Trivia[]
- Faragonda's appearance may have been inspired by that of Madame Adelaide Bonfamille from the Disney animated movie, The Aristocats. Faragonda's facial features, her hairstyle from Season 1 to Season 5, and how she regularly wears lavender-colored clothes are very similar to Madame Bonfamille's facial features, her hairstyle and her dressing style.
- Faragonda's hair color appears to have changed extensively when she was younger. She has brown hair when she was a student at Alfea, but in flashbacks from Season 3 and the first movie, her hair was pink and then pale blue when she was in the Company of Light.
- During a flashback in Season 3, Faragonda's hairstyle consists of two buns on the sides of her head and covering each of her ears, similarly to the hairstyle of Princess Leia Organa from the Star Wars series.
- Her personality and role of helping Bloom on her quests is similar to that of Albus Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series.
- Her role as the headteacher of Alfea who was in the Company of Light which fought against the Ancestral Witches and Valtor appears to have been inspired by how Dumbledore was the Headmaster of Hogwarts and a member of the Order of the Phoenix whose goal was to fight against Lord Voldemort.
- Her battle with Valtor during Season 3 also reflects the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort in the fifth book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
- In the 4Kids dub, it was stated that Faragonda and Griffin had both dated Saladin.
- In the 4Kids version, it was stated that Faragonda and Griffin were in the same grade level when they attended Alfea and Cloud Tower respectively.
- It is also mentioned that Ediltrude attended the Cloud Tower around the same time as Griffin.
- Faragonda's Nick voice actress, Kari Wahlgren, also plays the Narrator part in the Nickelodeon dub.
- Her attire and hair style have been changed in Season 6.
- In the third movie, Bloom calls her "Principal Faragonda" instead of "headmistress".
- Out of all the characters in the series, she has served as a guide and strategist for the Winx.
- She has appeared in every season and movies so far.
- Her personality is similar to Motherboard from Cyberchase
- The name "Faragonda" may be derived from the word "Paragon".
- If the 4Kids version is taken into consideration, then she is the first Fairy Godmother with the second being Eldora.
- She has several similarities with Eldora, especially their physical appearance and hair.
- If the 4Kids version is taken into consideration, another similarity is that both Faragonda and Eldora have been Fairy Godmothers.
- Erica Schroeder used to voice Piff, Daphne, Galatea, Liss, Yakobetta and Maia in the 4Kids dub.
- Erica Schroeder also voices Icy, Critty and Squonk in the DuArt dub, and returns to voice Piff. Making her the only voice actress to return to voice the same character from two different dubbing companies.
- In "The Golden Butterfly," it is revealed that Faragonda became Griselda's roommate after Kalshara left Alfea.
- Many similarities can be observed between Headmistress Faragonda and Master Wu of Ninjago Masters of Spinjitzu series. These include:
- Both Headmistress Faragonda and Master Wu are Teachers of Bloom Musa Tecna Flora Stella Aisha/Layla Kai Smith Jay Gordon/Walker Zane Julien Cole Bucket/Brookstone and Nya Smith Unlce of Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon and Master Wu is Brother of Master Garmadon Sister-In-Law of Misako and Son of the First Spinjitzu Master
