Netossa is the Rebellion's highly-skilled capturer.
Netossa,
the only black female to have graced the She-Ra Princess of Power
series, originally arrived in
Bright Moon whilst on a spring holiday with Spinnerella. It is
apparent from her debut episode that both she
and Spinnerella originally came from a place where there is no
Rebellion - and thus outlining the iron-grip
the Horde has on the entire planet. Because of this, Hordak used
Spinnerella's ignorance to his advantage;
he had Netossa taken prisoner and blamed the Rebels for her
capture. Caring only for the safety of her friend,
Spinnerella helped the Horde enter Whispering Woods, in the vain
hope that they would help 'free' Netossa
from the Rebellion. Spinnerella realised that she had been
tricked, after Netossa showed up with She-Ra, sent
the Horde packing and thus joined the Great Rebellion. [78]
The
relationship between the two seems to be a very strong one - not
only did Spinnerella jump at the
oppurtunity to save her friend, Netossa also her 'sister' to
reassure her that no hard-feelings had been caused
for attacking the Rebels.
Her
prime ability is one of the more realistic powers expressed in
the series. No magical aid or mythical source
allowed her to throw nets strapped to her back - that was all her
own work, putting her on a par, skill-wise, with
Bow. She captured a moving Catra after being thrown by She-Ra, [91] and a threatening
Horde Trooper - her
precision is shown by the fact that she threw this particular net
through the bars on her cell-door! [78]
However,
although Netossa's job was to capture her enemies, it seems
ironic that three out of her four
appearances saw her as an easy target for Horde imprisonments.
The Spinnerella-incident gave Netossa her
first invite to the Fright Zone Dungeons, and soon after that she
was trapped in a freezing ice-block [87] and
then in a magical painting! [88] Some people are just
unlucky, I guess...
