History Series / FateTheWinxSaga

** Musa is deeply affected by her mother's death in both the series and cartoon, but in the series it's much worse because Musa actually felt her mother's emotions as she was dying and become traumatized as a result. Also, her mother's death happens much more recently in the series, so the grief is still fresh.

** The Specialists train dragons in the cartoons, but not in the series. Their phantoblades are replaced with conventional weapons and they no longer use hoverboards to get around.

When Sky learns the truth years later, he feels utterly betrayed and it tears a gaping rift in his relationship with Silva. Later subverted when it's revealed that Andreas was secretly alive then entire time and had raised Beatrix, who was orphaned when Aster Dell was destroyed. Much of Sky's arc is season 2 is about him coming to terms with Silva lying to him and Andreas faking his death]].

* AscendedMeme: Flora smoking weed is a running meme, partially based on her sounding like a hippie in the 4kids dub of the original cartoon, as well as a joke on her plant-related powers. Here, her cousin Terra explicitly makes weed brownies for a party.

** In the 4kids dub of the cartoon, Faragonda comments that the fairies will go on to "fight evil, grant wishes, or are princesses that will take over their realms."

The series focuses on a young fire [[OurFairiesAreDifferent fairy]] named Bloom (Abigail Cowen), who travels from California to the Otherworld to enroll in Alfea, a prestigious boarding school where wingless fairies learn to master their powers – and where trainee warriors, known as "specialists", guard the realm from the feared "Burned Ones". It is all new to Bloom, but she has guidance from Alfea's imperious headteacher, Farah Dowling (Eve Best), and her four roommates: the tenacious water fairy Aisha (Precious Mustapha); the grounded and chatty earth fairy Terra Harvey (Eliot Salt); the mind fairy Musa (Elisha Applebaum), an empath who keeps her headphones on to block out other people's emotions; and Stella (Hannah van der Westhuysen), a snooty light fairy who also happens to be fairy royalty.

** Riven nicknames Beatrix 'Trix' at one point as a nod to the Trix characters she's a composite of.

* NecessaryEvil: [[spoiler:Rosalind argues to Bloom that wiping out the people of Aster Dell was necessary because they were blood witches and Bloom accepts her explanation at face value despite previously calling the destruction of Aster Dell a war crime. Later when Dowling and Silva learn this, they quickly agree that Rosalind was right to want them all dead]].
