She hails from Melody and currently acts as its Guardian Fairy. Musa is the daughter of Matlin and Ho-Boe, and is the girlfriend of Riven. She and her boyfriend, Riven, have a rocky and difficult but passionate relationship. Musa is a skilled singer and musician. She is one of the founding members of the Winx Club, being the fifth Winx girl introduced after Bloom, Stella, Flora and Tecna, and is an alumna/student of the Alfea College for Fairies. Appearance Musa has a light, almost pale skin tone, dark blue hair and thin dark blue eyes. While initially kept in short pigtails, Musa has let her hair grow out from Season 3 onwards thanks to a spell that lengthened it down to her waist, and has since styled it in many other ways, especially in comparison to the other Winx girls. Civilian Winx Club For Season 1 and most of Season 2, Musa keeps her hair tied up in short high pigtails. Her outfit consists of a small red tank top that exposes her midriff and has a single strap that runs over her right shoulder, a single thin purple armlet that is usually worn around her right bicep but can be seen around her left one on occasion, baggy blue jeans that she keeps sagging low enough to show the part of her pink underwear and big red sneakers with white soles. For Season 2 and Season 3 as stated earlier, Musa's hair grows considerably in "The Princess Ball", causing her short pigtails to grow down to her waist while it is still tied up with two chin-length hair strands in front of her ears. She wears a strapless turquoise tunic with orange stripes that run in a checkered pattern, an orange belt with a square white buckle wrapped around her waist that makes the ends of the tube top flare out, almost causing it to look like a miniskirt over light blue jeans, long disconnected pastel blue sleeves with big turquoise cuffs, and big turquoise sneakers with dark blue soles. For Season 4, Musa's hair is not tied up in her signature pigtails, opting to let her hair flow freely down behind her as she also discards her typical hime cut bangs by keeping them in a side-swept style instead. She wears a pastel pink tank top under a short-sleeved magenta shirt with white polkadots and longer, maroon-colored sleeves that run down to her wrists, a black belt with a square, silver buckle and several silver rings, a deep pink-and-black plaid miniskirt, white knee-high socks each with a pair of reddish-pink that run across the top horizontally, and magenta-colored high-heels with white polkadots similar to her shirt. For Season 5, Musa wears a small sleeveless magenta vest over a pastel pink tank top with the phrase "I ♥ Music" printed on it (only in official stock art with the heart being purple and covered in sparkles), purple arm warmers, a thin lilac-colored belt that runs through blue capris, and blue knee-high, high-heeled boots with a dark fishnetted design and open toes. She also wears an assortment of different accessories such as her yellow headphones (adorned with red jewels in official art), a long necklace made up of red, blue and purple beads, and some hooped bracelets; a pair of thin red ones followed by a thicker blue bejeweled one on both of her arms. Her hime cut-styled bangs make a return as she now ties a bit of her hair is into a small but noticeable bun, leaving the rest to flow freely as it is now long enough to rest at knee-length. In Season 6, Musa wears a white top with a pink and grey checkered sweater along with a matching pink tie. Her skirt is a patterned plaid with blue stripes. Her tights are grey with deep blue polka-dots while her heels are deep blue with pink bows. Musa's hair is parted into two large pigtails with flowy long waves in the back and bangs in the front. In Season 7, Musa wears a neon pink vest with black trim on top of a deep purple blouse with pastel lavender sleeves. She also wears a pastel pink skirt with black stripes and little black bows. Her stockings are deep purple with little bows and her shoes are neon pink with aqua green heels with a black/white checkered pattern. Musa's hair is straight, covered with a pink headband. She also has golden hoop earrings along with a dark blue tie with a note in the middle. In Season 8, Musa's hair is straight where it now appears to stop above her ankles in the back with her usual square bangs in the front. She wears a purple headband with a purple bow on the right side, a long laced purple dress with white sleeves and a purple vest, grey leggings underneath her dress with white lace with matching white lace trim. Her boots are brown with white trim, magenta ribbons and purple stockings underneath. Musa's accessories consists of aqua blue headphones along with a variety of necklaces and a belt. Seasons 1 and 2 Seasons 1 and 2 Season 5 Season 5 Season 7 Season 7 Seasons 2 and 3 Seasons 2 and 3 Season 4 Season 4 Season 6 Season 6 Season 8 Season 8 World of Winx For both seasons her outfit consists of an ocean blue top with a variation of blue and pink gemstones and a pink bow decal along with a teal tank underneath. Her skirt is a mixture of pink and blue with cutouts shaping triangles and diamonds along with a detailed belt with blue and white rhinestones. Her stockings are different variations and textures of blue with pink high heels. On her left arm she has a studded aqua bracelet while on her right she has a watch with a few hooped bracelets. Musa's hair is a sapphire blue with bangs in the front with lengthy waves in the back. Both Seasons Both Seasons Carrying her bag. Carrying her bag. Fairy Forms Though she is recognized as the Fairy of Music, anything related to music acts as a minor detail within most of Musa's Fairy Forms, like the headphones she wears in her Winx, the note-shaped wings she gains in Believix, or just any small note-shaped accessories. Interestingly, her color palette also makes a major shift; starting out from red with her Winx and gaining yellows and golds as accents with Enchantix, only for blue to replace the yellows in Believix and onward. The hard red that initially acted as the primary color to her Fairy Forms gradually became more and more pink, even shifting to purple completely with Bloomix. Personality Musa loves music, dancing, singing, and playing all instruments, but her favorite instrument is the concert flute, the first instrument she ever learned to play. Musa usually plays amazing music, but plays best when she is alone by herself in Alfea in a quiet spot. Despite being the most tomboyish of the Winx, she is perhaps the most emotionally vulnerable, and she balances this by putting up a tough front. Surprisingly (considering Tecna is the brain of the group), Musa gets the best grades of her friends, as mentioned in "Honor Above All". Her emotional weakness is the result of her mother's death and her father is far away. She is also a bit of a loner though over time she becomes more open and closely bonded to the rest of her friends. She also loses more of her tomboyish attitudes and appearance over time. She has a strong will and personality which unfortunately makes her clash with her boyfriend Riven the most among the group, which even cumulates in their break-up in Season 6. Musa shows her maturity by that choice, understanding that relationships do not always work out, and it is perfectly fine to go separate paths, yet without animosity towards each other. She can, however, be judgemental and have preconceived notions about people regarding their past, which can make her pretty distrusting, as demonstrated by her attitude towards Riven in Season 8. Magical Abilities Winx Club Image 3545 Musa's opera singing communication technique. Musa, as the Fairy of Music, has music-based powers. Musa's powers are connected not just with music but the actual power of sound waves and sonic pressure. Musa can manipulate things by creating sonic booms which cause rumbling and crashes. She can also create sonic vibes and pulses which charge through the air like energy blasts. Musa is able to create sonic waves which hypnotize and block the line of sight. Musa can unleash disrupting sonic booms which can split the earth and crash in the air. She can create disco-ball force-fields, distracting musical blasts, and virtual speakers which enclose around an enemy and immobilize them through incredibly loud bass music. Musa can also create walls and barriers of the Grand Staff. Percussive Hit(I117) Musa unleashing a dissonance sound at Stormy. Musa is also able to release sound waves that can be used to calm others and even put them to sleep. Musa can release mental sound waves to communicate with other civilians from Melody and displays this again with her fairy animal. Musa has developed the ability to control others (bodies) by dancing, generating a miniature earthquake by placing her hand on the ground and generating low-pressure sound waves, and even imprisoning others in a sound field. She is capable of controlling musical instruments allowing her to silence, conjure, and levitate them. Musa is capable of casting spells by playing her flute channeling her magical music into barriers, hypnotizing minds, and summoning animals. By Season 6 her singing voice alone is capable of enchanting objects namely musical instruments as seen with the Music Cafe. JfBp27 Musa casting a cleaning spell. Musa also knows basic first-level spells such as telekinesis, transmuting objects, fixing minor messes etc. Naturally, as the Guardian fairy of music; Musa is a naturally gifted singer even getting a record deal from a famous music producer. This also applies to musical instruments as she is able to recognize the sound of any musical instrument as well as playing them with ease. Musa learned to opera sing from her mother allowing her to communicate with birds. She has naturally enhanced hearing along with a strong willed voice. When Musa and Flora were fighting Valtor, he was able to weaken her with the power of silence meaning that she is weakened if there is no sound. Not only is she weaken when their is no sound but was not even able to transform and only use basic spells when her voice was stolen in "The Music Cafe". She is also considered somewhat of a telepathic fairy[3], which was showcased in the comics as she was able to reveal the memories and feelings of someone through song.[4] World of Winx Dreamix Musa Musa still maintains her status as the Fairy of Music and thus, retains her music and sound-oriented powers. She mainly uses her powers to create sound waves capable of either disorienting her opponents by damaging their eardrums or disrupting certain attacks and traps. She can also create barriers made from sound waves that can completely disrupt oncoming attacks and can expand these barriers to act as wide-scale attacks. She seems capable of imbuing sound amplifying properties to objects like she does to a broken microphone in the Season 2 episode "A Flower in the Snow" and, much like in earlier seasons of the main series, Musa possesses sensitive hearing. This time around, Musa uses her powers in more strategic and practical ways than she does either offensively or defensively. She is capable of picking up on a person or creature's location by sending out sound waves like a radar in a similar way to echolocation and does so in many instances like when she needed to locate Annabelle and the Crocodile Man in the episodes "New Powers" and "The Fall of the Queen" respectively. By Season 2, this ability of hers is further amplified upon gaining Onyrix as her special Onyrix Power, Sound Harmony, allows her to hone in on a target's sounds so that she can effectively track them down. She can also keep a person's vocal imprint memorized in case she needs to track them down at a later time. She is also capable of recreating certain sounds to lure enemies out of hiding and this can be seen when she lures the Crocodile Man out by replicating the sound of footsteps in the episode "The Legend of the Crocodile Man." Naturally, Musa's powers come with a weakness: dissonance or the lack of harmony. Her powers can be effectively nullified if she is pitted against a foe capable of creating stronger and more erratic sound waves as they would cancel out her own. If they are strong enough, they can also cause Musa physical harm, giving her a feeling that her head is being split apart. Additionally, it is revealed in the first episode of Season 2 that the Winx's powers, Musa's included, are generated from dreams and thus, are closely linked with the World of Dreams. According to the Spirit of the World of Dreams, the Winx would lose their fairy magic should the World of Dreams fall into ruin.

Initially an uncooperative loner, he has since become a more amiable member of the team. He specializes in resourcefulness and stealth, and is a skilled fighter. Riven was best friends with Nabu and is Musa's boyfriend. Appearance Like other Specialists, Riven is a young man with an evidently muscular build. His skin is rosy with a slight tan, and his eyes are narrow and indigo-colored. He has short red-violet hair that is spiked back with only two bangs framing his face. Civilian In Season 1, Riven wears a white midriff muscle shirt with burgundy pants and slightly darker sneakers. He also wears a pair of gray wristbands. In Season 2 and 3, he sports a British flag-inspired midriff with an upturned collar; boot cut jeans with an X-shaped gray waistband, and light gray shoes. On his wrists, he wears a pair of red-brown arm bracers. In Season 4 and 5, his outfit consists of a blue shirt and a white collared vest, purple pants with a white belt, and dark slate-blue shoes that have white soles. In Season 8, he wears a long sleeved, white button-up dresss shirt. He wears a black jacket with gold shoulder pads and ring detailing. He wears simple denim jeans with Black army style boots with black laces and white soles. He also has a purple poka-dot scarf. Season 1 Season 1 Seasons 4 and 5 Seasons 4 and 5 Seasons 2 and 3 Seasons 2 and 3 Season 8 Season 8 Uniforms For Seasons 1-5, Riven wears the original Red Fountain uniform for school and missions. It resembles a long-sleeved, dark blue and white unitard with knee-high blue boots and a sky blue cape. Riven's cape is held in place by a round magenta pink gem. In Season 8, the standard uniform is completely upgraded and redesigned to exclude any capes. Riven's new uniform and is dark purple with blue and gray highlights. In Seasons 6 and 7, the Specialists have a Linphea College uniform. It is another blue bodysuit but with more armor in the shoulder, chest, forearm and leg areas. Riven's uniform has a magenta pink diamond in the center of the chest. Riven's Red Fountain Uniform, Seasons 1 - 5 Riven's Red Fountain Uniform, Seasons 1 - 5 Riven's Linphea College Uniform, Seasons 6 Riven's Linphea College Uniform, Seasons 6 Riven's Red Fountain Uniform, Seasons 8 Riven's Red Fountain Uniform, Seasons 8 Personality Riven is the impulsive, competitive, realistic and goal-oriented member of the Specialists. He can be rather hot-headed, experiencing moments of envy and blind aggression; but he is also protective and caring. Riven has trouble expressing his emotions in a suitable manner, even when he is not putting up a cold front. This often leads to him clashing with Musa. In Season 1, Riven was a bit of a lone wolf. He was arrogant and mean-spirited, which often put him at odds with the rest of the Winx and Specialists. However, he was also thin-skinned and sensitive to what people thought about him. As a result, he was easily affected when people laughed at or humiliated him — shown when Bloom dumped water on his head in "A Friendship Sundered". Riven's insecurities caused him to doubt the authenticity of those around him and question who his true friends were. Because of this, Darcy was able to take advantage of Riven's distrust of his team. He eventually recognizes his mistake, acknowledging the Specialists and Winx as his real friends, and begins to reconcile with them. Despite his initially unfriendly attitude in Season 1, Riven is shown to have a conscience early on, though it is often overshadowed by his shortcomings. He is able to put aside his differences to cooperate with Brandon by the end of "The Black-Mud Swamp". He also assists Musa and Darcy when they are injured in "Friends in Need" and "Betrayed!", respectively. This compassion is not solely limited to his love interests, as he was extremely unwilling to leave Griffin and her students behind while they were imprisoned in their school's dungeon during the Trix's ongoing invasion in season 1. Even though the Army of Darkness's scrapers would have surely recaptured him, he did not budge until Griffin reasoned with him. Once he snuck back into Cloud Tower with his friends, she was the first thing he thought of and went to release her with Brandon. He can also be reflective when not blinded by his anger. In the episode "Storming Cloud Tower," Riven expresses that there are many things he dislikes about himself, but denies the notion that he is a monster, claiming that even he "has a heart". He goes on to prove this statement through his gradual development as a character. From late Season 1 onward, Riven slowly begins to improve as a person. Though he still struggles to express his emotions, he is noticeably friendlier and more cooperative throughout Season 2. As time goes on, he becomes more compassionate and relaxed, no longer taking his friends' jokes too seriously (even making some himself). He smiles a lot more and doesn’t mind engaging in some goofy behavior. In spite of this, Riven remains a straightforward and blunt person. He is very realistic and vocal about his opinions. This is shown in Season 3, when the Winx are heading to Eraklyon to get an explanation from Sky for his sudden decision to marry Diaspro. Riven reminds Bloom that she cannot force someone to love her or give her an explanation. He also attempted to knock some sense into Timmy when Tecna disappeared into the Omega Portal even if it was hard for the latter to hear it. Nonetheless, he listens to Timmy when he says he can still sense Tecna's magical vibe (indicating she is alive) and quietly comforts him. Later on, in Season 4, Riven displays an even more vulnerable side. In "Morgana's Secrets", after Nabu's death, he goes to a quiet place away from the others and cries for the loss of his friend. It is shown in the comics that Riven is extremely protective of his friends, going so far as to remain secretive of a dangerous mission for fear of their safety. Because of this, he unintentionally hurts the people who love him. Even so, he is willing to risk that in favor of their well being. His protectiveness is also present in the animated series. Though his initial reason for confronting Nabu in "The Crystal Labyrinth" was about kissing Musa (a misunderstanding), Riven grows defensive when he arrives on scene and finds his friends and girlfriend unconscious. Believing Nabu to be an enemy, Riven engages him in a fight, declaring "Nobody takes down my buddies or hits on my girlfriend!". Ironically, the two become close friends after this encounter, with Riven shielding Nabu from Icy's attack later in the episode. In Season 6, Riven's sudden return to his over-competitiveness and obsession with training was, in fact, to make sure he was strong enough to protect Musa. But when he sees that his training was not enough to protect her, he decides to venture out to continue his training, showing his determination. Riven's initial wariness of people, especially women, is believed to have originated from his mother. She abandoned him when he was younger, supposedly in pursuit of money. As a result, he has come to hate her. It seems he used to project those feelings of disdain and distrust unto others, which led to his difficulty with maintaining relationships in the beginning. Books In Fairy Insider, he is mentioned to be hard to get to know, great at sports and cool, yet sometimes with a "crummy," unpleasant, attitude. In Perle, his image can be seen in the end but he is not mentioned. Skills Riven's Phantoblade Riven's original weapon. Riven is an excellent swordsman, wielding a scimitar-styled purple phantoblade and a bolas. He is also very good at dragon wrangling and is a very skilled thief and lock picker. This bit of knowledge served him well when he was trapped in the dungeons of Cloud Tower by the Trix as Riven picked the lock that had been put on his cell door to free himself. Riven seems to be the most knowledgeable in stealth and strategic planning. He is shown to be observant, adaptable and capable in constructing makeshift weapons. He also seems to use smoke bombs often. He knows how to snowboard and his athleticism is on par with Sky but falls a bit short in comparison to Aisha. In Season 6, he is quite agile as he was seen scaling the walls of Aisha's gym (during a sparring session with Sky) to retrieve his fencing sword Sky had knocked out of his hands. RivenNunchakuEp802 In Season 8, he utilizes another new weapon - a pair of nunchakus (karate sticks). The nunchaku can be used as both offensive and defensive weapons. Offensively, it is used to strike and whirling it makes the hard handles into a blunt force. The chains can be used wrap around something (e.g. a weapon) to disarm it or immobilize it. The handles can also be combined in single sticks and then combined further to make a four-stick projectile weapon. Alongside fighting skills, Riven knows how to play the Chinese zither. Etymology Riven's name might have come from: Rivendell, which is a place featured in the The Lord of the Rings books of J.R.R. Tolkien, since it seems that many alphabets, characters, names, objects and places in the Winx Club universe were inspired from Tolkien's fictional universe. It was one of the last outposts of the Elves in Middle-Earth and where the lord Elrond resides. Rivendell itself is the English/Old English translation of Sindarin Elvish Imladris, meaning "Deep Valley of the Cleft". The Old English word Riven which means "to be torn in half".
