Winx Club Book Artworks Masterpost

[sokkas-first-fangirl]

Indulge my bullshit: here's some ramblings for a Winx rewrite I'll likely never actually write, but I'm having fun

In which Selina gets indoctrinated, doesn't yet realise she has a crush, Eldora isn't as innocent as she portrays herself, and Bloom is happily oblivious to the conspiracy she grew up around

Selina looked at Princess Stella and hated her. She looked at all of the so-called Winx Club and silently seethed. They’d stolen her place. She was forced into the background, into the shadows. Stella had stolen her role. 

She was Bloom’s best friend, she was chosen by Eldora. Selina had trained for most of her life, quietly following Eldora’s orders, and now…Now they dared to say she was too late? Now she was expected to not play a part in this story?

No. Selina was supposed to renew the ancient, sacred Order of the Hearth. She was supposed to protect the Keeper of the Dragon Flame, she was supposed to be the next Dragon Guard. Eldora had been sure, so sure, that they could find a way to unlock Bloom’s magic. Selina would be the one to tell Bloom who and what she truly was, Eldora and Selina would both train her. Maybe with the Dragon Flame, Eldora’s exile would end at last, Selina and Bloom would both go to Alfea. Selina even dreamed of finding out what happened to the people of Domino, because she knew how upset Bloom would be when she learned that everyone was dead or missing.

But no. Instead she entered the Magical Dimension, only to find out she was years too late. Domino had been saved. Bloom was surrounded by other fairies, and she had total control over the Flame.

This wasn’t how it was supposed to go.

Selina remembered it well: she’d wandered off from a school trip and, next thing she knew, she was in Eldora’s garden. She’d walked past the wards like they weren’t even there.

Eldora had been shocked, confused, delighted. Another magic user on Earth! She offered to teach tiny, eight-year-old Selina everything she knew. She made Selina promise not to tell anyone about her, stressing that no-one believed in magic on Earth anymore.

Selina promised.

Selina immediately broke that promise and told Bloom that she’d met a real-life fairy. And Bloom, her fairy-obsessed best friend, pleaded to meet Eldora, to see her magic garden. She clung to Selina’s hand as they wandered through the woods, past the picnic grounds and into the trees.

“Is she really pretty? How big are her wings?” Bloom excitedly asked her. 

“She’s kinda old,” Selina told her. “I didn’t see her wings, but I’m sure she’s got ‘em.”

Only something went wrong. They walked through the wards, but so long as Selina held Bloom’s hand, she couldn’t see Eldora’s cottage. Bloom was enchanted by the blue, glittering flowers, squealing “They’re fairy flowers!” but Selina couldn’t see Eldora anywhere. Her cottage was gone, Eldora was gone…Where was she? The flowers were here, the giant tree was here…

Bloom let go of her hand and suddenly Selina could see everything. There was Eldora, standing at her front door, gaping at Bloom. 

Selina waved to her eagerly. “There, Bloom!” she cried. “She’s here!”

Bloom looked- and frowned. “I don’t see her,” she said, disappointed. She looked worriedly at Selina and asked, “Does she not like me?”

Years later, it stuck out to Selina: not once did Bloom think this was a prank. Not once did she accuse Selina of making fun of her. No, instead she immediately thought the fairy godmother didn’t want her there.

“Eldora!” Selina called impatiently, but her new fairy godmother didn’t move. She just kept staring at Bloom.

Despondent, Bloom trailed home, clutching one of the flowers in her hand.

Selina stormed over to Eldora. “You ignored her!” she said indignantly, fighting the urge to stomp her foot. “I know you said not to tell, but Bloom loves fairies, she won’t tell anyone, she just-”

“The Flame,” Eldora whispered, her hand pressed to her heart. She looked like she was going to cry. “I can feel it, buried deep within Her…Selina, my dear, where did you meet this girl?”

Selina shrugged. “At school.”

Eldora still looked like she was going to cry. She ushered Selina inside and told her…Some of her story. It turned out she left a lot out. She told Selina that, once-upon-a-time, she and her friends had been tasked with protecting a Princess of Domino, she said it was a magical land, far away from Earth. This Princess had something called the Dragon Flame, and Eldora explained a lot of people wanted to hurt this Princess and steal her magic. Eldora and her friends tried to help her, to protect her.

And they failed. Eldora was the only one left standing and she’d been banished to Earth all alone.

“It was a long time ago,” Eldora said quietly. She’d poured them both cups of tea, sweet, with a pink tinge to it. Selina loved it. 

“So…Bloom’s a fairy too?” Selina’s eyes widened and she bounced in her seat, excitement thrumming through her. Bloom was a fairy! She’d be so excited, Selina couldn’t wait to tell her.

But Eldora had other ideas. She took Selina to her attic and found an old sword, wrapped in a red cloth. Selina remembered thinking that the sword looked like something from a fantasy book: it was really long and thin, the blade was shining with white light. The hilt was coloured red and gold, the crossguard shaped like a snarling, golden dragon with strange orange gems for eyes.

Eldora held the sword carefully, eyes shining. As an adult, Selina knew the look was reverent. Eldora looked at the sword like it was something holy. 

“Selina, my dearest,” Eldora said gently. “Together, you and I are going to fix things.” She smiled at Selina, already looking proud, as if Selina had done something wonderful. “Welcome to the Order of the Hearth, Guardian Selina.”

Over ten years of training. Over ten years of secrets. Selina made excuses to Bloom, lying about where she went every weekend. 

“Did I do something?” Bloom asked anxiously when they were nine. 

“What? No,” Selina quickly denied, shaking her head. 

Bloom kept asking to hang out. Sometimes Selina could, but it was hard not to blurt everything out. Eldora wanted to wait, to discover a way to unlock the holy magic hiding within Selina’s best friend.

“The Dragon Incarnate,” Eldora breathed with awe. “Right here on Earth…I felt Domino’s destruction, my girl. I felt the gaping abyss where all that light and life used to be…But I never once sensed the little spark hiding here. Practically right on my doorstep! How is She, Selina? Is She safe, is She happy?”

That was something Selina noticed; she always spoke about Bloom like she was even more than a Princess, like she was…Like she was a goddess. Selina thought of the myths she knew; Hera, Athena, Artemis…Bloom wasn’t anything like that. But maybe she didn’t know enough dragon myths. 

Her best friend was a fairy, just like Selina. Her best friend was a Princess of Domino, just like the girl Eldora once protected. Her best friend was the Keeper of the Dragon Flame, the magic that gave life to the whole universe.

Selina’s best friend was the Dragon Incarnate, the protector of a sacred power. Shy, awkward Bloom Peters was a Goddess.

And Selina couldn’t tell her yet. 

So she kept making her excuses. She went to sleepovers with Bloom when she could, though they became rarer and rarer. They went ice-skating with Bloom’s parents, they complained about homework and Mitzi. But more often than not, Selina had plans with Eldora and couldn’t spend time with Bloom.

Slowly but surely, Bloom stopped asking to hang out. She still smiled whenever she saw Selina, they still sat next to each other in classes and ate lunch together, but Selina disappeared after school and every weekend. Bloom's smile got smaller, it became sad. But it was okay, Selina told herself. Bloom would understand once she knew everything. She’d be so happy, so excited. They’d still be a duo, Selina-and-Bloom, two halves of a whole. They’d be a Princess and a Knight, just like the stories Bloom loved so much.

She kept training. Kept practicing. When she was thirteen, Selina transformed for the first time, and Eldora was so happy that she wept, pulling Selina into a tight hug.

“I’m so proud of you,” Eldora said gently. “So very proud, my girl.”

She kept making potions. Kept reading the books Eldora gave her. Sometimes, she thought she heard a whisper coming from the attic, but she couldn’t find anything when she snuck up there. It was the one room in the house that was strictly off limits, unless Eldora was with her. 

She kept reciting the Guardian oath to herself.

“I vow to uphold Your divine existence, no matter the cost. I will stand by Your side, no matter what trials may come; anyone who dares to strike You will fall by my hand. I vow to keep the Great Dragon Flame burning for all eternity. So long as life endures, I will protect You. I, Guardian Selina, will lay down my life for Yours and perform any duty You ask of me.”

Eldora wrote it down for her, exactly like that. Always You instead of you. 

Eldora told her about the Magic Dimension, especially Domino; Domino as she had known it. The centre of the universe, the resting place of the Great Dragon. Beautiful, magnificent, legendary. Full of magic, full of light and fire, full of joy and strength. 

All gone now.

“But it will be restored one day,” Eldora promised with a smile. “You and Her Grace will restore it.”

Her Grace, Her Highness, the Dragon Incarnate, Her Majesty. Never just Bloom. 

Slowly, so gradually that Selina didn’t notice the change, she started to think that way too. You instead of you. Titles instead of names. Solemn oaths instead of childish promises. 

Soon we’ll tell Her, Selina thought as she flew through the course Eldora designed for her. Soon it’ll all be perfect.

All that training, all those oaths, all of it centred on one goal: protect Her.

When they were sixteen, Bloom didn’t return to school after their break. All of Selina’s attempts to call or text Her didn’t go through; the texts failed to send, the calls failed to connect. She went to the Peters’ house and Vanessa told her that Bloom had won a scholarship to a special boarding school.

When Vanessa said special, she meant it in a proud way, a loving way. When Vanessa said it, Selina thought Bloom must have won an art scholarship. 

When Mitzi said special, she was making autism jokes.

Selina whirled around and broke Mitzi’s nose, and got promptly suspended. She would have kept punching her if the teachers didn’t pull her away.

She wouldn’t have cared if she got outright expelled. It wasn’t like she needed Earth school; she needed to focus on reaching Alfea one day. Who cared about her stupid grades anyway? Her parents never noticed if she failed or passed, they didn’t even notice if she skipped or attended, and Selina hated school; she always had. She’d only ever tolerated it because it meant seeing her best friend. The teachers, their classmates, the rigid routine, all of it was awful.

Eldora was certain her spell and potion combination to unlock Bloom’s powers was nearly perfect. A few more days and they’d be ready to go. But how to reach Bloom? Would Selina have to wait for the summer holidays? 

Bloom wasn’t here and Selina hated it. Vanessa said it was still the same number, Bloom didn’t even have a new phone; she said she didn’t know why Selina’s calls and texts weren’t working.

So Selina waited for Bloom to call her.

She didn’t. 

Selina didn’t see Bloom over the summer holidays or over Christmas. The Peters went away over the summer and, strangely enough for them, they went away over Christmas too.

The next year, Selina went to their house over the Christmas holidays, but Mike said Bloom wasn’t there. She saw Kiko hop up the stairs and knew Mike was lying to her.

Eldora told her to have heart. She gave the potion to Selina and taught her the spell. She told Selina to stay strong, to be brave; to be kind when she broke the truth to Bloom, to guide Her gently.

That was all well and good, but where was Bloom?

Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen…And still no sign of Bloom.

But then, shortly after Selina turned nineteen, things went crazy. Magic returned to Earth. Eldora’s powers returned full force, Selina’s got a huge and sudden boost. Fairies emerged from Tír na nÓg and introduced their Princess, Roxy. The smoothie bar kid? Seriously? Selina never would have guessed.

That wasn’t even the craziest part. No, the craziest part was seeing Bloom, her best friend, zipping around on a pair of sparkling, beautiful wings, surrounded by other fairies. She flew side-by-side with a blonde fairy, both of them laughing and swooping around each other. 

Bloom’s ears were pointed, but not long like the other fairies. Embers flew from the ends of Her hair. There was a ring of bright, burning gold around Her pupils. Even Her nails seemed naturally pointed.

“She has known for a while,” Eldora said softly. She frowned uneasily. “You must go to Her, Selina. The fire surrounding Her…If She’s not careful, the enemies of Domino will realise they failed to kill Her, that they failed to smother the Flame. She must be taught to exercise caution; She needs you, my girl.”

Selina held her gleaming sword, Eldora’s biggest gift, and she wanted to scream.

It’s too late! Don’t you see it’s too late? she wanted to yell. Bloom’s known for ages and we weren’t the ones to tell Her. We haven’t spoken or seen each other in years, She won’t want me. She thinks I stopped liking Her long ago. Those other fairies stole my place! 

She tried to tell herself it was fine. They were both magical, Bloom would be happy to see her. Maybe…Maybe She didn’t know She was a Princess? (Or should that be Queen?) Maybe She didn’t know anything about Domino. They could still find out together. 

Selina was too old to attend Alfea in truth, but it turned out they were offering classes to anyone from Earth, to help them learn to control their powers and catch up with their counterparts. The same went for Cloud Tower, and even Red Fountain was welcoming Earth students. 

So she signed up for these lessons, thrilled to see they were being taught by the Winx Club themselves. They were being taught by Bloom. Imagine it, anxious Bloom in front of a class, teaching a lesson! Selina felt proud of Her. She felt excited. All she needed to do was show up, explain what happened to Bloom, and everything would fall into place.

It didn’t stop sheer hatred from bubbling in Selina’s chest as she walked into the classroom. She looked at the others and wanted to drag them away from Bloom. It should have been her standing at the desk with Bloom. It should have been her at Bloom’s side.

They should have returned magic to Earth together. 

I am Guardian Selina of the Order of the Hearth, Selina told herself. She thought of her sacred sword, hidden in her dorm. I’ll show Bloom after class. I’ll tell Her. She’ll understand.

And the book…The Legendarium…It had told her such interesting stories about Eldora and her exile. No, Selina would not be introducing her to Bloom, not after what she learned. 

Bloom was sitting on the edge of the desk. The blonde, Princess Stella, was in the middle of braiding Bloom’s hair.

Bloom doesn’t let people touch her, Selina thought, heart sinking. Only me and Her parents. 

Andy didn’t count, surely. Selina was sure they barely even held hands.

The braid Stella was doing for Bloom matched her own. A purple hair-tie for her, a blue one for Bloom. She was incredibly beautiful, Princess Stella. Tall and graceful, with gleaming golden hair and bright amber eyes, sunkissed skin, a sweet smile. She looked wonderful in her sunset-orange dress. Stella was the tallest member of the group and towered over them all in her high-heels. She’d done her make-up as if she expected to be called onto the runway, not like she was teaching a class. 

Selina despised her. She wanted to slap Stella’s hands away from Bloom’s hair. She wished she’d brought her sword down with her. 

“Hello,” one of the girls said gently to Selina. She was dismayed to see that she wasn’t the first to arrive after all; a group of ten students was already here. “I’m Flora Rosales. What’s your name, sweetheart?”

Selina looked right at Bloom.

“I’m Selina,” she said, loud and clear. “Selina Wormwood.”

Bloom whirled around to face her, eyes wide, mouth hanging open. She grinned, sparks and embers flying from Her hair.

“Selina?” She gasped. “You-” She jumped off the desk and ran to her, beaming at her. “No way, you’re here!”

Selina hugged her tightly, staring Stella down over Bloom’s shoulder. They couldn’t have looked more opposing, Selina thought. Stella with her long golden hair and Disney Princess look. Selina with her hair dyed green, her fishnets and black clothes, her favourite purple lipstick. 

Stella looked like she couldn’t fight her way out of a wet paper bag. If she thought she’d successfully stolen Selina’s rightful place, she’d better think again. Selina would be glad to take her down a peg.

She’d be glad to take them all down.

Rewatching S6 is kind of sad, actually. It's my favourite season out of the Nick era. It had a lot of fun and interesting ideas, even if they fell short. And I do believe it's marginally better than S5 (S7 isn't even worth mentioning).

Some of the criticism I've seen is a little silly. Like, no, Aisha and Stella didn't get Bloomix for performing a backflip. They got it because they used a backflip to get two Basilisks to petrify each other. Which was cool as fuck, actually.

But yeah, it's not a great season. I'm still annoyed to death that Rainbow's idea of a romance arc is a love triangle, and now Aisha is the victim of it. I don't know what their intentions were with Nex as a character, but nothing has convinced me that he WASN'T added for a cheap romance drama. At the end of the season, we know about the paladins, Nex, and his relationship with Thoren as much as we did during their introduction. And by that, I mean nothing.

Selina and Acheron are another example of HUGE wasted potential. Selina really felt like an Anakin Skywalker kind of deal. And I really like her. Honestly, it's just like with Tritannus in S5. Really good premise with nothing done about it. With Tritannus we had a perfect setup for a family driven conflict with lots of potential (which I won't get into now, but if you've seen some of my posts about him, you probably know what I mean).

With Selina, I feel, we haven't had nearly enough scenes to drive home her relationship with Eldora, Bloom and Acheron. It's really shallow. Knowing what we know, it just feels like Selina became loyal to Acheron because he promised her power, unlike with Eldora who just taught her magic. That's just it. And that's also why Selina switching sides in the end rubs me the wrong way. She changed her mind because Acheron didn't give her any power, not because she felt bad about what she was doing. It's the exact same script with Icy in S5. Except Selina isn't supposed to be like Icy. She's supposed to redeem herself in the end. We're just not shown that growth from Selina until the last minute. God, I know people find Eldora annoying, but it's actually criminal how she barely interacted with Selina throughout the season. Imagine all the juicy drama we could have got from the two of them if they were allowed to interact. But alas, Selina was under house arrest. The plot needed her stuck inside the Cloud Tower.

And Acheron... blud was released from the book and then stuffed inside a box and sold to Rumpelstiltskin within the same episode. Which in the show was like a few hours. He was out for a few hours. This is actually ridiculous that he was hyped up this much by the plot only to be defeated in the most pathetic way in the history of Winx Club. We also know nothing about him aside from the fact that he created the Legendarium. Insane move on the writers' part.

With all said and done, there was yet one thing the writers could have got right. When Bloom was overwhelmed by the Trix in the very end, there was no better way to end it other than have the Winx enter the Legendarium world to save her. This would tie nicely with how in the beginning, Bloom gave all of them a fragment of her Dragon Flame. But instead, Bloom gets a shounen boost and reaffirms herself as the main character of the show. The end. Sigh.

[calissarowan]

Nebula: Winx, you have proven yourselves worthy of the Mythix Wands.

Eldora: With these, you’ll be able to use powerful, ancient magic, and, with months of training, you’ll be able to stop Acheron with the power of-

Stella: …*bonks Acheron over the head with her wand*

Stella: Acheron’s down, who wants Burger King?

[daydreamsia]

I finally got through season six, just to know more about Selina, but she really is such a nothing character. It's sad we never got to see her transform, she could have secretly been a fairy all along. Her being an evil fairy would have been something new, or even her staying a witch after switching sides.

Acheron should have had some longer screentime than just half of the second to last episode. But with him having a spark of the Dragon Flame he felt like another version of Valtor in a way.

I'm also SO fed up with the Trix now. A shame they don't stay locked inside the Legendarium. But i really love their dark witch transformations (just not Icy's hairstyle).

Daphne being corporeal again - eh, i don't really care about her, for that she and her struggles should have gotten more importance. Her marrying was also too much for me tbh.

Thoren, Roy and Nex don't add a lot either, besides relationship-plot (and maybe me now shipping Roy and Nex). Both Aisha and Daphne should have just been allowed to stay single imo.

Eldora is... kinda annoying but i also don't care about her all too much either. She got a Mythix wand and warned the Winx a few times, but that's about all the importance she added.

Other than that, the season had so much unnecessary filler, it could have been half as long and still would have been able to tell the same stories.

[charmixpower]

Okay, so Selina the earth fairy as an antagonist

S6 did this by, for some insane reason, by making Selina Bloom's childhood friend who's always had magic which doesn't work on literally every level. So I'm going to try and come up with some ideas that make parts of it work

Selina the earth fairy that was taught by Eldora:

Tbh this is the easiest option

Selina is an earth fairy from the old days along with Eldora. During the WotBC attempted wiping out of all magic users they fled to Tir Na Nog and live under Morgana and Nebula

The Legendarum is a book created by ancient Faries that Selina's family has been in charge of caring for for generations

When the fairies of vengeance are released Selina is soooo excited to help kill the Wizards and the Winx, and their leader Bloom take their revenge away from them by complaining that they shouldn't be allowed to kill the people that tried to WIPE THEM OUT

Selina is pissed, and her teacher Eldora, the woman that saved her life, going on about how forgiveness is the way isn't helping

Season 5 teaches her about the rest of the magical dimension, season 5 teaches her about the Trix

The Trix are blinded by their desire for revenge and make the perfect pawns. They don't care what they lose as long as the winx don't win

And Selina assures them, the Winx will not win

Selina the earth fairy that was Bloom's friend:

This one is a very elegant solution me thinks and it's the FUN one.

Selina and Bloom are childhood friends and the main targets for Mitzi's bullying. Bloom has kind parents, Selina does not, and for eight hours a day they have to listen to people talk badly about them. Mitzi never puts hands on them but they're social pariah's and deal with constant verbal harassment and false accusations

First year of highschool is more of the same and Selina is prepared for it to be them against the world again in their second year, and then Bloom never comes to class

Selina is alone to deal with the bullying she at least had a confidant in Bloom to at least tolerate it with, and now she's alone

Mitzi tells everyone that Bloom was sent to a school that caters to the mentally ill to finally convince the 16 year old that fairies aren't real, and Selina makes things worse for herself by defending Bloom

They text each other, not often and Bloom won't tell her what new school she's going to but they still text. Selina comes over when Bloom goes back to earth (and goes home before the Trix show up)

And then the next year Bloom goes to Mitzi's Halloween party with her new, cool, pretty, friends. Bloom excitedly tells her about it, she's finally going to make Mitzi the butt of the joke and all Selina can think is that she's been replaced

That's not fair though? Bloom is allowed to be happy at her new school so she bites her tongue and pushes down her resentment and rejects Bloom's offer to come with

Next year is...fine. Bloom comes to her graduation party, and she's a bit mopey that she didn't graduate with honors like her new friends but is over all more excited to hear about Selina's college plans. Bloom goes on a trip in the middle of summer and comes back glowing because "the mistake in my grades was fixed and now I have honors!" And it sounds like a lie but Selina doesn't bother calling her out on it. I mean? What if she's telling the truth

Then season 4 happens, and then it's revealed that Bloom is a fairy

Not only did Bloom replace her with better, prettier friends, but she also lied to Selina about being a fairy. Lied to her face about everything related to magic because apparently Bloom never trusted her

And Selina burns with resentment

Selina stops responding to Bloom's texts and avoids her. Everyone asks Selina if she knew, if Bloom told her, who those aliens are, and all Selina has is half truths from the stories Bloom spun her to respond with

Seeing Mitzi become a fairy, unaware of the dead magic that run though her, unaware that the power Mitzi was given comes with a price no one should have to pay, Selina is furious. Incandescent

Magic returned to earth and Selina can float small objects. She's one of the few people that after the earth's magic core was repaired gained magic and she's on the bottom of the scale of power in a group categorized by how they're not as strong as those who can use magic without the core

Hatred fills her lungs like smoke

Season 5 Selina sticks to herself. Bloom usually isn't on earth like she was last year and this Diaspro chick who came from a different planet to help earth get caught up with the rest of the dimension is on the TV all the time talking about Bloom. Selina hates the fact that this woman who met Bloom though a knock-down drag-out fight knows Bloom better than Selina ever did

Did Bloom ever think of her as a real friend?

(Bloom couldn't take the one person that was her friend though all of that calling her a liar, she comes to regret this)

Eventually, while stumbling around the woods, far away from faces that could mock and lie to her she stumbles across a book. The Legendarum. It promises her power, Bloom's regret, importance. All she has to do is open it, anyone with magic can, her strength doesn't matter with the Legendarum doing the work for her

How could she ever refuse?

[existentialcrisis-24-7]

Eldora has been completely changed. Once a powerful fairy and even a member of the company of light a while back. However, after receiving a strange premonition one day she moved to Earth. Some years after she meets Mike and Vanessa and helps her set up her flower shop. Afterwards when they adopt Bloom, Eldora is given title of “fairy godmother” by Bloom and is the resident babysitter for her and her friends. It’s during this time that she seals her magic away and begins to age normally.

Anyway don’t mind the fact that Vanessa’s in like a completely different art style

[darkpoisonouslove]

If you were to rewrite Selina as a better villain, how would you do it?

This ask has been here forever but tumblr hindered me a couple times when I tried to answer it. I hope you're still here, anon, because I finally wrote it all out in a separate document to make sure I won't lose it again. Third time's the charm.

Here are some spoilers for my Winx Club rewrite when it comes to Selina's full backstory and some of her plan in season 6. I have purposely left some points vague so as to not reveal everything I have in store but I tried to fully explain Selina's motivations, her arc and her thematic presence in relation to Bloom specifically. It's quite long so it's under the cut:

Selina’s mom was the Nymph of Earth. She wanted to protect her daughter so she left to make sure the Ancestral Witches wouldn't trace her to her daughter (they were going after all the Nymphs). After they were trapped, she went after the Wizards of the Black Circle. She was desperate after the Wizards caught Morgana because Selina and Roxy would be next. The Wizards were trapped in Obsidian but Selina's mom died, leaving behind only the source of her Nymph power.

Eldora was communicating with Selina’s mom and when she disappeared, Eldora showed up on Earth. She found Selina and decided to take her under her wing. She is the one who explains to Selina what happened to her mom after Selina figures out that her mom must have had magic. Selina wants to be led to her mom’s body but Eldora never managed to find it. She just knows that it will probably be by an underwater volcano. Selina swears she will prove herself worthy and will inherit her mother's Nymph power. She watches over Roxy for a while, especially after she cuts ties with Bloom. She despises being so different from everyone else (while Bloom clings to that even though she despises it as well) because Eldora makes her feel like she can’t be both a fairy and a normal person. It is hard to be around Bloom whose parents are so supportive of her obsession with fairies. And she can’t reveal her magic even to her best friend. She can’t pretend to be normal because she has trouble controlling her powers. She has a lot of anger and it interferes with her magic. She swears she won’t let Roxy go through the same. Selina will bring back the Earth fairies and help fix the damage the Wizards caused so that Roxy doesn’t have to bear that burden. She will not give up on that so Eldora agrees to take her to the Library of Alexandria where she can research the Nymphs and look for a way to save the Earth fairies.

Selina finds the Legendarium and takes it, hoping it might help her. Acheron promises to do that for her if she frees him. He tells her he was the one who created the Legendarium but Eldora was afraid of something so powerful–so unique–so she stole it and trapped him. Selina figures that he can indeed help her if he created an original magical artifact like the Legendarium. Acheron helps her with her fairy lessons but he’s only manipulating her to leave Eldora. Selina is unwilling at first because her mother trusted Eldora but Acheron tells her that Eldora could have trapped the Wizards of the Black Circle in the Legendarium just like she did with him so that Selina’s mom wouldn’t have had to sacrifice herself. (That’s not true – with Acheron trapped in the Legendarium, the only way to manipulate the book is if he grants you the power, which is the case with Selina.) He tells Selina that Eldora’s only teaching her magic because she feels guilty about what happened with Selina’s mom which Selina believes easily enough. And his lessons are much more fruitful anyway. Selina runs away from Eldora and goes to look for the underwater volcano where her mother’s body should be but it turns out that it’s not on Earth. It only confirms to Selina that Eldora doesn’t know what she’s doing. The dark magic Acheron’s been teaching her has been a lot easier to master, too. With time Selina figures that being a witch suits her better and that won’t be a problem when it comes to becoming the next Nymph of Earth.

Now that she’s cut ties with Eldora, Selina thinks that she doesn’t have to stick to Eldora’s rules so she wants to contact Bloom. She uses the magic mirror she pulled out of the Legendarium to see how Bloom’s doing only to hear the Trix explaining to Bloom her own backstory and origins. Acheron doesn’t believe the Dragon Fire can be controlled by someone who’s stolen it from its rightful owner so Selina suggests waiting to see how things go for the Trix. Meanwhile, she goes back to the Library of Alexandria to do some research on the Dragon Fire and Domino. Once the Trix prove it can be done, Selina needs to find out how they got their hands on the Dragon Fire. The power of the magic mirror doesn’t reach into Light Rock monastery but through observations of Bloom Selina learns that she needs the Whisperian Crystals in order to extract a spark of the Dragon Fire from her. Right as she’s planning on stealing the Crystals from where they’re currently stored, the Trix escape and get them back. Selina can’t attack them while they’re around Darkar and the Winx are always around when the Trix leave ShadowHaunt to steal the Codex parts so she doesn’t want to risk getting found out by Bloom. She’s not sure how to feel about the fact that Bloom has the god power and she has to steal it from her in order to achieve everything she’s wanted after it turned out that they could have stayed friends since Bloom is also a fairy, even if she’s not from Earth.

With the Trix getting sent to Omega, Selina looks to Domino in hopes that she might be able to draw some of the Dragon Fire essence in the core of the planet. But then the Trix and Valtor leave Omega and she thinks it might be easier to proceed with her original plan. Acheron warns her to stay away from Valtor, though. Only when Winx destroy Obsidian and inadvertently free the Wizards of the Black Circle, Selina rushes back to Earth to make sure Roxy is safe. She does so disguised as a minor snake goddess that she pulled out of the Legendarium and merged with (the way she did for the Trix in og s6) but when Winx show up she disappears because she can’t risk getting recognized by Bloom. She gets progressively angrier that because of Bloom she has to keep her distance from Roxy and can’t be there to help her. She knows what it’s like to collide with the terrifying side of magic. She hates Bloom’s approach to introducing Roxy to her origins because she can relate to how much pressure it is to bear the responsibility of bringing back the magic of an entire planet and freeing the Earth fairies. And while Bloom’s planet had suffered even worse damage, Bloom’s mission was originally just to find her own family. Selina hates Bloom’s actions when it comes to Roxy because it reminds her too much of what Eldora was doing with her – grooming her to fill the role of the next Nymph of Earth in case the Wizards ever got free. Bloom is shoving all that responsibility on Roxy’s shoulders when Selina was working hard to be the one to restore Earth to spare Roxy the same pressure that she herself felt. Not only could she keep Roxy away from most of the horribleness of the situation, but she could also carry out her own mother’s legacy. But now Bloom and the rest of Winx have taken that away from her.

Next thing she knows, the Trix are once again impossible to reach in the Andros underwater prison until they’re not. They’re working with Tritannus and Selina’s father gets mutated which makes her even more desperate to obtain her mother’s Nymph powers to help him (and everyone else Tritannus mutated) only for those to be taken by someone else in a consequence of Winx’ actions on Earth. Bloom getting Daphne back after she saved all the rest of her family and planet as well is the last straw for Selina. She had considered many times just walking up to Bloom and asking her for help. She could tell Bloom still missed her and she thought that there was a good chance Bloom would agree to give her a spark of the Dragon Fire but Acheron always convinced her that after the trauma of having it ripped away by the Trix, Bloom wouldn’t agree. Now Selina no longer cares about asking. Bloom somehow got to be both the princess of Domino and the guide that helped Roxy save Earth even though Bloom isn’t even from Earth. Selina wants to steal the Dragon Fire from Bloom like Bloom stole all her goals and dreams about her own future and that of Earth.

The good news is that the Trix are finally on the loose and Selina can get close to them but she has to be smart about it. The best way to be close enough to both Winx and the Trix to accomplish her plan is to sign up for classes at Alfea. Her fairy magic is at the perfect level of power for her to be accepted. Once Winx show up–and they will–the Trix will follow, that much is sure. Flora’s power of talking to plants is a bit of a problem for Selina because it could reveal her plan to the fairy so she tries to get rid of Flora but once Winx lose their magic to the Legendarium, that is no longer a problem. Selina allegedly rekindles her friendship with Bloom while she purposefully allows the Trix to catch her going behind Winx’ backs. She knows they’ll be intrigued and blackmail her into helping them with their plan (but she has to make sure that they won’t kill Bloom before she’s done with her which requires her to strike a very tricky balance between being useful to the Trix but not too useful). It will allow her to manipulate them into allowing her to merge their powers with those of Legendarium characters which will give her control over them. That way she can use the Whisperian Crystals and steal a spark from Bloom’s Dragon Fire. Getting found out by Bloom earlier than planned is not ideal but doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things.

Selina’s main struggles in season 6 actually relate a lot to what Winx are going through. She’s afraid that she will be powerless to protect what is dear to her and because of everything that happened and Acheron’s manipulations, she believes that Winx and Bloom specifically are threats to everything she loves. Ever since she cut off contact with Bloom, she’s been lonely. Of course, most of that was Eldora’s fault because she was the one who kept her away from Bloom but Selina herself felt that Bloom could no longer understand her so it would be better for them to go their separate ways. It made them both lonely and miserable but Bloom found her friends and other people who care about her. While Selina estranged herself from Bloom and Eldora, Bloom stuck closely with Winx and kept in touch with Faragonda (even when Faragonda wasn’t honest with her, Bloom still believed she had her best interests in mind). Bloom’s had much better guidance in Daphne than Selina’s ever had from Acheron who’s isolating her very similarly to how Avalon was manipulating Bloom (something that Bloom notices once Selina’s true motivations are revealed but Selina can’t understand when she feels like Bloom is trying to take away from her her last means of having power and agency). And while Bloom is also angry at Selina for the pain she’s causing the other Winx, she understands what Selina has gone through when she didn’t have Winx of her own to pull her out of her loneliness. She doesn’t want to fight Selina when they are both living out their worst nightmares – Acheron has left Selina powerless while Bloom is once again isolated and lonely in her uniqueness of being the only one who can stop Acheron since he was freed with her power. With Bloom fighting Acheron on her own and refusing to hurt Selina, Selina has to count on the rest of Winx for help and protection and she finally gets to experience some of the love that helped Bloom overcome her loneliness. She still has a lot of negative feelings towards Bloom to work through when it comes to what happened on Earth and Bloom getting back her family while Selina’s mother is dead but she decides to try studying at CT because she feels that the community there might be just right for her. She doesn’t want to go back to Eldora or stay at Alfea which is strongly connected to her past mistakes in her mind. Besides, she likes being a witch since it doesn’t come with the pressure that being the second to last fairy on Earth put on her and Griffin’s left a good impression when she was also staying at Alfea with CT being overtaken.
