She teaches Convergence to the fairies of Alfea. Faragonda has a good relationship and a little bit of a rivalry with Ms. Griffin of Cloudtower, another school in the series. In season three it is revealed that this is because they and Headmaster Saladin of Red Fountain had worked together to help defend the planet of Domino [1] from Baltor. Apparently, Faragonda was friends with Bloom's parents King Oritel and Queen Miriam of Domino and was deeply disturbed by their disappearance. Faragonda is one of the three points of magic, the others being Griffin and Saladin. Rachael Lillis voices Faragonda in the 4kids version.[citation needed]
Assistant Principal Griselda is the assistant to Ms. Faragonda and Head of Discipline at Alfea.[citation needed] While not a bad person, Griselda seems to dislike Bloom and Stella; Bloom for lying to her on the first day and Stella for blowing up the potions lab the year before the events of season one. But they are her students, so she does care for them. She teaches the fairies a system of techniques involving defense and reflection abilities as well as new spells.

Ofelia is Alfea's resident doctor (name wasn't mentioned).
[edit] Cloud Tower
Miss Griffin is the Headmistress of Cloud Tower. She is a bitter rival of Faragonda and it is stated (in the final episode , "Fire and Flame") that the two of them were once good friends and even dated the same boy. Griffin can seem mean, but she honestly cares for her students and will defend them if threatened. In season three it is revealed that as a young witch, she once teamed with Baltor to work for the Ancestral Witches. Also, as a young witch, she resembled Darcy. She was saved by Faragonda and went on to help defend the planet of Domino alongside Ms. Faragonda and Principal Saladin of Red Fountain.[citation needed] Carol Jacobanis voices Griffin in the 4kids version.

She shouted "Star power" during one of the season two episodes. She has a bit of an attitude. Stella and her didn't get along very well through the first two seasons. Amaryl had tried to attack Stella in one of their classes, but was stopped by Professor Palladium.

She insults Timmy when he comes looking for Tecna in the episode 19 of season two, during Tecna's phase of hating Timmy (depending on the version, for not making the first move, or for not shooting the Trix and letting them take the Codex piece at Red Fountain).
Galatea is a fairy with light-blond hair and is also the princess of the planet or realm where Musa came from. She has a cream-coloured fairy outfit with darker cream-coloured wings shaped like treble clefs with gold trimming. Her civilian outfit is a lilac dress and a golden crown.

She appears to be a very good dancer, appearing in the Miss Magix competition in disguise. She and Mirta have been friends since childhood. They lose contact at the end of the first season, as Mirta transfers to Alfea, but halfway through the second season, Lucy and Mirta reconcile. They are seen dancing with Amaryl at Musa's concert and together at the end of year party during the finale of the second season, proving that they are once more friends. Lucy was unwillingly part of the attack on Alfea in the third season under Valtor's control.
Mirta is a kind hybrid fairy/witch who stands out quite prominently from the other witches of Cloud Tower. Her sweet and shy nature makes her a target of ridicule and scorn there, except for her roommate and childhood friend Lucy. Mirta doesn't think the fairies are bad and even attempts to help Bloom on one occasion. For interfering in the Trix's business, she is turned into a pumpkin for the second half of the first season. Flora keeps the pumpkin in her room and takes care of it affectionately[citation needed], trying several times to turn her back. By the end of the first season, she is turned back into a girl and becomes a transfer student to Alfea. Each time the Winx Club goes to Cloud Tower, Mirta joins them as a guide. She is seen in Winx form in the 10th episode of the third season. Her winx outfit is a pink spaghetti strap top with a matching skirt as well as blue boots and blackish-blue gloves. Her wings are pale purple. In the movie, Mirta is featured a couple of times. When Stella, Musa, Flora, Tecna and Layla are graduated, she cheers them. When Mandragora attacks Alféa, she takes down one of her monsters. Finally she appears, when the teachers, pixies and fairies restore Alfea after the battle.[citation needed]
There are at least 60 unnamed witches in Cloud Tower. Icy, Darcy and Stormy were seniors at the school for part of the first season, but were expelled.

Not wanting to tell Layla who he really is, he goes under the name "Ophir" for a time until later on, when he finally tells Layla the truth because he has fallen in love with her. In season three episode 22, he gets in a fight with Riven after Riven misunderstood a situation when Nabu picked up Musa because she had hurt herself what the former didn't know. Luckily, this is resolved very quickly and Nabu and Riven later become very good friends. He attends Redfountain with the rest of the boys[citation needed], although he is a wizard and has magic powers unlike any other specialist. Nabu has long, coffee-brown hair done in a braid and wears a purple-and-gold overcoat and purple pants. He seems to like dancing as much as Layla does and is shown to be friendly, smart and outgoing.[citation needed] He finally proposed to Layla in season 4
Riven is the maverick of the group. Putting up a cold front, he has trouble expressing his emotions as they scare him. He grew up alone, so he lives for himself according to his own rules. Riven mistrusts females, as his mother abandoned him at birth, and is considered a chauvinist. He's very competitive. He is a good swordsman, wielding a scimitar-styled purple phantoblade and a phanto sai with a mace.[citation needed] Some characters see him as a daredevil, clever and touchy. Riven is shown as having an interest in and being the love interest of Musa all through the first and second season. He admits he likes her at the end of the first season, but they don't become a couple until the end of the second season.

After season one, the witches are sent there for unleashing the Army of the Dark on Magix. [2]
Queen Algae is the Queen of the aquatic fairies.
Lusiz is one of the aquatic fairies.
[edit] Shadowhaunt
Lord Darkar is the ruler of Shadowhaunt. He is an ancient being from the beginning when all things were created. Darkar is dramatically opposite to the dragon, but like the dragon he is very powerful. The dragon gives energy and light, while Lord Darkar absorbs it, thus being the source of all negative energy. He once was a man coming to seak the shadow fire power, but the shadow fire started controlling him. He kidnapped the pixies, rescued the trix from their prison and used the Codex and Bloom's Dragon Flame to open the portal to the Realm of the Relix. Darkar can transform into a terrible shadow phoenix, but while in the Relix, Darkar was defeated by all six Winx members, thus banishing him back to the dark realm that spawned him. Dark Bloom Lord Darkar puts a dark spell over her. This term is generally used to describe the evil version of Bloom, in which her outfit changes colors.[citation needed]
Hell's Mastiff, Spit Monster and Brute Monster are monster servants of Lord Darkar. (names weren't mentioned)

[edit] Downland
King Enervus is the King of Downland (original version only).
Queen Quoeda is the Queen of Downland (original version only).
Princess Amentia is the Princess of Downland who tries to marry Brandon in the second season. She is shown as ruthless when she wants something.[citation needed] She is, however, an excellent warrior who will fight to the finish.

Sponsus is Princess Amentia's loyal servant, who is deeply in love with her. He attempts to win her heart by bestowing gifts on her, but to no avail. Thanks to Amore, Princess Amentia finally falls in love with him and agrees to break her 'engagement' with Brandon.
[edit] Pixies' Village
Pixies' Village is a village in the Dark Forest where the pixies live in the series. In the second season, Lord Darkar wants to locate the village to steal a relic, the Codex. Later, he turns Bloom evil so he can use their powers (related through the Dragon's Flame) to activate it. [3]
[edit] Pixies
There are pixies (called "minifairies" in the Italian version) who bond with fairies as well as four guardian pixies that protect the Codex at the four main places in Magix: Alfea, Redfountain, Cloudtower and Pixies' Village. The witches use the term "pixies" as an insult to the fairies in the first season of the 4Kids dub, and Faragonda noted that pixies also trained at Alfea. Since then the term has had no other meaning in the series.
[edit] Pixies bonded to the Winx Club
Amore is the Pixie of Love ('Amore' is Italian for 'love'). Her sensitive nature is mirrored in her appearance by her rosy-red hair, flowing pink dress and floral decorations. She is Stella's bonded pixie. Kerry Williams voices Amore in the 4Kids version and Ilaria Latini in the Original version.[citation needed]
Chatta is the Pixie of Chatter who looks somewhat like Stella with her long, blond hair in two ponytails and a green outfit. She is extremely talkative and enjoys writing cheers and talking about just about everything, especially herself. As Flora's bonded pixie, Flora is very dependent on Chatta, due to Flora's extremely introverted, quiet nature. Chatta encourages Flora to find the strength to speak her mind, often showing the most positive of outcomes. It has been noted and sometimes mistaken that Amore and Chatta could also have fit with each others associated fairy, due to Amore's floral decorations and Chatta's blonde pigtails and attitude. Rebecca Handler voices Chatta in the 4Kids version and Perla Liberatori in the Original version.
Digit is the Pixie of Nanotechnology, who lives up to her name. She is extremely immaculate, logical, precise, mathematical and shows little emotion. She wears a blue, futuristic jumpsuit. She is an obvious match for Tecna and the two of them have an extremely close relationship. They are perfect for challenging each others minds (and video game skills), discussing similar interests and speaking in their technical manner. Lisa Ortiz voices Digit in the 4Kids version and Gemma Donati in the Original version.
Lockette is the Pixie of Portals, thus knowing her way anywhere. She has a hairclip that transforms into a scepter which helps her point people in the right direction. Lockette is Bloom's bonded pixie, as Bloom often finds herself lost and is constantly on a journey to discover the secrets of her past throughout the series (or 'has many hidden passages in her heart'). Lockette not only helps Bloom find her way physically, but also emotionally, as Bloom tries to discover her true self and connect with her power and family.

Tune is neat, orderly, prim and proper and old-fashioned, with pale purple hair and a Victorian-style outfit in purple, white and blue. Tune believes in being lady-like, a contrast to her bonded fairy, Musa, who is famous for her outgoing behavior. In spite of Tune's nagging and correcting, Tune and Musa make the perfect pair, each lessening each others' extremes. Michal Friedman voices Tune in the 4Kids version and Letizia Ciampa the Original version.

Kiko is Bloom's pet rabbit. He has light-blue fur with white splashes. He displays an unusually high amount of intelligence for a rabbit, but no one seems to notice. Kiko is suspected through most of the series to have magic powers (he follows Bloom and Stella through an invisible wall that keeps Bloom's non-magical parents out of Magix and magically flies himself and Pepe the duck out of harms way during the battle at the end of season one), which are finally revealed late into the second season. Pete Zarustica voices Kiko in the 4Kids version and unknown in the Original version.[citation needed]
Livy is the Pixie of Messages and surfs on folded messages. She has a habit of being forgetful, but what she lacks in memory, she makes up in heart. Livy isn't bonded to anyone.

Before season one, they paired their son up with Princess Diaspro as his fiancée, but Sky manages to get out of the engagement to be together with Bloom. They don't like her very much until season two, episode 14, in which she helps to save Diaspro. In their first appearance in the Rai Version, King Erendor is described as an alumnus of Red Fountain and Queen Samera as an ex-supermodel.[citation needed]
Queen Mariam and King Oritel are the Queen and King of Domino[4] and the parents of Daphne and Bloom. They first appear in season two episode nine in Bloom's dream.

They reveal to her that Baltor lied to her. Her parents are not trapped within him, as he pretends they are, but that her parents are still alive in a place beyond magical dimension's reach. It is revealed in the movie that King Oritel and Queen Miriam are trapped in a dark realm called the Circle of Obsidian with the Three Ancient Witches themselves and an evil sorceress named Mandragora.

Countess Cassandra appears in the fourth episode, when Winx girls arrive on Solaria. Both of them team up with Baltor to gain control of Solaria. Cassandra and Stella's father, King Radius, are engaged to be married for reasons unknown. Cassandra puts a spell on Radius that forces him to do everything she tells him to, even banishing his own daughter. Chimera uses her powers to turn Stella into a hideous monster. Later in the season, Chimera takes Stella's place as Princess of Solaria. In episode 19 of season three, however, Stella defeats them. They are imprisoned and Stella becomes Princess again.

Bloom, believing Diaspro was one of the Trix (4K dub: more specifically, Icy) in disguise, attacks her during the Exhibition Day at Red Fountain. She also has a magical girl transformation in her season one episode, similar to the main Winx Club girl's. Diaspro is the Fairy of Gemstones. In the 4Kids version, her homeworld is given as Isis, her family lets her do a large amount of ruling and they are very close with the ruling family of Eraklyon, as her parents and King Erendor and Queen Samera holiday on the same island.[citation needed] In season two, ninja warriors called the Techno Ninjas (The Wrong Righters in the 4kids dub) kidnap her, forcing Sky, Bloom, Brandon and Flora to rescue her. Also in that episode they mention that she rules over the planet called Isis and that she has been trained and taught for many years to become Sky's wife. Therefore, she is quite bitter about the fact that Bloom has taken her place. Flora and Chatta console her, telling her that she will find her prince someday.[citation needed] Veronica Taylor voices Princess Diaspro in the 4kids version.
Princess Viranda of Vallisto is a "friend" of Stella and it is her name that Bloom "adopts" when she first arrives on Alfea because Viranda is supposed to share a room with Flora, but she changed her mind.

Initially, she is a mysterious voice heard only by Bloom, but her identity is revealed in snatches as Bloom's back story is filled in throughout seasons one. Her main role is to help Bloom to realize her magical potential, specifically how to unlock the power of the Dragon Flame. During season one it is revealed that it was Daphne who saved Bloom from the destruction of Sparks [4] by Ancestral Witches. After her death, Daphne's spirit becomes a nymph bound to a lake in Magix that she is only able to leave for short periods of time. She is mostly seen during dream sequences. In the Winx Club movie, Daphne makes several cameo appearances and merges with Bloom during the final battle with the spirits of the Three Ancient Witches.

They lose contact at the end of the first season, as Mirta transfers to Alfea, but halfway through the second season, Lucy and Mirta reconcile. They are seen dancing with Amaryl at Musa's concert and together at the end of year party during the finale of the second season, proving that they are once more friends. Lucy was unwillingly part of the attack on Alfea in the third season under Valtor's control.
Mirta is a kind hybrid fairy/witch who stands out quite prominently from the other witches of Cloud Tower. Her sweet and shy nature makes her a target of ridicule and scorn there, except for her roommate and childhood friend Lucy. Mirta doesn't think the fairies are bad and even attempts to help Bloom on one occasion. For interfering in the Trix's business, she is turned into a pumpkin for the second half of the first season. Flora keeps the pumpkin in her room and takes care of it affectionately[citation needed], trying several times to turn her back.

[edit] Shadowhaunt
Lord Darkar is the ruler of Shadowhaunt. He is an ancient being from the beginning when all things were created. Darkar is dramatically opposite to the dragon, but like the dragon he is very powerful. The dragon gives energy and light, while Lord Darkar absorbs it, thus being the source of all negative energy. He once was a man coming to seak the shadow fire power, but the shadow fire started controlling him. He kidnapped the pixies, rescued the trix from their prison and used the Codex and Bloom's Dragon Flame to open the portal to the Realm of the Relix. Darkar can transform into a terrible shadow phoenix, but while in the Relix, Darkar was defeated by all six Winx members, thus banishing him back to the dark realm that spawned him.

Pixies' Village is a village in the Dark Forest where the pixies live in the series. In the second season, Lord Darkar wants to locate the village to steal a relic, the Codex. Later, he turns Bloom evil so he can use their powers (related through the Dragon's Flame) to activate it. [3]
[edit] Pixies
There are pixies (called "minifairies" in the Italian version) who bond with fairies as well as four guardian pixies that protect the Codex at the four main places in Magix: Alfea, Redfountain, Cloudtower and Pixies' Village. The witches use the term "pixies" as an insult to the fairies in the first season of the 4Kids dub, and Faragonda noted that pixies also trained at Alfea. Since then the term has had no other meaning in the series.

Chatta encourages Flora to find the strength to speak her mind, often showing the most positive of outcomes. It has been noted and sometimes mistaken that Amore and Chatta could also have fit with each others associated fairy, due to Amore's floral decorations and Chatta's blonde pigtails and attitude. Rebecca Handler voices Chatta in the 4Kids version and Perla Liberatori in the Original version.
Digit is the Pixie of Nanotechnology, who lives up to her name. She is extremely immaculate, logical, precise, mathematical and shows little emotion. She wears a blue, futuristic jumpsuit.

Lockette is the Pixie of Portals, thus knowing her way anywhere. She has a hairclip that transforms into a scepter which helps her point people in the right direction.

Pete Zarustica voices Kiko in the 4Kids version and unknown in the Original version.[citation needed]

She also has a magical girl transformation in her season one episode, similar to the main Winx Club girl's. Diaspro is the Fairy of Gemstones. In the 4Kids version, her homeworld is given as Isis, her family lets her do a large amount of ruling and they are very close with the ruling family of Eraklyon, as her parents and King Erendor and Queen Samera holiday on the same island.[citation needed] In season two, ninja warriors called the Techno Ninjas (The Wrong Righters in the 4kids dub) kidnap her, forcing Sky, Bloom, Brandon and Flora to rescue her. Also in that episode they mention that she rules over the planet called Isis and that she has been trained and taught for many years to become Sky's wife. Therefore, she is quite bitter about the fact that Bloom has taken her place. Flora and Chatta console her, telling her that she will find her prince someday.[citation needed] Veronica Taylor voices Princess Diaspro in the 4kids version.
Princess Viranda of Vallisto is a "friend" of Stella and it is her name that Bloom "adopts" when she first arrives on Alfea because Viranda is supposed to share a room with Flora, but she changed her mind.
[edit] Other characters
Anne is Layla's best friend from Tides who teaches her how to dance. In a flashback during the second season, she promises Layla that she will write to her when she moves.[citation needed]
Daphne is the eldest child of Oritel and Miriam of Sparks[4] and thus Bloom's elder sister. Daphne was first introduced in the season one episode "Mission to Cloud Tower". Initially, she is a mysterious voice heard only by Bloom, but her identity is revealed in snatches as Bloom's back story is filled in throughout seasons one. Her main role is to help Bloom to realize her magical potential, specifically how to unlock the power of the Dragon Flame. During season one it is revealed that it was Daphne who saved Bloom from the destruction of Sparks [4] by Ancestral Witches. After her death, Daphne's spirit becomes a nymph bound to a lake in Magix that she is only able to leave for short periods of time. She is mostly seen during dream sequences. In the Winx Club movie, Daphne makes several cameo appearances and merges with Bloom during the final battle with the spirits of the Three Ancient Witches.
The Fairy Hunters (Cacciatori Di Fate in the original version, better known as Wizards of the Black Ring or Wizards of the Black Circle) are the four main villains—Ogron, Gantlos, Duman, and Anagan—in the fourth season. They are defeated in episode thirteen, "Attack of the Wizards" (original version, unknown in the 4Kids version). Patrizio Prata as Ogron, Christian Iansante as Gantlos, Davide Lepore as Duman and Andrea Lavagnino as Anagan play The Fairy Hunters in the original version and unknown in the 4Kids version.
Knut is a near-sighted ogre who works for the Trix. Despite being fairly intelligent, Knut is constantly messing things up.[citation needed] This does not endear him to the Trix particularly well and they berate him often. He switches sides to fight alongside the Specialists and fairies at the end of season one. In season two, he works at Alfea. He appears only in one episode in the third season. Marc Thompson voices Knut in the English version.
Mandragora is an evil sorceress and the main antagonist of Winx Club movie serving under the Three Ancient Witches. She is the leader of the Obsidian Dimension, the demonic world of destruction trying to rule the whole magic universe with the circle of Obsidian. Oritel and Miriam are trapped inside her world. She is defeated by Bloom combined with Daphne and Sky and destroys the world of Obsidian Dimension. After that Oritel and Miriam are free and the Kingdom of Domino is recreated.
Mike is Bloom's adoptive Earth father, a fireman. Stuart Zagnit voices Mike in the 4Kids version and Roberto Certomà in the Original version.
Mitzi is Bloom's Earth classmate and neighbor. She is a rich, spoiled girl who enjoys taunting Bloom every time she sees her. She throws a party in season two, episode 14, and invites Bloom only to prank her. She does, but the pixies get her back with her own prank. Lisa Ortiz voices Mitzi in the 4kids version, Victoria Justice in the live action/ animated direct-to-video version and Monica Vulcano in the Original version. Some fans believe that Mitzi will be revealed as a witch in the fourth season. She has a crush on Brandon in the fourth season.
Nova is Stella's best friend in Solaria. She wears a white top and pants with a lime green jacket and blue shoes.[citation needed]
Pepe is the name of a duckling who resulted from the Winx using their powers to make a spell cast by the Trix backfire. Since Icy was the first person he saw upon hatching, he continually follows her, much to her annoyance. From season two onwards, however, Pepe is no longer mentioned.
Three Ancient Witches are the villains who follow immediately after the Wizards of the Black Ring and Animal hunter destroy Bloom's home planet Domino (Sparks/Sparx) and kill Bloom's birth parents because of the Circle of Obsidian Dimension. They are also the ones who created Baltor. Their essence still remains in the crypt of Cloud Tower.
Valtor (Baltor in the 4kids version) is another main villain. He is a powerful wizard whose goal is to be the greatest wizard of all. Thus, he turns people into monsters that willingly serve him and places a mark that looks like a "V" on other people so they too will serve him. By doing so he hopes to be able to conquer each planet or realm. He was created from the Dragon's Flame by the Three Ancient Witches. He is with them when they destroy Sparks[4], but is sent to the Omega Dimension. Seventeen years later, the Trix are sent there as well, where they break open his prison. They escape and he begins conquering Tides, Layla's original planet. Baltor then moves on to Solaria where he restores his lost powers with the planet's second sun. In their youth, he and Ms. Griffin were magical companions. At that time he meets Bloom's parents Queen Miriam and King Oritel of Sparks[4], who are both stronger than him. However, he tricks them and supposedly kills them the day Sparks is destroyed. He is shown to make those who defeat him miserable. He hunts down Faragonda, Griffin and Saladin, imprisoning them. In the second-to-last episode of season three, Baltor transforms into a demon and unleashes a spell known as the Spell of the Elements sending elemental attacks in four directions: water (flooding) to Cloud Tower, wind (tornadoes) to Redfountain, fire (forever-burning, unable to be put out) to Alfea and earth (earthquakes) to Magix. However, the Winx Club manages to release all the spells that Baltor had stolen. In the final episode, Valtor is defeated by Bloom's Dragon's Flame from the inside out and banished to the Realm of Oblivion along with the Three Ancient Witches.Sean Schemmel voices Baltor in the 4Kids version and Guido Di Naccio in the Original version.
