Last year, I stumbled across this 30-day challenge on a Winx fan's tumblr, and decided to take it. All this month, I'm reposting my thoughts... (with 2015 updates where applicable)

Day 1: Favorite Winx


Tecna, of course. Reasons:

1. Main reason is that I've been a computer enthusiast for most of my life (I graduated from computer engineering, and currently work in software development), so the idea of a smart fairy who's into computers tickled my fancy.
2. It also helped that her original fairy outfit stood out amongst the others icon_smile.gif
3. Also, many things have changed, but some things have remained the same: she's kept her hair short, and she's still the only Winx girl who's into computers.

So what is the 30 day challenge?

Is it just to make a Winx post each day?

Day 2: Favorite Trix


Darcy. Smart, sneaky, snarky, cool illusion powers, looks great in eyeglasses. Even tricked Riven into working with them for a spell, I might add (huh, "spell"...)

Day 3: Favorite Specialist/Main Cast Male

Timmy. Also loves computers, also looks great in glasses, plus he's the Specialists' resident strategist. As Brandon would say, "When Timmy's got ideas, the Specialists listen." He's especially great when working with Tecna (more on that another day), and he's a pretty decent guy all around.

Day 4: Favorite Secondary Character

My current fave in this category is Eldora. She's a kindly old fairy godmother, who comes across as a somewhat funnier version of Faragonda, bringing good comic relief. 6x14 also shows her holding her own during the battle on Tir na Nog. Pretty cool huh?
Before season 6 though, it probably would have been a toss-up between Mirta, with her switch from witch to fairy, and Tressa, with her redemption arc from season 3 into season 5, going from being a coward to fighting for Andros alongside the Winx.
(2015 update: Considering the episodes in the latter stretch of season 6, though, Eldora's schtick kind of got tired towards the end there icon_confused.gif)

Day 5: Favorite Background Character

Toss-up between Ortensia (glasses and muffin hat) and Francis (jester look), though an honorable mention goes to a certain fairy from the S6 Egypt arc. You'd think she was a shout-out to a certain fan icon_wink.gif

Day 6: Favorite Villain

No surprises here... The Trix. They've been there practically since day one, they've always posed the biggest threat to the Magical Dimension, and so far, season 6 is the best (worst?) they've been in years, especially since they're the ones getting lackeys this time around icon_smile.gif

Day 7: Favorite Fairy Form


For me it's a toss-up between the traditional elegance of Enchantix, and the modern style of Believix. Enchantix has that elegant look going for it (with a little touch of modern-ness), and we got some nice individual character moments out of the girls' sacrifices.
Meanwhile, Believix had a more modern practical look for S4's Earth setting (I understand that that's why some people don't like it all that much), along with its own touch of elegance. Kind of a complement to Enchantix, if you will...

Slightly off topic, but Enxhantix is a transformation that just works SO much better in 3D.

Day 9: Favorite Non-Transformed Outfit



Lots of outfits to choose from, but I have a soft spot for Tecna's S1 and S2 casuals. For non-regular outfits, I'm going with Stella's cowboy outfit from Miss Magix .

Day 10: Favorite Professor/Headmaster

I'm going with Faragonda. Besides being knowledgeable about magical history, she's a kind and caring headmistress (well, most of the time anyway), the kind that most people would consider themselves lucky to have.

Day 11: Favorite School

It's going to be one of the big three, since we haven't seen much of the other schools, so I'm going with Alfea, with its elegant look, pleasant atmosphere, and nice and friendly students

Day 12: Favorite Pixie


Digit made the perfect foil for Tecna, with her love of computers and video games, plus her power to play inside Tecna's computer was pretty nifty icon_smile.gif Ever since she was replaced with Cara in S6, it just hasn't been the same :-\ Zing and her various random costumes puts her firmly in 2nd.

Day 13: Favorite Selkie

Not too crazy about the Selkies, but I pick Lithia (the Zenith one). "Turn back or be deleted!" That's more individuality than most of the other bonded Selkies got :-\

Day 14: Favorite Animal

I'm not too particularly fond of the Love & Pet pets from S4, and most of the pixie pets didn't really make much of an impression on me (except for the frog and the hippocampus), so I go with Kiko. Cute, faithful to Bloom, and great for comic relief.

(2015 update: But maybe Tecna's squirrel thing from season 7 will rival Kiko for the top spot...)

Day 15: Favorite Realm

Well, given that most of my favorite characters are the techno-minded ones, it only makes sense for my favorite realm to be Zenith. It was the last of the girls' home realms to be visited, and in my opinion, it was worth the wait. I mean, technology and magic? Sign me up icon_smile.gif

Day 16: Favorite Season


The second one. Let's see, it has Layla, the pixies and Darkar, it made my favorite couple more respected by the fandom (we'll get to that in a few posts), and even the filler eps were mostly great (especially the concert). My ranking for the seasons: 2, 1, 6, 4, 5, 3.

Day 17: Favorite Power



On the witches' side, Icy's Ice Dragon (1x20). That thing forced the RF boys to evacuate over to Alfea and eventually replace their school altogether. Was kinda hoping that it'd play a role in the final battle in S1 (or at least the Nick remake of it) icon_confused.gif
On the fairies' side, Tecna's Magnetic Storm (from the first movie's opening battle), with honorable mentions going to the Sirenix kicking spells, and Tecna's Techno Punch (5x21).
