Ooh, here's a good one... Day 18: Favorite Couple (Canon)![](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a77/Rover_Wow/30DaysOfWinx/Day18-TimTec.jpg) Timmy/Tecna. I remember when most of the fandom didn't like this pairing simply because it was the obvious one to make. I never had any issues with that, though... Besides, look at how their relationship has evolved. Timmy's redemption arc in season 2 is a big reason why I imagine the fandom has become more accepting of this pairing, and he was the only person who still believed Tec to be alive midway through season 3 ![icon_smile.gif](style_emoticons/default/icon_smile.gif) They also work great together whenever the Specialists and the Winx go on missions ![icon_smile.gif](style_emoticons/default/icon_smile.gif) Also, since Timmy's redemption arc, they've been more or less drama-free. For example, Season 5 saw them going out on a date, and Timmy was perfectly understanding of Tecna having to bail to save her fellow Winx. It's one of those little things that makes them a great couple. Quite frankly, I can't imagine either of them being paired off with anyone else (2015 update: And their season 6 episode continued their solid relationship as well )

Day 21: Least Favorite Winx![](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a77/Rover_Wow/30DaysOfWinx/Day21-Stella.jpg) Now we reach the ones that are a bit hard to write about, because I genuinely do like most of the characters. Likewise, I don't really have a least favorite Winx, but if I had to choose, I would say Stella. Now, this isn't meant as a slam against the Fairy of the Shining Sun. She's quite funny, she cares a lot about her family and friends (and Brandon!), and her passion for fashion (I know, wrong doll line ![icon_wink.gif](style_emoticons/default/icon_wink.gif) ) is nothing to scoff at. The problem is, she can have a really problematic attitude sometimes, such as when she refused to make nice with Chimera early on in season 3 (seen here), or tried to force a relationship on Aisha. Thankfully, the writers seem to have toned down her attitude in the latest season, and she's a better character for it

Day 24: Least Favorite Secondary Character![](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a77/Rover_Wow/screens/3x19/3x19-CassChimHOTUd.jpg) ![](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a77/Rover_Wow/30DaysOfWinx/Day24-Selkies.jpg) My pick is Chimera and Cassandra, but not so much the characters themselves as how they were treated by the writers. Cassandra got off on the wrong foot from the get-go by talking about how much she doesn't like Stella, absolutely ensuring that Stella would have no problems about crashing her wedding later on. The fact that Cassandra perpetuates the whole "step-parents are evil" trope is just the cherry on top ![icon_confused.gif](style_emoticons/default/icon_confused.gif) Meanwhile, after her impressive debut, quite a few fans were hoping to see Chimera be turned good, after all, it looked like she was behaving this way mostly because of her mom and Valtor, right? (Plus Stella's attitude, as mentioned on Day 21) Instead, she ends up being dispatched (pretty anticlimactically at that) as part of the aforementioned wedding crash. Kinda like the season as a whole, really... (And on top of that, we never even got to visit her school ![icon_confused.gif](style_emoticons/default/icon_confused.gif) ) There's probably an AU out there that treats them properly, and part of me wonders if Selina is an attempt to do a Chimera-like character right... Also, I'm not particularly fond of the idea of the Selkies as a whole either. They're like the pixies crossed with the Bubble Guppies, minus almost any trace of individuality ![icon_confused.gif](style_emoticons/default/icon_confused.gif) Plus, they displaced the pixies for a whole season without any real in-story explanation, so there's that...

Day 27: Least Favorite Couple (Canon)![](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a77/Rover_Wow/30DaysOfWinx/Day27-MusaRiven.jpg) Easily Musa/Riven. They're one of the show's two consistent and reliable sources of relationship drama, but whereas Bloom/Sky drama tends to come from just Diaspro, Musa/Riven have plenty of trust issues, and both have had moments where one of them thought the other was cheating on him/her (Darcy, Nabu, Jason, that guitar lady) And as mentioned a few days ago, Riven's also kind of a bad boy, so there's also that... (2015 update: Well, good riddance )

Day 29: I wish they would...![](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a77/Rover_Wow/30DaysOfWinx/Day29-Wishes.jpg) Until season 5, my wishes probably would have included visiting Zenith, and giving Tecna another focus episode. No matter what people will think about the Nick era in the long run, I will always have these to be grateful to Nick for. These days, I still have three wishes (HEH.): * Dolls: Give Tecna and Musa their fair share of representation. It's been a problem since the Mattel days, and it continues to persist in the Jakks era. I mean, you don't see Hasbro making fewer (say) Applejack and Fluttershy dolls, so why should there be fewer Tecna/Musa dolls? :-\ * Better writing: More specifically, balancing the target audience and the older fanbase, better follow-through on interesting ideas (one of the biggest problems with season 3, such as with Mirta here), and just being more intelligent overall. * In relation to Day 28: I really wish Nick US (or whoever) would actively promote and air the show, rather than letting it languish in reruns (or worse) for several months on end. I mean, 4Kids at least kept airing reruns during those gaps in S3... (2015 update: These wishes are still more or less relevant today...)And just like that, tomorrow is the conclusion to the 30 day challenge, and I've got something really special prepared...
