When Adora is unsure / overcome with doubt, she cannot channel She-Ra & transform. That's why she couldn't do it when turning Horsey to Swift Wind, or when manipulated by SW in Mystacor, or on Beast island at first. There she realized her self-doubt was holding her back.

She-Ra is susceptible to infection by an ancient virus, designed to affect her via the sword's runestone. Overcome by pain, then berserk killing rage, and finally inebriated w/ no memory of the events at all. Losing all sanity at the blink of an eye must be terrifying.

While Adora has some of her choices made for her by the role of She-Ra, she also has some extra agency. She can make her voice heard & decisions respected easier than just anyone.
"I told you both to stay out of here."
"She's She-Ra, Mom. What do you expect me to do?"

In the Battle of Bright Moon, She-Ra gave it her all but finally had to admit defeat. Her friends did not judge her. That moment highlighted that even as She-Ra with her powers, Adora is still human (First One but still) with limited resources and human weaknesses.
(15/30)
She-Ra is powerful but not omnipotent. At first Adora has problems accepting this; reflecting her own uncertainties & self-doubt into the She-Ra side of her, thinking that if Adora can't do everything necessary, She-Ra should be able to. She NEEDS to save everyone.

Adora: "I wanna be the best She-Ra, I wanna protect the planet. But Catra, she's just in my head." Adora admits to LH that Catra (even as simulation) distracts her when she's training as She-Ra, affecting her performance. The same happens at meetings as Adora...
(13/30)
Adora seems to enjoy the transformation and, at times, also its effect on people (especially enemies). She never hesitates to turn into She-Ra at the slightest reason, and there's pure joy on her face when she does it for fun or a mundane task, without danger or battle.

Bow: "She-Ra could've caused an avalanche."
She-Ra: "But she didn't, okay?"
"Know about She-Ra? I AM She-Ra."
Adora talks about She-Ra in the 3rd person as a separate entity. At times she point-blank says "I'm She-Ra." She's Adora but ALSO She-Ra, and identities overlap.

When Glimmer and Bow had been captured, Angella said "If we had She-Ra we might have a chance, but without the Sword of Protection..." - unwittingly emphasizing that only She-Ra & the sword matter. Luckily, Adora does NOT give up. Maybe that's what inspired Angella in S3.

...people giving her flowers, food, gifts & their babies (to be blessed?), chanting "She-Ra! She-Ra!" & expecting her to singlehandedly save the kingdom. It must have been overwhelming. Finally, having to deal with their disappointment when they saw she was "just a girl".
(4/30)
On her FIRST mission as She-Ra, Adora was the focus of ridiculous amounts of hero worship. Heralded as the long-awaited nearly-mythical heroine; learning there were ancient stories of She-Ra's heroics she needed to match; Bow inventing unreal stories of her achievements...
(3/30)
Initially it was necessary for She-Ra to take over not only Adora's body but also her MIND. Adora would not have known what She-Ra was capable of without the magic showing it to her first-hand. She-Ra deflected, struck & leapt with Adora hardly aware what she was doing.
(2/30)
The first times Adora transformed, she was startled. She-Ra was expressionless and going through the motions like an automaton. She did not even recognize Glimmer or Bow. Afterwards Adora was disoriented, fell to her knees, and her vision blurred.
@mossygator_ I just tweeted something here but I deleted because I changed my mind:
Double Trouble from She-Ra!!
