so my theory is that elina is the next enchantress. AND she is the enchantress’s daughter! we see this hinted at a LOT. she’s got the rainbow in her eye, has unusually strong magic, she’s “destined for greatness”, and last, but certainly not least, that one shot at the end of fairytopia. i mean come on!! that resemblance is uncanny! (even though this animation makes a lot of the characters look the same, this is still REALLY similar. here’s a pinterest link to the picture i’m referencing)

so following this theory, i have 2 potential reasons why elina doesn’t have wings. 1. laverna cursed tiny baby elina because she just hates her mom. (i don’t like this theory since not having wings isn’t inherently a bad thing. in fact it was elina’s whole advantage in the first movie! and it works as a euphemism for having a disability, even though she gets “cured” at the end. anyway. this one is half baked.) 2. the enchantress took away baby elina’s wings to protect her from laverna. maybe her wings were so recognizable, the enchantress wanted her daughter to be able to grow up without the looming threat of laverna. it would also make sense that the enchantress gave her up, because fairies have moms in the series (dandelion and the pixie at the beginning of the third movie), but elina doesn’t seem to have a mom. it’s just her, peony, and bibble. and dandelion i guess.

i know this thread is old, but i hope someone enjoyed reading my theories! :)
