Amalthea Orion, Fairy of Inner Self

Charmix Fairy Posts : 145 Age : 32

'Thea came to me in a dream, and I've been smitten with her ever since. So here's her bio XD

Name: Amalthea Orion

Hair color: Brown

Eyes: Violet (not realistic...but these are fairies. XD)

Power: Fairy of Innerself. This allows her to see people for how they really are. Every hope, dream and flaw is known to her. As her power grows she can see more clearly into a person. This makes it hard for her to make friends, or even like people when they don't have a front to hide behind. Due to this power she has a hard time winning arguments as she can see things from the other person's perspective and logic, and often gives up as she understands the other persons point of view.

Age: 22, in her third year at Alfea. (this is assuming it IS a college, and not a highschool)

Gender: Female

Height: 5'2

Weight: 125

Home Planet: Solaria

Bonded Pixie: Enoch, (aspiring) Pixie of Time

Gender: Male

Before I continue I would like to note that I have not seen Pop Pixie. I don't know anything about it other than it exists, and can be considered to take place in an alternate universe to the Winx series. So I apologize if anything about Enoch is incorrect based on that.

Backstory: Amalthea ('Thea for short) lost her parents at a young age and was shuffled into the child care system. The older a child is, the harder it is to adopt them out as most parents want babies, or as close as they can get. At seven, Amalthea was already almost too old to be of interest. 'Thea's ability to understand people started before she lost her parents as just a small 'feeling' that she often doubted. As she was exposed to more and more of the unhappy children at the orphanage who had lost (or been torn away from) their parents she began to trust this feeling more.

People are horrible, especially people who have been hurt and don't understand why. Orphanages are breeding grounds for those feelings and exposed to them as she was 'Thea became withdrawn and untrusting of most. It's hard to trust someone when you can see that they only pity you, want something from you, or will drop you to save their own hides in an instant.

Despite all that, Amalthea could also see the good in people. Growing up in a home where reading was a favorite pastime, 'Thea spent many a day in the public library trying to understand what was happening to her. She knew she was a fairy, as her parents had been and their parents before, but most Fae children didn't display more than sparks before puberty. She even doubted this was part of her Fairy magic as there was no actual MAGIC going on. Just an unnerving sense of people's character that was never wrong.

Amalthea started with psychology books, but quickly discarded them as they were often wrong and skewed, written by people who had never experienced the ailments they were writing about. Philosophy was her next bet, and while considerably more helpful often conflicted from one book to the next. In the end it was texts on animal behavior that helped her the most. Being able to understand primal urge and order suddenly put all of the information she had been receiving into perspective. Emotions were complicated but at the root of them would always be found a basic need or some sort, whether physical, emotional or social.

Preferring to spend her time alone 'Thea had little else to do but read and study. She excelled in school with a constant 4.0, which honestly wasn't hard as long as she payed attention and did her homework. Few were aware of this feat however, as she preferred to sit in the back and only answered questions when called upon. It was hard enough to get away from people on a social planet like Solaria WITHOUT drawing unneeded attention to yourself.

Scholarships aplenty, Amalthea applied at Alfea when her high school career came to an end. She passed the entry exam with high scores, but even with all her scholarships couldn't quite afford tuition. Hating to turn away such a bright student Headmistress Fairigona offered Amalthea a deal. She could work as a housekeeper to make up the extra. She would be afforded and extra day to complete assignments to compensate for her work hours but If she ever got a failing grade that deal would have to be revised to something more manageable. If 'Thea failed an entire class at the end of the semester, just one, then she would have to leave Alfea.

'Thea readily agreed. She would be a fool to turn down any offer from the most prestigious Fairy school in all of Magix. Through her powers, which consisted of understanding people, Amalthea natural understood herself very well and achieved her Fairy form (which is called Charmix I think, and the rest until Enchantix were just powerups) quickly in the first year. 'Thea disliked entering her fairy form at first as the voices of the souls around her grew unbearably loud, though over time she learned how to manage them through meditation.

Having some credits already from taking advanced classes in high school, Amalthea decided to take an extra elective: Non magical Self Defense. Few fairies take this class as they think their magic is superior, and they're right. When you can use magic that is. As we've seen throughout the series there have been many instances where something has blocked the Winx's magic and they become powerless.

The easiest example of the Martial art 'Thea is learning (yes, even into her third year. This stuff takes YEARS AND YEARS to learn properly) would be Chi-blocking. The compression (poking) of pressure points to seal off magical pathways and, in real life, cease functioning or stimulate parts of the body and organs. Acupuncture is a medicinal form of "Chi-blocking" (Shoalin Kung-fu I think properly) using needles.

Moving on, Mid first year she goes for a walk in the surrounding forest and meets her bonded Pixie, Enoch. Enoch is a prankster and trouble maker, out going and sociable. This makes things all the harder for him as the other Pixies reject and scold him often. The other Pixies never took him serious due to his joking and pranking, so one day Enoch decided to prove himself by mastering one of the Great Staves (Pretty much every powerful Pixie seems to have a staff like object of some sort. Lockette, the head Pixie....that other one who I can't quite remember what was for...)

Shockingly, The Staff of Time responded to him. Solid gold winged around a clock face, this staff traditionally belongs to the current Pixie of time. Said pixie had died shortly before Enoch's birth. Due to his dark thoughts and emotions about then until then light scorn he received from the other Pixies, dark crystals grew on the staff. Seeing this, the other Pixies accused him of stealing and corrupting the object and their treatment turned darker in turn. More crystals formed and eventually (on the day he met 'Thea) he was driven out of the village.

Pixies and Fairies bond on sight, and thus it was. Though many Pixies have homes in Pixie village, they often stay at Alfea with their new bonded so his presence was never really questioned.

Keeping with her studies, Amalthea maintained good grades throughout school and is now in here final year.

The rest of her story is cut out as it would not fit within the RP rule for this forum. Similarly, she never gets her Enchantix as that requires the selfless sacrifice of yourself to save someone from your (or on your) home planet, of which she never has the opportunity to do.

Hope that wasn't too long, or I left something out X_x
