truth about her mother from Eternia's Oracle of the Crystal Sea, but an emotionally distraught Sorceress erases the revelation from Teela's memory for her own protection, even though the Sorceress desperately wishes she could tell Teela the truth. Teela's Quest also specifies that Mer-Man's attempt at abducting the infant Teela took place exactly 20 years earlier; thus, it implies that she is just over 20 years old. In the second-season episode, The Great Books Mystery, Adam celebrates his 19th birthday, so they are approximately the same age. Teela's biological father is never revealed; Man-At-Arms says he was one of Eternia's greatest men. However, the Oracle, the Sorceress, and Man-At-Arms all agree that he died in battle. Teela's ties to Grayskull are revisited in the episode Teela's Triumph when Skeletor sends the Sorceress to another dimension, leaving Teela to take the Sorceress' place as guardian of Grayskull until she returns. Despite her excellent fighting skills and generally being sensible and level-headed, Teela has a reckless streak like that of a wild tomboy, a far cry from her mother's soft-spoken temperament. In the Filmation series, Teela's recklessness and quick temper in situations that she does not agree with often lead to poor judgment, which results in dangerous situations. Unaware of Adam's dual-identity and duties that go with it, Teela often reprimands him for being lazy, cowardly and inattentive to his training, though the second-season episode The Problem with Power suggests a clear romantic tension with He-Man. The New Adventures of He-Man (1990) In the series The New Adventures of He-Man, which ran from 1990-1991, Teela makes one appearance in the episode Once Upon a Time, a rare reference to the vintage Filmation series. However, she bears no resemblance to her Filmation counterpart, being portrayed with long blond hair instead of red hair. This was how she was featured in the very first mini-comic, though some fans have theorized she was redesigned to resemble He-Man's sister, She-Ra. She wears a pink leotard, rather than the usual white one. She is voiced by Cathy Weseluck. Masters of the Universe vs. The Snake Men (2002 series) The basic outline of her character remains the same in the 2002 series, but is taken to a greater extreme due to a difference in censors and restrictions. She still teases or reprimands Adam for his apparent lack of courage and gumption while harboring an unspoken and unconsummated crush
