Got the okay on this


!!Entrapta, Princess of Dryl
!!!'''Voiced by''': Christine Woods (English), Leyla Rangel (Latin American Spanish), Rei Shimada (Japanese)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/entrapta.png]]
->''"Imperfection is what makes scientific experimentation possible. Imperfection is beautiful. At least to me."''

Entrapta is cheerful and manic. Many things set her apart from the other princesses, including her flowing, prehensile hair and her love for machines and robots. She prioritizes her scientific research above her social life and she'd much rather study relationships than create any of her own. Though, it does bother her that she is often misunderstood by her peers.
-----
* AdaptationalAchillesHeel: If some cool piece of technology shows up, consider her gone for the foreseeable future. Netossa notices this.
* 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.
* 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]].
* 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.]]
* AdaptationDyeJob: Averted 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 people’s screens will be able to show that.
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Entrapta’s reaction to seeing the cloning vats with Primes’ clones and his guards is to gush and clutching 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 cheerful as ever.
* AirventPassageway: ''Loves'' traveling via vent, 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.]]
* AmbiguousDisorder: Subverted -- character designs for Season 4 outright [[https://i.imgur.com/nJSe1vv.png referred to her as autistic]] and a Twitter post from Noelle confirmed Entrapta was written as such. Storyboard artist Sam Szymanski is on the spectrum and apparently had a hand in figuring out her movements and her character arc. Entrapta is hyper-focused on science and technology, is most comfortable when working on a project instead of socializing, is not good at reading people's moods or picking up on social cues (though she's not entirely oblivious to them), and has a straightforward and literal way of thinking. She also has some more minor idiosyncrasies, such as her liking for tiny foods and preferring to move about the Fright Zone through the air ducts because she finds it easier to get where she's going.
* 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 "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 her interest in their tech), when she was on the side 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 found true friends in Scorpia and Catra for once and eventually got on Hordak's good graces and 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, it is made clear that in spite of her being good and trying to help the other princesses still treat her rather badly for her quirks and personality.
* 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.
* 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.
* CatchPhrase: "TA-DA!" and "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 turn her castle into a giant unnavigable labyrinth, well, that's just Tuesday.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In "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 being reclusive scientists who see themselves as failures.
* 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 "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'.
* CuteButCacophonic: She's a short, wide-eyed, energetic woman who can be ''very'' loud.
* {{Cyborg}}: According to a Patreon Q&A, 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 Different In The Adaptation]]: 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.
* FatalFlaw: She has a vast curiosity. Usually not a flaw, but combined with a complete disregard for consequence, it is. 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: 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 girls has some wires crossed. At one point she gets turned on from being scanned.
* 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.]]
* GoodCounterpart:
** To Hordak. Whereas he's obsessed with perfection, she embraces and thinks imperfections are beautiful. He sees science as a means to an end, but Entrapta loves science itself, which gives her insights that he can often miss.
** Also to [[spoiler:Horde Prime. Both are technologically proficient. Both have prehensile "hair". Both surround themselves with servants of their own creation (robots for Entrapta, clones for Horde Prime), some of whom develop free will (the robots in the Valley of the Lost for Entrapta, Hordak for Horde Prime). Both know about Hordak's secrets, but while Entrapta finds them out from a willing Hordak in the context of friendship, Horde Prime finds them out from an unwilling Hordak through a frightening mind probe. Both change Hordak in profound ways -- Entrapta by embracing Hordak's imperfections and stirring feelings of love in him, and Horde Prime by mind-wiping him.]]
* HarmlessElectrocution: Has a habit of being electrocuted: when she was first introduced she took enough voltage to make her [XRaySparks skeleton is visible] but then she picks up the conversation like nothing happened. She takes a few zaps every season with no ill effect.
* HeldGaze: [[spoiler:With Hordak in "Huntara". In Season 5, the two secretly meet near a Galactic Horde spire and share another held gaze.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** "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 "Failsafe". He shows her the LUVD crystal he is holding in his hand, and she places her hand in his.]]
* HollywoodAutism: Thankfully, averted. 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]].
** Noelle 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.
* 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.]]
* 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.
* MadnessPlace: When Entrapta’s working and focused she can not be diverted. Perfume 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
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Serves as one for Hordak along with being his MoralityPet.
* 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.
* MegaTwintails: Keeps her RapunzelHair in two enormous strands.
* 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 "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 "The Price of Power", she squishes Catra's cheeks with her prehensile hair [[spoiler:and cheerfully announces that she saved Catra's life. In "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 Rae 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, [[NiceShoes 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 "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 "No Princess Left Behind". Entrapta is even shown climbing and walking using just her hair.
* ThePromise: [[Averted]] She says sh;’ll [[ReunionVow come back]] for the unnamed gorilla Mech she created on Beast Island but that’s never shown.
** According to Word of Noelle 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.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair's longer than she is tall.
* 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 Noelle they’ll meet again when hordak does his Community service on Beast Island and Entrapta accompanies him
* {{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 "Launch", and remarks that she wants to have "quality time" with Darla (Mara's ship) while seductively cocking her eyebrows in "Stranded."
** During a June 9, 2020 [[https://youtu.be/zOFJHXBGDoc Twitch livestream]], showrunner [[WordOfGod Noelle Stevenson]] said that Entrapta has lots of robot boyfriends and girlfriends.
* 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: Rae Geiger, the [WordOfSaintPaul Lead Character Designer] Entrapta's cyber-hair was inspired by Music/HatsuneMiku and her personality by [[Film/Ghostbusters2016 Jillian Holtzmann]].
* TheSmartGuy: 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 "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.]]
* 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 what little it doesn’t she has plenty of attachments she can pick locks, pilot mecha, construct devices even perform surgery. You name it, this hair can do it.
* SwivelChairAntics: Gets up to one pretty intense spinning when doing here audio logs in the second season talking about her
* TamerAndChaster: Wearing overalls, even with a few cut out here and there leaves a lot less skin showing then in her original incarnation who was basically wearing a Camisole.
* TastesLikeFriendship: Played with. She's quick to like lots of people, but mentions that she befriended Catra in "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.
* 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: 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 human woman in a romantic relationship with a big scary alien (though this Hordak is 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 manic 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 use in the field comes from fixing malfunctioning technology or building it as a beetle is happening 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 keystone to destroy the KeystoneArmy.
* VagueAge: Remarks by [WordOfSaintPaul Rae Geiger the Character designer] describes her as a short adult of 25-35 years old, but many fans [[OlderThanTheyLook assumed her to be a teenager closer in age to Adora]].
* 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 Season 3 finale.]]
** Despite being manipulated by Catra she’s able to work with her and hangs out with her about Darla
* 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 complete lack 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. 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.]]
* [[WorldsSmartestMan WorldsSmartestWoman]]: Goes from making Robots to totally overhauling 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.]]
* [YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]: Entrapta’s hair color isn’t that weird compared to some of the hair colors on Etheria but as the Patreon Q&As says it’s entirely artificial.

to:

!!Entrapta, Princess of Dryl
!!!'''Voiced by''': Christine Woods (English), Leyla Rangel (Latin American Spanish), Rei Shimada (Japanese)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/entrapta.png]]
->''"Imperfection is what makes scientific experimentation possible. Imperfection is beautiful. At least to me."''

Entrapta is cheerful and manic. Many things set her apart from the other princesses, including her flowing, prehensile hair and her love for machines and robots. She prioritizes her scientific research above her social life and she'd much rather study relationships than create any of her own. Though, it does bother her that she is often misunderstood by her peers.
-----
* AdaptationalAchillesHeel: If some cool piece of technology shows up, consider her gone for the foreseeable future. Netossa notices this.
* 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.
* 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]].
* 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.]]
* AdaptationDyeJob: Averted 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 people’s screens will be able to show that.
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Entrapta’s reaction to seeing the cloning vats with Primes’ clones and his guards is to gush and clutching 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 cheerful as ever.
* AirventPassageway: ''Loves'' traveling via vent, 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
See 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.]]
* AmbiguousDisorder: Subverted -- character designs for Season 4 outright [[https://i.imgur.com/nJSe1vv.png referred to her as autistic]] and a Twitter post from Noelle confirmed Entrapta was written as such. Storyboard artist Sam Szymanski is on the spectrum and apparently had a hand in figuring out her movements and her character arc. Entrapta is hyper-focused on science and technology, is most comfortable when working on a project instead of socializing, is not good at reading people's moods or picking up on social cues (though she's not entirely oblivious to them), and has a straightforward and literal way of thinking. She also has some more minor idiosyncrasies, such as her liking for tiny foods and preferring to move about the Fright Zone through the air ducts because she finds it easier to get where she's going.
* 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 "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 her interest in their tech), when she was on the side 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 found true friends in Scorpia and Catra for once and eventually got on Hordak's good graces and 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, it is made clear that in spite of her being good and trying to help the other princesses still treat her rather badly for her quirks and personality.
* 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.
* 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.
* CatchPhrase: "TA-DA!" and "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 turn her castle into a giant unnavigable labyrinth, well, that's just Tuesday.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In "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 being reclusive scientists who see themselves as failures.
* 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 "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'.
* CuteButCacophonic: She's a short, wide-eyed, energetic woman who can be ''very'' loud.
* {{Cyborg}}: According to a Patreon Q&A, 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 Different In The Adaptation]]: 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.
* FatalFlaw: She has a vast curiosity. Usually not a flaw, but combined with a complete disregard for consequence, it is. 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: 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 girls has some wires crossed. At one point she gets turned on from being scanned.
* 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.]]
* GoodCounterpart:
** To Hordak. Whereas he's obsessed with perfection, she embraces and thinks imperfections are beautiful. He sees science as a means to an end, but Entrapta loves science itself, which gives her insights that he can often miss.
** Also to [[spoiler:Horde Prime. Both are technologically proficient. Both have prehensile "hair". Both surround themselves with servants of their own creation (robots for Entrapta, clones for Horde Prime), some of whom develop free will (the robots in the Valley of the Lost for Entrapta, Hordak for Horde Prime). Both know about Hordak's secrets, but while Entrapta finds them out from a willing Hordak in the context of friendship, Horde Prime finds them out from an unwilling Hordak through a frightening mind probe. Both change Hordak in profound ways -- Entrapta by embracing Hordak's imperfections and stirring feelings of love in him, and Horde Prime by mind-wiping him.]]
* HarmlessElectrocution: Has a habit of being electrocuted: when she was first introduced she took enough voltage to make her [XRaySparks skeleton is visible] but then she picks up the conversation like nothing happened. She takes a few zaps every season with no ill effect.
* HeldGaze: [[spoiler:With Hordak in "Huntara". In Season 5, the two secretly meet near a Galactic Horde spire and share another held gaze.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** "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 "Failsafe". He shows her the LUVD crystal he is holding in his hand, and she places her hand in his.]]
* HollywoodAutism: Thankfully, averted. 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]].
** Noelle 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.
* 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.]]
* 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.
* MadnessPlace: When Entrapta’s working and focused she can not be diverted. Perfume 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
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Serves as one for Hordak along with being his MoralityPet.
* 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.
* MegaTwintails: Keeps her RapunzelHair in two enormous strands.
* 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 "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 "The Price of Power", she squishes Catra's cheeks with her prehensile hair [[spoiler:and cheerfully announces that she saved Catra's life. In "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 Rae 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, [[NiceShoes 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 "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 "No Princess Left Behind". Entrapta is even shown climbing and walking using just her hair.
* ThePromise: [[Averted]] She says sh;’ll [[ReunionVow come back]] for the unnamed gorilla Mech she created on Beast Island but that’s never shown.
** According to Word of Noelle 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.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair's longer than she is tall.
* 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 Noelle they’ll meet again when hordak does his Community service on Beast Island and Entrapta accompanies him
* {{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 "Launch", and remarks that she wants to have "quality time" with Darla (Mara's ship) while seductively cocking her eyebrows in "Stranded."
** During a June 9, 2020 [[https://youtu.be/zOFJHXBGDoc Twitch livestream]], showrunner [[WordOfGod Noelle Stevenson]] said that Entrapta has lots of robot boyfriends and girlfriends.
* 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: Rae Geiger, the [WordOfSaintPaul Lead Character Designer] Entrapta's cyber-hair was inspired by Music/HatsuneMiku and her personality by [[Film/Ghostbusters2016 Jillian Holtzmann]].
* TheSmartGuy: 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 "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.]]
* 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 what little it doesn’t she has plenty of attachments she can pick locks, pilot mecha, construct devices even perform surgery. You name it, this hair can do it.
* SwivelChairAntics: Gets up to one pretty intense spinning when doing here audio logs in the second season talking about her
* TamerAndChaster: Wearing overalls, even with a few cut out here and there leaves a lot less skin showing then in her original incarnation who was basically wearing a Camisole.
* TastesLikeFriendship: Played with. She's quick to like lots of people, but mentions that she befriended Catra in "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.
* 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: 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 human woman in a romantic relationship with a big scary alien (though this Hordak is 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 manic 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 use in the field comes from fixing malfunctioning technology or building it as a beetle is happening 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 keystone to destroy the KeystoneArmy.
* VagueAge: Remarks by [WordOfSaintPaul Rae Geiger the Character designer] describes her as a short adult of 25-35 years old, but many fans [[OlderThanTheyLook assumed her to be a teenager closer in age to Adora]].
* 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 Season 3 finale.]]
** Despite being manipulated by Catra she’s able to work with her and hangs out with her about Darla
* 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 complete lack 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. 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.]]
* [[WorldsSmartestMan WorldsSmartestWoman]]: Goes from making Robots to totally overhauling 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.]]
* [YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]: Entrapta’s hair color isn’t that weird compared to some of the hair colors on Etheria but as the Patreon Q&As says it’s entirely artificial.

* AdaptationalAchillesHeel: If some cool piece of technology shows up, consider her gone for the foreseeable future. Netossa notices this.



* 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: Her hair was orange in the original series, however, it was pink in the toy line and in the comics. Here it's purple.

* 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.]]
*
AdaptationDyeJob: Averted Her hair was orange ‘’’was’’’ purple in the original series, however, but given how some televisions were configured it could show up as orange. It was closer to the intended pink in & purple with the toy line and in the comics. Here it's purple.a solid purple and most people’s screens will be able to show that.



* 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.



* AmbiguousDisorder: Subverted -- character designs for Season 4 outright [[https://i.imgur.com/nJSe1vv.png referred to her as autistic]] and a Twitter post from Noelle confirmed Entrapta was written as such. Storyboard artist Sam Szymanski is on the spectrum and apparently had a hand in figuring out her movements and her character arc. Entrapta is hyper-focused on science and technology, is most comfortable when working on a project instead of socializing, is not good at reading people's moods or picking up on social cues (though she's not entirely oblivious to them), and has a straightforward and literal way of thinking. She also has some more minor idiosyncrasies, such as her like for tiny foods and preferring to move about the Fright Zone through the air ducts because she finds it easier to get where she's going.

* BreakTheCutie: Thought 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]].

*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.



* CoolMask: Has a welding mask that looks interesting but her second one at Beast Island is an insectile piece that looks very cool.



** 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 is the Fright Zone's only known foodstuff. If that was the base of Entrapta's soup, small wonder it was unappetizing.

* CreepyGood: Besides being an amoral scientist, she lives in a dark and shadowy castle filled with deathtraps 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'.

* 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 a extremely gifted and intelligent GadgeteerGenius.

* GadgeteerGenius: 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



* GeekyTurnOn: Anything technology advanced enough or interesting can get her going, the girls has some wires crossed. At one point she gets turned on from being scanned.



* HarmlessElectrocution: Has a habit of being electrocuted: when she was first introduced she took enough voltage to make her [XRaySparks skeleton is visible] but then she picks up the conversation like nothing happened. She takes a few zaps every season with no ill effect.



* 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 cybernetic implants.

* 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.]]



* MadScientist: Her experiments are always first in her thoughts. The consequences maybe come second. She's a more well-meaning example of the trope, however.

* MadnessPlace: When Entrapta’s working and focused she can not be diverted. Perfume 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

* 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.]]



* 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]]. While collaborating with Hordak, she also increases her knowledge about interdimensional portals, which would require mastery of advanced physics.

** According to Word of Noelle it's eventually PlayedStraight: Entrapta always keeps her promises and in fact ‘’does’’ reunite with it when she goes to Beast Island with Hordak.



* ReunionVow: Makes one to the unnamed gorilla mech she met or constructed on Beast island. According to Word of Noelle they’ll meet again when hordak does his Community service on Beast Island and Entrapta accompanies him

* TheSmartGuy: For the Rebellion, and later for the Horde. She continually researches and makes robotics and machines. Considering Bow's status as the Rebellion's "tech specialist", it's likely they share this role.

* TheXenophile: She 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.

* BetterOffWithTheBadGuys: This becomes one of the main reasons for her defection to the Horde (alongside her interest in their tech), when she was on the side 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 found true friends in Scorpia and Catra for once and eventually got on Hordak's good graces and 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, it is made clear that in spite of her being good and trying to help the other princesses still treat her rather badly for her quirks and personality.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/entrapta.png]]
->''"Imperfection is what makes scientific experimentation possible. Imperfection is beautiful. At least to me."''

Entrapta is cheerful and manic. Many things set
her page [[Characters/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerEntrapta here]]apart from the other princesses, including her flowing, prehensile hair and her love for machines and robots. She prioritizes her scientific research above her social life and she'd much rather study relationships than create any of her own. Though, it does bother her that she is often misunderstood by her peers.
-----
* 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.
* 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: Her hair was orange in the original series, however, it was pink in the toy line and in the comics. Here it's purple.
* AdmiringTheAbomination: Entrapta’s reaction to seeing the cloning vats with Primes’ clones and his guards is to gush and clutching her hair, while Bow is panicking since they’ve been discovered.
* AffablyEvil: Even after joining up with the Horde, she's as cheerful as ever.
* AirventPassageway: ''Loves'' traveling via vent, 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.]]
* AmbiguousDisorder: Subverted -- character designs for Season 4 outright [[https://i.imgur.com/nJSe1vv.png referred to her as autistic]] and a Twitter post from Noelle confirmed Entrapta was written as such. Storyboard artist Sam Szymanski is on the spectrum and apparently had a hand in figuring out her movements and her character arc. Entrapta is hyper-focused on science and technology, is most comfortable when working on a project instead of socializing, is not good at reading people's moods or picking up on social cues (though she's not entirely oblivious to them), and has a straightforward and literal way of thinking. She also has some more minor idiosyncrasies, such as her like for tiny foods and preferring to move about the Fright Zone through the air ducts because she finds it easier to get where she's going.
* 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 "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.
* 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: Thought 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.
* CatchPhrase: "TA-DA!" and "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 turn her castle into a giant unnavigable labyrinth, well, that's just Tuesday.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In "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 being reclusive scientists who see themselves as failures.
* 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 is the Fright Zone's only known foodstuff. If that was the base of Entrapta's soup, small wonder it was unappetizing.
** In "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 deathtraps 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'.
* CuteButCacophonic: She's a short, wide-eyed, energetic woman who can be ''very'' loud.
* {{Cyborg}}: According to a Patreon Q&A, 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 a 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.
* FatalFlaw: She has a vast curiosity. Usually not a flaw, but combined with a complete disregard for consequence, it is. 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: 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.
* GenkiGirl: Perennially peppy and inquisitive in the face of almost any situation.
* 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.]]
* GoodCounterpart:
** To Hordak. Whereas he's obsessed with perfection, she embraces and thinks imperfections are beautiful. He sees science as a means to an end, but Entrapta loves science itself, which gives her insights that he can often miss.
** Also to [[spoiler:Horde Prime. Both are technologically proficient. Both have prehensile "hair". Both surround themselves with servants of their own creation (robots for Entrapta, clones for Horde Prime), some of whom develop free will (the robots in the Valley of the Lost for Entrapta, Hordak for Horde Prime). Both know about Hordak's secrets, but while Entrapta finds them out from a willing Hordak in the context of friendship, Horde Prime finds them out from an unwilling Hordak through a frightening mind probe. Both change Hordak in profound ways -- Entrapta by embracing Hordak's imperfections and stirring feelings of love in him, and Horde Prime by mind-wiping him.]]
* HeldGaze: [[spoiler:With Hordak in "Huntara". In Season 5, the two secretly meet near a Galactic Horde spire and share another held gaze.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** "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 "Failsafe". He shows her the LUVD crystal he is holding in his hand, and she places her hand in his.]]
* HollywoodAutism: Thankfully, averted. 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]].
** Noelle 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.
* 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 cybernetic implants.
* 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.]]
* MadScientist: Her experiments are always first in her thoughts. The consequences maybe come second. She's a more well-meaning example of the trope, however.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Serves as one for Hordak along with being his MoralityPet.
* 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.
* MegaTwintails: Keeps her RapunzelHair in two enormous strands.
* 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 mecha out of technology she scrounged.]]
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Catra makes Entrapta believe that the princesses deliberately abandoned her to get her to join the Horde.
* MoralityPet: After bonding with Hordak, she becomes someone the EvilOverlord considers a friend. [[spoiler:In "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.




to:

[[folder:N-Z]]
* NerdyNasalness: Her voice is nasaly, 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 "The Price of Power", she squishes Catra's cheeks with her prehensile hair [[spoiler:and cheerfully announces that she saved Catra's life. In "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.
* OddFriendship: A relentlessly cheerful woman who befriends Hordak, an antisocial warlord.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Online comments from character designer Rae 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]]. 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, [[NiceShoes 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 "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 "No Princess Left Behind". Entrapta is even shown climbing and walking using just her hair.
* 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.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair's longer than she is tall.
* 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.
* {{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 "Launch", and remarks that she wants to have "quality time" with Darla (Mara's ship) while seductively cocking her eyebrows in "Stranded."
** During a June 9, 2020 [[https://www.twitch.tv/mollyostertag Twitch livestream]], showrunner [[WordOfGod Noelle Stevenson]] said that Entrapta has lots of robot boyfriends and girlfriends.
* 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: 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.
* TheSmartGuy: For the Rebellion, and later for the Horde. She 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 for Hordak after he collapses in "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.]]
* 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.
* TastesLikeFriendship: Played with. She's quick to like lots of people, but mentions that she befriended Catra in "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.
* 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.
* TrapMaster: 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 ensures her that it's all over now and forgives her rather easily]].
* UglyGuyHotWife: A conventionally attractive human woman in a romantic relationship with a big scary alien (though this Hordak is 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 manic laughter when she gets excited about a project, but her snorting gets across that she isn't malevolent.
* 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.
* VagueAge: Semi-canon remarks by one of the show's crew describes her as a short adult of 25-35 years old, but many fans [[OlderThanTheyLook assumed her to be a teenager closer in age to Adora]].
* 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 Season 3 finale.]]
* 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 go 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 complete lack of combat skills [[spoiler:grabbing her hair can effectively immobilize her]].
* 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]].]]
* WildCard: 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. [[spoiler:It's only in the last season that she makes a deliberate, focused effort to assist the Rebellion.]]
* 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.]]
* 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: She 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.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Entrapta has purple hair.
