Yes, it is witchcraft, but they're very different characters. But just the magical element, I guess using my imagination in certain scenarios, you could say I was kind of used to. But it definitely was a completely different character, completely different type of project to tackle for me, which is fun and it was a challenge.” [8] Next, she starred as Angel in Redeeming Love .

[T]o play the confident, fire-wielding fairy Bloom in Netflix's fantasy hit Fate: The Winx Saga, Gainesville, Florida-born actress Abigail Cowen had to learn to be comfortable in her own skin. [...] It was an evolution for Cowen, who was homeschooled in eighth grade after she was subjected to intense bullying for her red hair and freckles. But that experience ultimately contributed to a certain amount of character growth for the now 23-year-old—not to mention her ability to slip in and out of other characters.
