She hails from Linphea, where she currently acts as its Guardian Fairy. She is Helia's girlfriend. The team usually relies on her for potions and magic advice. Flora is one of the founding members of the Winx Club, being the third Winx girl introduced after Bloom and Stella, and is an alumna/student of the Alfea College for Fairies as of The Secret of the Lost Kingdom. Appearance Flora is tan-skinned with long light-brown hair that has bangs framing on either side of her face where it has visible blonde streaks with a single small hair strand sticking up (it is sometimes unseen in both her civilian and fairy forms) and narrow green-jade eyes. Civilian Winx Club For Season 1 and most of Season 2, Flora wears a bright yellowish-green off-the-shoulder smock top with puffy short sleeves that bares her midriff and belly, a pink wrap miniskirt with little slits on both sides and with strawberry patterns of a darker shade with a thin yellow belt that hangs midway down the skirt, two sets of yellow bangle bracelets on each arm (in some occasions, she wears two purple bangles and a yellow green set too), and pink platform sandals with fuchsia-colored flowers by her ankles. She also wears large golden hoop earrings. For Seasons 2 and 3, Flora wears a pink short-sleeved midriff with a darker pink trim and puffy sleeves with dark pink polka dots, a fuchsia sash over a layered red skirt with maroon shorts underneath, pink knee-high socks and red platform shoes to match her skirt. She retains her large golden hoop earrings and also wears a green choker tied neatly around her neck with a bow, as well as two bead bracelets around her right wrist; one green and one pink. For Season 4, Flora wears a small pink sundress with lime-green straps, a matching lime-green ribbon that wraps around her waist just below her chest, and a floral print that makes up most of her dress and comes in white, green, yellow, pink and fuchsia. She also wears green platform heels that are secured to her feet by pastel pink ribbons. For Season 5, Flora's hair is now tied up into a ponytail by a pink headband with a bright green bow. She wears a pink, soft jagged-edged, sleeveless shirt with a grass green vest, as well as a sharp-edged layered skirt that alternates between pink with white trim and fuschia with green trim all topped by a pink belt with a square silver buckle, and knee-high fuchsia-colored boots with knee high lime edge burgundy socks and green high heels. For Season 6, Flora's hair remains tied up into a ponytail much like her appearance in the previous season, but she has pieces of hair held up with a big pink bow that leans more towards her right side instead. She wears a small royal blue coat/vest with a starry plaid pattern over a white dress shirt; the collar possessing a black tie wrapped around it neatly, ending in a bow. She also wears a pink skirt with a small blue bow on the waist, purple and pink striped leggings and light blue heels with black bows on the toes. She also wears a small starry bracelet around her left wrist. For Season 7, Flora's hair is no longer tied up and she wears a pastel green headband. She wears a green short-sleeved wool top with dark blue trim over a pale pink button-up dress shirt with a dark blue tie accompanied by a pink flower pin worn around the collar, a pink skirt with a dark blue plaid pattern and trim, green socks that are partially folded over to keep them at knee-high length, and dark blue shoes with pink soles, laces and a pink and dark blue plaid pattern on the front to match with her skirt. Her dress shirt is also only half-tucked into her skirt. For Season 8, Flora keeps her hair down (similar to her appearance in the prior season as well as the first four except that she appears to no longer have the small hair strand) where she wears a lilac-colored headband that has a purple layered flower on the left side. She wears a lilac-colored shawl decorated with a white floral pattern over a long-sleeved, fuchsia-colored shirt almost long enough to be considered as a dress, which ends in a pastel pink petticoat and pale pink ruffles at her sleeves. She also wears pastel blue, knee-high socks with a white lace trim and brown boots with the same white lace trim and faux-fur around her ankles. Seasons 1 and 2 Seasons 1 and 2 Season 5 Season 5 Season 6 Season 6 Season 8 Season 8 Seasons 2 and 3 Seasons 2 and 3 Season 4 Season 4 Season 7 Season 7 World of Winx Flora's civilian look for both seasons of World of Winx consists of a small short-sleeved light blue hoodie with lighter blue flowers across the chest worn over a white dress shirt, a skirt in various shades of pink and white, sparkly silver leggings and strapply pink heels. She also wears six different bracelets on her right wrist and always has one long strand of hair hang off the right side of her face that often rests on her right shoulder. Occasionally, she can be seen sporting a small, square pink handbag/purse. Both Seasons Both Seasons Carrying her handbag. Carrying her handbag. Fairy Forms As the self-proclaimed Fairy of Nature, many of Flora's Fairy Forms retain a flowery theme to them; namely that of a pink rose. While pink stands as the signature color of Flora's various forms with green as an accent, some forms have the colors reversed with green as the primary color and pink as its accent. Personality Flora is shown to be a very calm, soft-spoken, caring, sweet, shy and genuine girl who loves plants and vegetation of all kinds. Being interested in experimenting with her plants, Flora became the potion master of the group who specializes in brewing and creating remedies and medicines from the uses of her magical plants. Due to her gentle and caring personality, Flora is strongly connected to nature and loves helping people. She is shown to have a sensitive personality to the point where she would instinctively care for her friends as well as her plants when they are in distress. Flora is the most mature member of the Winx as she possesses a deep sense of love, peace, happiness and tranquility. However, it is shown that Flora has an insecure side to her personality as she would have problems believing in herself at times. Her insecurity would sometimes cause her to hide most of her feelings to the point where she would have problems expressing them. Flora is one of the most diligent student at Alfea and is cautious of her actions. Although she has a kind-hearted side, she at times gets very angry at her enemies which can cause her to act quickly and show a more aggressive side of herself. This is seen a few times throughout the series. As an older sister, she is shown to be quite overprotective who often forgets that people do mature and can protect themselves. Miele often has to deal with this side of Flora whenever the latter suspects a mission to be too dangerous. In this case, Flora has demonstrated some level of ignorance as this attitude tends to hurt Miele's feelings. Magical Abilities Winx Club All Mighty Power of Nature Flora shooting a magic beam Flora, as the Fairy of Nature, has nature-based powers. Flora can generate, grow, and control various vegetation, but she mainly uses vines for defensive moves such as creating barriers, entangling opponents, and supporting heavy objects. Aside from her vines, she is often seen controlling flowers to use as diverse attacks using pollen and dust to provide distractions, producing swirls of petals/leaves, conjuring food (namely fruits/vegetables), altering the growth plants such as growing a tomato crop from an already existing tomato ("Stella's Big Party"), and even summoning animals ("Mission at Cloudtower"). Winter rose 421 Flora summoning thorny vines. Flora's strength relies on her surrounding environment and requires her to be at one with nature. Flora is able to hear the voice of nature speaking to her, more so than in an instinctive manner that all Alfea Fairies are taught. Rather, she is able to use her magic to listen to the voice of the forest. This skill has also proven to be a disadvantage at times, as the destruction of nearby nature will cause excruciating pain to her and weaken her own self and her ability to focus her magic properly, even her flight. Flora like Tecna and Musa seems to have a very strong connection with her magical element and her natural essence, in her case she is like a plant seeing as her power were completely negated in the simulated cave in "Rescue Mission" and when Valtor used a spell that depleted her of light witnessed in "Fury". By Season 4, Flora develops the ability to alter the seasons which she promptly displays in a fight against the Snow Queen, by bringing forth a Spring thaw. 3x18-FloraTestAttack Flora's cherry blossom attack. Flora in terms of elemental power represents earth which she displays by setting off earthquakes and smashing a boulder with her mind. Her source of power is life itself as she has been seen turning inanimate objects into living creatures such as ice arrows into birds, stuffed animals into the fairy pets. She also has a connection with the air being capable of summoning powerful breezes, using plants to absorb smoke and produce oxygen, and producing fragrances that can be used to repeal an enemy or calm them down as seen in "Stella's Big Party" and "Mission for the Prime Stars". Flora has developed the ability to physically heal other beings mostly after they have experienced a recent trauma. Her magic is green in color. Like all magical beings Flora can utilizes magical energy based attacks and defenses. She also knows some basic first-level spells, such as telekinesis, transmuting objects and fixing minor messes. Flora is shown to be gifted with potion brewing as well as herbalism. World of Winx Flora still maintains her status as the Fairy of Nature and thus, retains her nature-based oriented powers and draws power from the nature of her surroundings. She can conjure up vines to bind her enemies, which is even a specialty of hers granted by her Dreamix powers, rescue others if necessary, and release blasts of flower petals. However, her powers seem much more limited as, more often than not, her vines will fail to keep an enemy restricted. WOW8 (Locating Yu) Flora gaining information through plants As a nature fairy, Flora can directly communicate with various plants and she showcases this ability numerous times like when searching for the Crocodile Man and Yu in multiple episodes or by communicating with forest spirits. Her powers are further amplified upon gaining Onyrix, as she is granted the ability to travel through the shared root system of plants from one place to another. She also has the ability to sense living aspects of her surroundings more so than any of the Winx as she was able to discern the cave of the Enchanted Swamp was a living creature in the episode "The Alligator Man." Additionally, through the use of her special Onyrix Power, Flora is capable of restoring any damaged nature back to the time when it was more glorious and healthy. Flora still maintains her control over plants mainly by manipulating vines, but she is also capable of seeing through the point of view of plants, control forests more specifically calling forth branches as well as intense winds, and capable of conjuring food(mainly fruits and vegetables). She displays the ability to shoot green energy beams in The Alligator Man. However, being so heavily connected to nature as she is comes at a price, as Flora can be heavily injured if she is unable to connect with the surrounding nature due to it dying or already being dead. As shown in the episode "A Flower in the Snow," Flora experiences internal pain at the loss of any surrounding nature and gets severely weakened from it, even to the point of being rendered powerless unless the nature is brought back. Additionally, it is revealed in the first episode of the second season that the Winx's powers, Flora'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. Uses of Magic "Dancing smoke, out of my hands.

He is an art student as well as an excellent pilot. He also considers himself to be a pacifist like Flora, despite his great amount of strength. Appearance Helia's appearance is different than the other Specialists, namely because of his waist-length black hair and blue eyes. He also has a well-built body and fair skin tone. Helia also seems to prefer looser clothing. Prior to Season 4, he has long, flowing, black hair that he wears tied in a loose ponytail. In Season 4, he cuts his hair into a spiky style, but it remains longer than the other Specialists.[2] Later in Season 8, Helia's hair length is now shorter, reaching his neck. Civilian In Season 2 and in a few episodes of Season 3 and Season 4, he tied his hair in a loose side ponytail on the left with bangs swept on the right side and he wore a light green poet's shirt with beige khakis. In Season 4 - 7, he wears a light blue shirt, khaki pants, and sneakers. In Season 8, he sports a white shirt with a black vest, with a pair of khaki pants (a callback to his first civilian look) with a mahogany-brown belt with a gold buckle. He also wears a pair of brownish-gold shoes with black laces, as well as a blue gem necklace held with a black string. He finishes the look with a black fedora hat, matching his vest.

Seasons 4 - 7 Seasons 4 - 7 Uniforms Helia's uniforms are skin tight with a cape. His cape clasps/gem is orange. Red Fountain sports a new uniform in Season 8 and the capes are omitted. His uniform is Seaon 8 is now orange. Helia's Red Fountain Uniform, Seasons 2 - 5 Helia's Red Fountain Uniform, Seasons 2 - 5 Helia's Linphea College Uniform, Seasons 6 - 7 Helia's Linphea College Uniform, Seasons 6 - 7 Helia's Red Fountain Uniform, Season 8 Helia's Red Fountain Uniform, Season 8 Personality Out of all the Specialists, Helia is the most mature guy as he is calm, lacks a temper, encouraging, and never jealous. Once being described by Brandon as being a pacifist, Helia loves writing poems, drawing and romance. He is very artistic and he is not afraid of making important decisions and doing what is right, even if his friends disagree with him. He is very daring at times, such as the time he kissed Flora in Darkar's Realm. Helia is also not afraid to voice his thoughts, as shown in Season 3 when he berated Riven for his behavior and if he continues he will lose Musa, and in Season 4, when he acts as a medium, like Nabu, between Sky and Bloom, or Musa and Riven. Another example was, when Diana allowed nature to terrorize the citizens of Gardenia as punishment for destroying nature, Helia tries in vain to explain that not all humans disrespect nature and that destruction is not the answer. Helia is a deep thinker, shown when he explained that often, the true context of "nothing" means a lot. He is also witty.[3] Some would say that he is shy, but that is only due to his lack of major speaking parts or involvement to the plot in Season 2 and Season 3. Helia did however, had trouble expressing his feelings for Flora as much as she did. He also has a lot of faith and belief in Flora, persuading her to trust herself such as when she tried to heal the Flower of Life, and when she tried to free herself from the roots cast by Diana. He also openly expresses his strong belief in her for example when she wrapped Anagan up in vines he stated proudly, "Flora's magic is really strong, he's not getting out of that anytime soon." Like Nabu, Helia is very open-minded and understanding, and therefore, he does not jump to conclusions. This can be seen when Riven got jealous of Musa getting attention from Andy and his band, when in fact their love for music installed a great bond between them, which is only natural. Skills ~Helia Attack~ Helia using his gloves to restrain and electrocute a monster. Due to his pacifistic nature, Helia's style of fighting utilizes restraint and disarming his opponents. His weapon of choice is a laser string glove, which is strong enough to hold back Kerborg with one hand, but can also be used to electrocute opponents to subdue them. He rarely uses direct physical combat. In Season 8, he will be utilizing another new weapon - a rope weapon with a handle. He utilizes this with great ease and grace. The rope is used to flick away opponents, strangle, and restrain them. Helia has a certain amount of strength as evidenced by the time he was able to single handily hold off a Gregthroat with his string glove on one hand. Further evidence is shown when he struggles to pull Sky's damaged fighter craft Red Wing into the hanger of the flying ship without being held down to anything. HeliaRopeWeapon813 Helia uses his new weapon to flick an enemy away. In the "The Shaab Stone" arc in the monthly magazines, Helia is shown as a proficient double agent, capable of investigating real fights to fake an alibi, faking an expulsion from Red Fountain and lying to everyone, even Flora, to break into Alfea's administration to steal documents to trick a crime boss into opening the vault holding the Shaab Stone, from which he can steal. He lies with a heavy heart though and reveals all the deceptions, hoping that he can start anew with Flora. He is skilled in martial arts and espionage. Helia is never shown riding a hoverbike until Season 5. Etymology The name Helia means "The Sun" in Greek. Helia is also the name of one of the Heliades, the daughters of the Greek Sun God, Helios. It should also be noted that the name Helia (Ηλία) is a feminine name in Greek; its masculine Greek form would be Helios (Ἥλιος), who is the "God of the Sun" and has the same meaning (Sun). Its masculine forms in Spanish and in Portuguese would respectively be "Helios" and "Hélio," which are used as Helia's name in one of the Latin American dubs where the use of Roman Languages is dominant and the feminine/masculine role plays a large part in language. Helia is also the only Specialist with an originally feminine name. This could hint at the possibility of Helia originally being planned to be a girl (referring also to his long blue hair), but it was probably changed to a boy so Flora could have a boyfriend. Helia's somewhat feminine appearance could also be a nod to bishōnen: a character trope that is typically found in a anime where young men with softer and somewhat feminine or androgynous features that are presented as more attractive.
