[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 has a good relationship with Ms. Griffin. She teaches convergence to the fairies of Alfea. 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 planet of Domino. Faragonda is one of the three points of magic, the others being Griffin and Saladin. Rachael Lillis voices Faragonda in the 4kids version. At one point Ms.F was a witch.[citation needed]
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. But they are her students so she does on some level care for them. She teaches the fairies a system of techniques involving defense and reflection abilities and teaches them some incredible new spells. Su Meredith voices Griselda in the 4kids version.
Professor Palladium is an elf who teaches Potionology 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 has undergone an evolution and is changed into a more confident character. 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 DuFour is a teacher featured in one episode. 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, Lord Darkar's stronghold.
Barbatea is Alfea's head librarian.
Ofelia is Alfea's resident doctor (name wasn't mentioned).
[edit] Cloudtower
Principal Griffin is the headmistress of Cloudtower. 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 planet of Domino alongside Ms. Faragonda and Principal Saladin of Redfountain. Griffin is one of the three points of magic, the others being Faragonda and Saladin. Carol Jacobanis voices Griffin in the 4kids version. it is aslo hinted Griffin worked with Baltor and the coven of witches but was saved by Faragonda
Professor Ediltrude is a professor at Cloudtower and sister of Zarathustra. (Name wasn't mentioned in season one)
Professor Zarathustra: A professor at Cloudtower and sister of Ediltrude. (Name wasn't mentioned in season one)
[edit] Redfountain
Principal Saladin is the headmaster of Redfountain. He is an old but very powerful wizard. It is revealed in season three that he, Ms, Faragonda, and Griffin helped defend the planet of Domino. Saladin is one of the three points of magic, the others being Faragonda and Griffin. Michael Alston Baley voices Saladin in the 4kids version.
Professor Codatorta is the head of discipline at Redfountain. 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] Students
[edit] Alfea Students
Luna is a fairy with green hair who attends the same classes as the Winx Club members.
Ortensia wears glasses and a pink polo shirt, and in her fairy form keeps her glasses and wears a muffin cap, and a pink tank top and dark pink skirt. She was noted as complaining about the prom in the last few episodes of Season One.
Amaryl wears a yellow-green fairy outfit and has pinkish-orangish wings. She comes from the Realm of Cosmosias (the Realm of all things celestial) and her power is starlight. She is known for adding her two-cents into conversations. She and Stella don't get along very well and Amaryl actually tried to attack Stella in one of their classes, but was stopped by Professor Palladium. (Depending on the version, she was trying to attack Stella with a Plasma Sphere, or a Truth Orb.)
Francis wears a harlequin fairy outfit. She is also Layla's roommate. She's also got the best counter spells in Alfea and was on the prom committee. She is friendly, but definitely has an attitude: she insults Timmy when he comes looking for Tecna in the 19th episode 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).
Francine wears a dark blue fairy outfit. Francine is a character of many names. She's called Dahlia in other episodes, but the Circle of Power card game refers to her as Francine.
Pia has black hair, glasses and a purple fairy outfit (she's easily identified by the purple hat and glasses she wears with it).
Priscilla is a background fairy with short red hair. She wears a dark green fairy outfit with leaf-shaped wings.
Galatea is a fairy with light blonde hair. She is Musa's friend and comes from the same realm as her. She has a cream-coloured fairy outfit with darker cream-coloured wings shaped like treble clefs with gold trimming. She is also the Princess of her realm Melody.
[edit] Lesser Known Alfea Fairies
Note: names of lesser-known fairies were first introduced in the Toys "R" Us exclusive Winx Club Trading Card Game: Circle of Power. The back of the playmat contained the names of all the fairy/character cards. It wasn't until much later on where the official site WinxClub.com added many character icons with corresponding names.
- Ahisa: Ahisa is a fairy that has long black hair with bangs. Her fairy outfit is strapless and is mainly lavender, pink and green. It can be assumed that she and Mirta are friends, as she, Kimmy, and Mirta have been seen together in a few episodes in Season Two.

[edit] Cloudtower students
Mirta is a kind witch who stands out quite prominently from the other witches of Cloudtower. 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. However, she is seen in fairy form in an episode of the third season.
Lucy is Mirta's only friend at Cloudtower. 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 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 reconciliate, realising 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 Eraklion. 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 direct heir to Eraklion. 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, Mark Mauser in the UK version and Alessandro Quarta in Italian 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-centred 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 original version. Brandon's birthday is October 14 in the 4kids version and September 23 in the original version.
- Brandon means sword in Old English.
Timmy is the geek of the group. An inventor 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 Tecna, Timmy heroically protects her on many an occasion. He's also only one in the group who uses a laser gun. 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 original English version. Timmy's birthday is January 13 in the 4kids version and February 15 in the original version.
- Timmy is diminutive for Timothy, which means honouring/honoured 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, and is thus a chauvinist. 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 season. He is very sweet with her, somehow always there when she need him. Michael Sinterniklaas voices Riven in the 4kids version, and Mitchell Rothpan in the original version. Riven's birthday is November 6 in the 4kids version and October 15 in the original version.
Helia is an artistic student who is Principal Saladin's grandson. He arrives during the second season, during episode 34, "Party Crasher". 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 Redfountain (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 original 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 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 Fortress Of Light and gifted them with greater dark powers, in the form of the Gloomix. Later on, while trying to acquire ultimate power by entering the realm of Realix, he is defeated by Bloom and the other Winx girls, who combine their powers, with the help of their Charmix, 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, and she wanted 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 rules. She is, however, an excellent warrior who will fight to the finish. In the 4kids version, she is Queen of Downland, rather than just a 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] Pixies' Village
It is a village in the Dark Forest where the pixies live. Lord Darkar was trying to locate it so that he could find a piece of the Codex, a powerful piece of magic that will allow him to open a portal to the Realm of Realix. Later in season two he turned Bloom evil so he could 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: Alfea, Redfountain, Cloudtower and Pixies' Village. The witches used the term "pixies" as an insult to the fairies only in the first season of the 4kids version.
Concorda is the guardian of Alfea's Codex. She is bonded to the magic archive of Alfea, where it is later revealed that the Codex is hidden within the shelves of books, and thus guards the Codex there.
Discorda is the guardian of Cloudtower's Codex. She is haughty and loves fashion. Her powers are more powerful than the other pixies.
Athena is the guardian of Redfountain'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 Pixies' Village in the Dark Forest.
Lockette is the pixie of Portals, and thus, knows her way anywhere. She has a hairclip that transforms into a sceptre, that 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 she tries to discover her true self and connect with her power and family. Lockette's guidance and loyalty saves Bloom on many an occasion, and the two are thus, inseparable (much to Kiko's dismay).
Amore As her name suggests, ('Amore' is Italian for 'Love'), Amore is the pixie of Love. Her sensitive nature is mirrored in appearance by her rosy-red hair, flowing pink dress and floral decorations. She is Stella's bonded pixie. As Stella's bonded pixie, Amore reminds Stella, in spite of Stella's superficial fashion-obsessive and often secular beliefs, of what is truly important in life: Love. Stella's belief in love as being beautiful, and Amore's love for beauty compliment each other perfectly.
Chatta is the pixie of Chatter, who looks somewhat like Stella: long, orange hair in two ponytails, with 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 her extremely introverted, quiet nature. Chatta encourages Flora to find the strength to speak her mind, often showing the most positive of outcomes. Chatta is also extremely brave, though often blind, challenging any opponent, no matter their size or strength.
Tune is the pixie of Etiquette, or Good Manners, who is polite, even when she is yelling at others. Tune is neat, orderly, prim and proper, and old-fashioned, with pale purple hair, and a Victorian style outfit in purples, whites and blues. Tune believes in being lady-like, an ironic contrast to her bonded fairy, Musa, famous for her outgoing behaviour. In spite of Tune's nagging and correcting, Tune and Musa make the perfect pair, each lessening each other's extremes.
Digit is the pixie of Nanotechnology (technology on an extremely small scale), who lives up to her name. She is extremely immaculate, logical, precise, mathematical and shows little emotion. She is an obvious match for Tecna, and the two have an extremely close relationship, as Digit and Tecna are perfect for challenging each other's minds (and video game skills), discussing similar interests and speaking in their technical manner.
Piff is a baby pixie of Sweet Sleep, who can turn any nightmare into a sweet dream by falling asleep on someone's head. Piff is unable to talk (and mostly speaks babytalk), and depends on Layla, staying always by her side (or in her hood). Piff is almost always sleeping, and is the perfect match for the restless Layla, who often tosses and turns in her sleep due to nightmares. Layla and Piff have an extremely close bond, as Layla needs Piff to function.
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.[citation needed]
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 (Techno Ninjas). (Some transformations weren't seen in the 4kids edition due to possible copyright infringement.) Zing is very hyper and the definite fan-favourite 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 Pixies' Village to Darkar. Livy is Jolly's younger sister.
Jolly Appeared in the episode 'Hallowinx' 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
The Water Nymphs: The Water Nymphs live in the Black-Mud 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 Darkness led by the Trix. The Water Nymphs are called "The Junior League of the Swamp" in the 4kids version, and had a much-higher profile (in the original, no one had seen them before).
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. From season two onwards, however, 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 Exhibition Day at Redfountain. She also has a magical girl transformation in her season one episode, very similar to the main Winx Club girls. Diaspro is the fairy of gemstones. In season two, ninja warriors called the Techno Ninjas 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. (To some fans' consternation, these issues were removed from the 4K version.) In season three she teams up with Valtor to try and get Sky back from Bloom. Veronica Taylor voices Princess Diaspro in the 4kids 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 girls arrive on Solaria.
Valtor (Baltor in the 4Kids version) is the third main villain after Lord Darkar. He is a powerful wizard who would love nothing more than to be the greatest wizard of them all. To do so, 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, in order to conquer each planet or realm. He, like Bloom, was born from the Dragon's Flame, but unlike Bloom, he was born from its dark side. He was with the Three 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 Valtor out of his prison. Valtor escaped from Omega with the Trix and began conquering Andros, Layla's planet of origin. Valtor 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. Valtor is often very interested in Bloom, possibly because of their mysterious connection in the past, which makes the Trix wonder if he has a crush on her.
Rose Rose is Flora's little sister. In episode 12 (season 3) Flora saves Rose from drowning and so gets her Enchantix. Rose appears througout the episode portrayed as a strong-willed girl who wants to be brave and a great fairy inspired by the Winx Club girls.
