I’m also going to rewrite this one but… let’s talk about it a bit.

I firmly believe that Saladin financially supported the specialists… Why do I think that? They found a place that was way too good before they even started working… with what money?

I mean, it had to be Saladin. How was he going to send them off with not a single coin in their pockets? Obviously not.

Also, if we look at the comics, when Helia decides to leave school, Saladin immediately offers him money. I don’t remember if he accepted it, but I know he offered. And besides, how was he going to send his only grandson off just like that… not like Sky’s father, who only found out later that Sky was on Earth basically pawning off Eraklyon’s royal treasure…

I also think Helia would report any issues with the apartment or work back to Saladin. Not in a complaining way, more like mission reports or even joking about their problems. I imagine they’re really close and talk at least once a day or every couple of days.

And I’m sure Helia talked a lot about Flora—about how worried he was, how he could notice when she wasn’t okay but didn’t want to overwhelm her…

Another theory about Season 4, since that’s the topic: I think they all had separate bedrooms, but only two bathrooms. So the real problem was at night if everyone wanted to use the bathroom at the same time. Mornings were only chaotic if one of the girls stayed over—especially Stella—because they’d take over the bathroom and annoy everyone. Though none of the guys complained… their girlfriends do the same, so it was better to stay quiet.

Another thing I noticed about Florelia in Season 4 is that I do think their relationship became more intense during their time on Earth—much more intimate.

For example, in the scene where the girls go to the park to teach Roxy how to be a fairy, and they stop by the bar first—how Roxy had to pull Flora away from Helia, and how her was touching his lips… fangirl screaming, I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.

Then later, when the animals spill the smoothies, and Florelia is cutting and squeezing lemons—Flora gets some in her eye, Helia gets worried, but she tricks him and splashes a bit on him…

THAT WAS SO ADORABLE.

It felt like they had grown into a deeper level of trust, unlike Season 3 (in my imagination), where they were still in that “honeymoon phase” but didn’t yet have the confidence to make playful or mischievous jokes. There was still that hesitation, that fear of being annoying or somehow ruining things.

But by Season 4, it was all trust—except when it came to Flora talking about her powers (I’ll get into that in another section or chapter).

By then, they trusted each other enough to speak up when something bothered them, or to call each other out over small things that in the past they might have thought were annoying. They also slept together—not just for comfort, but simply because they’d go on dates and end up staying over at each other’s place (headcanon of season 3).

Not very often, though, so they wouldn’t bother the others. But honestly, Helia would have moved in with her on Earth if he could—he just didn’t say it because he knew Flora wouldn’t want to leave her friends in the middle of a mission.

In summary, Season 4—as I’ve said a million times—had so much potential. It was one of the best seasons to explore the lives of adult fairies, with real responsibilities as guardians.

I would have loved to see each of them briefly return to their realms to handle unfinished business. For example, the princesses dealing with paperwork, making decisions for their kingdoms, or simply being reminded by their parents that they are heirs to the throne and need to begin (or continue) their preparation.

Or maybe not even physically return, but at least mention it—like having to check on something, or receiving a call from their parents. Being on a mission doesn’t erase their responsibilities in the Magic Dimension.

But anyway… it was the last season with a strong plot before they did what we all know they did… and well…

I’m just going to say it: Flora’s personality in Season 7 changed because that was the point in her life where she was supposed to have her first child… and then Nickelodeon interfered.

No, I don’t have proof.

Yes, I’m still right.

Seasons 1–5 Flora? Shy, gentle, endlessly supportive.

Seasons 6–7 Flora? Less timid, more assertive, and suddenly capable of putting her foot down.

And Season 7 specifically? She was strict with Amarok.

That’s all the evidence I need.

Flora is absolutely the strict parent.

Helia is like “he’s just expressing himself,” meanwhile Flora is already three seconds away from banning the magical wolf from the house.

And don’t try to tell me “that’s just how she is,” because Season 1 Flora supported her vain plant while it caused chaos in Stella’s room.

So yes, her personality changed. Growth, development, life, etc.

Anyway.

Helia is 100% the “go ask your mother” parent.

And Flora is the “no, that’s dangerous” / “just because your friends did it doesn’t mean you should” parent.

I have no proof, but I have no doubts.

Postdata 1: Since I'm already here talking about parenting, let me recommend a chapter of Florelia as parents. It's part of my story "Cozy Moments."

A while ago, a Florelia community was created 💚

You can join here: The Florelia Club

If you love Flora and Helia, this is a space where we can share headcanons, theories, edits, and especially our favorite fics.

You’re more than welcome to:

🌸 Share your favorite Florelia fics

🌸 Recommend chapters from other ships’ fics that are Florelia-centered

🌸 Talk about your own stories or ideas

A quiet little place to appreciate them, to talk about them, and to keep their story alive in our own way 🌿

You’re always welcome here ✨

Day 1 is First Meeting.

The reason is that I just really love the idea of exploring all the possible ways they could have met.

What if Helia hadn’t returned to Red Fountain that year—would they have still found each other? How? What if they were university students instead? Or if they met later in life, as adults?

There are a million different universes we can create, each one with its own path, its own timing, its own version of them.

That’s why I want to build this as a small tradition: keeping September 8th as the start of the event, and beginning each year by writing—or reading—a new version of how their paths first cross.

A thousand ways, all leading to one destiny ☺️💝

Do you remember Season 2, Episode 8, when Chatta kept telling Flora to look at the boys and stop talking about plants… and how Stella had all those boys flirting with her?

Well, I’ve always believed Flora was getting flirted with too—she just didn’t notice it at first. In her first year, she was so focused on doing well that she didn’t pay attention. And in her second year, when she was actually open to dating… that’s when she falls for Helia, and suddenly there are less boys around her.

Why? No, it’s not because Specialists magically “respect” that a fairy has a boyfriend (look at Stella and Brandon S2…). It’s because they were intimidated once they found out Flora was dating the best Specialist of their year and the grandson of Saladino.

And I mean… this isn’t Brandon, a simple page. Helia, in my canon—and honestly in many people’s—is almost royalty. At minimum, he’s nobility. He comes from a direct line of one of the most powerful mage in the Magic Dimension, part of the Company of Light, and headmaster of the best military academy in the Magic Dimension.

So yes. Helia is basically a prince. No debate.

So let’s continue.

Even if Flora was on many Specialists’ radar, they all backed off the moment they realized she chose him.

Another theory I have is that Flora actually had a rough time in the first months of their relationship. There were probably a lot of rumors about her interest in Helia. Isn’t it a little suspicious that the girl who never looked at anyone suddenly ends up dating none other than Saladino’s grandson?

To some people, especially the more malicious ones, that could easily look like “interest” or strategy. And honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if some Specialists started rumors just because their ego was hurt. If the story had focused on Flora, I’m sure they would’ve written her surrounded by boys flirting with her—but our distracted, slightly delusional fairy, just… didn’t notice.

And not just Specialists. Fairies too.

Are we really supposed to believe a man like Helia was walking around Alfea in his uniform and not getting attention from half the school? I don’t buy it. Helia definitely had a fan club.

He’s basically everything many fairies would want: handsome, kind, strong, rich… and well connected. More than one girl must have tried something with him—but unfortunately for them, Flora is in Alfea, and the man of my dreams only has eyes for her.

So yes, I also believe some fairies spread rumors out of spite once they realized Flora “won” one of the most desired men in Magix.

Anyway… I truly believe this couple went through a lot more than we ever saw in Season 3, and those missing moments could’ve added so much depth to their story.

Florelia Week 2026 🌸💚

Calendar & prompts for this year ✨

🌸🌸Florelia Week 2026🌸🌸

Florelia Week is back!!!!!

Here's all the info.

At the beginning of 2025, I realized that we don´t have a running Florelia Week and I consider this as a disrespect for this wonderful couple so, here I am, for second occasion, trying to bring more love for them, so...

Florelia Week is the event when I, hoping to be we, celebrate the ship Flora/Helia from Winx Club on Tumblr, AO3, Wattpad and Instagram (Not a lot of things there honestly)!

Why during September?

Easy, Flora and Helia first met, in the cartoon, during the new Red Fontain inauguration, after the scholar year starts. So, checking the Italian school calendar, school starts September 1st. If we assume the first 7 chapters happened in the first week, we have the perfect date: ¡September 08!, which is a reference to the 8th chapter, when their story starts!

Having this clear, The Florelia week will be hosted during a week, of course, starts on September 08 and ends on September 14, every year, no matter if Sep 08 is Monday or not.

Want to join me?

I will be the happiest person if others want to join Florelia Week, so the thematic is similar to other fan weeks; you can create a fanfic, a fanart, an edit, whatever you want to celebrate the beauty of this couple.

just use the tag “florelia week”, “floreliaweek” or "floreliaweek2026" Also you can tag me: @floreliaweek or @natureflowers10. I will reblog all the stories to the Florelia Week 2026 blog to have all of them together.

and I created a collection in AO3 just for the occasion, so feel free to add your work there: FloreliaWeek2026

Also I decided to add all my stories to Wattpad: Natureflowers01

What are the prompts?

Day 1: First Meeting, Tuesday 08

Day 2: Jealousy, Wednesday 09

Day 3: Dates, Thursday 10

Day 4: Healing Touch, Friday 11

Day 5: Love delusion, Saturday 12

Day 6: Grumpy x sunshine, Sunday 13
