Florelia Headcanon
From my work in AO3 Winx Club's Headcanons
Do you remember Season 2, Episode 8, when Chatta kept telling Flora to look at the boys and stop talking about plants… and how Stella had all those boys flirting with her?
Well, I’ve always believed Flora was getting flirted with too—she just didn’t notice it at first. In her first year, she was so focused on doing well that she didn’t pay attention. And in her second year, when she was actually open to dating… that’s when she falls for Helia, and suddenly there are less boys around her.
Why? No, it’s not because Specialists magically “respect” that a fairy has a boyfriend (look at Stella and Brandon S2…). It’s because they were intimidated once they found out Flora was dating the best Specialist of their year and the grandson of Saladino.
And I mean… this isn’t Brandon, a simple page. Helia, in my canon—and honestly in many people’s—is almost royalty. At minimum, he’s nobility. He comes from a direct line of one of the most powerful mage in the Magic Dimension, part of the Company of Light, and headmaster of the best military academy in the Magic Dimension.
So yes. Helia is basically a prince. No debate.
So let’s continue.
Even if Flora was on many Specialists’ radar, they all backed off the moment they realized she chose him.
Another theory I have is that Flora actually had a rough time in the first months of their relationship. There were probably a lot of rumors about her interest in Helia. Isn’t it a little suspicious that the girl who never looked at anyone suddenly ends up dating none other than Saladino’s grandson?
To some people, especially the more malicious ones, that could easily look like “interest” or strategy. And honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if some Specialists started rumors just because their ego was hurt. If the story had focused on Flora, I’m sure they would’ve written her surrounded by boys flirting with her—but our distracted, slightly delusional fairy, just… didn’t notice.
And not just Specialists. Fairies too.
Are we really supposed to believe a man like Helia was walking around Alfea in his uniform and not getting attention from half the school? I don’t buy it. Helia definitely had a fan club.
He’s basically everything many fairies would want: handsome, kind, strong, rich… and well connected. More than one girl must have tried something with him—but unfortunately for them, Flora is in Alfea, and the man of my dreams only has eyes for her.
So yes, I also believe some fairies spread rumors out of spite once they realized Flora “won” one of the most desired men in Magix.
Anyway… I truly believe this couple went through a lot more than we ever saw in Season 3, and those missing moments could’ve added so much depth to their story.
