==Personality== |
||
| + | Despite his isolated childhood, Nabu is very social and friendly. He is upbeat, fun and enjoys life to its fullest. But he is also daring and intelligent, seeing as he ran away from home because he disapproved of the arranged marriage and even located [[Aisha]] and spied on her to know what she was like. |
||
| − | Nabu is a [[Wizard|wizard]] from [[Andros]]. He was from richest family of [[Andros]]. and had an isolated childhood similar to [[Aisha]]'s. Because he had no friends to play with, he spent most of his time learning battle tricks from his security guards. In addition, he has studied many different magic spells on Andros, thus his prodigious skills in spell-casting. |
||
| + | Nabu is a patient, kind, honest, understanding and rational person; he also does not get jealous. He shares these traits with [[Helia]] and both mediate between their friends who are having conflicts with their significant other, and especially [[Riven]], whose personality is the opposite. Unlike Helia however, he is not shy. His patience is demonstrated when the [[Winx (Group)|Winx]] (especially Aisha) and [[Specialists (Group)|Specialists]] were suspicious of him because he snunk onto their spaceship. He patiently waited for the group to trust him and did not push them to do so. Nabu is also very true to himself and sticks to his beliefs, which included marrying someone he loved. |
||
| − | When a marriage was arranged between him and [[Aisha]], he initially did not want to marry her and ran away from home. Later, he decided he wanted to find out what [[Aisha]] was really like, and so began to secretly keep an eye on the [[Winx]] girls for a while. He appeared as Ophir first, then told [[Aisha]] his real name at the end of the episode, [[Winx Club - Episode 323|The Wizard's Challenge]]. |
||
| + | He is capable in adapting to situations and is a quick and rational thinker. Shown when he quickly thought of an excuse when the girls caught him spying on them and when he easily removed the shackles (due to the group's suspicions) and protected Aisha from a winged centaur. Nabu's language of love is words of affirmation; he encouraged Riven to show his love for Musa through words. The complete opposite of Helia's. |
||
| − | ==Series== |
||
| − | ===Pre-Series=== |
||
| − | After clearing up some misunderstandings with Riven and showing him some battle moves, Riven inquired Nabu about these techniques. Nabu tells him that as a child, he had grown up on an island and there was no one his age and therefore lacked friends. For companionship he turned to the security guards there, spent time with them and learned all of their tricks. Though it was a time of loneliness which was similar to Aisha's childhood. |
||
| + | Nabu is also very selfless and caring, seeing as he had sacrificed his own life for the [[Earth Fairies]]. |

| − | [[File:3x21-LayOphFirstD.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Nabu's robes when he was first seen]] |
||
| − | Nabu is first mentioned at the end of [[Winx Club - Episode 309|Episode 9]], when [[Aisha]] sadly reports to her friends that her parents have set up an arranged marriage for her. Nabu first appears at the end of [[Winx Club - Episode 311|Episode 11]], where he finally finds Aisha. |
||
| + | In the comics, he is shown to be naive, as a result as his isolated childhood, as shown with his relationship with [[Helisia]] and how he is even engaged to her, despite already dating Aisha, much to her chagrin. |
||
| − | He later returns in [[Winx Club - Episode 318|Episode 18]], where he listens to a conversation between the Winx girls until [[Stella]] reveals his hiding spot. Later in the episode, he decides to offer the [[Winx]] his assistance in fighting [[Valtor]], who plans to steal a magical item at the museum. Nabu does not want to reveal who he really is, so he tells the Winx that his name is Ophir. The Winx let him come along on the mission, even though they are[[File:Nabu's parents.png|thumb|150px|Nabu's parents]] not sure if they can trust him. However, when Valtor threatens Aisha, Nabu gets in the way and is captured by Valtor. The Winx are forced to give Valtor the magic box he came to steal in order to save Nabu. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Later, when the Winx went to the [[Golden Kingdom]] to obtain the [[Water Stars]], Nabu was a stow away on their ship. Aisha discovered him, and since the group were not sure if they could trust him or not due to their previous encounter, they put shackles on him. During the mission, Nabu and Aisha get to know each other a little better. Nabu helped the Winx fight off the guards of the Red Tower, and was the only one who did not get knocked out. [[Riven]] showed up shortly afterwards, and he and Nabu get into a fight due to [[Riven]] misinterpreting the situation and mistakenly believing that Nabu was trying to steal [[Musa]] from him. [[Sky]] and [[Timmy]] break up the fight, and the misunderstanding is cleared up. When the [[Trix]] later attack the group while the Winx (except [[Bloom]]) are inside the Crystal Labyrinth, Nabu at one point easily defeats [[Darcy]]. |

||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | Nabu has demonstrated his range, versatility and power in magic. His true source of power was never stated, but has shown to affect all sorts of materials, objects and even people. He can disappear, create clones of himself, solidify materials such as plants, form defensive shields, manipulate and transform objects, strengthen a car engine and many more. |
||
| − | After having obtained the Water Stars, the Winx invited their boyfriends to a dance club and Aisha asked Nabu to come along. However, Nabu was forced to leave when his security guards showed up to bring him home. When he meets with Aisha again near the end of the episode, he explains the situation and finally reveals his true identity. He tells Aisha that he has fallen in love with her, and apologizes for lying to her. Aisha and Nabu meet each others' parents, who have realized that they should not have tried to make their kids follow a tradition that went against their wishes. However, they are also pleased that destiny brought them together anyway, but decide that a marriage can wait. The episode ends with the [[Winx]] welcoming Nabu into the club.[[File:NabuXLayla.jpeg|thumb|200px|Nabu and Aisha's First Kiss]] |

| + | Alongside his mystical abilities, he also knows self defense tricks which he learned from the security guards.

He is also shown to be proficient in espionage. |
||
| − | In [[Winx Club - Episode 325|Episode 25]], Nabu only has a short cameo appearance at the end. |
||
| + | Because he too can duplicate himself, Nabu can easily distinguish between clones and the real person. This was [[Winx Club - Episode 322|showcased]] when [[Darcy]] unleashed her duplicates to confuse him, Nabu followed suit and quickly deduced which one was real. |

While [[Tecna]], [[Stella]], [[Musa]], and [[Bloom]] are fighting the elements, Nabu, Aisha, Helia and [[Flora]] find the real [[Specialists]] locked up in a prison cell. After freeing the Specialists, Aisha and Flora go ahead to fight Valtor while Nabu and Helia stay behind with the Specialists, catching up with the others later. |

Kind of, but we have better style.
| |
|
|
Nabu was a wizard from a noble family on Andros who first appeared in "A Trap for Fairies". He was Aisha's love interest, and later fiancé.
Appearance
Nabu has a tan complexion, with very long, brown hair tied into a single braid and has deep blue eyes.
Civilian
In Season 3 and the beginning of Season 4, his clothing bears a close resemblance to traditional Chinese clothing but lacked the silky designs. He wears a purple turtle neck, elbow-length tunic that is decorated with yellow stripes. The tunic actually extends further down to the knee, outlined with thick, yellow lines and is split open on both sides. He has a thick red cloth tied onto his waist, purple sweats, and white shoes. This outfit also serves as his wizard outfit.
In Season 4, he wears a white shirt inside and a purple and dark blue shirt with buttons, beige pants and white sneakers. His hair is cut shorter (chest length) and is braided into two tails.
Seasons 3 and 4
Season 4
Personality
Despite his isolated childhood, Nabu is very social and friendly. He is upbeat, fun and enjoys life to its fullest. But he is also daring and intelligent, seeing as he ran away from home because he disapproved of the arranged marriage and even located Aisha and spied on her to know what she was like.
Nabu is a patient, kind, honest, understanding and rational person; he also does not get jealous. He shares these traits with Helia and both mediate between their friends who are having conflicts with their significant other, and especially Riven, whose personality is the opposite. Unlike Helia however, he is not shy. His patience is demonstrated when the Winx (especially Aisha) and Specialists were suspicious of him because he snunk onto their spaceship. He patiently waited for the group to trust him and did not push them to do so. Nabu is also very true to himself and sticks to his beliefs, which included marrying someone he loved.
He is capable in adapting to situations and is a quick and rational thinker. Shown when he quickly thought of an excuse when the girls caught him spying on them and when he easily removed the shackles (due to the group's suspicions) and protected Aisha from a winged centaur. Nabu's language of love is words of affirmation; he encouraged Riven to show his love for Musa through words. The complete opposite of Helia's.
Nabu is also very selfless and caring, seeing as he had sacrificed his own life for the Earth Fairies.
In the comics, he is shown to be naive, as a result as his isolated childhood, as shown with his relationship with Helisia and how he is even engaged to her, despite already dating Aisha, much to her chagrin.
Magical Abilities
Nabu, finding a way to heal Duman.
He is a wizard from Andros. His weapon of choice is a magic staff which seems to amplify or channel (or both) his magical power. His magic is purple in color.
Nabu has demonstrated his range, versatility and power in magic. His true source of power was never stated, but has shown to affect all sorts of materials, objects and even people. He can disappear, create clones of himself, solidify materials such as plants, form defensive shields, manipulate and transform objects, strengthen a car engine and many more.
Alongside his mystical abilities, he also knows self defense tricks which he learned from the security guards. He applies these tactics with magic, further demonstrating Nabu's great range of skills. He has shown these examples to Riven after the latter expressed his curiosity. He is also shown to be proficient in espionage.
Because he too can duplicate himself, Nabu can easily distinguish between clones and the real person. This was showcased when Darcy unleashed her duplicates to confuse him, Nabu followed suit and quickly deduced which one was real.
Uses of Magic
- Flight: Briefly shown in "Valtor's Box" and again in "In Diana's Kingdom".
- Invisibility: Shown in "The Red Tower".
- Duplication: Shown in "The Red Tower" when he used it to counter Darcy's duplication trick and again in "The Gifts of Destiny" to distract Diana's Warrior Fairies.
- Teleportation: Shown in "The Crystal Labyrinth" and again in "Love & Pet".
- Energy blasts: Shown in "Valtor's Box" and has used it many other times as well.
Etymology
