Fate: The Winx Saga – The Main Characters, Ranked By Likability

When Netflix decided to create a live-action reboot of The Winx Club, fans of the animated series were wary about whether the show would live up to its predecessor. After its release, Fate: The Winx Saga received mixed reviews from critics and viewers, but ultimately, snagged a Season 2 renewal.

Because Fate is based on a world of fantasy, there are magical aspects that play a role in shaping the characters’ personalities. Their talents, which range from fighting skills to control of the elements, affect each specialist and fairy who attends Alfea. The powers they possess impact the kind of person they are, and some are more likable than others.

10 Riven

Riven is a fan-favorite character, but as far as how he acts in the world of the show, he’s not a likable person. He’s intense, closed-off, and bullies anyone who comes into contact with him. Viewers are able to get a deeper glimpse into River than his peers are, but the cold front he puts up isn’t winning him any friends. Riven spends most of his time with Beatrix, which ends up making him even less approachable.

9 Dowling

Many viewers were confused by Headmistress Dowling and still don’t understand how she fits into the grand scheme of things. On one hand, she acted like someone who cared about Bloom and wanted to help her learn to control her powers. On the other, she played a part in the mass murder of the people of Aster Dell. Dowling never came off as someone who was genuinely compassionate, so her being a villain doesn’t seem too far-fetched.

8 Beatrix

Beatrix is another character whose motives are questionable. At the beginning of the first season, Beatrix was painted as the villain. As time went on, there were a couple of instances that implied the opposite.

Because Beatrix is so good at manipulating people, it’s hard to tell whether she’s actually heartbroken over what happened in Aster Dell, or if she’s faking her grief to get Bloom on her side. Either way, Beatrix is a complex individual.

7 Stella

Stella is the complete opposite of her cartoon counterpart. While her Winx Club version was fun and loveable, this Stella is stuck up and cynical. They do both have a flair for style, but that’s about as far as their comparison goes. Although Bloom is nothing but nice to her, Stella doesn’t give her the time of day. If she is talking to her, it’s usually not for a good reason. Stella does have some underlying emotional problems, which explains some of her behavior, but it’s not an excuse for the way she treats the people around her.

6 Aisha

Aisha isn’t a bad person, but she is judgemental. Her desire to follow the rules also led to her telling on others, and she had no loyalty to her friends. Aisha wasn’t very interested in what Bloom was going through, despite the fact that Bloom just came to a new, magical, world that she had no idea existed. She does care about her roommates, but she’s not the most reliable. If Aisha doesn’t approve of what one of them is doing, she’ll go out of her way to put a stop to it.

5 Terra

Terra has a lot of great traits. She’s kind, but she also demands respect from people. Terra stands up to the bullies at Alfea and makes them regret ever messing with her in the first place. However, she has a tendency to take things too far.

Terra uses her powers on people who are rude to her and is surprisingly hungry for vengeance. There’s also a difference between showing concern for a friend, and butting in their personal life. On several occasions, Terra does the latter.

4 Silva

Silva cares deeply about all the specialists. He treats Sky like his own son and prioritizes his safety over his own. When Silva was infected by a burned one, he forbad Sky from going after it, even though he would die if it wasn’t caught and killed. He’s not perfect, which is made clear when he asks Sky to spy on Bloom. However, he never appears to have bad intentions. The secret he kept buried about killing Sky’s dad was eventually revealed, but it was clear he had no choice in the matter. Silva did the right thing, but he still took on the burden of guilt every day.

3 Sky

There’s nothing unlikable about Sky, even if he is a bit bland at times. He’s the golden boy and a little too perfect, but that just makes him more charming to the other characters. He’s an incredible and talented specialist, which is similar to his character in the animated series. Sky always wants to do the right thing, even if it includes putting himself in harm’s way. He’s extremely rash, but his impulse decisions are usually out of a desire to help someone in trouble.

2 Bloom

Bloom is a fairly typical protagonist. She doesn’t do anything that makes Fate stand out from other fantasy series or deviate much from the norm. However, she’s also one of the few characters who isn’t either evil or downright rude to her friends. Bloom cares about everyone, and, despite not knowing what she’s doing, she’s not afraid to go searching for answers. She’s lively, fun, and her quest to find out where she came from is an important pillar of the plot.

1 Musa

Musa’s personality, backstory, and abilities easily make her the most likable character. She’s not over the top, but she is made up of layers that the series should dedicate time to unraveling. Musa feels the emotions of the people around her, which can make her either compassionate or desperate to feel nothing. Riven is clearly one of the most misunderstood characters in the show, yet Musa was able to get a glimpse at the real him in under a minute.
