Netflix has been putting out a lot of new content over the last year with the increased demand for original streaming series and movies. One of the latest in Netflix's original shows is the fantasy series Fate: The Winx Saga. The magical characters in the series are so vastly different from one another, from power sets to personality, that it seems like there wouldn't be common ground among them.

There is one thing most of the characters have in common though: they largely only think about themselves. This leads to a lot of selfish actions on the part of the main characters. It also allows them to grow from these actions and realize their mistakes, for the most part. There are a few characters who would repeat their worst actions again and again.

Updated on October 3rd, 2022 by Amanda Bruce: If fans thought the bad actions ended in the first season of Fate: The Winx Saga, they were wrong. New characters introduced in Season 2 of the series certainly made a lot of the same mistakes the characters did in the first season: putting their own interests first and not listening to others around them. The result is that a lot of those new characters have a “worst” action born from their own selfishness.

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Season 2 of Fate: The Winx Saga.

Rosalind: Torturing Students

Rosalind in Fate The Winx Saga Season 1

Arguably, Rosalind has likely done even worse than torture her students. The trouble is that the audience is mostly told of Rosalind’s transgressions, and much of what they are told is speculation by the people who dislike her. The audience only really gets to see Rosalind through the eyes of Bloom and Beatrix as the people who become closest to her.

What the audience actually does see her do that are inarguably bad deeds are kill Farah Dowling and torture some of her students for information. Killing Farah Dowling is something that Rosalind sees as part of her own war on behalf of the fairy world, but torturing her students is just something she can do because she can. It’s not clear what exactly she does to Riven, because he doesn’t remember it, and Beatrix leaves the room, so the audience can’t see it, but it clearly leaves a mark. Beyond that, Rosalind allows the rumors about her to grow around school, leaving the students in mortal fear of her for much of the school year.

Flora: Not Listening To Terra

Flora is a great addition to Season 2. She continues the show’s trend of adapting characters from the original animated series, but with a more mature twist. This Flora, however, is Terra’s cousin, and is not one who wants to listen to Terra’s advice.

Flora is as impulsive as Bloom is when she’s first introduced. The difference is that Terra already knows this about her, and repeatedly warns her to think things through. While it’s not a big deal that Flora continues to be friends with Riven despite Terra not wanting her to, Flora’s insistence on creating a compound and giving it to an incapacitated student without an antidote for what is essentially poison, is one time when she should listen to Terra. Ignoring the warnings of someone who has experienced the dangers of impulsivity with situations they don’t understand could cost people their lives.

Dane: Maintaining A Relationship With Riven And Beatrix

Dane is a bit impulsive when it comes to his feelings for others. He wants to be happy and feel loved, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately for Dane, he thinks he can find that in a relationship with Beatrix and Riven without actually listening to what the others in the relationship are saying to him.

Riven, for example, repeatedly tells Dane that he’s not actually interested in Dane, that Dane is just part of the package deal when it comes to Beatrix. He makes that very clear. Dane ignores him though and continues to call Riven his boyfriend, makes advances toward him, and even tries to make him jealous after the relationship falls apart. Dane never truly gets what he wants out of the relationship, but allows Riven and Beatrix to use him to their advantage, and that’s very unfair to him.

Aisha: Betraying Her Friends

Aisha is actually one of the most solid characters in the series who isn't often motivated by selfish desires. She looks out for everyone and at her own expense. This Winx character's fairy power of water manipulation even allows her to save Bloom's life not long after meeting her, so it's hard to decide on the "worst" action for her.

Within the context of the show, Aisha revealing her friends' plans to the headmistress is probably the worst action she takes. That's only because it drives a wedge among the group. What Aisha does is actually incredibly brave and thoughtful as her friends aren't capable enough to protect themselves against the magical threats coming their way.

Stella: Using Negative Emotions For Fuel

Stella and her powers in episode 5 of Fate: The Winx Saga

The early episodes of The Winx Saga frame Stella as the school's mean girl. She's biting with her comments, emotionally detached from her roommates, and has a need to be the most important person in the room. At least, that's what she wants everyone to think. That image is driven by her mother's manipulation and her own use of negative emotions to fuel her powers.

It's the latter that is the worst thing she does in the show. Her clinging to negative emotions keeps her mean-spirited and even causes Stella to injure her best friend before the events of the series. She thinks holding on to these negative traits will increase her power. When Stella tries to cling to the negative emotions to use her powers, however, it makes them unstable. The same is true when she teaches Bloom to tap into her fire magic. It causes Bloom to lack control when it really counts against a Burned One.

Sky: Spying On Bloom

Sky talks with Bloom in Fate The Winx Saga

Sky is the perennial nice guy. Like Aisha, he just wants what's best for everyone. He might tease Riven once in a while, but he never completely turns his back on his friend, despite Riven acting like a completely different person after he meets Beatrix.

Sky's one big misstep is trying to be the security force that his mentor asks him to be. He's tasked with spying on Bloom and reporting back to the teachers because they're so worried about her stepping out of line. The trouble is, this kind of action is exactly what keeps Bloom stepping out of line.

Silva: "Killing" Sky's Father

Silva instructs the specialists while sparring with Sky in Fate The Winx Saga

Silva is the one responsible for training new generations of specialists. They might not have fairy magic on their side, but they are lethal with their weapons. Silva also, however, is responsible for raising Sky after the latter's father dies on a mission.

The trouble is Silva never tells Sky that he's partly responsible for his father's death. That might not have been an easy conversation to have with a child, but Sky not knowing the truth opens up a whole can of worms when Beatrix starts spreading misinformation (through Bloom) about what really happened. Silva carries a lot of guilt and projects it onto a kid who then strives to be the perfect soldier all the time.

Grey: Lying To Aisha

A closeup of Grey in The Winx Saga Season 2

Grey seems like a nice guy, even if he does irritate Aisha at first when he decides to swim in the same river as she does. As it turns out, however, Grey spends most of the time he’s getting to know Aisha and her friends lying to them.

Grey knows that blood witches are behind the events at Alfea, like students disappearing and fairies losing their magic. He knows because he is a blood witch, and he’s one of Sebastian’s insiders. While Grey might not actually do any bad things to others, and ultimately, he saves Sky’s life, lying to Aisha from the moment they meet means that she might never fully trust him again.

Sebastian: Betraying Everyone

Sebastian talking to Bloom in The Winx Saga Season 2

The story is told that Sebastian trained as a specialist at Alfea, but didn’t ultimately make the cut. He also really hated Sky’s father growing up. But that’s not the full story.

While he maintains a friendship with Silva as they age, he’s also secretly spent decades planning for the blood witches to get revenge on fairies. Sebastian betrays everyone to maintain his seat of power among the blood witches and hold onto the fairy magic of others. Not only does he betray Silva, he goes to him for help when he’s on the run, but he betrays Bloom and her friends who go to him to understand some magical history. He betrays the greater fairy world as well, whom he’s been living among.

Musa: Shutting Her Roommates Out

Musa And Sam embrace In Fate The Winx Saga

Whereas the Musa of the animated Winx series is a fairy of music, the live-action version of the character has power involving the mind. She can sense the emotions of others, and that can sometimes be overwhelming for her. As a result, she shuts out those around her so that she doesn't have to deal with the emotions.

While that decision is understandable, it also makes things more difficult between Musa and her roommates. She and Terra, for example, get off on the wrong foot because Terra thinks Musa is simply being rude to her.

Terra: Not Standing Up For Herself

Terra manipulates a plant in The Winx Saga

Terra has power over earth as a fairy, more specifically, plants, making her very different from elemental powers used in other series like Avatar: The Last Airbender. In fact, her power over plants might be one of the strongest out of her roommates, but she only uses them when she's pushed to extremes.

That's because Terra often positions herself to be less important, deferring to those around her for direction, which is a shame. Not long after introducing herself to her new roommates, Terra shrinks into the background under Stella's presence, not wanting to make waves, even when Stella makes fun of her clothes. When she stands up for herself and when she's confident in her own actions, like during the big season-ending battle as she gives directions to others, Terra is great. In Terra's case, the worst thing she does is aimed at herself.

Riven: Turning On Terra

One of the more interesting reveals of the season is that the year before the events of the show, Riven and Terra were good friends. When he felt like an outsider, it was Terra who befriended him.

Riven makes a drastic turn when he comes back to school, treating Terra like garbage and finding solace in his outsider status with Beatrice. He even encourages Terra's new friend Dane to do the same. While siding with Beatrix, in the end, is arguably worse, it's Riven's decision to alienate Terra that leads to him becoming obsessed with Beatrix at all.

Beatrix: Killing People

Beatrix locked in her cell in Fate The Winx Saga

Of all the characters in the series, Beatrix might have the most obvious bad deeds as the central antagonist. She manipulates those around her, intentionally ostracizes people, and, of course, she plans to let Rosalind loose.

Beatrix's bad behavior is fueled by being raised with Rosalind's ideas filling her head. A lot of it can be excused by her essentially being coerced into being a villain. Rosalind's plans have been responsible for manipulating Rosalind the girl's entire life. She's doing what she believes to be the right thing. Of course, the one truly inexcusable thing she does in the series is commit murder. When Beatrix kills the headmistress's assistant, it doesn't phase her one bit. It's likely not the first time she's taken someone's life.

Farah: Turning Her Back On Rosalind

Farah Dowling talks with Bloom in Fate The Winx Saga

Farah Dowling makes a lot of mistakes during her time as headmistress. She keeps secrets from her students and doesn't allow Bloom to find answers to her own family history. Those are things she does for the greater good, so they can be excused. Her worst deed, however, concerns her former mentor Rosalind.

Farah has kept Rosalind prisoner in a kind of magical field for over a decade. During that time, Rosalind is at least peripherally aware of what's going on because she's able to get Bloom to come to her. Farah knows that Rosalind has made some disastrous - and murderous - decisions in the past. Yet, when the two finally talk face to face (and alone), Farah turns her back on the other woman to walk away. She turns her back on a powerful fairy with a grudge who isn't afraid to kill people, severely underestimating the situation. It costs Farah her life and puts Rosalind in a powerful position for The Winx Saga's second season.

Bloom: Freeing Evil-Doers

Bloom does a lot of bad things over the course of the first season. Most of those bad things are motivated by her desire to learn the truth about her past. A lot of those bad things also lead up to the worst thing she does in the entire season: Bloom is responsible for freeing both Beatrix and Rosalind from confinement.

Bloom doesn't seem to care that either fairy is responsible for killing other people. She doesn't take into account the big picture, that letting both of them loose on the world is dangerous. All Bloom is consumed with is finding her own answers, no matter what the cost. Setting them free changes the power structure at the school significantly.
