Not all the characters in Fate: The Winx Saga are as intelligent as their cartoon counterparts. Due to the more mature nature of the show and the powerful nature of the characters, the decisions they make have more catastrophic consequences. One choice can easily mean the difference between life and death.

The faires and specialists often charge headfirst into danger without considering whether it’s the best approach. They forget that the pen is mightier than the sword. There are only a handful of characters who take the time to think about their actions, so they can find the best possible solution to their problems.

10 Riven

No matter how smart Riven could turn out to be, his tendency to act on emotion alone makes him the worst choice for any situation. He’s rash, reckless, and he can’t be trusted to follow through with a plan. His alliances could change at any second because Riven doesn’t quite know what he’s doing himself.

He’s lost and he needs to find himself before he can hold any real weight. Riven bases all of his choices on how he feels in the moment, and because of that he doesn’t make smart decisions.

9 Stella

Stella doesn’t come up with the best plans, which she proves all throughout Fate Season 1. Sick of Bloom and worried her presence might be a threat to her relationship with Sky, Stella loans Bloom her ring to take her back to Earth.

Not only would this be dangerous for any student, but Bloom just found out she was a fairy and had no idea what she was doing. The ring ends up lost and Stella ends up mad. But, it was no one’s fault but her own.

8 Bloom

Bloom’s an “act now, think later,” type of person. She never thinks about the consequences of her actions, and most of her decisions are downright terrible. One would think that because Bloom isn’t familiar with the world of magic, she’d step back and try to learn, but she does the opposite.

Bloom charges headfirst into danger with no idea of what she’s getting herself into. She decides to practice her magic alone and without supervision, and almost sets the forest on fire.

7 Sky

Like Bloom, Sky doesn’t think before he acts. He does what he wants to do no matter what people tell him. Unlike Bloom, Sky has a grasp on how dangerous the world can be, but he still makes questionable choices.

In Sky’s defense, everything he does is for the people he cares about. He just wants to help more than anything. However, Sky doesn’t understand that seeking out danger on a whim instead of sitting down and coming up with a plan isn’t the solution.

6 Dane

As far as intelligence goes, Dane has an incredible mind. However, he usually ends up making the worst decisions. If he chooses not to put his intelligence to use, can he really be all that smart?

Dane always backs himself into a corner and lets people pressure him into doing things he doesn’t want to do. Although he has the capabilities, he usually can’t get himself out of the situation he ends up in, because he’s too afraid to stand up to others.

5 Terra

Terra is better at thinking things through than most of the characters, but when she gets angry there’s no saying what she’ll do.

Terra is the first person to figure out when something’s wrong, and she’s good at keeping tabs on everyone. If one of the girls is hiding something, Terra can usually discover what it is. Overall, she can be smart but sometimes forgets to think.

4 Sam

Sam isn’t front and center in Fate, so viewers haven’t seen as much of him as they have of the other characters. He also wasn’t a part of the animated series. Still, Sam makes good choices and is always in the right. He uses his intangibility to sneak through the walls of  Alfea when he’s late for class, and he has no problem picking up on the people around him.

Sam even managed to befriend Musa, a character who quite literally tries to block everyone out, which speaks to an emotional intelligence as well as a general one.

3 Aisha

Aisha always knows when something’s going on, especially with Bloom. When Bloom goes off on her own, she’s tracked her down and saved her on more than one occasion. Aisha is one of the more intelligent characters because she thinks about cause and effect.

Everyone else does what they want to do when they want to do it, but Aisha trusts her gut when something feels like a bad idea. While it doesn’t always make her the most popular, it certainly helps keeps her friends safe.

2 Musa

Because of her abilities as an empath, Musa is extremely in tune with what’s going on around her. Although she tries to block everyone out, she can pick up the tone of any situation if she wants to. Musa has learned to connect a person’s emotions with their thoughts, as even without her powers she’s good at reading people.

She was the only person who could see how genuinely unhappy Riven was and why. Additionally, Musa is the most sensible of the group, and she’s a grounding force for the Winx girls.

1 Beatrix

No one, including the audience, had any idea what side Beatrix was on. She worked under everyone’s noses while carrying out her own agenda.

Not even the characters who were close to her had any real idea what she was up to, or what she was doing most of the time. Beatrix is the most cunning of the cast, and she’s especially talented at getting what she wants from others. She’s such a tactful manipulator, that fans still have no clue what’s real about Beatrix and what’s a lie.
