Oh Stella, my beloved, they washed her out so much ;-; I feel like they were also going super hero ish/goddess but by using so much gold you can hardy see her face. I trimmed the bangs to show her eyebrows, I feel like someone who lives for the dramatics needs to be able to show some more emotion after all. Added more sun shining elements. I liked the bands they incorporated into the design in the original, but it didn't make sense to me. I liked the idea behind her wings a lot!! But they need to be simplified and transparent. And her staff, give it back!
Removed the pink again .... Also added way more blue!! I kinda gave her cowboy boots, and added a crown and pig tails, also blue eye shadow not yellow... Also tried to stick to the style of the new show again
I really like that we see the specalists working with faries and witches in the comics as a part of their classes, and I love this panel. Girl, you are so easily stressed
What if she became the leader of Winx instead of Bloom?
If we imagine that the leader of the Winx Club had been not Bloom, but Stella the world of Magix would have shone in an entirely different way.
Stella was never just the “Fairy of the Sun and Moon.” She has always carried a royal posture, an inner pride, and that natural confidence that doesn’t need to be proven. If she had become the leader of the Winx, the team would have gained a different rhythm from the very beginning brighter, more emotional, yet surprisingly cohesive.
Stella - Princess Stella of the kingdom of Solaria is no stranger to leadership. She grew up surrounded by palace intrigues, diplomacy, and expectations. Unlike the impulsive Bloom, Stella would lead through charisma and warmth. She wouldn’t assert authority through pressure she would inspire through radiance.
In her version, the Winx would feel more like a family than just a team of heroines. Stella loves being the center of attention, but she loves sharing that light even more. She would organize team evenings, insist everyone dress up even before a battle (“If we’re saving the world we’re doing it beautifully!”), and somehow that would lift everyone’s spirits.
Under her leadership, the Winx would become more confident in themselves. Stella knows how to see beauty in others she would highlight Aisha’s strength and grace, Flora’s elegance and quiet resilience, Tecna’s brilliance of mind, Musa’s emotional depth. She would never let any of them doubt themselves for too long.
And most importantly that she would learn responsibility faster. Because leadership would change her.
Stella often seems carefree, but behind her love for fashion lies a fear of being rejected. If she became leader, she would have to face that fear directly. She would cry in secret after difficult decisions. Worry if someone got hurt. Fear disappointing her friends. And that is exactly what would make her a true queen.
Battles under her command would look different. Stella’s light is not only warmth it is blinding power. She would use her solar magic as a symbol of hope. In the darkest moments, she would be the one to lift everyone’s spirits with words like:
“If the sun returns every day after the night we will make it too.”
Her leadership style would be emotional. She might flare up. She might get hurt. But she would never leave anyone alone. Stella is the one who hugs you after a fight, who brings hot tea, who sits beside you in silence.
And perhaps in this version of the story, Bloom would become her right hand fire and sun, impulse and light, passion and radiance. Their duet would be legendary. Not rivalry, but balance.
Leader-Stella would create a world where beauty is not seen as superficial. Where fashion is a form of self-expression, not frivolity. Where strength can be bright, loud, and shining.
She would study diplomacy, build connections between realms, try not to repeat her parents’ mistakes. Perhaps by becoming a leader, she would also become the ruler she always dreamed of being for Solaria not a cold queen, but the sunny heart of her people.
And on the hardest days, when darkness gathers thickly, she would step forward, hair glowing in golden light, and say:
