Flora is the Fairy of Nature. She hails from Linphea, where she currently acts as its Guardian Fairy. She is Helia's girlfriend. The team usually relies on her for potions and magic advice. Flora is one of the founding members of the Winx Club, being the third Winx girl introduced after Bloom and Stella, and is an alumna/student of the Alfea College for Fairies as of The Secret of the Lost Kingdom.
Appearance[]
Flora is tan-skinned with long light-brown hair that has bangs framing on either side of her face where it has visible blonde streaks with a single small hair strand sticking up (it is sometimes unseen in both her civilian and fairy forms) and narrow green-jade eyes.
Civilian[]
- For Season 1 and most of Season 2, Flora wears a bright yellowish-green off-the-shoulder smock top with puffy short sleeves that bares her midriff and belly, a pink wrap miniskirt with little slits on both sides and with strawberry patterns of a darker shade with a thin yellow belt that hangs midway down the skirt, two sets of yellow bangle bracelets on each arm (in some occasions, she wears two purple bangles and a yellow green set too), and pink platform sandals with fuchsia-colored flowers by her ankles. She also wears large golden hoop earrings.
- For Seasons 2 and 3, Flora wears a pink short-sleeved midriff with a darker pink trim and puffy sleeves with dark pink polka dots, a fuchsia sash over a layered red skirt with maroon shorts underneath, pink knee-high socks and red platform shoes to match her skirt. She retains her large golden hoop earrings and also wears a green choker tied neatly around her neck with a bow, as well as two bead bracelets around her right wrist; one green and one pink.
- For Season 4, Flora wears a small pink sundress with lime-green straps, a matching lime-green ribbon that wraps around her waist just below her chest, and a floral print that makes up most of her dress and comes in white, green, yellow, pink and fuchsia. She also wears green platform heels that are secured to her feet by pastel pink ribbons.
- For Season 5, Flora's hair is now tied up into a ponytail by a pink headband with a bright green bow. She wears a pink, soft jagged-edged, sleeveless shirt with a grass green vest, as well as a sharp-edged layered skirt that alternates between pink with white trim and fuschia with green trim all topped by a pink belt with a square silver buckle, and knee-high fuchsia-colored boots with lime knee-high edge ruffle socks and green high heels.
- For Season 6, Flora's hair remains tied up into a ponytail much like her appearance in the previous season, but she has pieces of hair held up with a big pink bow that leans more towards her right side instead. She wears a small royal blue coat/vest with a starry plaid pattern over a white dress shirt; the collar possessing a black tie wrapped around it neatly, ending in a bow. She also wears a pink skirt with a small blue bow on the waist, purple and pink striped leggings and light blue heels with black bows on the toes. She also wears a small starry bracelet around her left wrist.
- For Season 7, Flora's hair is no longer tied up and she wears a pastel green headband. She wears a green short-sleeved wool top with dark blue trim over a pale pink button-up dress shirt with a dark blue tie accompanied by a pink flower pin worn around the collar, a pink skirt with a dark blue plaid pattern and trim, green socks that are partially folded over to keep them at knee-high length, and dark blue shoes with pink soles, laces and a pink and dark blue plaid pattern on the front to match with her skirt. Her dress shirt is also only half-tucked into her skirt.
- For Season 8, Flora keeps her hair down (similar to her appearance in the prior season as well as the first four except that she appears to no longer have the small hair strand) where she wears a lilac-colored headband that has a purple layered flower on the left side. She wears a lilac-colored shawl decorated with a white floral pattern over a long-sleeved, fuchsia-colored shirt almost long enough to be considered as a dress, which ends in a pastel pink petticoat and pale pink ruffles at her sleeves. She also wears pastel blue, knee-high socks with a white lace trim and brown boots with the same white lace trim and faux-fur around her ankles.
Fairy Forms[]
As the self-proclaimed Fairy of Nature, many of Flora's Fairy Forms retain a flowery theme to them; namely that of a pink rose. While pink stands as the signature color of Flora's various forms with green as an accent, some forms have the colors reversed with green as the primary color and pink as its accent.
Personality[]
Flora is shown to be a very calm, soft-spoken, caring, sweet, shy and genuine girl who loves plants and vegetation of all kinds. Being interested in experimenting with her plants, Flora became the potion master of the group who specializes in brewing and creating remedies and medicines from the uses of her magical plants. Due to her gentle and caring personality, Flora is strongly connected to nature and loves helping people. She is shown to have a sensitive personality to the point where she would instinctively care for her friends as well as her plants when they are in distress.
Flora is the most mature member of the Winx as she possesses a deep sense of love, peace, happiness and tranquility. However, it is shown that Flora has an insecure side to her personality as she would have problems believing in herself at times. Her insecurity would sometimes cause her to hide most of her feelings to the point where she would have problems expressing them. Flora is one of the most diligent student at Alfea and is cautious of her actions. Although she has a kind-hearted side, she at times gets very angry at her enemies which can cause her to act quickly and show a more aggressive side of herself. This is seen a few times throughout the series.
As an older sister, she is shown to be quite overprotective who often forgets that people do mature and can protect themselves. Miele often has to deal with this side of Flora whenever the latter suspects a mission to be too dangerous. In this case, Flora has demonstrated some level of ignorance as this attitude tends to hurt Miele's feelings.
Magical Abilities[]
Flora, as the Fairy of Nature, has nature-based powers. Flora can generate, grow, and control various vegetation, but she mainly uses vines for defensive moves such as creating barriers, entangling opponents, and supporting heavy objects. Aside from her vines, she is often seen controlling flowers to use as diverse attacks using pollen and dust to provide distractions, producing swirls of petals/leaves, conjuring food (namely fruits/vegetables), altering the growth plants such as growing a tomato crop from an already existing tomato ("Stella's Big Party"), and even summoning animals ("Mission at Cloudtower").
Flora's strength relies on her surrounding environment and requires her to be at one with nature. Flora is able to hear the voice of nature speaking to her, more so than in an instinctive manner that all Alfea Fairies are taught. Rather, she is able to use her magic to listen to the voice of the forest. This skill has also proven to be a disadvantage at times, as the destruction of nearby nature will cause excruciating pain to her and weaken her own self and her ability to focus her magic properly, even her flight. Flora like Tecna and Musa seems to have a very strong connection with her magical element and her natural essence, in her case she is like a plant seeing as her power were completely negated in the simulated cave in "Rescue Mission" and when Valtor used a spell that depleted her of light witnessed in "Fury". By Season 4, Flora develops the ability to alter the seasons which she promptly displays in a fight against the Snow Queen, by bringing forth a Spring thaw.
Flora in terms of elemental power represents earth which she displays by setting off earthquakes and smashing a boulder with her mind. Her source of power is life itself as she has been seen turning inanimate objects into living creatures such as ice arrows into birds, stuffed animals into the fairy pets. She also has a connection with the air being capable of summoning powerful breezes, using plants to absorb smoke and produce oxygen, and producing fragrances that can be used to repeal an enemy or calm them down as seen in "Stella's Big Party" and "Mission for the Prime Stars". Flora has developed the ability to physically heal other beings mostly after they have experienced a recent trauma. Her magic is green in color.
Like all magical beings Flora can utilizes magical energy based attacks and defenses. She also knows some basic first-level spells, such as telekinesis, transmuting objects and fixing minor messes. Flora is shown to be gifted with potion brewing as well as herbalism.
