[edit] Personality profile
Tecna is 16 years old and her birthday is on December 16th. Tecna is very smart and loves technology. She is always practical and logical, sometimes to a fault. She is unselfish and nice to her friends - she truly cares for them, even if she can't always show it. She loves science and in her spare time, she does experiments. Sometimes she gets too into her technology, and her enthusiasm with the same can be annoying. She loves computers and video games. Tecna has trouble expressing her emotions and bases the majority of her decisions on pure logic. According to her profile page at winxclub.com, Tecna enjoys doing sports and being active.
[edit] Appearance
Civilian
Tecna has magenta colored, pixie boy cut styled hair, deep blue eyes, and pale skin tone. Her daily outfit consists of a soft purple and lime green vest top, soft purple flared fitted cropped pants and same color shoes. Her other outfit from Season 2 on is a lavender polo vest top, with a miniskirt of the same color and wedged heeled boots.
Winx
Tecna's Winx outfit is by far and inarguably the most unique of all the fairies viewed in the show. The outfit is mainly a full body suit with sparkling lavender color lavender covering the torso and legs. She has powder blue sleeves which cover her hands as well, and strangely designed blue knee-high boots. She wears a lavender helmet which has a lime green tear-shaped brooch on it, similar to the one on her chest. Her wings are green bars which form small squares on her back, in the form of a glider. These wings help her fly supported by digital energy considering they cannot flutter. Her charmix is a triangle pin and a lock shaped waistbag.
Enchantix
Her Enchantix outfit, in extreme contrast to that of her Winx outfit, is considerably more "revealing." Primarily violet in color, Tecna's outfit also consists of flattering light blue trimming, light blue translucent above-the-elbow gloves that are decorated with various violet colored jewels, and orchid and light yellow, ample butterfly curls wings with violet bejeweled outlining. Her hair the only one of the Winx girls, besides Bloom, it seems, to not have it styled in pigtails, while it has not grown in extreme length like the other Winx girls, does still seem to grow at least a few inches in the back like a flowing fountain. earning herself a sassy, tapered and sophisticated look and style. She has also discarded her powder blue colored boots and dons strappy, barefoot sandals, and wears (instead of a tiara as the other Winx girls do, except for Bloom) what appears to be a lily-shaped, soft green colored beret clip placed upon the left side of her head.
She earned her Enchantix in the 13th episode of season 3, when she volunteereed to close the portal to the Omega Dimension on Layla's home realm to prevent it from being sucked in and cancelled out, sacrificing herself in the process. This caused some consternation from fans who had expected to see her home realm, as earning one's Enchantix is supposed to require saving someone from their home realm (also, she is the only Winx girl whose home realm has not been shown).
[edit] Magical abilities
Tecna is from the planet Zenith.[2] She has the power of technology and can do technology-related attacks.
Tecna's transformation sequence is also quite unique. Firstly, Tecna punches and strikes the air creating forms with her hands (eventually crossing them like everyone else except Layla), then there is a white flash. Black and green digital wireframes form over her arms and body, which create her main outfit. The same nets then form her chest brooch and helmet. Tecna then flies around into her finishing pose, with a triangle boosted by green energy appearing in the background.
Tecna's powers are entirely based on technology and "digital energy" and occasionally she has been known to control electricity. She can create shields of green energy which she ironically calls a "Fire Wall", she can also use this technique to trap enemies in a thick band or in a ball. Tecna can also throw blasts of green bubbly energy which can only immobilize a person for a short time. Tecna is not often known for her power in the group, probably because of her considerable lack of passion when fighting.
[edit] 4Kids changes
She has a British accent in the 4Kids adaptation.
