Crown Princess Stella is the Fairy of the Sun and Moon, or the Fairy of the Shining Sun. She is a creative, skilled artist who is Brandon's fiancée. Stella is Solaria's Guardian Fairy, as well as the sole heiress to the Solarian Royal Throne, signified by her status as keeper of the royal family ring. She is one of the founding members of the Winx Club and is an almuna/student of the Alfea College for Fairies. Though immature and even selfish and bossy at times, Stella cares for her fellow Winx and sees herself responsible for them all as sort of a big sisterly figure.

- For Season 5, Stella's bangs are now swept to the left side and she has the same hair strands hanging in the front from Season 1. Her civilian outfit consists of a purple-and-orange layered dress (similar to Bloom and Flora's Enchantix dresses) that is fastened to her body by an orange necklace that ends in three gold stars, and knee high purple boots with orange ribbons wrapped over the half of her foot and around her ankles, ending in small bows just above her ankles, and with that purple knee-high socks with purple laces are quite visible, wrapped and tightened. She also wears red star-shaped earrings and a purple headband with a lighter purple bow that rests on the right side of her head. Additionally, the purple sections of the dress (not counting the bow-like top) have zebra-print in some official stock art.
- For Season 6, Stella's bangs are parted similarly to how they were originally back in the first three seasons. She wears a dark pink blazer with grey trim over a pale pink dress shirt with a grey bow tied around her neck and three small buttons along each cuff, a slate blue layered skirt with small white heart decorating it and a grey belt with pink buckle fastening the skirt to her waist, pink leggings and grey high heels with small pink bows on the toes. She also wears a grey plaid headband.

World of Winx[]
Stella's civilian look for both seasons of World of Winx consists of an ombre pink short-sleeve top over a white dress shirt with a light blue floral necklace, silver elbow-length fingerless gloves that are covered in pink sparkles, a light blue skirt, silver thigh-high socks that are covered in pink sparkles (much like her gloves), and pink open-toed high heels with tiny silver bows just above the opening. Occasionally, she can be seen wearing a small pink handbag with black beaded straps.
Fairy Forms[]
Holding true to her many fairy titles as well as her name, Stella's Fairy Forms maintain a theme of light; mainly that of stars. Orange stands out as the primary color of a majority of her forms, with purples and pinks acting as accents.
Her signature color varies depending on season from:
- Yellow-orange to bright orange (All seasons)
- Various shades of blue (Seasons 6-8) and pink (Seasons 6-8)
- Occasionally green (Season 4)
- Purple (Seasons 5-8)
Personality[]
Although Stella is usually a proud and self-centered girl, she also cares deeply about her friends and family, not just herself. She will stick to the people she loves and do anything to keep them safe. Stella is not always seen wearing a smile on her face, but she does crack jokes to cheer her friends up when they are sad. Essentially, Stella has a cheerful and optimistic personality.
Besides that, she is totally obsessed with fashion; which clothes look best on her, and which dresses match her face the best. Stella often gives fashion advice to people in Alfea, but this advice is often not taken well. She would rather flirt with Brandon than study and do work, which sometimes annoys the other girls. The most intuitive of all the members, Stella likes to match make but has often had problems with understanding why her friends do not always like getting set up.
However, despite her intuitions, Stella can be rather oblivious at times. She was sent to Alfea to become a stronger fairy, but this did not mean so much to her, though she did effectively become a fully accomplished fairy and a powerful one by fighting the first three season villains with the Winx. She uses her magic for anything, but she mostly wants to help her friends as deep inside she is a generous and helpful girl. Although she might disagree with her friends, Stella is very supportive and protective and will not hesitate to help them. She learns to accept that love and friendship are far more important than royalty, fashion, and shopping. Sometimes she hides her true personality because of her upbringing. In short, her cheerful exterior masks great sorrow.
Magical Abilities[]
Stella, as the Fairy of the Shining Sun, Moon and Stars, she has Sun/Star-based and Moon-based powers. Stella can mainly control light and heat, which can be explained by her connection to the Sun. She can throw blasts of light energy and can make balls of solar heat, which occasionally have the ability to burns things. She can concentrate her energy to make herself glow brightly in dark places along with producing an orbiting light sphere to illuminate dark areas or even producing "spotlights". Stella is able to create explosions of sunlight that can leave the opponent temporarily blind as demonstrated in "Face to Face with the Enemy" and "The Wizards' Attack". She can shape light into barriers and shields, which as seem in "Nebula" will produce bright flashes when making contact with a physical force. She demonstrated the ability of controlling colors in A Magix Christmas". Due to Stella being from Solaria, she is majorly affected by the Sun. She gains her energy from the sun and is heavily weakened when in very dark places or underground. Stella has displayed her moon magic more prominently in later seasons often as magic mirror spells such as summoning mirrors to deflect attacks, conjuring crystal shards, and shifting the reflections of her own and others to make their appearance similar to others, as demonstrated in "Layla's Choice". Her magic is yellow in color.
She has the Ring of Solaria which allows for her focus on her energy allowing it to be used as a light source. Stella is capable of teleporting herself and others in a flash of light as demonstrated in "An Unexpected Event" where she teleports herself, Bloom, Mike and Vanessa to Alfea with the latter being teleported back home. As, while she is seen using her scepter to teleport large groups de-transformed (The Black Willow's Tears), while transformed (Fury!) the most people she can teleport all together is 9. As, seen in At the Last Moment she is able to teleport herself(while transformed) multiple times without tiring herself out. During the events of Queen for a Day she is able to summon a group of witches in a blinding flash of light as well as teleport the Winx and herself to Zenith in A Monster Crush both without the use of her scepter and while de-transformed.
Stella has the ultimate ability to manipulate solar or lunar light, and the power stars. Her element of light, specializes in sight and clarity, giving others the ability to see both the path and truth in front of them. As seen in Nebula she was able to sense Roxy's impurity when she was possessed by Nebula and in Season 7 Stella's Butterflix Power is able to restore purity. Since her powers are derived from celestial objects she is able to manipulate cosmic forces. Stella has also shown abilities of generating weather phenomena such as controlling clouds to either uncloak or produce rain showers, creating solar flares to melt ice and grow plants. She can also create stellar orbs.
Stella also knows some basic, first-level spells that all fairies can use, such as telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes. Stella is a very talented fashion designer as she is often seen conjuring various fabrics(as well as complete outifts) even utilizing this skill to open a fashion boutique inside her dorm room.
World of Winx[]
Stella's power is generated from dreams. She still retains her title as Fairy of the Shining Sun and rather than just generating blast of light for offense she is capable of unleashing a variety of light attacks, Stella has been shown to control light sources such as spotlights and streetlights, with such proficient control that she can increase the brightness of multiple at once with only one breaking apart(this includes being able to redirect the physical source itself). A primary defense is to generate shields, but also temporary blinding the opponent. Her magic appears as golden yellow light halos/rays. She is also able to create explosions of light that are capable of disintegrating the shadow creatures.
After, gaining Onyrix, Stella became capable of manipulating light such as shaping it into barriers or attacks such as light disks as well as redirecting laser points "A Hero Will Come". Her special power allows her to receive visions of the past by touching an object or surface akin to said event(similar to the Tracix wings in the main series). She could make herself glow brighter by creating an aura of light which can disperse affecting her opponents. During her confrontation with Obscura, Stella was able to unleash her inner light to dispel the darkness and even trap her nemesis in a light dome. She also seems to have a stronger defensive magic capable of breaking the falls of others.
Aside from her light based powers, Stella has been seen using telekinesis, transmutation, and repairing minor problems. Like her main series counterpart, She is very intuitive about fashion and people. Like in the original series, she is unphassed by bright flashes of light (outside of magical spells) and more resilient to solar heat.
