My rewrite fairy forms

(Repost from my Reddit )

Base fairy form (magic winx): the first form every fairy has access to it’s gained through

Extremely high emotions or dire situations

When a fairy’s magic is at an all time high.

Charmix: the second fairy “form” and it’s really a stepping stone to gaining enchantix

And it’s gained by overcoming a fear that’s can be looked at as weakness it really is a strange form as it has a short time span

Only lasting about 3 hours tops before disappearing

Flameix(name still in the works):

The weird mix of blooms charmix and enchantix that allows her to call upon

Enchantix level power but the duration and

Energy of charmix with the added pressure of it potentially backfiring on her

Enchantix: the final fairy form

A fairy has to truly please the universe by putting themselves in (most of the time) mortal danger to save someone or a group of people it boost the fairy’s magical energy

And allows access to fairy dust techniques

Believix( probably the most reworked next to butterflix) :

Believix is an variation of a fairy’s enchantix

Form that is gained though a spell that was unfinished in the book of faerie’s that the winx ended up “finishing” while trying to fend of the wizards of the circle with Roxy’s

New found “belief”in them and it’s based of the Belief of others

Faithix: with out giving to much info

It’s the spel in ref book of faeries done right and is based on peoples faith of others

Aquatix (harmonix )

An variation of enchantix given to the winx by the book of faeries because half of their powers are basically useless underwater

It gives them the ability to breathe and swim faster to complete the sirenix quest

Sirenix:

The transformation used to enter& safeguard the infante ocean and its power

Each fairy gets a sirenix spell and a mermaid form to swim faster and let out kinetic attacks

Igniteix (Bloomix )

I haven’t gotten to writing this one out completely yet but it’s a power born from the dragons flame

Morphix (butterflix)

A form gained after fairy’s bond and trust magical animals gaining the power to basically fuse with them funney thing is aisha actually wanted to calll this form

Morphix while it’s widely known as faunix and

Fairly common

And lastly crisix

Said to be the first fairy transformation ever to exist not much is known on how it’s gained or who holds it other than the first Fairy

And that’s it for the main fairy transformations that we see in my rewrite enjoy !

[emsartwork]

loving your au! MInd if i ask, would the girls have used different transformations in the beginning of season 8, someone would be like "hey why dont we use Draconix or Enchantix, they'd seem really effective in fighting something that's clearly not animal nor fauna-relate-" Bloom: "MAGIC WINX FAUNIX!" and would the girls use Enchantix for entering the ball miniworld thingy later on in S8?

Yeah they probably would have used a different transformation, but the star yummies (ugh that name gag me) are resistant to magic and ARE covered in fur so I guess I could see Bloom jumping to conclusions lol. The ball miniworld(and all miniworlds) are non-existant in my au lol, the star compass is earned…. some other way idk (I’m still figuring out what I want to do with season 8 sry)

Cosmogyral: Prologue

-For those who can’t access AO3 ❤

(adj.) whirling around the universe.

Milky way, Year XXXX

All his life, Mark Fischbach dreamed of traversing the stars under the Galactic Alliance. The general peace had given rise to many systems banding together to survive in harmony, and Mark wanted to be part of that. A difference, he wanted to make a difference; he wanted to be a part of this peaceful era. 

With that dream in mind, and a fast tracked initiation into the Star Corps, he stands one atmosphere away from doing that. Being the youngest captain to control a vessel in the Corps should be a great honor...

But something doesn't seem right; his crew, disapproved from all sides, agrees.

The universe just got a whole lot darker. The objective, a tad clearer.

T he glass expanse overlooked the city of Los Angeles, with the midnight rush flying just beyond the protective barrier. Neon lights, glinting off the metallic skyline, cast a sheen into the office and beyond. A shadow moved, and its owner sighed, eyes darting to the paperwork on his desk; the words glared back at him through a pounding headache.

The floors below were probably still cleaning up the night’s festivities; something he ducked out of early to avoid the conversation. It was, however, a good christening , despite the obvious tensions in the room. Fucking Euro-Division; they could have avoided that tension easily.

A sharp sting made him groan in annoyance, wrinkled hands rising to rub under sandy curls; nails coagulating with the infused gel. It was something new, he called; some imported Faunix nonsense. The substance was sent flying out of their fingers soon after. He could deal with the smell for now; it was better than the headache.

For a moment, he wondered where the pain originated from, but the sheer possibilities stemmed back to one man. He rubbed his temples, muttering. “Hnng Rea, activate night mode, please.”

There was a short silence, before the metallic whirring behind him signaled the change in lighting. “Right away, Admiral Ellis.” The overhead lights dimmed to a more somber mood, and the whirring stopped with a small ding.

More silence.

“Are you satisfied with this alternation?” The sleek, artificial voice queried with a warm tone; it almost sounded concerned. “Would you like me to call for some medication, Admiral?”

“Send it in after I’ve had my meeting.” The ding of a registered request followed soon after, so he added. “Speaking of which...Has Captain Fischbach-”

“Captain Fischbach is currently in the South Wing.” The Interface Module responded immediately, ignoring the slight delay in their charge’s words. “His estimated time of arrival is 7 minutes and thirty six seconds.”

There was a pause. “Admiral?”

The groan that followed held enough emotion for a dignified response. “Actually, send the medication now.” The shuffling papers held the instant punctuation. His eyes flickered past the various reports; the names were already memorized, and the level of compatibility assessed. If there was one thing he knew, then it would be the names displayed. “It’s going to be a long conversation.”

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy...Well,not exactly, but the eminem reference was appreciated. His stride was confident, and his arms were swinging loosely with each step, so he only had his face to think about.

Nice try, Slim Shady.

Mark Fischbach tucked that thought away for another mental conversation, ignoring the questioning glances he got as he passed. They didn’t need to know where the smile originated from, anyway. Besides, it wasn’t the first time the recently promoted Captain held such an expression; they should be used to it by now.

However, Mark knew he was nervous. He hadn’t been nervous the day he joined the Corps, despite many cadets dropping out a week into the program. He’d curbed his anxiety through each exam session with a reassuring smile and extensive work. Hell, he’d psyched himself for weeks before he accepted the promotion offer.

Why the hell was he biting his tongue? “...What if they made a mistake?” The whisper came out involuntarily. If only he had someone to empty his fears onto before he entered the room. In fact, the missing presence of Tim didn’t help the situation at all; Mark practically had that droid by his side in everything he did. “I don’t know...Nevermind.” Nervous as all hell, that's for sure.

Admiral Ellis never called anyone in for meetings these days, considering there were mere hours before the christening of a new starship. Considering the small factoid that he was the new captain of the ship, the meeting was nervewrecking. The door loomed ahead, Starcorp insignia etched into the metal.

Mark knocked. “You may proceed, Captain Fischbach.” Mark jumped. “...My apologies. I am REA: Admiral Ellis’ new Assistance Module.”

The captain furrowed his brow in confusion, “I thought there was another AI-”

“Due to unforeseen infiltration, the module was terminated.” The door slid open, and the voice dinged once more. “Admiral Ellis is expecting you; don’t keep him waiting.” The module clicked off.

“Come on in Mark.”

“Evening, Sir.” Mark cleared his throat as he stepped into the office, registering the door closing behind him; his hands, going to his sides, kept the respectful stance. “You wanted to see me?”

The Admiral seemed to watch him for a few moments, eyes darting to the papers on the table, before the sides of his mouth curled. The nervousness left his body with that very expression. “...At ease, Captain. Please, take a seat.” Mark fulfilled the request with a strained smile. “I just wanted to discuss some things my favourite student before you hit the road tomorrow...You can breathe now.”

“I’m...breathing.”

Mark's exhale of relief- and a rather amusing mutter - caused a booming laugh to echo through the room. “That’s better! Can’t have you dying before you even breach this solar system.” The Admiral's laugh dissolved into a fond chuckle. “Can we?”

“Well...That would suck ass.” Mark offered a small smile. “Tyler would kick me back to life.”

“I am sure Lieutenant Scheid would do just that. He is in charge of your crew’s security, after all.” The tone was suggestive, which brought a more sombre tone to the conversation.

Mark ignored it for a moment, testing the waters. "He could just use a defibrillator as well. Shocking, I know"

The Admiral watched the smile dissipate. “Doctor Bisognin would patch you right up, though I'm sure one of the others could have done it just as well...”

Silence.

Mark frowned, leaning forward in his seat; his elbows, grazing the table, retracted. “What are you trying to say? Are we really here for this?” The exasperated tone reverberated through the room, hanging heavily by its epicentre. “...I choose my crew. You approved it.”

The admiral sighed. “Mark...You know your choices have caused a 'ruckus' among the Corps. You haven’t even made an approved choice on your science officer, let alone your helmsman, and now your inner circle is a mismatched group of-”

"Sir."

"-A metaphorical bomb bound to explode. It makes no sense!"

“Admiral...I just want to know why we’re still on about this.” The response held an edge to it, Mark’s frown  was increasing. “Ethan is fully capable of directing the ship until we reach the outpost, then we can sign on our missing bridge members. Just because they’re not exactly what was decided-”

“I’m on about this because you’re not taking the sheer chaos you may cause!” The retort took Mark by surprise. The captain leaned away from the table, while the lecture continued. “First Officer McLoughlin, Lieutenant Nestor....Kjellburg. I understand your inclusion of Doctor Bisognin-”

“Commander Kjellburg.”

More silence.

"Don’t you dare…”

“With all due respect, Sir,” Mark's words, dripping with disapproval, left his lips. “Felix has a title.”

“I refuse to call him anything of the sort.” Mark got up at those words, turning towards the door. The action was immediately followed by a chair screeching. “Fischbach, sit down. Fischbach! Violating the orders of an admiral-”

“I have to get ready for launch, Sir. We leave in less than eight hours.” With each word, Mark’s anger grew and his patience waned, but his stride remained the same. “My crew needs me.”

“Your crew...Mark please. You need to listen to the voice of reason. You can't surround yourself with a crew like that; we can-”

The patience left with a whirl of his body. “The voice of reason, huh?” Mark’s smile held no humor, “The same voice that got me to join the Academy? Or perhaps the voice that managed to impress the Corps into being the youngest captain in their history?” He shook his head, hands running through black hair. Only a few weeks ago, it had been a scarlet hue. “I know my friends, and I trust them with all of my very being. The fact that-”

“Mark, please...Come sit down.”

Silence.

Mark inhaled, closing his eyes. “Look, Sir, I know I’m making very risky decisions, but they feel right. They feel justified! It’s not the easiest route, nor is it the accepted route, but it’s a route I’m willing to take. They’re my crew, and I am their captain. You can’t expect me to change myself to suit others; we’re going to do great things together, and I want it to go my way; for the Alliance, for everyone...”

The silence that followed was bloated, uncomfortable. Disappointed.

"For the Alliance, huh?"

He waited for more words, for any hint of disapproval. The words he’d heard from almost every higher up since his promotion, and the sneers he’d heard once the crew-list was announced. Some were encouraging, while most were pure amusement, but the intent was clear. This was never going to slide; they were waiting for a bigger mistake. Mark’s thoughts, whirling together, almost blocked the sound of the door opening with a curt farewell from REA. He opened his eyes in shock, but stepped through with slight reluctance. Could he really leave this relationship on such an estranged note? “Sir?”

“You’re right...I’ve tried my best.” The sigh was filled with pity, and Mark had to turn around to view the resigned face through the door, staring down at the papers. “You have no idea what you have brought upon yourself, Captain. Are you sure you are willing to destroy everything...and possibly everyone...you love?”

“I-” Mark was cut off by the chuckle that followed, and a final shuffle of papers.

“Don’t answer.” Admiral Ellis, holding up a hand, shook his head, looking away from the door. “You don’t owe me the answer...Godspeed.”

The door closed with a click.

"So you're saying that he called you over...just to tell you to kick most of us out?"

"Exactly."

Weaving through the city skyline, the standard issue hovercar thrummed happily; the auto-pilot system held no qualms to being this overworked. Mark, sitting in one of two seats, regarded the suited being with a neutral gaze. The being in question picked at a set of scarlet scales under his collar. The main species on Solax had many human-like characteristics, but the hardened scales must be itchy in earth's varied environment. There was no use in using contacts to hide the eyes either, but Mark had gotten used to the warm gaze. "Well, at least you can confirm that he's a little shady, huh? At least he hosts good parties; is it me, or do all potential villains host good parties?"

Mark caught the grin before he groaned. "Let's not call him a villain just yet, Wade. He's just doing his job...There must be a reason he's like that." Eyes darting away from the scales to rest on the nearest hologram, Mark continued. "Besides...You're as shady as he is right now, Mr I just hacked into Corps property to help my smuggling friend."

The Sol gasped, rolling his eyes. "When you say it like that...It almost makes me feel bad." The two shared a smirk. "Besides, I don't even know who you're bringing aboard. The only thing Bob told me was that they're part of the main team...Why can't I know?"

"...It's complicated." Mark sighed, shaking his head slightly. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell anyone, but rather a necessity to make sure everything worked out.  That was one of the reasons he let Bob in on the plan, for one, which helped ease the situation ever-so-slightly; it also allowed for a quicker recruiting of Wade. All he had to do was dupe the Corps.

Easier said than done.

The hovercar shuddered slightly, swaying with the sudden change in course as the base coding was overridden. Wade, holding onto a railing as the sudden jolt, gave a sheepish smile. "It was a very sudden job..."

Mark laughed, and settled in for the ride.

It didn't take that long; the pickup location was just a few moments from the city centre, yet far enough to divert suspicion. If the plan worked, they'd be in and up in ten minutes; it was virtually full-proof.

Mark just hoped that Professor Nelson held true to her word.

Professor Amy Nelson- real name unknown -had the missing Kalustrian princess with her, after all.

They had met by chance; Mark had been running some errands when he spotted the two trying to hail one of the many taxis in the area. Despite the rain, the kalustrians didn't seem to have an umbrella on them, so he presumed they were tourists. Out of the good will of his heart, Mark had offered them a ride to wherever they were going.

That was the most interesting- and shocking- four hours of his life.

(Which included waffles, but that was besides the point)

"Y-you're actually her? P-Princess Kathyrn..."

"Well...I guess so. It's not a big deal."

"Big deal?! Kalustra is literally hunting you down!"

"...And?"

The hovercar docked.

"Aand we're here." Wade, proclaiming the obvious, finally let go of the railing. With a quick look at his friend, the Sol went to check the hovercar controls. "Go do whatever shady things you need to do."

"Well thanks, Wade." The swish of the door opening caught Mark's attention, opening to the entrance to n apartment block. The brick faced exterior and small front garden were too familiar to forget; he'd spent many an afternoon conversing inside the walls. If someone had told him those starry eyed, dream-like propositions would have come to fruition, he would have laughed.

But they were doing this, so backing out now was futile.

Mark took a deep breath, and stepped out of the vehicle. "Ten minutes. We'll be back."

So I’ll need a part 3 of the Bloom redesigns and again feel free to ask questions.

[emsartwork]

Faunix!!! aka My version of Butterflix!!! Each girl is based on her fairy animal instead of cookies cutter circle skirt dresses. I tried to make the poses more interesting but i feel like i’ve used all of these before lol

lore and stuff below~

so Faunix is earned when an Enchantix+ fairy bonds with a fairy animal (not randomly defending an animal???) So season 7 in my version would progress a little slower transformation wise. 

Headmistress Mavilla instituted Faunix to be used as the graduation transformation at Alfea, but after the issues with Kalshara she established the Alfea Natural Park along with Faragonda. The Park was a Public secret for a while, being known about but not open to the public. Faragonda established park rangers and interns and decided to open the park so people could learn about the fairy animals. 

So Faunix is a weird transformation, and there was a long heated debate among the council of Nymphs about whether or not it should be considered a “real” transformation or not. Usually any transformation that is triggered by an outside force isn’t considered a real fairy transformation. But eventually Faunix was accepted though it isn’t typically used as its only real power/benefit is allowing the fairy to interact with and manipulate wild magic with out adverse effects. Battle stats wise, Bloomix and Enchantix beat it by a long shot. The wings are fairly simple for a higher transformation, and unusually large for a transformation with out a lot of “traditional” power. Because the wings are so prominent, the transformation is sometimes also called Butterflix but that name has fallen out of fashion.  

Faunix often features a body suit with layers. Fur and scales are also common. The silhouette mimics the fairy’s fairy animal, it is often fitted at the torso, short in the front, and has a longer portion in the back. The fairy’s own colors are replaced by those of their fairy animal. The fairy’s transformation also gains the same bio-luminescence/glow that their fairy animal has, though its not as bright. 

and I put ALL OF THEM IN PANTS BECAUSE I COULD. 

[emsartwork]

Fairy animals!!! info below

Fairy animals aren’t naturally born, they’re formed when a natural animal is exposed to large quantities of wild magic. While animals change individually, a lot of them evolve in similar and categorical ways (ex: large fluffy dogs will look similar to amarok, horse/deer types will have similar characteristics to Elas, etc). Fairy animals are characterized by bio-luminescence, a longer life span, low level magic abilities and human-esq consciousness. both fairies and witches can form bonds with them, though witches rarely use them as transformation sources. Bonded fairy animals have access to their person’s magical abilities and vice-versa. During Head mistress Mavilla’s time at Alfea fairy animals were used as a stepping stone for fairies who had earned their enchantix, earning Faunix(my name for butterflix) right after enchantix as part of the curriculum. One of Faragonda’s first act as head mistress was to establish the Alfea natural park and start collecting fairy animals from their home planets as their wild magic mutations could cause harmful imbalances to themselves, other animals, and their environment. 

Flitter: Techuirrel’s are caused by zenith squirriels/chip monks etc. interacting with zeniths core. Zenith’s early stage as a planet was very unstable, the core regularly had to discharge extra magical energy, which is why the techuirrels were so important. Flitter can’t actually fly, but can generate small lifts of hot air to glide on and electrical “jumps” from metal to metal. He can also repair small objects using electricity and his claws as a soldering tool. Flitter is female in my version (the english dub has a dude voice and he/him pronouns but the Italian version is a lady squirrel apparently) 

Shiny: Shinygreeds are a common result of large birds(not birds of prey, peacock, turkey, and chicken types) with wildmagic. The neck and tail feathers are frequently elongated after exposure, with a bright color coming in around the neck. Shinygreeds are attracted to shiny objects and often eat metal and jewels, they produce light or flame and have some healing magic. My version of Shiny is male, because in bird species the male is usually brighter and more colorful than the female so it seemed to fit.  

Critty: Quillcats natural animal source are small wildcats (the socttish wildcat, caracals, and bobcat types), their markings and fur length can vary but quills or barbs are common. The quills are actually poisonous and result in localized numbness in large creatures and paralysis in smaller animals. Petting a Quillcat is semi dangerous, but as long as you go in the right direction and don’t piss the cat off you should be fine. probably. Critty is female, and doesn’t let any one besides Musa touch her. Once Riven returns she likes to mess with him though. 

Squonk: Cry-crys originate from frogs and salamander type animals. toads result in a similar looking animal but with no water affiliation. They are almost always cool colors, but their tail length and fin shape can vary. Cry-crys are naturally shy and sensitive, they have a natural camouflage technique where they can dissolve their body into tears(not actually, its more like a slime and its very durable), but they can also store water in their fins and shoot it out. Squonk is male, he’s easily startled by the other fairy animals, but does get along with aisha’s pixie piff. 

Elas: base animals are deer and horse type animals. Elas actually a Qilin, but qilin and unicorns are kind of on a spectrum, and elas is like in the middle of it. if the fairy animal is more horse like, has one smooth horn, deals with poison magic, and is highly aggressive with any one they don’t know, its on the unicorn side. If the fairy animal is more deer like, has scales, has two branched horns, deals with fire magic, and is docile its on the qilin side. 

Amarok: Magiwolves are one of the few fairy animal species that don’t have to be relocated to alfea natural park as they fit perfectly into the Lynphean ecosystem. They can hunt alone, but tend to form small packs of 3 to 5 wolves. magiwolves are typically non-violent towards humans, and will even protect lost children or injured people in the forest. They stem from large dog types animals (wolves, coyotes, dingos etc) and gain a mane and flowy tail, usually with an extra color from their environment. Magiwolves have low levels of magic for a fairy animal, but have magically enhanced stamina, strength, and senses.  

Here are the size comparisons with the girls!!

MAJOR VILLIANSSSSSS, part 1 of 2, brafilus and kalshara, Acheron and Selina, and Tritanus.  The wizards, valtor, and darkar are coming up next.

i made a lot of changes lol sry if this aint ur cup of tea

looooooots of re-writing below the cut

Kalshara was originally the fairy of animals, but she grew obsessed with wild magic, and experimented with ways to obtain it. She acheived Faunix(Butterflix) but it wasn’t enough and she eventually started experimenting with wild magic on living beings. She started with animals, and then moved onto her family, including her parents and brother, after being sure that Brafilius wasn’t going to die from the wild magic injected into him, Kalshara turned herself into something not quite human. She has much more power than Brafilius and didn’t loose any of her mental acuity either. She’s the same age as Faragonda

Brafilius is much younger than Kalshara, who had already achieved Enchantix by the time he was born. He’s in between Griselda and The Winx’s ages. Their parents died as a result of Kalshara’s experiments, but Brafilius survived. He doesn’t really embrace the wild magic, and is ashamed of his animal attributes, wearing clothing that covers as much as possible. He isn’t exactly a willing partner with Kalshara, as she’s pretty abusive towards him, but he doesn’t have anywhere else to go and has developed an unhealthy dependence on his sister. His obtaining the “ultimate power” wasn’t really a willing choice either, but he tried to use it to get away from Kalshara who read it as a betrayal. After Kalshara dies I like to think he starts to recover and becomes friend with Roxy and Flora especially, who are eventually able to reverse some of the wild magic’s effects on him.

Acheron is a wizard, and stores his magic in the legendarium. He was active at the same time as the wizards, but they looked at him like “uh ok u got a book. good 4 u. gotta go rip fairy wings off bye.” and left him to his own devices since they didn;t see him as a threat. He originally only stored his own spells in the legendarium, but started to collect and imprison living creatures inside the pocket dimension of the legendarium, binding their lives and will to his own blood.(so basically he didn’t create a portal to another world he took the real world and captured it: Rumpelstiltskin, Frankenstein etc. were all real figures). The Seven Ancestral Fairies had escaped the Wizards and were outside Tir Nan Og, and realized they had to deal Acheron before he eventually captured all the magical creatures left and overpowered the wizards. In order to avoid getting trapped in the legendarium themselves, they removed their powers from themselves and manifested them into wands. Even with the seven of them, they barely managed to subdue the legendarium creatures and trap Acheron within his own book. Six of the fairies lost their lives, and Eldora lost her legs in the battle. 

Similar to Brafilius and Kalshara, Selina and Archeron do not have an equal relationship. Selina is actually a descendant of Acheron, which is why she has strong magic on a magic-less earth and was able to pass through Eldora’s shields and into the field of flowers with Bloom. Eldora could plainly sense Selina’s magic, but she couldn’t figure out how to unlock Bloom’s magic which is why she took Selina on as a student but not Bloom. Selina isn’t the witch of snakes (wtf the rainbow) but instead is the witch of ink. Acheron convinces her to help him because of their blood relation. Selina is also very shy and struggles with self worth, so the power of the legendarium, besides calling to her blood, was very attractive. Bloom was actually the one who stopped being friends with her, in stupid childhood fashion, she was drawn to Mitzy’s strong personality and turned on Selina in favor of popularity. Selina retaliated by embracing her outcast status. Bloom eventually realized Mitzy was a bitch and left that whole social circle(which is why she has barely any friends at the beginning of season 1). Selina bears no real ill will towards Bloom, and wants to be friends again. 

Tritanus is a the younger twin brother, something that follows and irks him for his entire life. He is extremely resentful that Nereus has always been the brighter twin, more talented, more loved, more prepared to rule. The “choice” between crowning Tritanus or Nereus was a choice in name only, Nereus was selected basically from birth. His ability to absorb magic is standard of male magic users, but the sudden release of magic on earth(season4) has infused everything with way more power than it should have, basically making it magically radioactive. The pollution is channeled through his body, making him a sorcerer instead of a wizard. His ability is the first of it’s kind and would never had been invented with out the perfect situation. True merfolk have very long tails and mulitple fins(as opposed to sirenix fairies, who only mimic the merfolk form.) Male merfolk have a single fin on their back and female have two.

Hello! Sorry if this question has already been asked, but would it be okay to use your elementix (Phoenix, Harpix, etc.) and faunix transformations as inspiration?I really like the idea of four elements branching out after harmonix, but I'm not sure if using same/similar names but different designs and saying they were all inspired by your work would be considered stealing ideas? Sorry for bothering and thank you for your amazing winx redesign work

hmmm, so it would kind of depend on how your using them? like if you want to to design your fairy in my faunix or the elementix go ahead!(credit me and then tag me so i can see!!!) If you want to make another version of the four element branch that are different from mine are you can totally do that! the elements are a pretty common base for magic systems so i def don’t own that lol, and you wouldn’t have to credit me as inspiration unless you want to, but i would love to be tagged so i can see!!!!! the only thing is that i’d ask you to use different names for your transformations if possible lol.

Introducing: Faunix

“The Land of Legend”

➵(Notable Beings: Signe (Half-Breed))

Faunix is a moon that orbits Kalustra and, antagonistic to its name, is full of alien flora. Plants dominate the space in a variety of greens, while their rainbow of flowers and bulbs light up the night sky with ethereal light. Despite the intense vegetation, Faunix is rather dry and cool; with rain being an odd occurrence. Somehow, the greenery stays despite the weather.

Their inhabitants are -incorrectly- considered a subspecies of the Kalustrians, but they, however, are from another planet that colonized that moon. The Nixes are humanoid, but produce a prickly skin that resembles cacti when threatened. Their hair somehow gains this prickly feature when threatened as well, but normally they are as smooth as their skin. Two horns curl in various styles near their ears. 

Nixes are peaceful and calm, but are rather protective of their planet and nature itself. Some legends state that they communicate with the universe, and are enlightened beyond the likes of the intelligent Svels, but their quiet and neutral smugness make them impossible to fool. They do, however, engage slightly in the relationships of the Alliance, but stick to the newer members for some reason.

Sveluva states that it's due to their innocence, or something else entirely.
