- “It takes a strong heart to cry, but it takes a stronger heart to say why.”
- ―Musa
Musa is the other main protagonists in Nickelodeon's Winx Club franchise. She is the fairy of music, She also 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.
Overview[]
Musa is the Fairy of Music from the planet Melody. She has blue-black hair that is worn in short pigtails in the first two seasons and in a longer hairstyle thereafter. Her powers involve manipulating sound waves and music. She loves music and dance, and can be pessimistic at times. She is the most outspoken and sensible of the group. Musa goes through multiple breakups with her boyfriend Riven, including one in season six[1] that carries over through the seventh season, before the two got back together in the eighth season. Musa's Italian voice actress is Gemma Donati[2] and her Hollywood voice actress is Romi Dames.[3]
Appearances[]
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.
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 appearence 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 seperate paths, yet without animosity towards each other. She can, however, be judgemental and have pre-concieved notions about people regarding their past, which can make her pretty distrusting, as demonstarted by her attitude towards Riven in season 8.
Trivia[]
- According to Iginio Straffi, creator of the Winx Club series and franchise, Musa's appearance was modeled on the actress Lucy Liu.
- Musa has Gemini for her zodiac sign. She shares this with Aisha, and, in the 4Kids dub, Tecna.
- Musa is one of the four Fairies that has not traveled to her own realm to receive their Enchantix, though she earned it by saving the Princess of her own realm, Galatea, who was then a freshman student at Alfea at the time.
- In the planning stages, Musa originally had short green hair and wielded a flute. She appears to have slightly bigger eyes in her original drawings. Comparing type planning stages and the current drawing of Musa, she has changed the most.
- Musa's address is 10 Rock Street, as seen in the book "English with Winx".
- Musa has had the most hair changes in the whole series. First, her scrapped prototype design, then she had short black pigtails, then she had them lengthened, then, she removes the pigtails altogether, wearing her hair like Bloom, Stella, Flora, and Aisha. Then, she wears her hair in pigtails again in Season 6 and finally goes back to wearing her hair down in Season 7.
- Currently, the only seasons in which Musa does not sing are the first and third ones.
