[edit] Icy
Icy: A young witch described as having a "Heart of Ice" (cuore di ghiaccio). As the eldest and most powerful sister, she is the ruthless leader of the Trix and wishes to rule the universe. The name Icy suits her perfectly, describing her powers and her general personality. She is cruel for the sake of being cruel, viciously ridiculing people she doesn't approve of. She attacks victims with freezing rays and snow storms. Icy hates the fairies of Alfea to a huge extent, misguided by Ms. Griffin. The witch's antics mainly targets breaking into Alfea and casting some sort of spell such as a curse or hex. Monsters that she has controlled include Ogres, Minotaurs, Trolls and a Nightmare Gargoyle. Lisa Ortiz voices Icy in the 4kids version.
[edit] Appearance
Civilian In the first season, Icy usually wears light blue when she is not in her witch form. Her outfit consists of a top and a bottom like the Winx girls. Her top is light blue and has a collar. Icy's skirt is light blue with a string of diamond shaped acssories hung over it. She wears high laced light blue boots. Her long white hair is tied up into a high ponytail. She has two strands of hair curled up and laid over her soulder. She has light blue eye makeup.
Witch Icy's outfit turns into a darker shade of blue. Dark blue eyeshadow appears under her eyes. However, her hairstyle does not change. Instead of wearing a top and a bottom, her outfit changes to something like a suit. She wears high boots of the colour dark blue. The letter I is embossed on the outfit. She also wears a blue choker at her neck. A dark blue cloak also appears.
Gloomix In her Gloomix version, Icy wears her witch outfit and the gloomix is a necklace, which came from Lord Darkar.
Lake Fortress Of Light In the beginning of the second season, when the Tirx was imprisoned in Lake Fortress Of Light, Icy wears a light yellow robe and a sort of blue headband. Her hairstyle does not change.
[edit] Powers and Skills
Icy's powers come from ice. She is seen to have the following powers, unnamed in the original version, but named as below in the 4kids dub:
- Ice Coffin: can entrap an item or object in ice
- Temper Freeze: It is seen in episodes that she can freeze with her emotions
- Ice Spikes: In one episode she can make spikes with her ice
- Wisperian Crystal: Icy's Wisperian Crystal is shaped like a dagger. This is probably because she is a warlike person
- Ice Crusher:A Huge chunk of ice builds up next to an object, and the chunk of ice grows until the thin piece of ice holding it up breaks. Then the chunk of ice falls on the object and crushes it.
- Blizzard: Creates a blizzard
- Ice Hail: Attack that wipes out everything in Icy's Path.
- Ice Bracelet: CAuses a circle of ice to surround the enemy.
A few more: ice dart, ice curtain, ice blade, ice star and ice shield.
[edit] Darcy
Darcy: A young witch described as the "Lady of Darkness" (signora dell'oscurità). She is more calm and competent than her sisters. Devious and manipulative, Darcy uses subtle dark magic and illusions to confuse and control opponents. She is good at discovering weaknesses and exploiting them. Caren Manuel voices Darcy in the 4kids version, and Carrie Finlay in the original English version. Darcy's birthday is given as November 26 in the 4kids dub (due to the fact that the episode in which it gets announced, "Truth or Dare", first played on that day).[1]

- Darcy means dark one in Celtic/Gaelic
Darcy has demonstrated the power of confusion (as seen in Season One's The Day Of The Rose). She also has been seen to have hypnotic powers.
[edit] Appearance
Darcy in her normal outfit consists of a purple top, purple bell-bottoms, and sunglasses. Her witch outfit is the same color, but it's more like a bodysuit with no sleeves, and capri-style pants. Accessories include light purple gloves, ankle boots that are the same color as her witch outfit, and a choker that forms a "D" at her belt. Continuing the purple accessories, Darcy wears eye makeup in her witch outfit.
[edit] Powers
Her powers are of darkness and her magic commonly is seen as purple rings. Her powers are widely displayed in the seventh episode of the first season The Day Of The Rose, here it is revealed that she can hypnotise people such as Riven. In the episode The Fall Of Magix, it is shown that she can create vortices and make rooms turn into darkness (this is due to the fact that her powers were powered by the Dragonfire at the time.) In The Day Of The Rose she hypnotizes Riven, a Redfountain Specialist. Their relationship was in the arc until the witches obtained the Dragon's Flame. Riven was a spy for Darcy and got information about Bloom for the witches. He, for most of the war, was prisoner in Cloudtower.
One power she has used in Season Oone episode three titled "Save the Last Dance" is called "heel of oblivia". This does not really use her powers of darkness but it shows her stomping her foot causing a huge crack in the ground.
[edit] Stormy
Stormy: A young witch (she's the youngest of the Trix) described as the "Queen of Storms" (regina delle tempeste). Her temper matches her name; Stormy is extremely proud, ill-tempered and is somewhat immature. Stormy is known for her frizzy hair. She secretly believes herself to be stronger than Icy but this is unlikely. Like her name also suggests, Stormy creates and controls storms. She draws her powers from the storms and the wind. Her most used techniques consists of creating air pockets, direct lighting, tornadoes, double tornadoes, and eyes of hurricanes. Her most devastating attack, called the "Psycho-clone" in the 4kids version, is a move in which she spins at a high speed creating a tornado with a scale of F-5. (Although in the second season she summons it like she summons most of her tornado attacks.) Suzy Myers voices Stormy in the 4kids version, and Sarah McCullough in the original English version.
- Stormy wears a light purple dress and has frizzy purple-blue hair.
In the second season, Stormy seems to hold a grudge against Musa, and confronts her in several episodes, leading to a showdown.
