Catra removes the headpiece at the moment of her mental breakdown and lets it fall, together with the walls she had built to keep herself from feeling the emptiness of her life. Its absence reflects her vulnerability. 💔

In S1E1 Catra slept on Adora's bed, in a room with many others, with the headpiece on day & night (must have been uncomfortable). After moving to her private Force Captain's room she maybe felt safer & started taking it off for night.
(1/4) Catra's headpiece: Random thoughts
When Catra let her headpiece fall, the sound revealed that it's made of metal. I had thought it was something like hardened leather that might be comfortable to wear because it's constantly framing her face - day & night, hot or cold.
Could be that Catra was upset because her trap had not worked the way she had hoped...
Or could be that Catra was also upset because that cold glare was all she could expect to get from Adora after every interaction since the portal (S3E6). https://t.co/AMfSp9PPH9

SW: "You remind me of myself. You always have."
Catra: "--- I am nothing like you. You are old, and bitter, and weak."
Adora calls SW bitter and cruel (lacking in compassion);
Catra calls SW bitter and weak (lacking in strength/power).
"Not like you" = "nothing like you."
(1/4) Shadow Weaver *preparing* Adora and Catra & getting called out (parallels)
SW: "I prepared you for greatness."
Adora: "You never loved me. You just played twisted mind games."
SW prepared Adora for greatness while Adora just wanted to be loved.
Shadow Weaver may have favored Adora, BUT she never showed her any love either. 💔😞
"These are my friends. They've been kind to me. Something you never were."
"You never loved me. You just played twisted mind games. --- You are bitter and cruel, and you're the one who used me!"
Madame Razz in S4E9
- waiting for a guest: Makes a mess of her cottage 🤔
- lighting a fire: Just snaps her fingers 😮
And when Razz returns to her cottage with the berries, Adora follows and is winded & panting when she finally arrives. -> Razz can outrun ADORA???

Light Hope fluctuating between her "old self" and reprogrammed task-oriented self.
"Don't. Do it. Do it. Don't. Don't. Do it."
"Adora? Thank you."

LH informing the current She-Ra re: lack of choices:
"To bear the power of She-Ra is an honor. This is your destiny. You do not choose."
To be the Chosen One is to lose all agency in your life - and to affect the lives of others (and planets!) whether you want to or not.
