Moonbeam

The Apaches were fast, but Moonbeam was like lightning. As the edge of her right hand slammed into the Adam’s Apple of one brave, her left leg kicked out, connecting with the wrist of the other, sending his knife sailing through the air until it landed behind some rocks. Moonbeam crouched, gazing down to where the older warrior was slumped on the ground, choking. The younger brave looked on aghast. “Father!” he cried, wide eyed as the other man gasped for breath. “Yield, young buck!” the fighting squaw ordered the boy. His arms fell to his side, but his anxious eyes remained fixed on the stricken form of his father. Moonbeam gathered up some rope and quickly pulled the younger man’s hands behind his back in order to tie him up. “Your father will recover,” the female warrior told her prisoner as he continued to stare desperately at the other brave, “but I will bind you both and take you as captives to the lodges of my people to answer for your crimes to a council of Dakota elders!”

Moonbeam is a character in the Silver Arrow comics, created by the Belgian artist Frank Sels and published in Danish as Solvpilen between 1970 and 1986.

First of all, this does NOT mean that I plan on having Roxy included in my version of Winx Club because I have zero intention of that. However, I thought I would do a redesign of her just for the fun of it. I decided to racebend her because we have enough white girls from the Winx Club. Plus, I thought showing some Native American/Indigenous representation would be nice. I did change her color from green to yellow because of the fact that I already had green as Tecna's color in my version of Winx Club. Also, yellow just looks amazing on her. For her Magic Winx form, I did have her black hair turn into her signature purple-pink hair color because magic. For her body type, I decided to go for a more scrawny body that lacks curves because of how I hadn't done that with any of my Winx Club redesigns yet. Plus, it just really suits her. For her civilian look, I wanted to give her a more individual style to help her stand out from the others because her original look wasn't very distinct. It looked like something that Bloom or Layla would wear, which was one of the ways that kept her from being her own character. I went with a preppy look, while also having her tie being loose to show her carefree nature. Not to mention a lot of animal paw-prints in her outfit because she's the fairy of animals. Plus, I just had to have her hair in a ponytail because it just helped make the design even better. I hope you guys like it and comment letting me know what you think.
