“Sometimes i wonder if the Season 5 plotline of Daphne and Politea was based around Disney’s Little Mermaid. It’s very similair. Politea resembles Ursula alot.” -Anon

Next re-redesign is S5.5′s villain, Politea! Copypasted and edited backstory info below:

Politea Brumae is a graduate of Alfea, and was Daphne’s best friend and roommate. She’s also from Domino (specifically the Kingdom of Aletene), which helped the girls bond faster, and they became close really fast. She’s the Fairy of Poisonous Fish, being able to control, generate and accentuate different types of poisonous fluids, spores and such related to animals. Her Source is Poison, with added Water and Fauna. She did the Sirenix Quest alongside Daphne after their last year at Alfea, and managed to get a record time in beating it as mere Enchantix faires - the usual time limit for Enchantix fairies is 10 weeks, they did it in 3 days. She’s also an elf.

While she did genuinely like Daphne (and more than as a friend I might add), she’s inmensely jealous of how, thanks to her Dragon Aura, she can do more complicated magic far more easily, as well as a low dislike for Daphne’s privileged status as a Princess. Said bitterness grew over time, and she found herself both loathing and loving her best friend, almost to a point of obsession. She realized this was toxic behavior and distanced herself for a while, but the feelings increased, and she started missing her terribly. The day before she tried to visit Daphne, she was approached by Myraria herself, who offered her a chance to be even stronger than Daphne if she would help her enter the castle. Politea’s will shattered and she gleefully accepted. Once inside the castle, she freed Myraria (who had hid inside her hand mirror) and was promptly turned into stone by the Witch, as “thanks”, claiming this was better than outright killing her. She was sent to Infimare rather than Obsidia, however, and spent there the next 18 years until Bloom and Daphne broke the Curse of Domino. She blamed Daphne and “Nina” (Bloom’s baby name) for her situation, even if she knew her decision was hers alone, and ended up traveling through Infimare without a path, planning a “revenge” for a couple years until a golden chance arose.

minor villians! (minor meaning they only appeared briefly or weren’t the main villians)

tidbits below the cut

Politea is/was the fairy of justice, and Daphne’s room mate at alphea. Though she kept up a good relationship with Daphne on the surface, she was intensely jealous and bitter about Daphne’s power compared to her own. Originally Daphne kept her power source a secret, but after a particularly difficult battle she told Politea about the dragon flame. Politea was envious of Daphne’s position as the most powerful nymph, and tried a lot of nefarious methods to increase her power, but nothing really rivaled the Dragon Flame so Politea went to the witches and told them who the current holder was. The witches thanked her, and then set Politea’s own magic of justice against her. Politea acted like a petty vicious monster so she got turned into one. 

Mandragora was the fairy of insects, and tho she still uses fairy transformations(specifically she’s in Faunix here, my replacement for butterflix) she has aligned herself with the witches. Whether this was entirely her own choice or because of exposure the magic radiation of obsidian isn’t totally clear. Either way the Ancestral took advantage of her power and kept her as a back-up just in case something went wrong during the final assault on domino (spoiler alert: it did)

OK I KNOW AMENTIA WAS LIKE. A B-RATE VILLAIN AT BEST BUT THE DOWNLANDERS ARE SO STUPIDLY UNNECESSARY I LOVE THEM. Trogs are a matriarchy, and have amphibian, reptile, and some insect qualities. They see extremely well in the dark, have no body hair, and the females have no boobs ok they’re lizard people they don’t have mammary glands. they range in color from orange to a grey blue, but rarely have any red or purple so these colors are reserved for royalty or really rich peeps. Amentia is hella spoiled, and probs has some form of ocd. 

The Ancestral Witches are triplets born on Omega before it became a desert ice planet/prison. Multiple births are already a sign of immense magical potential, and the massive dark spell/black hole Obsidian was formed at their birth, the radiation from that boosted their power even more. They received almost no formal training being naturally talented and bouncing off each other well enough that their combined power was almost unbeatable. They did briefly work with Lord Darkar, and they created Valtor out of a corrupted spark of dragon flame, but generally their magic results in catastrophe when any one outside of the triplets tries to contribute. They are absolutely ancient, but use terrible spells to prolong their life, which is why they’re faded and physically fragile.(any injuries are quickly repaired with magic) Their physical bodies are mostly held together with magic tbh. Their outfits aren’t quite a transformation but they’re not normal clothing either. Their magic is so powerful it creates the head gear and glow on their clothing(very unusual for witches not using a fairy transformation) their magic also leaks out of their eyes and into their witch-marks which is NOT normal. historians theorize that the amount of magic each sister produced actually damaged their mind and limited them to very few emotions and physical sensations.

“Oh, you’re Daphne’s little sister, eh? Ain’t that nice...”

Next in the “villain” redesigns (since my plan for her is different), Politea! Info on her and Daphne’s past below:

I had a realisation that this cunty snek from Mia and Me was named Polytheus (many gods) because he was constantly switching between the bad and good side. Like those selectively religious people who "worship" a god that provides them the most safety at a moment:

Similar thing happened with Politea (Winx), she switched to the bad side, betraying Daphne:

Why isn’t Daphne in Mystery of the Abyss? Of all the characters to not include in a movie about an evil nymph called Politea, we don’t include Daphne. We spent an entire season focused on Daphne and I thought the movie would be the conclusion to what had happened in the Shark’s Eye--but nope! Daphne is forgotten.
