Cheetara was a female Thunderian noble who was also a member of the ThunderCats.
Cheetara had left the doomed planet of Thundera with her fellow ThunderCats. Leaving behind the planet, Cheetara was instructed by Jaga to wake Lion-O from sleep, which she did, despite the objections of Snarf. When the Mutants boarded their ship, Cheetara joined the other ThunderCats and bravely fought them off. She was given a new outfit and her Staff to help defend herself on their new home by Jaga, along with her fellow ThunderCats. Cheetara helped defend the ship from the attacking Mutants, going into suspension to make the journey to the new planet chosen as the ThunderCats' new home. She was then revived with the others when they reached their new home on Third Earth, and after defeating the Mutants, prepared with the others to build a new home.
Cheetara's amazing speed has often saved the other ThunderCats from deadly situations. Once when Tygra ventured into a mysterious cave, he found himself beginning to age rapidly, Cheetara was the only one who could get in and out of the cave fast enough to save Tygra from death.
When the time of Lion-O's Anointment Trials came, it was Cheetara's task, as the fastest of the ThunderCats, to try Lion-O in speed. Lion-O knew he could not beat Cheetara in a race and so took a dangerous western route as an alternative. Already miles ahead of Lion-O, Cheetara ran into the Mutants, who pursued her on land and underwater. Luckily Panthro arrived in the Thundertank to assist the outnumbered Cheetara. Cheetara was ahead by a mile and two thirds, eventually coming face to face with Lion-O, they raced alongside one another to the finish of their race. Lion-O knew he could not win the race in this way, but his sheer determination allowed him to. Lion-O at first believed Cheetara had let him win, something which offended her, as the code of Thundera forbade such action. The distance they ran actually exhausted Cheetara's super speed, and she told him that his determination not to lose had allowed him to win the race.

Trivia[]
- When Ikran was 10, she fantasized on 3 squads assisting the ThunderCats; she had Ducky from the Prehistoric Squad, Pipsy from the Diddy Kong Racing Squad, and Foxy from the Fast Bro Squad. Originally, she was going to have Conker; however, he's been disqualified for obvious reasons...
