Profile
Dale is Flash Gordon's constant companion in his adventures, as well as his one true love. The emperor Ming the Merciless is immediately attracted to her and the early strips were basically based on Flash’s heroic efforts to rescue Dale from Ming's many attempts to marry her.
Filmation’s Flash Gordon’s Bible portrayed Dale Arden as follows:
All errant knights have their true love, and in Flash's case it's Dale - beautiful, independent and capable. In most circumstances, Dale is well able to take care of herself and is an ideal companion for the adventuring Flash. Which is not to say that: she is unfeminine. Ming was only the first of Mongo's heroic -- though, in his case, absolutely evil -- rulers who have sought Dale Arden as their Queen. Dale is sensitive, warm and compassionate -- traits which occasionally lead her to trust the wrong person. Where Flash would gladly lay down his life to save her, Dale would do likewise. And the two of them, united, can face any peril that Mongo has to offer.Read more about this topic: Dale Arden

And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.”
