under Horde Prime's thrall while displaying exactly zero interest or concern]].
* FauxAffablyEvil: Double Trouble is polite and courteous to nearly everyone, always appearing approachable and friendly. However, they drop this act a few times, such as [[spoiler:when Glimmer interrogates them, they do whatever they can to drive her up the wall, even outright insulting her]]. In the Season 4 finale, [[spoiler:they go a step further, and emotionally destroy Catra by explaining to her her flaws while turning into everyone Catra has ever cared about. They even stop smiling as they tell her everything she's worked for will be destroyed]].
* ForTheEvulz: Their main motivation for pretty much everything they do (aside from money). They find sowing chaos and discord personally satisfying.
* ForYourOwnGood: [[spoiler:Their given reason for giving Catra a BreakingSpeech. While what they said was [[VillainHasAPoint absolutely true]], they were also enjoying it ''way'' more than they had to.]]
* FurryReminder: Not to the same degree as Catra, but they're definitely a reptile, and show it by blinking their nictitating membranes and occasionally licking their eyeballs.
* TheGadFly: Once they're outed as TheMole they become this. They purposely piss off Glimmer at every opportunity, loving every minute of it.
* GenderFlip: Double Trouble was female in the original toyline, as they didn't appear in the original cartoon. They're androgynous and non-binary in this show, and are referred to with gender-neutral pronouns.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Their eyes glow in the dark.
* GracefulLoser: Played with. Double Trouble is usually affable upon defeat and is good at spinning losses in their favor, even complimenting Glimmer and Adora on their acting skills [[spoiler:after they fall for the girls' trap in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS4E07MerMysteries Mer-Mysteries]]"]]. However, they are also a highly uncooperative prisoner requiring threats and truth spells to get them to comply with anything and will insult their captors at every opportunity.
* GreenAndMean: Is green-skinned and is a slimy, cutthroat individual.
* HannibalLecture: When being interrogated by Glimmer, under a ''truth-spell'' no less, Double Trouble manages one of these. They tell her [[spoiler:Horde Prime is coming, and she doesn't stand a chance against him]]. They grin as they state this, knowing Glimmer will be reckless and desperate without her friends to aide her. [[spoiler:They're not wrong]].
* HazyFeelTurn: At the end of Season 4, it's doubtful that Double Trouble can be called either a true hero or a true villain. [[spoiler:They proceed to BreakThemByTalking on both Catra and Hordak, but they only really help the Rebellion because they're being paid to do it, they think the Rebellion is going to win, and [[ItAmusedMe because it's amusing]].]]
* HellBentForLeather: Wears:
** A shiny, strappy black bodysuit with cut-outs on the torso and translucent inserts
** Long black half-fingerless leather gloves
** Short black high-heeled leather boots
** And a leather strap around their tail.
* HiddenDepths: They're shown to be able to play the piano in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS5E07PerilsOfPeekablue Perils of Peekablue]]" when they impersonate someone named Swen.
* HiredGuns: They're a mercenary hired by Catra [[spoiler:and later, by Queen Glimmer in secret]], and make no secret of the fact that their loyalty only goes as far as the money does.
* {{Humanshifting}}: They have only ever been seen taking on humanoid forms, though they can take on the appearance of people with animalistic features. Strangely, Double Trouble themself has probably the least humanlike appearance of the forms they've taken.
* HypocriticalHumor: Double Trouble mocks Bow for leaving his 'abs' exposed as he doesn't own any 'real' shirts. They themself leave almost their entire midsection bare, save for a single strap down their stomach.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: [[spoiler:They join the Horde at first, but Glimmer is able to buy their loyalty after capturing them and demonstrating the Rebellion's wealth and military might. DT did consider joining Horde Prime, but being a mindless servant was ''not'' an interesting position to have]].
* ImpostorExposingTest: Scorpia figures out Double Trouble has disguised themself as [[spoiler:Peekablue]], but decides to out them by talking to them about Perfuma. When [[spoiler:Peekablue]] appears to know her, Scorpia reveals the two have never met.
* InexplicablyAwesome: Why are they a shapeshifter? Why are they a master manipulator? The plot may not tell us, but we don't need to know to appreciate them.
* TheInformant: During the ''[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS5E07PerilsOfPeekablue Perils of Peekablue]]'' when Double Trouble [[spoiler:gets captured by the Rebels, they attempt to shake the group down for money in exchange for the information they have on Horde Prime. Perfuma isn'treally impressed and gives them the choice to give it freely or have it beaten out]].
* InsufferableGenius: How they treat their skills in acting and reading people. WordOfGod says this was part of the reason for their [[spoiler:BreakingSpeech to Catra]], they wanted to display their talents by showing her they knew her better than [[spoiler:Catra]] herself, and in the process garner avillain. huge reaction.
* IShallTauntYou: Double Trouble repeatedly employs insults as part their strategy to drive Glimmer and Adora apart after they're discovered. They mock Glimmer over Adora's ability to order her around and later taunt her with the knowledge that [[spoiler:with Horde Prime on the way, the Rebllion doesn't stand a chance]].
** They later cruelly explain all of [[spoiler:Catra's flaws to her]], and take jabs at the fact that everything she's worked for will be torn down. This could either be considered an attempt to bring [[spoiler:Catra]] back to sanity, or conversely, make her even worse.
* ItAmusedMe: Double Trouble does not take the concept of war very seriously, causing massive amounts of chaos and damage to the whole world just because it was entertaining.
-->'''Double Trouble:''' Remember, this is supposed to be fun.\\
'''Catra:''' This isemphasised war.\\
'''Double Trouble:''' No reason it can't be both.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: Despite Double Trouble usually having good control over their powers, when [[spoiler:stung byit leaving Scorpia]] they fall to the Best Friend Squad be once floor and start spasming, transforming into Swen, Catra, Flutterina, Adora and Bow before reverting to their true appearance and passing out.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** Sure, their TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to [[spoiler:Catra]] is unnecessarily brutal and they're clearly just trying to BreakThemByTalking [[spoiler:and [[{{Sadist}} milking their betrayal for all it's worth]]]], but everything Double Trouble says is 100% true and something that [[spoiler:[[NeverMyFault Catra]]]] ''needs'' to hear.
** They're a slippery, untrustworthy backstabber who will [[spoiler:immediately turn on you if someone else offers them a better deal]], but as they point out, this is ''war'', and the only way to ensure your own survival is to [[spoiler:choose the winning side. NothingPersonal, they're just ''way'' more committed to saving their own skin than they are to any sort of idealogy or cause. Indeed, while people on both the side of the Rebellion and the Horde, who have personal stakes in the conflict, end up losing a whole lot, Double Trouble is able to walk out of the whole thing unharmed and unhindered]].
* KarmaHoudini: For all the chaos and strife Double Trouble creates, they never really pay for their crimes. Every time it seems like they'll finally get what's coming, they always manage to spin events in their favour. [[spoiler:Even imprisonment and Horde Prime's invasion fail to make Double Trouble see the error of their ways]].
* KickChick: Played with in that Double Trouble is not a chick. While fighting Adora as Catra, they are seen employing quite a few kicks, and later does a spinning-kick as [[spoiler:Flutterina]]. Later, when they're cornered by the Princesses, they opt to kick Adora in the shins.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler:While they refuse to talk at first, when Glimmerputs finally gets a truth spell to work, Double Trouble realizes the lantern jig is up, and agrees to be TheMole for the Rebellion in exchange for their freedom.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: They admit they're unable to fake tears properly, having to think of ''funny'' things if they have pretend to cry in order to cry out of laughter, and their idea of something funny to imagine to inspire tears of laughter is children falling.
* LargeHam: They're a stereotypical overdramatic actor with a deep and sincere love for showmanship, although as a ConsummateProfessional, they do make sure to tone it down to character-appropriate levels when they're on the job.
--> '''Double Trouble:''' ''[de-shifting from Catra]'' Ta-da! Thank you, thank you.
* LeanAndMean: A sleek, shifty addition to the Horde.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A waterphone-esque sound can be heard when they transform. It also plays when they first appear in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS4E02TheValleyOfTheLost The Valley of the Lost]]" and [[spoiler:during their breaking speech to Catra]].
* LiminalBeing: Double Trouble straddles categories and transgresses boundaries. As a non-binary character, they transcend binary gender categories. As a shapeshifter, they partake of many forms. [[spoiler:As a mercenary, Double Trouble sides with the Horde ''and'' the Rebellion at different points in Season 4.]]
* LittleGirlsKickShins: After being discovered as the Horde spy, Double Trouble, as [[spoiler:Flutterina]] is cornered by the Princesses. Unable to talk their way out, they turn around and kick Adora in thealtar.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: The main threatshin so hard she topples to the Best Friend Squad in [[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS4E01TheCoronation "The Coronation"]], floor.
* LizardFolk: Less lizard-like than, say, Rogelio and more like a half-elf, half-lizard; butbesides that they've a chameleon-esque tail, sharp teeth, reptilian nostrils, green skin, claws, and reflective/glowing eyes with slitted pupils and nictitating membranes--putting them in the same general neighborhood.
* LostInCharacter: Downplayed. According to themself, Double Trouble isof not only able to physically replicate people, but also become them emotionally. Double Trouble also has stated they can be lost in character and forget to transform back, but this is a rather minor issue.
* LuxuryPrisonSuite: Downplayed. They are trapped within a magical circle and have a rather nice chair to sit in. However, they have very littleimportance space and there are no lights.
* MakeupIsEvil: Though Double Trouble is less ''evil'' and closer to dangerously neutral, while impersonating [[spoiler:Peekablue]] they are seen applying mascara and are in possession of various cosmetics. Oddly enough the makeup does not transfer over to their true form.
* ManipulativeBastard: A non-binary version. As they themself will tell you, being able to change your appearance is only part of any effective subterfuge. Double Trouble considers themself a performance artist, getting into the character of whomever it is that they're disguised as. As such, they CantTakeCriticism.
* MasterActor: A point of pride for them is that they truly ''become'' the people they imitate, and they're always looking to improve upon their craft. Double Trouble wouldn't be nearly as dangerous if they couldn't successfully act and fool their enemies as well as change their appearance.
* MasterOfDisguise: VoluntaryShapeshifting is only part of what makes them so good at deception. Double Trouble will spend hours trying to perfectly mimic their target in all ways and takes great pride in doing so.
* TheMole: Double Trouble infiltrates the Rebellion under the guise of [[spoiler:Flutterina]]. There, they relay intel to Catra and even outright sabotage the Princesses. The damage they inflict doing this is monumental.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: A set of razor sharp chompers, often seen when they grin.
* MorphicResonance:
** Played with. Double Trouble's eyes are the only things visible when they revert to their true form, and unlike the rest of their body do not take time to change back. When they're disguised, the eyes are the audience's tell.
** Also as [[spoiler:Flutterina]]. In both forms they have a small nose, pointed ears, wide eyes, and a slim build. Eagle-eyed viewers will also notice their outfits bare some similarities. [[spoiler:Flutterina's]] blouse has yellow panels similar the cutout on Double Trouble's bodysuit, the sleeves are somewhat pointed, and they wear a choker resembling Double Trouble's collar.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Subverted. In contrast to characters like Scorpia, who has an instinct to sting people; and Catra, who regularly displays catlike mannerisms, Double Trouble neverappears again
involuntarily demonstrates any behaviors relating to the animal they resemble.
*SandWorm: More caterpillar-like TheNicknamer: They call Catra "Kitten", Sea Hawk "Hot Stuff", [[spoiler:Horde Prime]] "Big Brother", and pretty much everyone "Darling" or "Love".
* NobleDemon: They're one of the least sympathetic characters in the series, but they seem to have some sense of professionalism. [[spoiler:Before Glimmer offers them a higher payment]], Double Trouble are willing to save Catra's life, and remind her that they're OnlyInItForTheMoney when she thanks them.
* NonActionGuy: Played with. Double Trouble is non-binary and is capable of handling themself in a fight, [[spoiler:even able to go against the likes of She-Ra]]. However, they rarely engage in combat, preferring to rely on their ability to manipulate people and escape when things get dire.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: They like to act far more familiar with people than they actually are, getting up close and personal with absolutely no regard for theusual, other person's comfort. Catra even slaps them away when Double Trouble grabs her face.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: They couldn't care less who wins the war, they're just here to get paid anddwells underground have a good time.
* NothingPersonal: They like hurting people for money, but it's about pure sadistic pleasure rather than any specific malice. Throw enough money at them, and they'll happily break off trying to psychologically destroy you and be the best employee you could hope for... until someone else comes along with a better offer.
* NotSoStoic: Downplayed. They make it abundantly clear they don't actually care for anyone besides themself, and directly state they would have continued working for [[spoiler:Horde Prime]] if brainwashed people didn't make for a terrible audience. Despite this, they are seen looking genuinely concerned when [[spoiler:Scorpia pulls a HeroicSacrifice]].
* OhCrap: Their reaction when Scorpia appears in thedesert.club they work at, and even more so [[spoiler:when she starts to catch on to the fact that they aren't really Peekablue]]. They manage to downplay it, though unfortunately, not enough.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: While they love sowing chaos for fun, they're only in any cause for the money. [[spoiler:Shown best at the end of Season 4, where they take the Rebellion's money instead, and deliver a brutal TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Catra in order to BreakThemByTalking. While it appeared that Double Trouble was growing closer to Catra, they really just wanted her money and that was it. When Double Trouble said they were only in it for the money, they meant it; they're quick to remind Catra of this during their speech, which just breaks Catra even further.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Downplayed. [[spoiler:When Perfuma, Scorpia and Seahawk end up fighting a mind-controlled Mermista in an underwater club, Double Trouble points out just how stupid it is to start a massive brawl in an ''extremely delicate'' submerged bubble]].
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Double Trouble rarely expresses any emotion besides smugness or sadistic delight. The only time they get genuinely upset is when [[spoiler:they're partially paralyzed by Scorpia's venom and the Rebels are battling a chipped Mermista in an underwater club. Double Trouble angrily yells for them to stop fighting before they destroy the bubble and flood the place]], prompting everyone to run. [[spoiler:They're also genuinely shocked by Scorpia's sacrifice.]]
* {{Outlaw}}: According to Huntara, everyone in the Crimson Waste is an outlaw, and as a resident, it's likely Double Trouble is one as well. In fact, Double Trouble is very much a hardened criminal at heart, and will sell others out if the situation takes a turn for the worst.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: Double Trouble makes no attempt to accurately portray [[spoiler:Peekablue]]'s personality, since they perform at a club disguised as him while [[spoiler:the real Peekablue is a hermit]]. This confuses Scorpia, and while she decides she probably doesn't know what the word means, she eventually catches on.
* OutsideContextProblem: Nobody even knew shapeshifters existed until they showed up, which is a big part of how they were able to inflict so much damage. The idea that a spy might be able to flawlessly disguise themself as several people at once simply doesn't occur to anyone.
* OverlyLongTongue: Has a blue tongue, seen when they lick their eye in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS4E07MerMysteries Mer-Mysteries]]".
* PartialTransformation: Double Trouble has changed the tip of their tail into a spade and their hair to resemble [[spoiler:Entrapta's]].
* PerformanceArtist: They are extremely flamboyant and enjoy acting and drama to a ridiculous extent. After [[spoiler:they betray Catra]] they get a job as a performer at a club.
* PerpetualSmiler: Downplayed. When they're not impersonating someone and they aren't being dramatic as all hell, they will undoubtedly be smiling.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: [[spoiler:While posing as the female-presenting Flutterina, their skin is pink; while impersonating the male-presenting Peekablue, their skin is blue]].
* PhonyPsychic: While [[spoiler:posing as Peekablue]] Double Trouble fakes having his powers as part of the charade. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Scorpia figures it out]].
* ThePianoPlayer: While at the club, along with impersonating [[spoiler:Peekablue]] they also double as [[spoiler:the pianist, Swen]]. Turns out, they're pretty decent at playing.
* PointyEars: A rather large pair.
* PoisonousCaptive: Double Trouble is [[spoiler:uncooperative and refuses to speak to anyone, even mocking Glimmer's attempts at truth spells. However, when Glimmer finally does get the spell to work, Double Trouble gleefully hands over the information, obviously knowing full well that whatever Glimmer will do next will drive her and Adora further apart]].
* ThePowerOfActing: With their insane skills as an actor, they perfectly mimic the personalities and traits of whoever they are pretending to be, and even figure out how to [[spoiler:psychologically break Catra]] through character study.
* PrehensileTail: Long and green, like the rest of them.
* PrettyInMink: In their blink-and-you'll-miss-it background appearance at the Princess Prom, they wore a big fluffy purple coat.
* PretendToBeBrainwashed: Pulls this off against [[spoiler:''Horde Prime'']] off-screen, by infiltrating his ranks disguised as a [[spoiler:Horde clone]] which are all part of a HiveMind, so the pretending to be brainwashed came with the territory. It's particularly surprising they did so successfully, and without getting caught.
* PurpleProse: Their dialogue tends to edge into this when they're being particularly dramatic, and they use flowery wording to emphasize their points.
* PsychoForHire: Pursued a career as a saboteur for hire out of a sincere love for chaos and suffering. Unusually, the joy they take in their work makes them more professional and competent, not less.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a particularly brutal one to [[spoiler:Catra]]. They analyze [[spoiler:Catra's entire character, laying bare all her flaws and picking up where Adora left off in Season 3]]. But, what really sells it [[spoiler:is how they transform into everyone Catra has had a relationship with as they tell her she has pushed everyone away, and she only has herself to blame for everything that's happened]].
-->'''Scorpia!Double Trouble''': It's you. You drive them away, [[spoiler:Wildcat]].
* RedRightHand: They sometimes blink with their regular eyes, [[EyeDentityGiveaway disrupting their otherwise perfect shapeshifting.]]
* ReplacementGoldfish: Moments in Season 4 imply Catra wants to gain a new, more compatible friend in Double Trouble, at least subconsciously. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, their loyalty is for sale ''and'' they're not any kind of "friendly", although they at least have the decency to warn her of this before their inevitable betrayal.]]
* {{Sadist}}: A particularly dangerous example who's managed to find a way to turn their love of inflicting suffering into a strength rather than a weakness. They channel their sadistic urges into a highly lucrative career as a saboteur and troublemaker for hire, and they love their work so much that they'll never get careless or distracted out of guilt or boredom.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Scorpia gets Double Trouble to reveal they're not really [[spoiler:Peekablue]], their reaction is to bolt. Of course, they don't get that far thanks to Scorpia's stinger.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: When Double Trouble isn't impersonating someone, their "normal" form is an androgynous lizard person. On Twitter, series creator ND Stevenson and voice actor Jacob Tobia were asked if Double Trouble uses a preferred form, or if they just happen to look the way they do. The answer was that no one knows what they really look like, but it doesn't matter. Double Trouble has made their own identity.
** It's likely that their appearance is genuine, and was likely how DT was born, as when they briefly [[spoiler:lost control of their powers due to Scorpia stinging them, Double Trouble reverted to their usual form before falling unconscious]]. Of course, their own comments have left the situation ambiguous.
* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: When they don't need to hide their identity, they use their shapeshifting to accentuate their points to great effect, seeing as how they love to BreakThemByTalking. [[spoiler:They do it so effectively with Catra that she ends up crossing the DespairEventHorizon.]]
* ShapeshifterModeLock: [[spoiler:Scorpia's venom]] can inflict a minor version on them, causing Double Trouble to lose control of their powers and spasmodically switch between forms before reverting to their true appearance and losing consciousness. They aren't seen shapeshifting while still affected by [[spoiler:the venom]], though it's probable they just didn't have a reason to.
* ShapeshifterShowoffSession: Is hired by Catra to sabotage the rebellion, which they do using the identity of 'Flutterina'. However, upon being discovered as the traitor, they put their abilities on display by transforming into the various Princesses before reverting to their true form and introducing themself.
* ShapeshifterSwanSong: Downplayed. When Scorpia [[spoiler:realizes 'Peekablue' is actually Double Trouble and the shapeshifter tries to escape, she stings them, causing them to spasm on the floor and turn into a variety of characters before reverting to their true form]]. They aren't killed though, just knocked unconscious.
* ShapeshiftingHealsWounds: {{Averted}} as seen in their début episode Double Trouble keeps the scratches and other damage incurred across their forms, which is probably part of why they're more focused on infiltration than combat.
* ShapeshiftingSound: Commonly transforms with a liquid slurping sound effect, accompanied by a distinct hissing sound reminiscent of a rattlesnake's tail.
* ShapeshiftingTrickster: Are they ever. They use their shapeshifting to sow distrust within the Rebellion and takes pride in watching people's reactions while they fall for Double Trouble's tricks. In an interview with [[https://ew.com/tv/2019/10/24/shera-season-4-trailer-exclusive-video-noelle-stevenson-interview/ Entertainment Weekly]], ND Stevenson described Double Trouble as someone who cultivates "mischief and chaos" and loves every minute of it.
-->"Double Trouble sort of enters all of the character dynamics and kind of turns everything on its head because they are this new character who is sort of above it all and seeing the dynamics that they bring out in every other character. The character just has so much fun with what. They do and what they do to cause mischief and chaos, but they just enjoy it so much ... Double Trouble just brings this sense of fun. They really just want to have a good time."
* ShesAManInJapan: Is changed from non-binary to male in the Polish dub. The German sub avoids pronouns while the German dub uses male ones as well. In the French and Spanish dubs, they're a female, most likely because gender-neutral pronouns such as "iel" have yet to be fully recognized in the former language.
* ShipperOnDeck: They are quick to notice Catra's obsession with Adora.
* SmugSmiler: Double Trouble [[LargeHam cranks all their expressions a few ticks past standard]], so when they're smug, they're ''[[https://66.media.tumblr.com/9ddf571f8c4f9b970192a2a31ee8720b/dbd08a17f1eacd89-8b/s500x750/2d1b69b03bba33e9a934299041e4b41bb1dd1584.gifv extremely]]'' smug.
* TheSocialExpert: Their obsession with 'character study' leads them to become this. They easily analyze the people around them and use it to both perfectly mimic their targets and sow discord. This ability really bites [[spoiler:Catra in the ass when Double Trouble psychoanalyzes her insecurities and flaws, using it to deliver a BreakingSpeech]].
* TheSociopath: Double Trouble has never demonstrated genuine empathy for anyone, can easily fake their emotions, manipulates people for kicks, never feels remorse for their actions no matter how destructive, and needs constant stimulation which they get by causing chaos for everyone around them.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Their use of certain nicknames can fall into this when they adopt their normal mannerisms when otherwise transformed, like calling Catra "Kitten" while they looked like Adora. [[spoiler:Not that they're above invoking this with someone else's nicknames while using their appearance to make a performance more personal, as they used Scorpia's "Wildcat" for Catra when using her face to finish their BreakingSpeech.]]
** When Scorpia [[spoiler:tries to convince Peekablue to join the rebellion, he is preparing for a performance and tells her he needs to 'get into character'. This immediately tips Scorpia off]].
* SpaceElves: Described as a "[[OurGoblinsAreDifferent goblin]]-elf princess" by their V.A.
* SqueakyEyes: A rather unnerving example. Whenever they blink with their inner eyelids, it is coupled with a rather disgusting sound effect, adding to their inhuman nature.
* StageName: When asked on Twitter if Double Trouble is their real name, Jacob Tobia suggested it's probably a stage name, though ND Stevenson stated they're in a world where there are people called ''Castaspella'', so only Double Trouble themself would know.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Double Trouble- a shapeshifter who loves to cause chaos.
* TermsOfEndangerment: Double Trouble tends to call people they're working against 'darlings'. [[spoiler:When they betray Catra in the fourth season finale, they call her their previously AffectionateNickname for her, 'Kitten', in a mocking tone]].
* TokenEvilTeammate: Even compared to others in the Horde. Double Trouble is a shady criminal who doesn't care about loyalty or ideologies. Just whoever pays the most. [[spoiler:This is deconstructed in that Double Trouble is a hardened outlaw who ''will'' turn on their employer if someone else pays them or if the situation takes a turn for the worst. At the end of the day, Double Trouble follows the mentality of "every man for himself"]].
* ToughLove: After giving [[spoiler:Catra]] a [[BreakThemByTalking particularly brutal]] TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, when [[spoiler:a [[EtTuBrute hearbroken]] Catra]] asks how they can be so mean, Double Trouble claims "it's for your own good." [[VillainHasAPoint It's hard to disagree with them]].
* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Played with. No one ever attacks Double Trouble when they shapeshift, though their transformations are fast, it tends to scare people, they rarely engage in combat and they can also keep moving as they transform. In the fourth season finale, Catra never attacks Double Trouble when they transform, though this can be justified as Double Trouble already [[spoiler:[[BreakThemByTalking broke her emotionally]], and in any case she's also recovering from a lengthy and drawn-out fight against Hordak]].
* TransformationSequence: Much like She-ra, Double Trouble gets sequences of varying lengths. When they transform, it appears as their body turning entirely black, save for their eyes, with their silhouette rapidly distorting until they achieve the form they want.
* TreacherousAdvisor: They help out Catra the entirety of Season 4, giving her info on the rebellion, spying and sabotaging the Princesses. However, when they finally return to the Fright Zone after being 'held up' in Bright Moon, [[spoiler:they advise Catra to send her armies to attack Bright Moon and destroy the Rebellion. Turns out Glimmer paid them to do that so the Princess Alliance could ambush the Horde and wipe it out]].
* {{Troll}}: Big time. Double Trouble intentionally drives everyone up the wall, and even as a prisoner continues to annoy and infuriate Glimmer for their own amusement. Not even Hordak is exempt from this treatment.
* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: Double Trouble uses a lot of cover identities in their work, which makes sense, considering their powers. [[spoiler:In Season 5, Mermista tries to recruit Peekablue for the Rebellion after hearing about his powers, only for everyone to learn it was just Double Trouble impersonating him]].
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: In the original toyline, they were Glimmer's cousin, but not in this show.
* UnreliableNarrator: Surprisingly subverted. During "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS4E07MerMysteries Mer-Mysteries]]", they intentionally screw up the Rebellion's plans to retake Dryl, and their shapeshifting leads to nearly everyone giving a false account of the battle. When it's their turn, Double Trouble accurately retells the events at Dryl [[spoiler:since at that point it doesn't matter anymore, they fulfilled their part of the plan]].
* VictoryIsBoring: Things not going to plan genuinely delight them and they will compliment a good strategy even if they are the victim. [[spoiler:After successfully turning on the Horde and sending them into a trap Double Trouble laments with a sad sigh at how easy it was.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: Double Trouble cruelly takes [[spoiler:Catra]]'s issues apart bit by bit, including her NeverMyFault stance on everything. They force her to confront the fact that while she's been blaming everyone for her problems, the real one at fault is herself.
* VillainousFaceHold: They grab Catra's face while talking to her though she slaps them away. Seems slightly more innocent before the viewer learns [[spoiler:Double Trouble was actually betraying her at that moment]].
* VillainRevealsTheSecret: To cause even more havoc, Double Trouble goes to [[spoiler:Hordak]] and pretends to believe that [[spoiler:Hordak ordered Entrapta's exile]]. They casually recount the facts and by the time Double Trouble has finished speaking, [[spoiler:Hordak]] has realized [[spoiler:Catra's betrayal]] and is absolutely livid by the awful truth.
* VocalDissonance: Their slender, elfin figure and features belie a very low and throaty voice.
* VoiceChangeling: Along with looking like whoever they want, they can ''sound'' like whoever they want, too.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Double Trouble can transform into anyone they want, even with perfect voice mimicry. They can even ignore ShapeshifterBaggage as their magic - or whatever they use to shapeshift - turns them into indistinguishable replicas of their targets regardless of size shape or mass.
* WildCard: Double Trouble has no real allegiance but to self, only working for whichever side is winning or whoever is paying. [[spoiler:They even briefly work for Horde Prime while disguised as a clone, but get bored and leave]].
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: They have yellow eyes and are quite sneaky, using shape-shifting tactics.
* [[ActionGirl Action Enby]]: Their sole fight scene is when they are disguised as the female Catra. They prove to be quite skilled, able to challenge She-Ra.
* AdaptationalAchillesHeel: Downplayed. The original Double Trouble had no
* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: The original Double Trouble was a cisgender woman who only used her shapeshifting powers to turn into other female characters. Here Double Trouble is non-binary and unrestricted by gender or species in their transformations.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The original Double Trouble was a loyal, heroic TheMole for the Rebellion. This one's a sadistic, amoral criminal mercenary whose main redeeming features are that they're a ConsummateProfessional. [[spoiler:However, they're equally happy to take the Rebellion's money.]]
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: They were human in the 80s toy line and are distinctively reptilian looking in this adaptation.
* AffablyEvil: In contrast to the rest of the cast, Double Trouble has no personal stake in the war and therefore holds nothing against the characters, despite spending a whole season manipulating them. Unlike Catra, who causes pain due to her own issues, Double Trouble simply performs the job they were hired to do and enjoys the drama they create.
* AlienBlood: It's blue.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Double Trouble has light green skin in their default form, [[spoiler:pink skin as Flutterina]], [[spoiler:blue skin as Peekablue]], and grey in [[EarlyBirdCameo Princess Prom]].
* AnimalEyes: Double Trouble has eyes similar to a reptile. Chartreuse green ones, complete with slitted pupils and dark green nictitating membranes.
* AnimalMotifs: A shapeshifter with lizard-like features? Yep, Double Trouble was definitely designed with chameleons in mind.
* AppleOfDiscord: DT's favourite hobby is to sow discord amongst others whenever possible, tearing enemies apart by targeting an individual's insecurities, and they've managed to turn it into a highly lucrative career.
* AscendedExtra: Double Trouble was never in the original cartoon, only appearing [[ToylineExclusiveCharacter as a toy]] and in a single comic. In the reboot, Double Trouble becomes a major player behind the events of Season 4, and received a lot of hype surrounding their introduction to the show.
*
** The reason they stopped [[spoiler:working for Horde Prime]] was because they realized [[spoiler:brainwashed]] people make for a terrible audience.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Double Trouble doesn't study characters just for impersonation, but also to predict and anticipate what that person will do.
* BackForTheFinale: Like Huntara and Entrapta's kitchen staff, Double Trouble [[spoiler:makes an appearance during the
* BadGuyBar: Their new place of
* BeigeProse: While they usually like to use dramatic phrases in their dialogue, when they're bored, annoyed or someone is telling them to speed it up, they will use very blunt language. Though it usually goes right back to being dramatic.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Their campy demeanor and flair for the dramatic belie the fact that they are capable of turning friends against each other or exploiting people's insecurities. Not to mention that their only ''real'' allegiance is [[IFightForTheStrongestSide whoever they believe is on the winning team.]]
* BizarreAlienBiology: Whenever someone is [[spoiler:stung by Scorpia]] they instantly fall unconscious and are temporarily paralyzed after waking up. For Double Trouble, before passing out, they shapeshift uncontrollably as though they are having a seizure and revert to their default form.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Double Trouble does not care whether or not what they do is 'good' or 'bad', to them, and society is just a big dumb machine. Theatre and chaos come first and foremost, followed by self-preservation. Everything else is secondary.
* BluffTheImposter: [[spoiler:While posing as Peekablue at a club, they are approached by Scorpia who wants to recruit Peekablue. When they mention '[[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay getting into character]]', she immediately becomes suspicious and says she met him once at an event Perfuma was hosting. When 'Peekablue' appears to recall it, she reveals Peekablue and Perfuma have never met]].
* BondOneLiner: "And... scene." Double Trouble says this after they believe that they've effectively sown chaos.
* BreakThemByTalking: Proves to have a talent for this.
** They reduce one of their foes to a near-suicidal state this way. [[spoiler:Double Trouble calls upon Catra's various insecurities while switching between the forms of Hordak, Shadow Weaver, Scorpia, Adora, and Catra herself. Then following up by revealing how they led the Horde troops to their demise, and that the rebels have a superweapon capable of wiping out the Horde. By the time Glimmer shows up, Catra doesn't even try to defend herself and tells Glimmer to finish her off.]]
** They pull the same stunt earlier, while "accidentally" spoiling details about the Horde's plan. [[spoiler:While speaking with Hordak, Double Trouble mentions Entrapta being absent from
** Double Trouble does this to the Princess Rebellion. They reveal precisely how they've screwed up everyone's plans by confessing that [[spoiler:the Horde has attacked Salineas. When the princesses resolve to stop the carnage, Double Trouble explains the battle has already happened; Double Trouble was just bait, meant to keep the princesses occupied]]. This leaves Mermista despondent and the Alliance more broken than ever.
** They do this to Perfuma, Scorpia and Sea Hawk when they're forced to deliver intel on [[spoiler:Horde Prime]]. Double Trouble annoyedly recounts what they've been up to [[spoiler:since the invasion]], and slowly begins dropping horrifying facts about [[spoiler:the Horde chipping people]]. They explain that [[spoiler:Catra was saved by Adora]] before segueing into an ominous speech on how [[spoiler:Horde Prime is going to kill the Rebellion's friends in space]], horrifying everyone.
* BrutalHonesty: Invoked. Glimmer eventually manages to get her truth spell right and hits Double Trouble with it, making them unable to lie to her. Double Trouble still manages to BreakThemByTalking all the same by detailing exactly what the Horde has planned, [[spoiler:revealing Horde Prime is already on the way, Glimmer's forces are so fractured that they'll be beaten in under an hour, and that the Rebellion is going to get absolutely crushed]].
* BullyingADragon: They intentionally piss off Hordak [[spoiler:by not-so-subtly hinting that Catra betrayed him]], and taunt him over his feelings for Entrapta.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Double Trouble is obsessed with theatre to a ridiculous degree, melodramatic as all hell and worryingly passionate about causing chaos. None of this stops them from being brilliant at their job. If anything, it ''helps''.
* {{Camp}}: Positively ''oozes'' it. They have the mannerisms and speech of a stereotypical gay theatre performer or drag queen, and a suitable flair for the dramatic.
* CantTakeCriticism: Although Double Trouble enjoys hearing feedback on their 'performances', they do ''not'' like negative reviews.
* CardCarryingVillain: They are the only character to never make an attempt to apologize or justify their actions to anyone, making it clear they are willing to cause massive amounts of destruction without feeling a shred of guilt. They also warn their employers in advance that their loyalty is to whoever is paying them.
* CaptainErsatz: Their traits of shapeshifting, being a villainous spy, having a true reptilian form, and androgynous fashion, are reminiscent of Zam Wesell from ''Franchise/StarWars'': ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', who is [[https://www.queerty.com/noelle-stevenson-jacob-tobia-talk-bringing-genderqueer-awesomeness-ra-season-4-20191105 ND Stevenson's favorite "Star Wars" character]] and [[https://twitter.com/Gingerhazing/status/1285303300322017280 someone he's noted as]] [[https://www.oprahdaily.com/life/relationships-love/a34100347/noelle-stevenson-coming-out-story/ a major childhood hero of his.]]
* CheshireCatGrin: Flashes one whenever they're carrying out a good plot, which is most of the time.
* ConsummateProfessional: Despite being openly and cheerfully sadistic, they're surprisingly good at only indulging their appetites in ways that will help their employer and fulfill their mission. They're actually a remarkably helpful, supportive employee until someone presents them with a more lucrative counteroffer - and they make sure to warn their employers of that, too.
* CombatStilettos: Subverted. While Double Trouble is always seen wearing pair of high-heeled boots in their true form, they have only ever been seen fighting while using the bodies of characters who don't wear heels.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:This time around, Double Trouble and Flutterina are the same person: the latter is a fake identity Double Trouble uses to infiltrate the rebels. It's not clear if there's a real Flutterina out there somewhere or if Double Trouble just made her up completely, but either way the audience only knows Flutterina as Double Trouble's alter ego.]]
** In Season 5, the Rebellion briefly returns to Elberon, and the inhabitants of the village are seen quite a few times throughout the season. [[spoiler:Flutterina]] is never seen among them.
** Double Trouble's ShapeshifterDefaultForm also resembles Whiplash (or the other Caligars), with the pointed ears, green skin, tail, claws and semi-reptilian appearance.
* ConvulsiveSeizures: Instead of simply falling unconscious like the other characters do when [[spoiler:stung by Scorpia's tail]], Double Trouble drops to the ground and shapeshifts uncontrollably as though they're having a seizure before passing out.
* CoolestClubEver: After [[spoiler:betraying Catra and getting bored pretending to be a Horde Prime clone]] Double Trouble gets a new job as a performer at an ultra-exclusive and cool BadGuyBar. They do this disguised as [[spoiler:Peekablue]] since they thought having an exotic identity would help make money.
* CoolUncle: [[spoiler:They become something akin to this toward Adora and Catra's adoptive child, Finn.]]
* CoverIdentityAnomaly: Double Trouble performs at a club disguised as [[spoiler:Peekablue]], a known ''hermit'' no one has seen in years. Subverted since it's not an oversight on their part, they just thought it was an exotic identity that could make them money.
* CrocodileTears: Discussed. When Glimmer's truth spell finally works on Double Trouble, the first truth they reveal is a personal shame: they can't cry on cue. Double Trouble has to imagine children falling to get tears [[EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor of laughter]] and pass it off as sadness.
* CulturedBadass: An adroit actor and runs a frankly amazing [[BadGuyBar underwater speakeasy club]] that takes a direct attack from prime to close down. This lizard definitely appreciates the finer things in life.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Chartreuse eyes, chartreuse hair.
* DarkIsEvil: The first character on the show to wear an entirely black outfit, and a world-class villain.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the TokenEvilTeammate. Double Trouble only cares about their own self-preservation, making money, and having fun doing evil. But this means that they have absolutely no loyalty to anyone and aren't even going to bother to pretend otherwise. Thus, Double Trouble will turn on their teammates when they decide doing so is to their advantage, has no problem sitting out a conflict if they decide they don't care to help either side, and is ultimately a WildCard who will do what they want, when they want, without caring about the consequences as long as they aren't directly at risk.
* DefiantCaptive: A villainous example. [[spoiler:While held captive by the Rebellion, Double Trouble refuses to divulge any information and mocks Glimmer when she repeatedly fails to use a truth spell on them. Subverted later when Glimmer succeeds, but Double Trouble is happy to spill their guts anyway, since they tell Glimmer that she doesn't have a chance against Horde Prime.]]
* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: Downplayed. They purposely antagonize Hordak [[spoiler:to get him to attack Catra]]. Later, they [[spoiler:join the Galactic Horde by disguising themself as a Horde clone and learn some extremely crucial info on Horde Prime's plans before getting bored and leaving. ''Horde Prime'' himself didn't even notice someone had infiltrated his ranks]].
* DisneyVillainDeath: They do this to [[spoiler:two Horde clones by disguising themself as one to get close before shoving the two off a cliff]].
* DramaticPause: They're a fan of these.
* DramaQueen: They can be ''very'' dramatic, something they take pride in as an actor. Coupled with their shapeshifting, it's something to behold.
* DubNameChange:
** They are called "Doublia" in the French dub ([[ShesAManInJapan where they're referred to with female pronouns instead]]).
** In the Latin-American one, their name is "Doppler Morfer" and they are mostly referred to neutrally, except in one instance where they use "el", the masculine form of the particle "the".
** In the European Spanish dub, their name is "Dupla" and they were originally referred to by she/her pronouns during the first run. However, after fans pointed out the mistake, several dialogues were re-recorded in order to erase those gendered pronouns.
* EarlyBirdCameo: They can be seen in the background in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS1E08PrincessProm Princess Prom]]" at one point.
* {{Elfeminate}}: A non-binary elfish character with androgynous characteristics.
* EscapeArtist: During their introduction, Double Trouble brags they're one of these. During the show, they escape from handcuffs and a metal cage.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Subverted. Double Trouble witnesses massive amounts of destruction and utterly horrific acts by various parties and are never remotely fazed or concerned. [[spoiler:Even Horde Prime mind-controlling the Etherians en mass fails to garner a reaction]].
** Played straight on occasion however with [[spoiler:Scorpia's sacrifice]].
* EvilGloating: Weaponised. They like showing off how clever they are and revelling in the damage they've caused... but only if it'll distract someone in a way that benefits their employer.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Under Glimmer's truth spell, Double Trouble admits they imagine children falling to inspire tears of joy, because they can't cry on cue.
* EvilLaugh: They have a habit of doing this, though rather downplayed. [[spoiler:Excluding just before before they emotionally break Catra]].
* {{Expy}}: Double Trouble has very similar fashion sense and melodramatic body language to [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Envy]], who is also a bishie SmugSnake shapeshifter with [[spoiler:a reptilian green default form]].
* ExtraordinaryWorldOrdinaryProblems: Double Trouble is one of the few characters with a job, and the only one to make consistent references to it or look for new employment. During [[spoiler:Horde Prime's invasion]] their only concern is to figure out how they're going to get paid.
* FantasticallyIndifferent: When [[spoiler:Horde Prime invades Etheria]] Double Trouble's main concern is getting a new income source after [[spoiler:they betrayed Catra]]. They then infiltrate [[spoiler:Horde Prime's forces disguised as a clone, and learn a ton of extremely crucial info. They are never discovered, and only leave]] because they got bored and wanted to find a ''more interesting job''.
** When they're caught [[spoiler:by the Rebellion after they pose as Peekablue in a club, they casually tell them that half the crowd is currently under Horde Prime's thrall while displaying exactly zero interest or concern]].
* FauxAffablyEvil: Double Trouble is polite and courteous to nearly everyone, always appearing approachable and friendly. However, they drop this act a few times, such as [[spoiler:when Glimmer interrogates them, they do whatever they can to drive her up the wall, even outright insulting her]]. In the Season 4 finale, [[spoiler:they go a step further, and emotionally destroy Catra by explaining to her her flaws while turning into everyone Catra has ever cared about. They even stop smiling as they tell her everything she's worked for will be destroyed]].
* ForTheEvulz: Their main motivation for pretty much everything they do (aside from money). They find sowing chaos and discord personally satisfying.
* ForYourOwnGood: [[spoiler:Their given reason for giving Catra a BreakingSpeech. While what they said was [[VillainHasAPoint absolutely true]], they were also enjoying it ''way'' more than they had to.]]
* FurryReminder: Not to the same degree as Catra, but they're definitely a reptile, and show it by blinking their nictitating membranes and occasionally licking their eyeballs.
* TheGadFly: Once they're outed as TheMole they become this. They purposely piss off Glimmer at every opportunity, loving every minute of it.
* GenderFlip: Double Trouble was female in the original toyline, as they didn't appear in the original cartoon. They're androgynous and non-binary in this show, and are referred to with gender-neutral pronouns.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Their eyes glow in the dark.
* GracefulLoser: Played with. Double Trouble is usually affable upon defeat and is good at spinning losses in their favor, even complimenting Glimmer and Adora on their acting skills [[spoiler:after they fall for the girls' trap in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS4E07MerMysteries Mer-Mysteries]]"]]. However, they are also a highly uncooperative prisoner requiring threats and truth spells to get them to comply with anything and will insult their captors at every opportunity.
* GreenAndMean: Is green-skinned and is a slimy, cutthroat individual.
* HannibalLecture: When being interrogated by Glimmer, under a ''truth-spell'' no less, Double Trouble manages one of these. They tell her [[spoiler:Horde Prime is coming, and she doesn't stand a chance against him]]. They grin as they state this, knowing Glimmer will be reckless and desperate without her friends to aide her. [[spoiler:They're not wrong]].
* HazyFeelTurn: At the end of Season 4, it's doubtful that Double Trouble can be called either a true hero or a true villain. [[spoiler:They proceed to BreakThemByTalking on both Catra and Hordak, but they only really help the Rebellion because they're being paid to do it, they think the Rebellion is going to win, and [[ItAmusedMe because it's amusing]].]]
* HellBentForLeather: Wears:
** A shiny, strappy black bodysuit with cut-outs on the torso and translucent inserts
** Long black half-fingerless leather gloves
** Short black high-heeled leather boots
** And a leather strap around their tail.
* HiddenDepths: They're shown to be able to play the piano in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS5E07PerilsOfPeekablue Perils of Peekablue]]" when they impersonate someone named Swen.
* HiredGuns: They're a mercenary hired by Catra [[spoiler:and later, by Queen Glimmer in secret]], and make no secret of the fact that their loyalty only goes as far as the money does.
* {{Humanshifting}}: They have only ever been seen taking on humanoid forms, though they can take on the appearance of people with animalistic features. Strangely, Double Trouble themself has probably the least humanlike appearance of the forms they've taken.
* HypocriticalHumor: Double Trouble mocks Bow for leaving his 'abs' exposed as he doesn't own any 'real' shirts. They themself leave almost their entire midsection bare, save for a single strap down their stomach.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: [[spoiler:They join the Horde at first, but Glimmer is able to buy their loyalty after capturing them and demonstrating the Rebellion's wealth and military might. DT did consider joining Horde Prime, but being a mindless servant was ''not'' an interesting position to have]].
* ImpostorExposingTest: Scorpia figures out Double Trouble has disguised themself as [[spoiler:Peekablue]], but decides to out them by talking to them about Perfuma. When [[spoiler:Peekablue]] appears to know her, Scorpia reveals the two have never met.
* InexplicablyAwesome: Why are they a shapeshifter? Why are they a master manipulator? The plot may not tell us, but we don't need to know to appreciate them.
* TheInformant: During the ''[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS5E07PerilsOfPeekablue Perils of Peekablue]]'' when Double Trouble [[spoiler:gets captured by the Rebels, they attempt to shake the group down for money in exchange for the information they have on Horde Prime. Perfuma isn't
* InsufferableGenius: How they treat their skills in acting and reading people. WordOfGod says this was part of the reason for their [[spoiler:BreakingSpeech to Catra]], they wanted to display their talents by showing her they knew her better than [[spoiler:Catra]] herself, and in the process garner a
* IShallTauntYou: Double Trouble repeatedly employs insults as part their strategy to drive Glimmer and Adora apart after they're discovered. They mock Glimmer over Adora's ability to order her around and later taunt her with the knowledge that [[spoiler:with Horde Prime on the way, the Rebllion doesn't stand a chance]].
** They later cruelly explain all of [[spoiler:Catra's flaws to her]], and take jabs at the fact that everything she's worked for will be torn down. This could either be considered an attempt to bring [[spoiler:Catra]] back to sanity, or conversely, make her even worse.
* ItAmusedMe: Double Trouble does not take the concept of war very seriously, causing massive amounts of chaos and damage to the whole world just because it was entertaining.
-->'''Double Trouble:''' Remember, this is supposed to be fun.\\
'''Catra:''' This is
'''Double Trouble:''' No reason it can't be both.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: Despite Double Trouble usually having good control over their powers, when [[spoiler:stung by
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** Sure, their TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to [[spoiler:Catra]] is unnecessarily brutal and they're clearly just trying to BreakThemByTalking [[spoiler:and [[{{Sadist}} milking their betrayal for all it's worth]]]], but everything Double Trouble says is 100% true and something that [[spoiler:[[NeverMyFault Catra]]]] ''needs'' to hear.
** They're a slippery, untrustworthy backstabber who will [[spoiler:immediately turn on you if someone else offers them a better deal]], but as they point out, this is ''war'', and the only way to ensure your own survival is to [[spoiler:choose the winning side. NothingPersonal, they're just ''way'' more committed to saving their own skin than they are to any sort of idealogy or cause. Indeed, while people on both the side of the Rebellion and the Horde, who have personal stakes in the conflict, end up losing a whole lot, Double Trouble is able to walk out of the whole thing unharmed and unhindered]].
* KarmaHoudini: For all the chaos and strife Double Trouble creates, they never really pay for their crimes. Every time it seems like they'll finally get what's coming, they always manage to spin events in their favour. [[spoiler:Even imprisonment and Horde Prime's invasion fail to make Double Trouble see the error of their ways]].
* KickChick: Played with in that Double Trouble is not a chick. While fighting Adora as Catra, they are seen employing quite a few kicks, and later does a spinning-kick as [[spoiler:Flutterina]]. Later, when they're cornered by the Princesses, they opt to kick Adora in the shins.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler:While they refuse to talk at first, when Glimmer
* LackOfEmpathy: They admit they're unable to fake tears properly, having to think of ''funny'' things if they have pretend to cry in order to cry out of laughter, and their idea of something funny to imagine to inspire tears of laughter is children falling.
* LargeHam: They're a stereotypical overdramatic actor with a deep and sincere love for showmanship, although as a ConsummateProfessional, they do make sure to tone it down to character-appropriate levels when they're on the job.
--> '''Double Trouble:''' ''[de-shifting from Catra]'' Ta-da! Thank you, thank you.
* LeanAndMean: A sleek, shifty addition to the Horde.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A waterphone-esque sound can be heard when they transform. It also plays when they first appear in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS4E02TheValleyOfTheLost The Valley of the Lost]]" and [[spoiler:during their breaking speech to Catra]].
* LiminalBeing: Double Trouble straddles categories and transgresses boundaries. As a non-binary character, they transcend binary gender categories. As a shapeshifter, they partake of many forms. [[spoiler:As a mercenary, Double Trouble sides with the Horde ''and'' the Rebellion at different points in Season 4.]]
* LittleGirlsKickShins: After being discovered as the Horde spy, Double Trouble, as [[spoiler:Flutterina]] is cornered by the Princesses. Unable to talk their way out, they turn around and kick Adora in the
* MonsterOfTheWeek: The main threat
* LizardFolk: Less lizard-like than, say, Rogelio and more like a half-elf, half-lizard; but
* LostInCharacter: Downplayed. According to themself, Double Trouble is
* LuxuryPrisonSuite: Downplayed. They are trapped within a magical circle and have a rather nice chair to sit in. However, they have very little
* MakeupIsEvil: Though Double Trouble is less ''evil'' and closer to dangerously neutral, while impersonating [[spoiler:Peekablue]] they are seen applying mascara and are in possession of various cosmetics. Oddly enough the makeup does not transfer over to their true form.
* ManipulativeBastard: A non-binary version. As they themself will tell you, being able to change your appearance is only part of any effective subterfuge. Double Trouble considers themself a performance artist, getting into the character of whomever it is that they're disguised as. As such, they CantTakeCriticism.
* MasterActor: A point of pride for them is that they truly ''become'' the people they imitate, and they're always looking to improve upon their craft. Double Trouble wouldn't be nearly as dangerous if they couldn't successfully act and fool their enemies as well as change their appearance.
* MasterOfDisguise: VoluntaryShapeshifting is only part of what makes them so good at deception. Double Trouble will spend hours trying to perfectly mimic their target in all ways and takes great pride in doing so.
* TheMole: Double Trouble infiltrates the Rebellion under the guise of [[spoiler:Flutterina]]. There, they relay intel to Catra and even outright sabotage the Princesses. The damage they inflict doing this is monumental.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: A set of razor sharp chompers, often seen when they grin.
* MorphicResonance:
** Played with. Double Trouble's eyes are the only things visible when they revert to their true form, and unlike the rest of their body do not take time to change back. When they're disguised, the eyes are the audience's tell.
** Also as [[spoiler:Flutterina]]. In both forms they have a small nose, pointed ears, wide eyes, and a slim build. Eagle-eyed viewers will also notice their outfits bare some similarities. [[spoiler:Flutterina's]] blouse has yellow panels similar the cutout on Double Trouble's bodysuit, the sleeves are somewhat pointed, and they wear a choker resembling Double Trouble's collar.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Subverted. In contrast to characters like Scorpia, who has an instinct to sting people; and Catra, who regularly displays catlike mannerisms, Double Trouble never
*
* NobleDemon: They're one of the least sympathetic characters in the series, but they seem to have some sense of professionalism. [[spoiler:Before Glimmer offers them a higher payment]], Double Trouble are willing to save Catra's life, and remind her that they're OnlyInItForTheMoney when she thanks them.
* NonActionGuy: Played with. Double Trouble is non-binary and is capable of handling themself in a fight, [[spoiler:even able to go against the likes of She-Ra]]. However, they rarely engage in combat, preferring to rely on their ability to manipulate people and escape when things get dire.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: They like to act far more familiar with people than they actually are, getting up close and personal with absolutely no regard for the
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: They couldn't care less who wins the war, they're just here to get paid and
* NothingPersonal: They like hurting people for money, but it's about pure sadistic pleasure rather than any specific malice. Throw enough money at them, and they'll happily break off trying to psychologically destroy you and be the best employee you could hope for... until someone else comes along with a better offer.
* NotSoStoic: Downplayed. They make it abundantly clear they don't actually care for anyone besides themself, and directly state they would have continued working for [[spoiler:Horde Prime]] if brainwashed people didn't make for a terrible audience. Despite this, they are seen looking genuinely concerned when [[spoiler:Scorpia pulls a HeroicSacrifice]].
* OhCrap: Their reaction when Scorpia appears in the
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: While they love sowing chaos for fun, they're only in any cause for the money. [[spoiler:Shown best at the end of Season 4, where they take the Rebellion's money instead, and deliver a brutal TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Catra in order to BreakThemByTalking. While it appeared that Double Trouble was growing closer to Catra, they really just wanted her money and that was it. When Double Trouble said they were only in it for the money, they meant it; they're quick to remind Catra of this during their speech, which just breaks Catra even further.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Downplayed. [[spoiler:When Perfuma, Scorpia and Seahawk end up fighting a mind-controlled Mermista in an underwater club, Double Trouble points out just how stupid it is to start a massive brawl in an ''extremely delicate'' submerged bubble]].
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Double Trouble rarely expresses any emotion besides smugness or sadistic delight. The only time they get genuinely upset is when [[spoiler:they're partially paralyzed by Scorpia's venom and the Rebels are battling a chipped Mermista in an underwater club. Double Trouble angrily yells for them to stop fighting before they destroy the bubble and flood the place]], prompting everyone to run. [[spoiler:They're also genuinely shocked by Scorpia's sacrifice.]]
* {{Outlaw}}: According to Huntara, everyone in the Crimson Waste is an outlaw, and as a resident, it's likely Double Trouble is one as well. In fact, Double Trouble is very much a hardened criminal at heart, and will sell others out if the situation takes a turn for the worst.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: Double Trouble makes no attempt to accurately portray [[spoiler:Peekablue]]'s personality, since they perform at a club disguised as him while [[spoiler:the real Peekablue is a hermit]]. This confuses Scorpia, and while she decides she probably doesn't know what the word means, she eventually catches on.
* OutsideContextProblem: Nobody even knew shapeshifters existed until they showed up, which is a big part of how they were able to inflict so much damage. The idea that a spy might be able to flawlessly disguise themself as several people at once simply doesn't occur to anyone.
* OverlyLongTongue: Has a blue tongue, seen when they lick their eye in "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS4E07MerMysteries Mer-Mysteries]]".
* PartialTransformation: Double Trouble has changed the tip of their tail into a spade and their hair to resemble [[spoiler:Entrapta's]].
* PerformanceArtist: They are extremely flamboyant and enjoy acting and drama to a ridiculous extent. After [[spoiler:they betray Catra]] they get a job as a performer at a club.
* PerpetualSmiler: Downplayed. When they're not impersonating someone and they aren't being dramatic as all hell, they will undoubtedly be smiling.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: [[spoiler:While posing as the female-presenting Flutterina, their skin is pink; while impersonating the male-presenting Peekablue, their skin is blue]].
* PhonyPsychic: While [[spoiler:posing as Peekablue]] Double Trouble fakes having his powers as part of the charade. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Scorpia figures it out]].
* ThePianoPlayer: While at the club, along with impersonating [[spoiler:Peekablue]] they also double as [[spoiler:the pianist, Swen]]. Turns out, they're pretty decent at playing.
* PointyEars: A rather large pair.
* PoisonousCaptive: Double Trouble is [[spoiler:uncooperative and refuses to speak to anyone, even mocking Glimmer's attempts at truth spells. However, when Glimmer finally does get the spell to work, Double Trouble gleefully hands over the information, obviously knowing full well that whatever Glimmer will do next will drive her and Adora further apart]].
* ThePowerOfActing: With their insane skills as an actor, they perfectly mimic the personalities and traits of whoever they are pretending to be, and even figure out how to [[spoiler:psychologically break Catra]] through character study.
* PrehensileTail: Long and green, like the rest of them.
* PrettyInMink: In their blink-and-you'll-miss-it background appearance at the Princess Prom, they wore a big fluffy purple coat.
* PretendToBeBrainwashed: Pulls this off against [[spoiler:''Horde Prime'']] off-screen, by infiltrating his ranks disguised as a [[spoiler:Horde clone]] which are all part of a HiveMind, so the pretending to be brainwashed came with the territory. It's particularly surprising they did so successfully, and without getting caught.
* PurpleProse: Their dialogue tends to edge into this when they're being particularly dramatic, and they use flowery wording to emphasize their points.
* PsychoForHire: Pursued a career as a saboteur for hire out of a sincere love for chaos and suffering. Unusually, the joy they take in their work makes them more professional and competent, not less.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a particularly brutal one to [[spoiler:Catra]]. They analyze [[spoiler:Catra's entire character, laying bare all her flaws and picking up where Adora left off in Season 3]]. But, what really sells it [[spoiler:is how they transform into everyone Catra has had a relationship with as they tell her she has pushed everyone away, and she only has herself to blame for everything that's happened]].
-->'''Scorpia!Double Trouble''': It's you. You drive them away, [[spoiler:Wildcat]].
* RedRightHand: They sometimes blink with their regular eyes, [[EyeDentityGiveaway disrupting their otherwise perfect shapeshifting.]]
* ReplacementGoldfish: Moments in Season 4 imply Catra wants to gain a new, more compatible friend in Double Trouble, at least subconsciously. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, their loyalty is for sale ''and'' they're not any kind of "friendly", although they at least have the decency to warn her of this before their inevitable betrayal.]]
* {{Sadist}}: A particularly dangerous example who's managed to find a way to turn their love of inflicting suffering into a strength rather than a weakness. They channel their sadistic urges into a highly lucrative career as a saboteur and troublemaker for hire, and they love their work so much that they'll never get careless or distracted out of guilt or boredom.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Scorpia gets Double Trouble to reveal they're not really [[spoiler:Peekablue]], their reaction is to bolt. Of course, they don't get that far thanks to Scorpia's stinger.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: When Double Trouble isn't impersonating someone, their "normal" form is an androgynous lizard person. On Twitter, series creator ND Stevenson and voice actor Jacob Tobia were asked if Double Trouble uses a preferred form, or if they just happen to look the way they do. The answer was that no one knows what they really look like, but it doesn't matter. Double Trouble has made their own identity.
** It's likely that their appearance is genuine, and was likely how DT was born, as when they briefly [[spoiler:lost control of their powers due to Scorpia stinging them, Double Trouble reverted to their usual form before falling unconscious]]. Of course, their own comments have left the situation ambiguous.
* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: When they don't need to hide their identity, they use their shapeshifting to accentuate their points to great effect, seeing as how they love to BreakThemByTalking. [[spoiler:They do it so effectively with Catra that she ends up crossing the DespairEventHorizon.]]
* ShapeshifterModeLock: [[spoiler:Scorpia's venom]] can inflict a minor version on them, causing Double Trouble to lose control of their powers and spasmodically switch between forms before reverting to their true appearance and losing consciousness. They aren't seen shapeshifting while still affected by [[spoiler:the venom]], though it's probable they just didn't have a reason to.
* ShapeshifterShowoffSession: Is hired by Catra to sabotage the rebellion, which they do using the identity of 'Flutterina'. However, upon being discovered as the traitor, they put their abilities on display by transforming into the various Princesses before reverting to their true form and introducing themself.
* ShapeshifterSwanSong: Downplayed. When Scorpia [[spoiler:realizes 'Peekablue' is actually Double Trouble and the shapeshifter tries to escape, she stings them, causing them to spasm on the floor and turn into a variety of characters before reverting to their true form]]. They aren't killed though, just knocked unconscious.
* ShapeshiftingHealsWounds: {{Averted}} as seen in their début episode Double Trouble keeps the scratches and other damage incurred across their forms, which is probably part of why they're more focused on infiltration than combat.
* ShapeshiftingSound: Commonly transforms with a liquid slurping sound effect, accompanied by a distinct hissing sound reminiscent of a rattlesnake's tail.
* ShapeshiftingTrickster: Are they ever. They use their shapeshifting to sow distrust within the Rebellion and takes pride in watching people's reactions while they fall for Double Trouble's tricks. In an interview with [[https://ew.com/tv/2019/10/24/shera-season-4-trailer-exclusive-video-noelle-stevenson-interview/ Entertainment Weekly]], ND Stevenson described Double Trouble as someone who cultivates "mischief and chaos" and loves every minute of it.
-->"Double Trouble sort of enters all of the character dynamics and kind of turns everything on its head because they are this new character who is sort of above it all and seeing the dynamics that they bring out in every other character. The character just has so much fun with what. They do and what they do to cause mischief and chaos, but they just enjoy it so much ... Double Trouble just brings this sense of fun. They really just want to have a good time."
* ShesAManInJapan: Is changed from non-binary to male in the Polish dub. The German sub avoids pronouns while the German dub uses male ones as well. In the French and Spanish dubs, they're a female, most likely because gender-neutral pronouns such as "iel" have yet to be fully recognized in the former language.
* ShipperOnDeck: They are quick to notice Catra's obsession with Adora.
* SmugSmiler: Double Trouble [[LargeHam cranks all their expressions a few ticks past standard]], so when they're smug, they're ''[[https://66.media.tumblr.com/9ddf571f8c4f9b970192a2a31ee8720b/dbd08a17f1eacd89-8b/s500x750/2d1b69b03bba33e9a934299041e4b41bb1dd1584.gifv extremely]]'' smug.
* TheSocialExpert: Their obsession with 'character study' leads them to become this. They easily analyze the people around them and use it to both perfectly mimic their targets and sow discord. This ability really bites [[spoiler:Catra in the ass when Double Trouble psychoanalyzes her insecurities and flaws, using it to deliver a BreakingSpeech]].
* TheSociopath: Double Trouble has never demonstrated genuine empathy for anyone, can easily fake their emotions, manipulates people for kicks, never feels remorse for their actions no matter how destructive, and needs constant stimulation which they get by causing chaos for everyone around them.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Their use of certain nicknames can fall into this when they adopt their normal mannerisms when otherwise transformed, like calling Catra "Kitten" while they looked like Adora. [[spoiler:Not that they're above invoking this with someone else's nicknames while using their appearance to make a performance more personal, as they used Scorpia's "Wildcat" for Catra when using her face to finish their BreakingSpeech.]]
** When Scorpia [[spoiler:tries to convince Peekablue to join the rebellion, he is preparing for a performance and tells her he needs to 'get into character'. This immediately tips Scorpia off]].
* SpaceElves: Described as a "[[OurGoblinsAreDifferent goblin]]-elf princess" by their V.A.
* SqueakyEyes: A rather unnerving example. Whenever they blink with their inner eyelids, it is coupled with a rather disgusting sound effect, adding to their inhuman nature.
* StageName: When asked on Twitter if Double Trouble is their real name, Jacob Tobia suggested it's probably a stage name, though ND Stevenson stated they're in a world where there are people called ''Castaspella'', so only Double Trouble themself would know.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Double Trouble- a shapeshifter who loves to cause chaos.
* TermsOfEndangerment: Double Trouble tends to call people they're working against 'darlings'. [[spoiler:When they betray Catra in the fourth season finale, they call her their previously AffectionateNickname for her, 'Kitten', in a mocking tone]].
* TokenEvilTeammate: Even compared to others in the Horde. Double Trouble is a shady criminal who doesn't care about loyalty or ideologies. Just whoever pays the most. [[spoiler:This is deconstructed in that Double Trouble is a hardened outlaw who ''will'' turn on their employer if someone else pays them or if the situation takes a turn for the worst. At the end of the day, Double Trouble follows the mentality of "every man for himself"]].
* ToughLove: After giving [[spoiler:Catra]] a [[BreakThemByTalking particularly brutal]] TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, when [[spoiler:a [[EtTuBrute hearbroken]] Catra]] asks how they can be so mean, Double Trouble claims "it's for your own good." [[VillainHasAPoint It's hard to disagree with them]].
* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Played with. No one ever attacks Double Trouble when they shapeshift, though their transformations are fast, it tends to scare people, they rarely engage in combat and they can also keep moving as they transform. In the fourth season finale, Catra never attacks Double Trouble when they transform, though this can be justified as Double Trouble already [[spoiler:[[BreakThemByTalking broke her emotionally]], and in any case she's also recovering from a lengthy and drawn-out fight against Hordak]].
* TransformationSequence: Much like She-ra, Double Trouble gets sequences of varying lengths. When they transform, it appears as their body turning entirely black, save for their eyes, with their silhouette rapidly distorting until they achieve the form they want.
* TreacherousAdvisor: They help out Catra the entirety of Season 4, giving her info on the rebellion, spying and sabotaging the Princesses. However, when they finally return to the Fright Zone after being 'held up' in Bright Moon, [[spoiler:they advise Catra to send her armies to attack Bright Moon and destroy the Rebellion. Turns out Glimmer paid them to do that so the Princess Alliance could ambush the Horde and wipe it out]].
* {{Troll}}: Big time. Double Trouble intentionally drives everyone up the wall, and even as a prisoner continues to annoy and infuriate Glimmer for their own amusement. Not even Hordak is exempt from this treatment.
* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: Double Trouble uses a lot of cover identities in their work, which makes sense, considering their powers. [[spoiler:In Season 5, Mermista tries to recruit Peekablue for the Rebellion after hearing about his powers, only for everyone to learn it was just Double Trouble impersonating him]].
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: In the original toyline, they were Glimmer's cousin, but not in this show.
* UnreliableNarrator: Surprisingly subverted. During "[[Recap/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerS4E07MerMysteries Mer-Mysteries]]", they intentionally screw up the Rebellion's plans to retake Dryl, and their shapeshifting leads to nearly everyone giving a false account of the battle. When it's their turn, Double Trouble accurately retells the events at Dryl [[spoiler:since at that point it doesn't matter anymore, they fulfilled their part of the plan]].
* VictoryIsBoring: Things not going to plan genuinely delight them and they will compliment a good strategy even if they are the victim. [[spoiler:After successfully turning on the Horde and sending them into a trap Double Trouble laments with a sad sigh at how easy it was.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: Double Trouble cruelly takes [[spoiler:Catra]]'s issues apart bit by bit, including her NeverMyFault stance on everything. They force her to confront the fact that while she's been blaming everyone for her problems, the real one at fault is herself.
* VillainousFaceHold: They grab Catra's face while talking to her though she slaps them away. Seems slightly more innocent before the viewer learns [[spoiler:Double Trouble was actually betraying her at that moment]].
* VillainRevealsTheSecret: To cause even more havoc, Double Trouble goes to [[spoiler:Hordak]] and pretends to believe that [[spoiler:Hordak ordered Entrapta's exile]]. They casually recount the facts and by the time Double Trouble has finished speaking, [[spoiler:Hordak]] has realized [[spoiler:Catra's betrayal]] and is absolutely livid by the awful truth.
* VocalDissonance: Their slender, elfin figure and features belie a very low and throaty voice.
* VoiceChangeling: Along with looking like whoever they want, they can ''sound'' like whoever they want, too.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Double Trouble can transform into anyone they want, even with perfect voice mimicry. They can even ignore ShapeshifterBaggage as their magic - or whatever they use to shapeshift - turns them into indistinguishable replicas of their targets regardless of size shape or mass.
* WildCard: Double Trouble has no real allegiance but to self, only working for whichever side is winning or whoever is paying. [[spoiler:They even briefly work for Horde Prime while disguised as a clone, but get bored and leave]].
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: They have yellow eyes and are quite sneaky, using shape-shifting tactics.
