Plumeria is one of the main seven Kingdoms of Etheria within the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power series. It is ruled by Princess Perfuma.
Description[]
Plumeria is a forested, elemental agricultural kingdom, replete with plants and trees. The land is ancient and susceptible to damage and attack, as Plumeria has few military defenses.
The kingdom has the Heart-Blossom as its runestone, which lies at the center of its location, and is Perfuma's magic source.
The Plumerians appear to live primarily in tents and yurts while also making use of the abundance of trees by utilizing their branches to support their tents and to hang various other structures. They love to create arts and crafts, as is shown in "Flowers for She-Ra".
The people of Plumeria are optimistic, nature-loving, nonviolent, gentile, generous, and peaceful. However, their philosophy of non-aggression can be difficult to stay true to in times of war. They are also a family orientated people with many children and family units. They are also great with floral head wear, arts and crafts. They hold drum circles as part of their celebrations. In "Flowers for She-Ra", a little girl is seen handing a wind chime to She-Ra.
All Plumerians initially revered She-Ra as an all-powerful hero, thinking themselves lowly in comparison. An elder noted, "It is our honor to serve the She-Ra" as she gave her food and a little kid said "Whoa, that's She-Ra." They believed Bow's outlandish stories of She-Ra's heroic deeds, and they looked to her as their one and only hope to resist the Horde.
In "Flowers for She-Ra", according to Perfuma, they had been telling tales of the She-Ra for thousands of years, in one of which she was portrayed as "She-Ra, the warrior who tamed the beasts of Beast Island with a single word." According to legend, she also fought the "mantisaur." However, it is unknown whether or not this is true.
Their reliance on She-Ra changed when the people realized they couldn't depend on one fighter. They needed to also help themselves. When they joined Adora and her friends in battle, even children and elders took part. Storming into a Horde camp, a child screamed, "For the She-Ra!"
Plot[]
Past[]
Plumeria was founded thousands of years ago and its people have lived there for just as long.
Season One[]
In "Flowers for She-Ra", Plumeria is under siege by the Horde, and Queen Angella sends Glimmer, She-Ra, and Bow on a mission to bring the suffering kingdom supplies but not to engage with the enemy. On arrival, they discover that the power of The Heart-Blossom is fading, and the Plumerians implore She-Ra to heal the land from an unknown sickness. She-Ra is unsure of what to do, but she attempts to live up to the people's expectations which are set by Bow's exaggerated storytelling and Glimmer's confident support.
The Horde have set up a machine to pump toxins into the ground near Plumeria, poisoning their land and making it easier to invade. Inspired by the bravery of Adora and her friends, Perfuma and her people rally to aid them and defend themselves against the Horde's devious plan, restoring peace. Following this, the people of Plumeria agree to join the Rebellion against the Horde.
Princess Rebel Recruitment Shorts[]
Plumeria appears in the Princess Rebel Recruitment Short “Meditation With Perfuma”.
Swift Wind Adventures Shorts[]
The Swift Wind Adventure Short “Unicorn Warrior Training!” is centered in Plumeria. In it, Perfuma is leading the Plumerians through a guided meditation to help them "find their inner warrior," without much success, when Swift Wind shows up. Perfuma asks Swift Wind to help them become mighty Rebels, so Swift Wind tries to train them; however, as Perfuma notes, he is "maybe... [not] the best teacher" for them, and his methods "seem a bit horse-oriented." Then a Horde soldier comes out of a bush and charges at the Plumerians, who use the methods Swift Wind taught them to defeat the Horde soldier.
