Beatrix's sly and cunning nature made it hard for Bloom to trust her but with the shared bonding of their relationship to Aster Dell the two slowly grow more appreciative of eachother. This newfound appreciation was so appealing to Bloom she was willing to betray her suite mates for Beatrix. Cod-psychologists might suggest that Bloom started writing late because both her parents were employed as writers: her mother for magazines, which she gave up after having children and her father as a financial journalist. They lived in a privileged part of Long Island, outside New York, and by her own definition Bloom was a weird little creature, running around shouting new words she'd learnt and when asked what she'd like for her ninth birthday answering "my own apartment". But the writing her parents did had no discernible effect on her, she says. "My father never spoke about his work. He was pretty workmanlike – no one was ever going to say, boy, I remember that great sentence. It was more like living with a hardworking carpenter or something. It wasn't like my father was Harold Pinter." A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.” ― George Jean Nathan I realized I was thinking of you, and I began to wonder how long you’d been on my mind. Then it occurred to me: Since I met you, you’ve never left.” — Unknown Bloom was born in 2004. This is a reference to the fact that the animated Winx Club series first premiered in Italy in 2004.

I don’t know what they are called, the spaces between seconds– but I think of you always in those intervals.” ― Salvador Plascencia I still haven’t figured out how to sit across from you, and not be madly in love with everything you do.” — William C. Hannon Burned Ones Connection: The Dragon Flame allows Bloom to sense when Burned Ones are close. However, it creates a two-way connection, which also allows the Burned Ones to locate and go after her. Her husband is an architect, which suits her perfectly; he has a good eye and understands from his own work that "staring out of the window does not mean you're not doing anything." The idea of living with another writer makes Bloom shudder. "I'd rather be married to a sanitation engineer, or a guy who ran a fancy food emporium or someone who transforms live organ transplants." Why marry rather than live together? "We got married because we're not the kind of people who get tattoos. We were so stunned to find ourselves so smitten, so late, that there seemed to be some sort of ritual you could go through to celebrate it, and it turned out there was."I love you also means I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else.” ― Jonathan Safran Foer Pyrokinesis: She possesses the ability to generate and manipulate fire. She has demonstrated this ability on many occasions being able to: generate fire in her palms, send a concentrated flow of fire, as well as being able to generate fire onto external sources and even let it burn without actively concentrating on it.

You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.” – Oscar Wilde In an era of withering attention spans, it's surprising that short stories aren't in greater demand. It's a question of commitment, Bloom says. "There is a big category of not very well-written but extremely readable novels – books you take to the beach, to the airport, the genre novels that don't require much of you but fill a few hours. There are very few short stories like that: big, badly written, eminently readable. Those novels require absolutely nothing. It's like watching television." Even the literary magazines she writes for reject stories that have more than one strand. "The short story in the modern magazine is an extended anecdote."

Farah administered Bloom to Alfea and took a very strong interest in her powers and her changeling nature. Farah's interest caused a lot of secrets being held between the two causing distrust between the two for most of the first season. However, when these secrets become unearthed the relationship between the two begins to grow. Raw Magic/Energy Manifestation: Bloom is capable of channeling pure magic from her element and manifest it as waves of energy. The two return to the school, Bloom explaining to Aisha why she was in the forest, trying to figure out her magic, citing a terrible first experience with magic. Aisha doesn't think that justifies Bloom being in the dangerous forest alone, and responds that she also had a terrible experience with magic: because of a failed math test she had flooded her secondary school with the water from taps, sprinklers, and toilets, commenting "Have you ever waded through human poo? I have. Not pleasant. Sometimes being a fairy means you have to deal with shit." You might not have been my first love but you were the love that made all the other loves irrelevant.” ― Rupi Kaur I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” — Pablo Neruda

Bloom and Vanessa's relationship is another which shows signs of conflict and struggle. Vanessa's ideas of how Bloom should act and conduct herself creates a divide between the mother and daughter. This divide fuelled Bloom's anger enough to allow her to unleash fire upon her. However, with Bloom's return and reveal at the end of season one their relationship appears to be healing. Love is supposed to be based on trust, and trust on love, it’s something rare and beautiful when people can confide in each other without fearing what the other person will think.” ― E.A. Bucchianeri Although her first novel, Love Invents Us, and Normal, a non-fiction book of interviews with transsexuals that she wrote after doing some professional work in the area, were both well received, it was the success of Away that promoted Bloom into another league. Now, she says, "I get 30 people at a reading instead of nine." The book takes place in the aftermath of a massacre but is, fundamentally, optimistic, "about creating some happiness in a painful life. I wanted to write about people going on, after terrible loss." In your eyes, a thousand stars glow tonight, in your heart a thousand heartbeats. But in me one endless love just because I thought of you.” ― UnknownIf I had but an hour of love, if that be all that is given me, an hour of love upon this earth, I would give my love to thee.” ― Alice Sebold That stringency is hard to square with her career in psychotherapy, which must, surely, have involved listening to people talk endlessly about themselves, as Bloom's characters are not permitted to do. "Right!" she says. "Which is why when people say, did being a therapist help you become a writer, I say, no. Not really – although learning to listen to people is certainly a good thing if you're going to write, as well as learning to shut up so they can finish their sentence." She had strong ideas about the limitations of therapy. Would she ever tell a client to snap out of it? "Well, for example, if someone has been spending three hours over the course of three weeks speaking about their Yorkshire terrier's breathing difficulties, at some point I might say" – she smiles dangerously – "that's a lot of time about the Yorkie. And if that doesn't move them, I might say something like, you know, sometimes people are aggressively boring because they don't want to talk about what's on their mind."
