[edit] Personality profile
Her mother died when she was very young, and Musa really misses her. She loves her dad, but they don't always get along so well since, despite his good heart, he's a work-a-holic and a perfectionist. Also, although her mother had an amazing voice and her dad was a pianist, after her mother's death, her dad refused music, and even once threatened to expel Musa for appearing at a concert at Red Fountain. Her birthday is May 30th. Musa was 16 years old at the beginning of the series.
She loves music, dancing, singing and playing all instruments, but her favorite is the concert flute. Musa usually plays amazing music, but plays best when she is alone, by herself in Alfea in a quiet spot. Musa likes songs that have powerful meanings and words in them.
Despite being the most tomboyish of the Winx Club along with Tecna, she is perhaps the most emotionally vulnerable. Musa compensates by putting up a tough front. Her emotional weakness is probably a result from her mother's early death, and father being far away.
She is also a bit of a loner and has a crush on Riven but they both don't admit they like each other until the end of season one.
Surprisingly (considering Tecna), Musa gets the best grades of the group, as mentioned in the 15th episode of the first season (in both versions).
[edit] Appearance
Civilian
Musa has blackish blue pigtailed hair, deep blue eyes and milky white skin. Her daily outfit consists of a red one shoulder top, one purple colored armband that alternates being placed either upon her right (usual) or left arm, baggy jeans that sag so you cansee her pink underwear, and red sneakers. She has recently been seen wearing other various types of clothing, but this one in particular is the outfit she seems to favor wearing most.
Her other outfit is a turquoise shirt with a red belt over teal pants, which include teal wrist to elbow sleeves and aqua sneakers.
- Seasons 1 & 2:
In the first two seasons, Musa wore her hair as short pigtails (as shown above), even saying (in the second season of the 4Kids version) "I'm not going to change my pigtails. They were all the rage at Wizardpalooza." However, she got her hair spelled in the 3rd season premiere and now has long pigtails.
- Season 3:
In the first episode of the third season, Musa submits to a make-over and changed her appearance. The length of her hair had increased to reach her waist and sideburns had grown to appear longer and fuller.
Winx
Her Winx outfit is a sparkling magenta top with translucent pink fabric at the middle, a magenta mini skirt, and knee-high magenta boots. She also wears purple headphones atop her head and purple ribbons around her fore-arms (the one on her left arm has loose ends hanging from it). Her wings are bright blue. Her Charmix is a treble clef pin and CD-player shaped waist bag.§
Enchantix
Her Enchantix outfit is primarily magenta, with tangerine-yellow frilly-like trimming, pink, translucent above-the-elbow gloves and light yellow, ample square wings with bejeweled speckles of purple. Unlike the other Winx girls, her hairstyle does not change (as it had always been in pigtails prior to this transformation), although does grow in length a few more inches. She has also discarded her magenta boots and dons strappy, barefoot sandals connected by oval buttons, and wears a thistle colored tiara upon her head.
She earned her Enchantix after saving Princess Galatea from a fire the Trix had started in the Alfea library, in the 10th episode of season 3.
[edit] Magical abilities
Musa is from Melody, the planet of music.[3] Musa's power source comes from music. She has all kinds of musical attacks.
Firstly, Musa jumps around on a disco floor, and the crosses her hands above her head. There is a white flash and Musa's boots and main outfit materialize as cyan and Red disco squares rush up her body. Another flash and Musa's accessories have appeared, except for the ribbon on her left arm, which ties itself on as she spins on a giant CD.
Musa's powers are connected not just with music but the actual power of soundwaves and sonic pressure. Musa has "sonar ears". Musa can manipulate other elements by creating sonic booms which rumble and crash. She can also create sonic vibes and pulses which charge through the air like energy blasts. She usually uses attacks that are disco themed and can create disco-ball force-fields, distracting musical blasts, and virtual speakers which enclose around an enemy and comatise them through incredibly loud bass music.
