Mermista/Sea Hawk

Salineas's perpetually unimpressed princess and the shanty-singing sailor who sets his own boats on fire are She-Ra's canon comedy couple. Mermista's groaning exasperation never quite hides that she keeps Sea Hawk around by choice, and his devotion to her is the one thing he never exaggerates. Fandom adores the deadpan-meets-drama energy.
