Annual Monthly Suggestion (What if… )

What if… Catra was left on literally anyone’s doorstep besides Shadow Weaver’s? She grows up with Angella, Entrapta, Huntara, Razz, etc.?

What fascinating stories could emerge from these four alternate universes! Each one presents exciting possibilities for character development and their impact on the world of Etheria:

Catra and Huntara ruling the Crimson Waste as sisters:
Two strong, determined women with an unbreakable bond ruling the desert. Catra, with her cunning and ferocity, would perfectly complement Huntara’s strength and natural leadership. Together, they would have transformed the Crimson Waste into an impenetrable fortress, a refuge for the oppressed, and an impossible challenge for the Horde or any other enemy. Their alliance could have even redefined the politics of Etheria, taking the rebellion to the next level with strategies and a network of allies no one could foresee.

Catra raised under Angella’s loving wings:
In this universe, Angella would have taken Catra in as her own daughter, giving her the home and love she always lacked. A close relationship with Glimmer during their childhood would have instilled in Catra the values of sisterhood, trust, love, and empathetic leadership. As adults, Catra and Glimmer would have formed an unbeatable duo at the helm of the rebellion: Glimmer with her strategic cunning and magical abilities, and Catra with her fierce instincts and charismatic leadership. The war against the Horde would have ended much sooner, with far less suffering.

Catra raised alongside Madame Razz:
What would have happened if Catra had grown up under the eccentric and wise influence of Madame Razz? In this scenario, Razz would have nurtured Catra’s imagination and curiosity, teaching her to see the world with creativity and humor. The forest would have become her sanctuary, a place to experiment and learn about the magic and connections that bind Etheria together. In time, she would have met Adora in a chance encounter, and their friendship would have been born in freedom and discovery, rather than rivalry. Together, they would have faced the Horde with a much stronger bond.

Catra raised alongside Entrapta:
In this universe, Entrapta would never have known loneliness because Catra would have been her companion from the start. Catra’s imagination and Entrapta’s technological genius would have fused into a unique relationship, where each would inspire the other to create amazing things. Together, they would have developed revolutionary inventions, perhaps even before the Horde could use them for evil. Their bond would have resulted in an innovative team that could have changed the course of history, creating solutions instead of weapons.

Without Catra in her life, Adora would certainly turn out differently too. I imagine Shadow Weaver would simply use another Horde recruit as leverage against her. That’s what abusers do, they pivot, pit others against each other so they can’t rally against them. Maybe in one reality she’d have a bitter rivalry with Lonnie, resulting in an even more arrogant and competitive Adora. Things like that.

With Angella I reckon she will be more focused on the strategic part of war! But yeah she will be a bit spoiled probably XD

Okay scratch out the lack of flaws, but Catra would gain these abilities and she still would be spoiled if raised by Queen Angella though (imo) ... ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Totes intriguing indeed of the 'What Ifs' scenarios for Catra and she never were raised by Shadow Weaver. At the same time, it scares me of what poor Adora would be like once these two meet (if ever)??!! I can see Catra being raised by all of those adults shown above (Queen Angella, Madame Razz, Huntara, and Princess Entrapta) yet they all would have lacked with flaws. With Queen Angella, Catra would lack any ability to fight like she naturally should (maybe?), she would most definitely be spoiled. With Huntara, Catra would most definitely know how to fight, survive in the desert, and work at the bar (when she reach age appropriate). With Madame Razz, Catra would most definitely know how to cook, would already know of this Adora(?), and she would be at peace with nature (Whispering Woods or her habitat (not wild but tamed). And with Entrapta, Catra would be the next smartest tech genius perhaps mastering in computers(tech) more than she would with the science part, even though she would understand the science lingos/jargons. It would to major noice if any SPOP author write about each four (4) specific different dynamics of young Catra's life ... 💯🥰

Any version of Catra, no matter how wholesome or well balanced, is going to have a mischievous streak a mile wide.

HotDog89

Such fun options to consider, and a couple that I've never though of before too!

TrueBW3

Brilliant. There would be downsides, of course. The sibling rivalry between Glimmer and Catra would be intense as they got older, all the moreso when Adora finally turns up. Growing up with Razz would be stressful, Catra might find herself taking care of the temporally displaced Razz more than would being raised BY her. And she’d have to stand up to all the princesses when they meet Entrapta. But they would all still be better than Shadow Weaver. I wonder how their respective Adora’s would turn out?

😭💗 They're all so cute! To see catra grow up happy and loved

Lucina Lankford

for sure!

Lisra

These are all stellar. <3

Those are absolutely amazing and I love the ideas of "what if" you came up with, Iria! 🥰 My favourite is the Bright Moon one, mostly because Catra would’ve grown up with another child close to her own age and Angella would’ve been such a great mom to her. And both, Glimmer and Catra, look SO adorable as children in your style! 😍

Lyssandia

Neurodivergent solidarity, maybe?

HotDog89

Catra and Entrapta grow up together never crossed my mind before but I am now obsessed 👀

Nny11

Noooo I love these ideas! What great little summaries of how the world and the loves of each of these characters would be different if Catra had been able to grow up somewhere else! Wonderful work, both with these concepts and the art! I love badass Huntara and Catra, Wastelands Catra looks so good! Catra raised in Brightmoon and Dryl looks adorable, and I love how at peace Catra looks with Razz. <3 <3 Honestly, my favourites ideas here are Catra raised as a child with Razz and Entrapta, and it sent my head spinning with ideas. XD Thank you for sharing these!

Branden Bull

I really love these! Haha! Jealous Glimmer! I mean, that's pretty much how that would play out!

Largemovingtorb

Now i won't lie the others sound interesting but hearing about catra growing up in brightmoon sounds way too good
