Lonnie is awesome and doesnât get enough love. Iâm hoping she and the rest of B-Squad get more screentime in season 5 by joining the Rebellion. OR MAYBE, leading the Horde forces in tandem with the Rebellion as they ALL fight Horde Prime.
1.) How I feel about this character:
We arenât given much about Lonnie, but I like her! I think she gives off the vibe of someone super capable and talented whoâs being held back by her âcoworkersâ and her environment. I hope she gets a chance to flourish outside the Horde, since Iâm pretty sure she and the other abandoned it after Season 4.
2.) Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character:
I think Scorpia and Lonnie have rights. Theyâve had a few surprisingly cute moment within canon. Iâm also of the firm believe that none of the Horde kids were taught anything about romance and had to figure it out for themselves. She and Adora definitely made out in a closet once and then never talked about it again.
3.) My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character:
We havenât seen her interact a lot with anyone whoâs not Horde. But if I may speculate, I can see Lonnie and Mermista being great buds. They both have the same âweâre way cooler than you and we know itâ vibes... In fact, Iâd like to add Mermista to my above answer.
4.) My unpopular opinion about this character:
Lonnie is not a bully. Or rather, sheâs no more of a bully than literally ANYONE else in the Horde it. They all seem to have been raised to be constantly competitive and at eachotherâs throats for survival. The only one who was nice was Adora, because sheâs Adora. So when I see Catra and Lonnie being pitted at each other for who was worse during season 4 I get frustrated. The Horde is a twisted environment thatâs very dog eat dog. Theyâre all out to get each other in one way or another because thatâs how they stay alive. Not sure it makes her inherently a bad person or that she canât change outside of that environment.
5.) One thing I wish would happen in canon with this character:
I kind of hope Lonnie becomes the leader of something. She definitely has the skills and attitude to lead people, she should get that chance somehow.
6.) Favorite friendship for this character:
I really liked Noelleâs drawings of Lonnie carrying around baby Rogelio and Kyle. She protects her squad mates out of loyalty or genuine affection and thatâs cute.
Tough one... maybe someone just as tough and cool as her. Like... fuck it letâs go with another DC character: Cassie Sandsmark, Wondergirl. Bubbly enough to contrast Lonnie, but also literally strong enough to benchpress her if she gets testy.
