The Trix
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Trix are a group of antagonists in the fictional series Winx Club. They are known as "The Senior Witches", or more commonly just "The Witches", in the English version. They consist of three teenage witches - Icy, their leader, Darcy, and Stormy. For most of the first season, they attend the Cloud Tower School For Witches. In the first season, The Trix stole the Dragonfire and summoned the Army of Decay to take over the realm of Magix. The Trix are the descendants of the three witches who destroyed Sparks and created Baltor. At the beginning of the first season, the Trix seemed to be more powerful than the fairies (with the exception of Bloom), as seen in the episode Spelled where they were able to get the better of the fight, and win had Bloom not intervened. However, after they had been defeated and lost the dragonfire, the Winx Club are able to easily defeat them.

[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 (because the episode in which it gets announced, "Truth or Dare", first played on that day).[1] 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 with yellow lenses. 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 (however the glove on her left hand gets removed in order to house the Gloomix that was given to her by Darkar), 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. Darcy is more classy than her sisters. Her hair is very long, making it look like she wears a cape.
Disenchantix: her disenchantix, resembling a bathing suit is navy blue in colour like the others and has purple shawls on her legs. It is outlined with purple.
[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 because her powers were powered by the Dragonfire at the time). In The Day Of The Rose(4kids version) she hypnotizes Riven, a Red Fountain specialist. (in the original English she brings him out of a coma) 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 Cloud Tower.
One power she has used in Season One episode three, "Save the First 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. Her notable attacks are:

Disenchantix: Her outfit, a top and bottom resembling a bathing suit is navy blue in colour like the others and has reddish-pink shawls on her miniskirt. The outline is red.
