Winx Club Rewrite: General Info

I understand this is me being very late to the party, but that’s pretty on-brand for me at this point lol

A few years ago, I started to work on a possible rewrite for Fate: The Winx Saga but it soon became this monstrous project of rewriting the entire franchise. Because while this series is one of my beloved childhood series, it is also very messy with its world-building and plotlines, as well being done dirty over and over again by its countless reboots. As much as I would have loved to create a full-on alternative universe like the ones I’ve seen on tumblr for years, it just took up so much of my time that could have been spent on other projects and it was starting to feel more like a chore than anything else. Eventually, I did create some fashion boards for how to translate their outfits from the show into real life, and wrote up some concept ideas for their live-action costumes, which led to me just writing up the notes I had for the rewrite to share them with y'all.

Some of these ideas were inspired by other people’s rewrite of the series, some of these ideas came to me while writing this up, and a lot of these are my attempt to make sense of Winx Club’s fucked-up lore. While these were originally written with a live-action reboot in mind, these could also work for an animated reboot targeted for teens/young adults.

This is probably the extent I’ll do for any sort of Winx Club rewrite, but it was still fun!

-There are five main planets which circles the giant sun of the Magical Dimension. Omega is the furthest planet (being more similar to a planetoid) and contains mostly wastelands, which act as different levels of imprisonment for criminals or ancient beings of darkness. Orez, Fallat, and Rot are also planetoids which circle the sun, being even further out than Omega but they were once seen as part of an ancient prophecy. Callisto was the first planet to be born (despite being the smallest of them all), and it acts as the setting for the series, as it is home for the city of Magix, three main schools, the Fortress of Light, Pixie Village, and the remains of Aster Dell. Lumenia is the planet which has Solaria (currently the biggest kingdom after the fall of Domino), Eraklyon the wasteland which was Domino (located near the top of the planet), Dyamond, the island of Quartzia (a renamed Isis/Iris), and Romulea. Titania is the home of Zenith (its largest country), Melody, Oppositus, Hoggar, Whisperia, and Dolona. Valeria is the planet which has Andros (along with its dual kingdom of Atlantis), Linphea, Serenia, Prometia, Espero, and Ohm.

-Fairies are a group of magi would use their emotions and memories to fuel their magic, with their wings being created from their leftover magical reserves and the transformations are used to help fairies control their increasing magical prowess as they get older, especially if said transformation is used to help out in a certain situation. Witches are a group of magi who use religion, the elements, and other aspects of the natural world to fuel their magic; depending on what teachings they decide to follow, witches can follow different paths in life to help out in their societies. Wizards are a group of magi who similar to witches (hence why they attend the same school), but they are known for combining both ancient forms of magic and science to perform spells, as well as using external magical conductors such as staffs or tattoos.

-Knights is the term to describe humans who possess some level of magic in order to wield magical weapons and possess some level of superhuman abilities (namely speed, strength, and agility), but do not possess the abilities to transform or perform spells; whether the knight is a male or female, they are all taught in hand-to-hand combat and weaponry. Knights are given magical stones to 'transform' into their armor and allow their natural abilities to become heightened. Either during their education or afterwards, a knight can choose one of three paths; Specialist (a male-dominated field where knights are trained in specific fields based on their strengths and use technology-based weaponry), Valkyries (a female-dominated field where knights are enlisted for political or wartime missions, with them using elemental-based weaponry; the more highly skilled Valkyries are chosen for espionage missions, with them using easily-concealed weaponry), or Paladin (a highly exclusive and deeply religious field, where one is trained to either become a member of the Fortress of Light or a guardian of the Omega Portals, with them using more ancient weaponry and being taught more in how to use magic)

-Alfea is a school for fairies, Cloud Tower is a school for witches & wizards, and Red Fountain is a school for the Knights.

-There are people who have magic but do not fit neatly in the traditional groups. This includes Fanus (people with the ability to transform into the native animals of their home), Magical Beings (such as elves, mermaids, leprechauns, pixies, ogres, orcs, etc.), Monsters (which include dragons, harpies, vampires, were-creatures dryads, etc.), and Casters (those possessing strong supernatural abilities, usually having super-specific abilities or roles)

-Morphix is an unnatural magical source, created by the Pixies to protect their village. Helia is the one to control this substance, being the grandchild of Saladin and having higher magical capabilities than most Specialists

-The Nymphs of Magix do not exist, but instead, the Company of Light takes their place as the ancient society who oversaw the Magical Dimension after the Great Dragon's disappearance. Both Marion and Oritel were a part of this group (along with Faragonda, Saladin, Griffin, etc.), and Daphne would have joined their ranks if Domino had not been destroyed.

-The concept of Nymphs does exist, but it is seen as the final transformation for a fairy, with the only equivalent being death. When a fairy is so devoted to their magic, their spirit will separate from their physical form and become one with the magic which flows through their veins, thus becoming an ethereal guardian of their kingdom. The only known example is Acarida.

-The Dragon Flame chooses its wielder, instead of it being passed down through one bloodline. When a new wielder is born, the current keeper of the Dragon Flame shall seek them out and help them get their powers under control, with the new wielder being gifted the full Dragon Flame upon their 16th birthday. Bloom is the exception to these two rules, as she is the first wielder to have been born the existing one (Marion was mentored by Maya after receiving the Dragon Flame) and she was given its power upon her mother's death, with Daphne using a spell to hide her magic when she sent Bloom to Earth.

This is Rad! He's a local magician who primarily works as an entertainer and does magic shows :)

He is unique in his ability to use magic of any element, although he really isn't very powerful, mostly capable of doing party tricks and colorful displays.

He was discovered by one of the lairs leaders a long time ago, wandering the wasteland alone. His excess magic was threatening to overtake his physical body, and his health had been rapidly declining. With the help of the clan's elemental representatives, he was able to recover and learn to control his strange abilities.

In my AU setting, by the time the clan found him he was already almost completely consumed by magic. He could only be saved by being integrated into the lair's power system in order to spread out the excess energy.

While his body has been lost, his mind is still very active. He's basically a part of the lair now, able to see into it's inner workings and communicate with dragons who are interfacing with the lair. (He's like the AI of a sci-fi spaceship except he used to be a real person)

Nola and Funfetti run a mobile lightning farm that delivers power cells to distant clans. They are very good friends and practically go everywhere together.

Funfetti uses a device powered by her Wind magic in order to fly, and she cannot fly without it. She's very optimistic and cheerful, despite what her monotone voice may lead you to believe.

Nola is a bit of a hopeless romantic who falls in love with half the guys he meets, but he insists that he never wants to settle down with anyone.

And finally the clan's 3 seers, Amaryllis, Callisto, and Sioni! They each see into a different facet of time (the past, present, and future, respectively). They don't really have a lot of lore yet, I just wanted to share them.

I’m falling out of flight rising due to my busy life so send me your fave dragons and some of their lore!

Ive had a rather nasty day and need some reading/dragon admiring

Do not worry about word vomit or long posts I genuinely want to read what you have!
