Characters

Bloom
: The mysterious Earth girl who suddenly finds out that she possesses the magical power of the Dragonfire and is heir to the crown of Sparx! She has a pet bunny, Kiko, and a new love interest in Brandon (Prince Sky) and her bonded pixie is Lockette, pixie of portals.

Stella: Stella is the Princess of Solaria, and her father is King. Her mother was Queen until her parents went through a messy divorce battle. Stella draws her power from the Sun and Moon and is always a very cheerful person! She loves fashion and shopping and knows exactly how to be a perfect princess. Her bonded pixie is Amore, pixie of Love and her boyfriend is Brandon.

Musa: Musa is from Melody, the planet of music in the Harmonic Realm. Her mother has died, but she tries to be strong in spite of it. Her biggest passion is music, she plays several instruments and is an excellent singer. Music is also where she draws her power from and if she is surrounded by music her power greatly increases. She's something of a rebel and doesn't always follow the rules-however is still an A+ student. She's impulsive, bold and wild but cares deeply for her friends. Her bonded pixie is Tune, pixie of manners and her boyfriend is Riven.

Flora: Flora is the Fairy of Nature and she loves all plants and animals. She's got a big heart, but she's a little shy. Flora is gentle and very sweet, it takes a lot to get her mad. But watch out, she's still very powerful! Her bonded pixie is Chatta, pixie of chatter. Her boyfriend is Helia, the artist and dreamer.

Tecna: Just like her name suggests, Tecna is the fairy of technology and its her source of power. She's very knowledgeable about computers and all electronics but she hates when people treat her like a machine. She loves her little gadgets and is up to date on all the latest technology. Consequently, she's not very into fashion and modern trends, much to Stella's dismay. Her bonded pixie is Digit, pixie of technology and her boyfriend is Timmy.

Layla: Layla was the last member of the Winx club to join, she first appeared in Season 2. She is a princess from the realm of Tides and always grew up very prim and proper at her parent's orders. However, this has made her something of a rebel and she really bonded with Musa. She loves to dance, its her greatest passion. Her powers are drawn from water, she can shape water molecules into a solid form to suit her needs. Her bonded pixie is Piff, pixie of sweet dreams. She doesn't find a boyfriend until season 4- Nabu. They originally had an arranged marriage-but both refused.

The Redfountain Boys: At Redfountain school of heroics, boys learn to be heroes and all sorts of sword fighting techniques and the strategy behind the battle.
Sky attends Redfountain, and for most of the first season he switched identities with his squire, Brandon. He said he wanted to find out what it would be like to be a normal guy, and then the boys were found out because Sky's fiancee Princess Diaspro showed up. He later broke off the engagement because of Bloom and she and Stella forgave the boys for their deception.
Brandon is Sky's best friend & Stella's Boyfriend. They start off their relationship strong & stay that way. Brandon eventually asks Stella to marry him, & she accepts. They are the strongest couple of the group & have never hid their feels about each other from anyone.
Riven also attends Redfountain and he is the bad boy of the group- for most of the first season. He calms down a bit after the spell on him is broken, but he is still a wild card & a bit hot headed at times. He dated Darcy and was (literally) under her spell until she tried to kill him. His is cocky, but it is deserved as he is an A+ student. He and Musa eventually ended up dating, but have their hard times.
Timmy is the brainiac of the group and their major strategist. He was secretly crushing on Tecna for a while, until they both came out and admitted their feelings for each other and ended up together.
Helia is the dreamer and the artist of the group. He first appeared in Season 2, and started out going to an art school before he gave up pacifism and transferred to Red Fountain. He fell for Flora very hard & fast and their personalities mesh well together.
Nabu is Laylas boyfriend and doesn't show up untll season 3. Him & Riven originally crash after a misunderstanding, but quickly become close with each other & often are seen together. He is not a swordsman, but is very athletic & seems to have mystical powers of his own.

''



The Trix: The Trix or the Senior Witches are Icy, Darcy and Stormy, descendants of the evil Witches coven that destroyed Sparx. They are bitter about their lack of power and are always trying to get more- first by attempting to steal the Dragonfire and then by teaming up with Darkar and later Baltor. Icy is the leader and strongest of the three and is the favorite of Darkar and Baltor. Her power takes the form of ice. Darcy's is usually hypnotism and illusions whereas Stormy's power takes the form of malicious weather like tornadoes and lightning.

We are the Winx!

Theme song Lyrics(Season 1 and 3)

Close your eyes And open your heart. Believe in yourself, That's how it starts!

Dreams will come true, Just wait and see, 'Cuz the magic's in you, And the magic's in me!

We are the Winx! We are the Winx! Come join the club! We are the Winx! We are the Winx! We are the Winx! Come join the club! We are the Winx!

Magical flowers, Digital powers, Rhythms and tunes, The sun and the moon! Magic shapes and shifting tides And the fire burning deep inside!

We've got the And we've got the flare, Look all you want, Just don't touch the hair!

We are the Winx! We are the Winx! Come join the club! We are the Winx! We are the Winx! We are the Winx! Come join the club, We are the Winx!!

*Note, in Season 2 the line "Magic Shaping and Shifting tides" was introduced because of Layla's appearance that season. It was originally "Keep on Searching far and wide for the fire burning deep inside"

  • Winx Club- a concept that needs polishing so it does not look like the rest of these shows that come out

    "Poor"
    Don't get me wrong- Winx Club has some potential it's just that Iginio Straffi kept it cliche- there is a lack of male fairies, warlocks and female heroines.

    First of all- why don't the main males (perhaps with the exception of some who come later in the series) have any magic abilites, why are they totally reliant on their weapons? Is this some kind of strange view on males?

    I don't mind that the girls are wearing skimpy outfits. Thus is the freedom of the world we live in, where girls can choose to be as naughty as they wish. But a whole school of fairies where only 6 actually fight and defend the world? The bells of nonsense ring. It's like they're training all the other girls for NOTHING! Weird.
    Also, there was only one 'non-evil' witch, Mirta (or Myrta). And the names of the fairies- more predictable than 'the sun will rise tomorrow.' Except for Layla, but Layla is Amharic for 'the other' so that may be tied in this way. Also, Bloom takes up most of the attention, er!

    And the story could run a lot deeper. Hence the reason I gave it a 4, because I think the characters are kinda cute (but a little sterile) and I think the outfits are quite creative (but the men are dressed all the same! Poor guys, having to wear uniform while the girls go in mufti)moreless

  • Winx Club is about six teenage girls who battle against three senior witches and other villains to keep realm of Magix intact.

    "Superb"
    Winx Club is one of the best shows there is! I love all the girls and my favorites are Layla and Flora. Although the show mostly centers around Bloom, the other girls have gotten the spotlight. All six girls are very beautiful (with Flora being the prettiest) and their boyfriends are adorable as well (Helia gets first place for that). I'm glad there aren't any male fairies. That would be too weird. But Layla's boyfriend, Nabu, does have magical abilities. The girls also dress very nicely and their outfits are perfect for them. What I like most is that each girl has something unique about her and if even one of the girls were to leave, Winx Club wouldn't be the same. Winx Club isn't just a show about six girls battling evil. It's also a show about the beautiful friendship between six girls and how they can accomplish anything together. I also like the pixies (my favorite is Piff. She's too cute!) and of course, there's Bloom's little bunny, Kiko. Winx Club also teaches a few morals, mostly that if you believe in yourself, you can do whatever you set your mind to (which is often shown in Bloom). A few other morals are that cheating is bad (Pushing the Envelope) and be considerate of others' feelings (Junior League)

    Winx Club is a wonderful show and I hope the 4th season will come out on 4kids. And if it doesn't, at least there's the Rai English version.moreless

  • I used to like it, nowI don't anymore.

    "Bad"
    When I was about 8 or 9, I really liked this show. I thought it was a cool idea and i liked the girls. But now that I'm older, I've grown out of this show. Now I think it's awful. I feel bad about saying that to a show I used to like but let's face it; this show is not the best Magical Girl show. I love Magical Girl, which includes CardCaptor Sakura, Tokyo Mew Mew and W.I.T.C.H. but Winx Club just isn't the best Magical Girl. Come on, W.I.T.C.H. can do so much better. I wouldn't say this show is ripping off any other Magical Girl but just not the best Magical Girl. It didn't even last long on Craptoon Network... er... I mean Cartoon Network.
    So, the show is about a bunch of anorexic chicks (or skinny chicks)known as fairies who study at some magical school. Bloom was from another world, Domino or something, with the Dragon Fire but was sent to Earth or something and learns about her past later on in the series.
    Okay, let's talk about the characters and their powers. Bloom, like I said before, is from another world with the Dragon Fire. I thought the Dragon Fire was pretty cool. Stella is the big mouth of the girls with some typical blonde character, like, you know, "OMG!"with sun/fire powers. Flora is a plant lover with plant powers. Tecna is some nerd I believe with technology powers. Okay, WTF? This is a Magical Girl and you're giving her technology powers? That just doesn't work. And then there's Musa, the chick who loves music with an annoying voice with music powers which is an okay power. Then there's Layla who I'm not sure what powers she had. The girls looked so freakin' skinny with some pretty poor designs. Their outfits were also really dumb too, like tight-ass skirts. Come on, W.I.T.C.H. had better outfits. The boy characters also looked really bad, like big torsos and skinny legs.
    Villains. The villains were horrible. The Witches aren't even considered as villains. They're just f*cken bullies. I did like them as a kid but just not now. They would just go and pick on the girls, using their powers like as if they were physically abusing the girls. I did like Lord Darker's evil plot; he wanted to enter this other dimension or something and had to gather these three objects or something and then had to use the Dragon Shadow but also needed the power of the Dragon Fire so he turned Bloom evil so he could use the power of the Dragon Fire. I thought that was actually pretty cool.
    Okay, music. I liked the opening song as a kid. Now if I was to listen to it now, I'd think it would be bad. It did have good lyrics, I'll say that.
    Designs and animation. Now just thinking about it, it's bad. I remember watching it back in '06 and my brother was like, "This has such bad animation!" Really, I agree with him. I got around to watching it in '07 early in the mornings when I didn't sleep in and I was like, "Oh, my god, this has such bad animation." There's parts where buildings are CGI which makes it look terrible. The backgrounds are horrible too and pretty much all the characters look weird. The lip-syncing is off too; the characters mouths don't match up to what they're saying most of the time if I remember correctly.
    Okay, the thing that does bother me about the show. They are once again stereotying f*cken teenage girls, like, all f*cken girls love shopping and guys and get whiny if something happens to their hair. And they sometimes do that whole, "OMG!" thing like f*ck. That's the thing I really hate in these shows. You don't do it so much in Japanese Magical Girl but they always have to do it in these shows that come from America or Europe, for example, in Trollz.
    So, overall, I do not like this show anymore. I don't hate it but I just don't like it anymore. Even Sailor Moon can do so much better than this, same goes with W.I.T.C.H. I liked Totally Spies as a kid and I thought that show did better than this!I bet my friend at school who likes really girl things like pixies and fairies will still like this show. I just prefered this show more as a kid in primary school.
    Want my advice to watch an awesome Magical Girl? Watch stuff like Tokyo Mew Mew and Sailor Moon. Just don't watch this. Any Magical Girl show beats this.
    Again, I do not hate this show.moreless

    "Abysmal"
    I can't believe I used to like this show. The animation LOOKED okay, but the plot that went with the animation sounded like all the other TV teen pop junk. Mirta and her plotline with the other witches was the only thing that saved it, if only for the first two seasons-after that she made thankless cameos as a wasted character, and the fact Tecna got her whatchamacallit when we haven't even seen her world or the people on it told me they wasted yet ANOTHER plot. But what I hated most of all? What they did with the Trix. They were awesome villains and were able to hold their own, they didn't need to follow anyone to take over the world. Cut to next seasons, and they're following Baltor and L-whatshisname as joke characters. Also, I can't stand how they shoehorned in Layla during the second season. I loved her at first, thinking she and the freaking pixie entourage would actually DO something useful, but instead we got some glittery transformations and some flashy Broadway-style lighting. Also, she sounded like a Mary Sue with those pixies hanging around her...

    ...plus, okay--I admit it, Nebula looks cute, as well as the Earth Fairies and the Dark Fairies.moreless
