So as you already saw on my Winx Sirenix redesigns and what I mentioned in another post: I wanted to share more about my Winx Club Sona.

However, her powers are linked to a change that I made in this Universe so I think it's better to first explain about the changes I made before blabbering about my Sona.

Winx Club Sona AU/Universe Changes

The first Change starts with the Great dragon.

I always thought it was weird how one dragon could be the origin of everything.

It just didn't make any sense to me how one element (aka fire) could create everything, and then the power opposite in season 2 was introduced, and then the water stars. It got confusing so let me tell you my idea in Form of a Legend.

I will make another post, kinda summarizing the main ideas and how everything works, so have fun!

Spoiler, it's long

Legend of the Four dragons

Before creation of the dimensions, there were four dragons:

the Fire Dragon,

the Earth Drake,

the Water Leviathan,

and the Sky Wyvern.

All four dragons combined their powers to create the Magic dimension, bringing magic and light into the world.

Earth created the environment, mountains and hills, decorating the world with flora.

Water brought the oceans, rivers and lakes into the world, making sure that both Earth and Sky can provide.

Sky took the water and created weather, freely working on its own in the air and atmosphere that she brought to life.

Fire brought light into the world, working together with the Sky to create day and night, bringing warmth into the dimensions.

By combining their magic together, they created the first fairy, born from pure light. Alongside the dragons fairy looked out for other creatures with the ability to harness magic. Together, they thought them about the magic the dragons provided:

Water, earth, fire, sky and light magic.

As time passed by, the Fire dragon surprised the people with a part of its Flame, giving them everlasting strength and warmth. The people across all universes started to worship the Fire dragon more due to the gift, giving him the name "the Great Dragon". A shadow of envy reached the other dragons, trying to poison their minds, especially working well with the Sky Wyvern,

How come only he got recognized?

All dragons worked together to create the universes.

Why only him?

Just because he gave them a part of its power?

These whispers drove the wyvern mad. The shadows chuckled as the Sky wyvern confronted the great dragon, but he denied all of it, saying that all people loved them equally.

But the wyvern didn't believe him.

Blinded by her anger, the darkness that was created alongside the dragons and their magic took the opportunity to consume the wyvern, working alongside with the the source of all dark magic:

The ancestral witches

With the wyvern's help, they stole a part of the dragon flame and created the shadow phoenix, ordering it to defeat the dragon.

But their plan failed.

The other dragon's power combined again and drove away the dark forces in the deep underground where it stayed hidden, waiting for the right moment to strike.

The other dragons soon found out about the cooperation and decided to punish them all. As the ancestral witches abandoned the sky wyvern, leaving her there to fend for herself, her corrupted heart burned with hatred and rage and started attacking them all. Due to her instability, the other three were forced to seal her away, taking away her powers and breaking them into shards, hiding them all over the magic dimensions.

The three dragons managed to seal away the weakened Sky Wyvern, trapping her in the Crystal of Power. Before her spirit was trapped in the crystal, she made an oath to break free from her prison, take back her power and bring calamity to both light and darkness.

After that incident, the dragons became hostile against each other, fearing that one of them would turn evil. The dragons split ways and kept to themselves, thinking it was the best thing to do.

As years passed, the dragons turned old and weak, realizing that they fulfilled their destiny. They decided to rest for eternity and each chose their resting place and a parting gift.

Before the Earth drake's death, she gifted the land of Linphea everlasting spring, creating the Black Willow and the tree of Life. She chose her resting place on an island far away, using her own body to create a mountain. Rumor says that if you find the island, you can still see the drake's silhouette as the base of the mountain.

The Water Leviathan chose the infinity ocean as his resting place. Before he left, he created the Water stars and gifted them to the land of Andros to protect them from any evil source. As he passed away, the Water stars and Dragon Flame's powers crashed against each other and were forced to be sealed away in a different universe to avoid any more chaos.

The Fire dragon was the last to go and choose a Keeper for the Dragon flame, giving them the ability to harness its power and to protect their people from any harm that might come in the future. As he closed his eyes on his Resting place being Domino, he could leave this world in peace, as he knew that everyone would be save forever.

If you made it to the end: congrats!

This was a redesign that I had a really hard time trying to figure out because his original design was already really perfect. I mean, he was a skeleton in a suit of armor all the color of old, dried blood. That's a really tough act to follow, especially when you consider that the character is basically this world's version of Satan. I tried to make parts of his armor sharper, give him glowing eyes, and a different face. I tried to do a combo of Hades from Disney's Hercules and concept art of The Horned King from The Black Cauldron.

For his Shadow Phoenix form, I kept it similar to its original look but gave him glowing eyes, made his head look similar to his helmet, and made his wings actually made of fire. I mean, the phoenix is known for having wings of fire, so why not do the same here?

A problem that Darkar has always had is that, while he's still a great villain, he's not really as interesting as The Trix, Valtor, and arguably even Selina. He's a demonic bad guy that wants power and that's pretty much it. He's theatrical, which definitely helps but that's not much. While he could be cringy in the 4Kids dub (I say this as someone who considers the 4Kids dub to be the BEST Winx Club dub), he was definitely more memorable with more personality and iconic lines. So in my version, I would like a mixture of both versions with him being a demonic deity but also have a memorable and enjoyable personality without being cringy. Basically, I'd have him be like Hades from Hercules, only without the James Woods style of humor because that wouldn't work for Darkar. Basically, being a great villain that is flamboyant and fun while also being a serious threat. I mean, he was the master of The Ancestral Witches for crying out loud. But I do like that he is a more distant threat and would keep that as part of the character because of how it led to more character focus stories, which is one of the reasons why season 2 was such an amazing season. My personal favorite episode from that season is the one about Musa and her dad.

Anyway, I hope you guys like it and think that I did justice to the character.
