[edit] School cadre
[edit] Alfea
Ms. Faragonda is the headmistress of Alfea. She is a kind soul who cares for her students but she will not put up with nonsense and will dispense discipline when needed. Faragonda claimed in season one episode two of the 4kids edition that she was an Alfea alumna and a former fairy godmother. Faragonda has a good relationship with Ms. Griffin. In season three, it is revealed that this is because the two and Principal Saladin of Red Fountain had worked together to help defend the realm of Sparx. Rachael Lillis voices Faragonda in the 4kids version.
Assistant Principal Griselda is the assistant to Ms. Faragonda and head of discipline at Alfea. She isn't friendly at all and jumps at every chance to punish someone. 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. She is proficient with "Magical Martial Arts", a system of techniques involving defense and reflection abilities and teaches the fairies some incredible new spells. Su Meredith voices Griselda in the 4kids version.
Professor Palladium is an elf who teaches the Fairies survival skills at Alfea. In the first season, he is somewhat flustered and nervous. He is a brave fighter though, jumping into battle in the last episode with a magical scimitar. During the second season, we see a new Palladium. He's undergone an evolution and changed into a more confident character--he's also much more muscular, claiming to have spent summer break on "Planet Buff" (in the 4kids edition). Sebastian Arcelus voices Palladium in the 4kids version.
Professor Wizgiz is a somewhat eccentric teacher and gnome who teaches Metamorphosimbiosis, the process of changing from one form into another, to the fairies of Alfea. Pete Zarustica voices Wizgiz in the 4kids version.
Professor Du Four is a teacher featured in one episode (name wasn't mentioned).[citation needed] She wears a large scarlet hat and teaches about "good ways" (manners).
Professor Avalon is a teacher of Magiphilosophy, a mix of magic and philosophy, to the fairies of Alfea. He is also a paladin. It is revealed very late in the second season that the Avalon at Alfea is an impostor working for Darkar and the real Avalon had been trapped in Shadowhaunt.
Barbatea is Alfea's head librarian.
Ofelia is Alfea's resident doctor (name wasn't mentioned).
[edit] Cloud Tower
Principal Griffin is the headmistress of Cloud Tower. She is somewhat a bitter rival of Faragonda and it is hinted that the two of them were once good friends. Griffin seems mean but she honestly cares for her students and will defend them if threatened. In season three, it is revealed that she helped defend the realm of Sparx alongside Ms. Faragonda and Principal Saladin of Red Fountain. Carol Jacobanis voices Griffin in the 4kids version.
Professor Ediltrude is a professor at Cloud Tower and sister of Zarathustra. (Name wasn't mentioned in season one)
Professor Zarathustra: A professor at Cloud Tower and sister of Ediltrude. (Name wasn't mentioned in season one)
[edit] Red Fountain
Principal Saladin is the headmaster of Red Fountain. It is revealed in Season Three that he, Ms, Faragonda, and Griffin helped defend the realm of Sparx. Michael Alston Baley voices Saladin in the 4kids version.
Professor Codatorta is the head of discipline at Red Fountain. Not much is known about him, other than that he is very robust and active. He fights with a whip and he comes from the Fortress of Light. Matt Hoverman voices Codatorta in the 4kids version.

[edit] Cloud Tower students
Mirta is a kind 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, but she pays a heavy price for interfering in the Trix's business and 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, trying several times to turn her back into the witch she once was. By the end of the first season, she is turned back into a witch and becomes a transfer student to Alfea.
Lucy is Mirta's only friend at Cloud Tower. Tall, pale, and not quite as attractive as others, Lucy has self-esteem problems and desperately wants to befriend the Trix (though they scorn and tease her). She appears to be a very good dancer, though. She and Mirta have been friends since middle school. They lose contact at the end of the first season, as Mirta transfers to Alfea, but halfway through the second season, Lucy and Mirta reconciliate, realizing their misunderstandings and misgivings. They are seen dancing together at the end of year party during the finale of the second season, proving that they are once more friends.

[edit] The Specialists
Sky is the prince of Eraklyon. Before the school year started, he switched places with his squire, Brandon, to have more freedom of action. He and Bloom fell in love. Sky is the heir to Eraklyon. Sky wants to be an expert fighter pilot and he is a great swordsman. He's noble, brave, loyal, reliable, and faithful. His blue-colored phantoblade is styled after a longsword. Dan Green voices Sky in the 4kids version, and Mark Mauser in the UK version. Sky's birthday is April 27 in the 4kids version and March 20 in the Rainbow version.
Brandon is Sky’s squire. He is a great swordsman and his love interest is Stella. His favorite hobby is going out with girls, and despite his good heart he can be very vain and self-centered at times. Despite his hobby, he proves a faithful and loving partner. His green-colored phantoblade is modeled after a broadsword. Frank Frankson voices Brandon in the 4kids version, and Danny Brochu in the UK version. Brandon's birthday is October 14 in the 4kids version and September 23 in the Rainbow version.
- Brandon means sword in Old English.
Timmy is the geek of the group. An inventor and advisor that prefers to use logic instead of violence, he is from a long family line of scientists. Although Timmy has trouble expressing his feelings towards her, Timmy heroically protects Tecna on many an occasion. He's also only one in the group who uses a laser gun, which he identifies in one of the episodes as a "B-kicker Blaster". He and Tecna get along pretty well, as later in the season they are caught dating. Sebastian Arcelus voices Timmy in the 4kids version, and Michael Tarmush in the UK version. Timmy's birthday is January 13 in the 4kids version and February 15 in the Rainbow version.
- Timmy is diminutive for Timothy, which means honoring/honored by God.
Riven is the maverick of the group. Riven puts up a cold front, and has trouble expressing his emotions as they scare him. He grew up alone, and he acts for himself according to his rules. Riven mistrusts females, as his mother abandoned him at birth. He's very competitive (above all, with Sky). He is a good swordsman, wielding a scimitar-styled purple phantoblade. He is also good at all kinds of sport. Some think Riven is a daredevil, clever and touchy. Riven is shown subtly as having an interest in, and being the love interest of Musa all through the first and second seasons. He admits he likes Musa at the end of the first season, but they don't become a couple until the end of the second. Michael Sinterniklaas voices Riven in the 4kids version, and Mitchell Rothpan in the UK version. Riven's birthday is November 6 in the 4kids version and October 15 in the Rainbow version.
Helia is an artistic student who is Principal Saladin's grandson. Arrives during the Second Season, during the Episode 34, "Party Monster". Helia, formerly an Art Student, is a pacifist, and does not believe in heroics and fighting. However, he saves Flora in an act of defence, using his laser string glove, and for some reason, chooses to stay at Red Fountain (perhaps to see more of Flora?). Helia is a quiet individual, who prefers sketching to practising heroics, despite heroics being in his blood. He is romantically linked with Flora. He doesn't like to use technology, even though he's an excellent pilot; the only weapon he'll ever use is his laser string glove. He enjoys writing poems and sometimes draws. Helia's birthday is unknown in the 4kids version and September 2 in the Rainbow version.
- Helia is a primarily female name that means sun in Greek.
[edit] Other Specialists
Simply referred to as W, he is a long-haired specialist who uses claws, much like Wolverine's. He is most likely a parody of the famous Marvel Character.
Bishop: A specialist with long purple hair. His hair is shaved off on the sides, and he has markings on his forehead. Possibly yet another reference to a Marvel Character.[citation needed]
[edit] Roccaluce (The Fortress of Light)
Known as Light Haven in the 4KIDS TV edition.
Located above the Lake of the Fortress of Light in non-space and unreachable for almost anyone except for those who are trained to a very high and advanced level of magic who can travel through dimensions, it is a temple high above the clouds on a huge and rocky mountain. More details
- Queen Algae: Queen of the aquatic fairies.
- Lusiz: One of the aquatic fairies.
[edit] Shadowhaunt
Lord Darkar, The Master of Shadows, is a primordial evil being that originated at the beginning of time. Darkar is diametrically opposed to the Dragon. He is the embodiment of negative energy. Darkar can transform himself into the terrible Shadow Phoenix. He rescued the Trix from the Do-Gooders Boot Camp (Light Haven) and gifted them with greater dark powers, in the form of the Gloomix. Later on, while trying to acquire ultimate power, he is defeated by Bloom and the other Winx girls, who combine their powers to defeat him. Being darkness incarnate, he could not be killed, but was banished back into the chaos that spawned him where he will remain forever.
Keborg (Kerbog in the 4KIDS edition) is a bat-like creature that serves Lord Darkar as a spy for the Dark master.
Hell's Mastiff, Spit Monster, and Brute Monster: Monster servants of Lord Darkar. (names weren't mentioned)
[edit] Downland
King Enervus is the King of Downland.
Queen Quoeda is the Queen of Downland.
Princess Amentia is the Princess of Downland, she wants to marry Brandon. When Amentia decides she wants something she's ruthless in her pursuit of it. She's also a complete perfectionist, and forces her servants to adhere to strict and apparently nonsensical rule. She is, however, an excellent warrior who will fight to the last. In the 4KIDS TV edition, she is Queen of Downland, rather than just princess, likely because she is so dominating that her parents do not mind that she runs the kingdom.
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 Sponsus, and agrees to break her 'engagement' with Brandon.
[edit] Pixie Village
It is the place where the pixies live. That is where Lord Darkar is trying to locate so he can find a piece of the Codex, a powerful piece of magic that will allow him to open the Realm of Realix. Later in Season two he turns Bloom evil so he can use both his and her powers to activate it. More details
[edit] Pixies
There are Pixies (called "minifairies" in the Italian version) who bond with fairies, and there are four guardian pixies that protect the Codex at the four main places in Magix. The witches use the term as an insult only in the first season.
Concorda is the guardian of Alfea's Codex. She is also the Psychic Pixie who teaches at Alfea as well as works as a librarian, and gave Bloom a little information about the future.
Discorda is the guardian of Cloud Tower's Codex. She is haughty and loves fashion. Her powers are more powerful than the other pixies.
Athena is the guardian of Red Fountain's Codex. She likes going to dragon races in the arena and she dislikes Cordatorta.
Ninfea is the Guardian of Pixie Village's Codex. She guards and protects Pixie Village in the dark forest.
Lockette is the pixie of Portals; therefore, Lockette knows her way anywhere. She is bonded to Bloom because she can sense many passages in her heart. In the Rainbow version, she is a crybaby because Charmy, her cousin, died, but in the 4Kids version, she is not a crybaby but Charmy does disappear. She has a staff to find people the way. 'Lockette' is derived from the word 'locket'.
Amore is the pixie of love, and her soulmate blossoms will make someone fall in love with their soulmate. She's bonded to Stella. Stella's love of beauty and Amore seeing love as beautiful complement the other perfectly. 'Amore' is the Italian word for 'love'.
Chatta is the Pixie of Chatter who looks somewhat like Stella, and always talks without even stopping. Ironically, she is bonded to the very quiet Flora, perhaps so that Flora will learn to speak for herself. Chatta is instrumental in Flora finally telling Helia how she feels about him. She's also the bravest of the pixies, often challenging creatures far bigger than she is.
Tune is the Pixie of Good Manners. She's always telling people what's right and not right to do. She's bonded to Musa. She and Musa, while they get along, appear to be polar opposites: Tune is proper in every way and very lady-like, while Musa tends to speak in slang and acts like a tomboy. Tune's a bit of a hypocrite as she has been known to scream quite loudly at someone who is doing something improper; although, she still says "please" even while screaming.
Digit is the Pixie of Nanotechnology, so she knows a lot of things. She's bonded to Tecna for a very obvious reason of their interests in the technological. Digit and Tecna can often be seen playing video games together.
Piff is the Pixie of Sweet Sleep, and she can turn a nightmare into a sweet dream by sitting or lying down on someone's head. She's bonded to Layla. Piff is still a baby, so most of her speech is baby talk. She was the first Pixie to escape Shadowhaunt by crawling into Layla's hood. She's almost always seen sleeping.
Glim is the Pixie of Fireflies. However, she's still a baby. Glim was called "Blinky" once, but later on, she was called "Glim", and still is now. She's bonded to an Alfea student named Francis, who is also Layla's roommate.
Zing is the Pixie of Bugs. She can cosplay different characters. For example: in episode fourteen of season two, she transformed into Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus, Yuki (a Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers) character), Jubei (Jubei-chan), Jesse (Predator) & one of the patchaman (Wrong Righters). (Some transformations weren't seen in the 4kids TV edition due to possible copyright infringement. Zing is very hyper and the definite fan-favorite of all the pixies. She is not bonded to any of the Winx girls.
Livy is the Pixie of Messages, so she surfs on folded messages. She has a habit of being forgetful. Livy isn't bonded to anyone. In the second series though, Livy accidentally revealed the Pixie Village to Darkar. Livy is Jolly's younger sister.
Jolly Appeared in the episode 'Hallowinx'/'The Fourth Witch' and wears a joker-type outfit. She uses cards to tell the future. She is Livy's older sister.
Charmy is Lockette's cousin. She disappears in Shadowhaunt.
[edit] Other characters
Junior League of the Swamp: The Junior League of the Swamp are made up of a bunch of water nymphs (undines) that live in a swamp where a rare plant about to go extinct was residing until Flora took a sample of it. Some of them warned Alfea of the invasion of the Army of Decay led by the Trix.
Kiko is Bloom's pet rabbit. 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), which are finally revealed late into the second season. He is a pixie pet, revealed in the last episode of the Winx Club season two.
Knut is a nearsighted ogre who works for the Trix. Despite being fairly intelligent, Knut is constantly messing something up somehow. 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. Adam Blaustein voices Knut in the English version.
Mitzi is Bloom's classmate and neighbour on Earth. She is a rich, spoiled girl who enjoys taunting Bloom every time she sees her. Lisa Ortiz voices Mitzi in the 4kids version.
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. In Season two, Pepe is no longer mentioned.
Princess Diaspro is the arranged fiancée of Prince Sky, but he dumped her for Bloom. Bloom, believing Diaspro was Icy in disguise, attacked her during the Day of the Royals. She also has a magical girl transformation in her season one episode, very similar to the main Winx Club girls. Diaspro is referred to as the "fairy of gems and rings" in the Winx comics. In Season Two, ninja warriors called the Wrong Righters kidnap her, forcing Sky, Bloom, Brandon and Flora to rescue her. It is then that we learn that she has been trained and taught for many years to become Sky's wife, and she is quite bitter at the fact that Bloom has taken her place. Flora and Chatta console her, and tell her that she will find her prince someday. In season three she teams up with Baltor to try and get Sky back from Bloom. Veronica Taylor voices Princess Diaspro in the English version.
Countess Cassandra and Chimera are a mother and daughter duo introduced in the third season of the series. Chimera appears in the fifty-third episode constantly conflicting with the Winx Club as they shop in preparation with Stella’s party on solaria. Countess Cassandra appears in the 54th episode when Winx club arrive on Solaria.
Baltor is the third main villain after Lord Darkar. He is a mega-powerful wizard who would love nothing more than to be the greatest wizard of them all, and to do so, he turns people into monsters that'll willingly serve him, and places a mark that looks like an insect head on other people so they too will serve him, in order to conquer each planet or realm. He, like Bloom, was born from the Dragon Fire, but unlike Bloom, he was born from its dark side. He was with the ancient witches when they destroyed Domino, but was sent to the Omega Dimension. Not long after Darkar's defeat, the Trix were sent there too where they found and broke Baltor out of his prison. Baltor escaped from Omega with the Trix and began conquering Andros/Tides. Baltor then moved on to go to Solaria where he took some power from the second sun of Solaria, which was enough to give him back the power that Omega took from him. Baltor is often very interested in Bloom, which makes the Trix wonder if he's crushing on her.
