Musa

**Musa** is from Melody and currently acts as its Guardian Fairy. 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 of the Alfea College for Fairies.

## 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 Club, 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 being far away. She is also a bit of a loner and had a crush on Riven, but they do not admit they like each other until the end of season two when they had their first kiss, which then starts dating. In season three, Musa admits that she wanted to break up with Riven, but they later reconcile. Musa then takes a break from Riven in season four and shows some feelings for Jason Queen, a music producer, but then is asked to sing at his wedding and reconciles again with Riven. Musa is angry again at Riven in season five because she thinks he is cheating on her, but again reconciles with him at the end when he reveals what he has prepared for her. In season six, Musa is sad because Riven does not seem to care about her anymore and agrees with him at the end that it may be for the best they break up because it is clear that they are not meant to be.

## Magical Abilities

Musa, as the Fairy of Music, has music-based powers. Musa's powers are connected not just with music but the actual power of sound waves and sonic pressure. Musa can manipulate things by creating sonic booms which cause rumbling and crashes. She can also create sonic vibes and pulses which charge through the air like energy blasts. Musa is able to create sonic waves which hypnotize and block the line of sight. Musa can unleash disrupting sonic booms which can split the earth and crash in the air. She can create disco-ball force-fields, distracting musical blasts, and virtual speakers which enclose around an enemy and immobilize them through incredibly loud bass music. Musa can also create walls and barriers of the Grand Staff.

Musa is also able to release sound waves that can be used to calm others and even put them to sleep. Musa can release soundwaves to communicate with other civilians from Melody and communicate with other animals by singing. When Musa and Flora were fighting Valtor, he was able to weaken her with the power of silence meaning that she is weakened if there is no sound. Musa has developed the ability to control others (bodies) by dancing, generating a miniature earthquake by placing her hand on the ground and generating low-pressure soundwaves, and even imprisoning others in a soundfield.

Musa also knows some basic, first-level spells that all fairies can use, such as telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes.

Musa still maintains her status as the Fairy of Music and thus, retains her music and sound-oriented powers. She mainly uses her powers to create sound waves capable of either disorienting her opponents by damaging their eardrums or disrupting certain attacks and traps. She can also create barriers made from sound waves that can completely disrupt oncoming attacks and can expand these barriers to act as wide-scale attacks. She seems capable of imbuing sound amplifying properties to objects like she does to a broken microphone in the Season 2 episode "A Flower in the Snow" and, much like in earlier seasons of the main series, Musa possesses sensitive hearing.

This time around, Musa uses her powers in more strategic and practical ways than she does either offensively or defensively. She is capable of picking up on a person or creature's location by sending out sound waves like a radar in a similar way to echolocation and does so in many instances like when she needed to locate Annabelle and the Crocodile Man in the episodes "New Powers" and "The Fall of the Queen" respectively. By Season 2, this ability of hers is further amplified upon gaining Onyrix as her special Onyrix Power, Sound Harmony, allows her to hone in on a target's sounds so that she can effectively track them down. She can also keep a person's vocal imprint memorized in case she needs to track them down at a later time. She is also capable of recreating certain sounds to lure enemies out of hiding and this can be seen when she lures the Crocodile Man out by replicating the sound of footsteps in the episode "The Legend of the Crocodile Man."

Naturally, Musa's powers come with a weakness: dissonance or the lack of harmony. Her powers can be effectively nullified if she is pitted against a foe capable of creating stronger and more erratic sound waves as they would cancel out her own. If they are strong enough, they can also cause Musa physical harm, giving her a feeling that her head is being split apart.

Additionally, it is revealed in the first episode of Season 2 that the Winx's powers, Musa's included, are generated from dreams and thus, are closely linked with the World of Dreams. According to the Spirit of the World of Dreams, the Winx would lose their fairy magic should the World of Dreams fall into ruin.

## Trivia

* Musa's appearance was apparently inspired by the actress Lucy Liu, according to Iginio Straffi, the creator of Winx Club.
* Musa's name may come from the Italian word "musa" which means "muse" (inspiration), derived from the Muses of Greek Mythology.
	+ Musa is also the Arabic form of Moses, commonly used for a boy.
	+ Musa's name could also come from the short form of the word Musica, meaning "music", itself derived from the Greek word "*mousike*", meaning "Art of the Muses". (The Muses are nine goddesses of Greek Mythology who inspire the creation of literature and arts, and who were considered as being the source of the knowledge that is contained in poetic lyrics and myths).
	+ In the Welsh dub of Winx Club Musa's name was changed to *Martha*. This is because the name Musa sounded too much like the Welsh word *Mws* which means stalling or stinking.
* Musa is also the original title of a Chinese-South Korean movie called "The Warrior" in English.
	+ Musa is also the name of a river in Latvia.
	+ Musa is also the botanical gender of banana trees.
* Musa has Gemini for her zodiac sign. She shares this with Aisha, Roxy 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 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.
* Musa (except in the 4Kids dub), Flora, and Tecna are the only Winx Club members who are not princesses.
	+ However, in Winx on Ice: The Novel of the Show, when Bloom is encouraging her friends to continue to fight against the Trix and find Carolina, she says "we are princesses", implying that Tecna, Floraand Musa may somehow be related to royalty.
* In the earlier seasons she was shown to be tomboyish, but in the later seasons she is wearing skirts and has become softer, unlike her old tomboyish self.
* She is the only member of the Winx who did not use her Sirenix Wish in Season 5.
	+ It is unknown whether she is still able to use her Sirenix wish since she already earned her Bloomix in "The Golden Auditorium". Since she did not use it, it makes her the only Winx girl not to use her Sirenix wish.
	+ It is possible that she was able to make her wish but did not. After she saved the singing whales with her song, she returned to her father and said, "*I miss her [her mother] so much....I was thinking that maybe I could use my wish to bring her back to life, but I know that's not right.*"
* Musa's second Cinélume voice actress, Anik Matern, also provided the voice for her mother in Season 2.
	+ Both, Sarah McCullough and Anik Matern also voiced Stormy.
* She and Cherie are both voiced by Romi Dames in the Nickelodeon dub.
* She and Tecna are the only Winx girls who have their pixies changed in Season 6.
* Her eyes sometimes appear to be purple, but since her first appearance, they were mostly shown to be blue.
* She and Tecna are the only two that are best friends and share a room with each other.
* Musa shares her birthday with Iginio Straffi.
* Musa is the only Winx member who does not have any spoken Mythix spells in Season 6.
* Musa never entered the Legendarium World alone.
* Musa's hair in Sirenix and Bloomix have light blue highlights.
* She is the third Winx to turn evil as shown in "Secret of the Ruby Reef" when she was turned into a monster by Tritannus.
	+ The first one was Bloom as shown in Season 2.
	+ The second was Tecna as shown in "The Sirenix Book" when she was turned into a robot.
	+ The fourth was Stella as shown in "Queen for a Day".
* She is the only Winx member that has the least Bloomix spells, which are two: Crystal Voice and Infinite Echo.
	+ She is also the only member of the Winx Club who never uses a Mythix spell at all in Season 6. This makes her the only Winx girl whose only known Mythix spell, Sound Triad, is one exclusive to the comics, as she never got a chance to use any in the animated series.
* Like in Season 1, she again has blue colored wings in Season 7.
* Musa's 4Kids voice actress: Lisa Ortiz, voices Cherie and Chloe in DuArt dub.
* She shares her DuArt voice actress with Shiny.
* She is the only Winx member to lose her voice to an enemy (6x22).
	+ The loss of her voice might be a reference to Ariel of *The Little Mermaid* of the Disney franchise in 1989, since both are also musicians and lost their voice in the middle of the plot until they recover it some time later.
* Musa experiences the longest lasting comic-exclusive romances out of the Winx Club. She has also experienced the most romantic relationships within the comics in addition to her relationship with Riven.
	+ Her relationship with Mitril lasted for two to three issues (Issues 8 and 14 mostly) even though it never became more than having an attraction towards him.
	+ Her relationship with Brian only lasted for one issue (Issue 57) and the two developed a mutual romantic interest in each other despite the fact that Musa was still dating Riven at the time.
	+ Her relationship with Lukas also lasted the longest, up to three issues (Issues 79, 80 and 84), and it is implied that the two were dating.
* Musa also cycles through the most occupations amongst the Winx in the comics.
	+ Her first job is as an assistant to Miss Barbatea in the Alfea Libraries, which she gets in Issue 9.
	+ She later becomes the owner of Sifelius' pavilion in Issue 38 which she uses as a rehearsal station for young aspiring musicians to practice in for a specific amount of time.
	+ Once Sifelius is unable to prevent the area where the pavilion is located from being used as area for a new road, Musa is given ownership of a warehouse in the outskirts of Magix City in Issue 80 that she and the Winx turn into their personal clubhouse as well as another rehearsal station.
* Her secret dream is to sing in a theater with the musical compositions her mother wrote.
* Out of all Winx members, Musa is only Winx member to have the most Enchantix convergence spell or to be included in it.
* Musa is the only Winx in Sirenix form to not have a named “punch” spell released from her hand.
* As revealed in "The Alligator Man" and "Mermaids on Earth", Musa's weakness is dissonance.
* As mentioned in "Peter Pan's Son", Musa cannot sleep with the lights on.
