Trix headcanon of the Night

Not much of a Trix but something I saw being discussed in a fandom.

Last names.

Something that is so common yet up to xv century many people of lower status didn't even posses one. They simply stated from what village or town they were. Only nobles and people of high status had a last name or well a family name. They have gotten more popular as social structure changed and in case of Poland until it was legally obligatory to have one in XVIII/XIX century.

So why are people so adamant for Winx and Trix to have Last names?

I personally headcanon only Bloom having one due to coming from Earth. The rest would depend on their monetary an social status. I believe strongly that Musa and Flora wouldn't have last names as well.

Darcy and Stormy wouldn't have last names at all. They would have more than one first name and state from which realm they were from. Icy would have a last name due to being a royalty and it being a historically important name. Same with Stella, Layla and Tecna whose parents seem to be of quite an importance on Zenith.

No need for last names. But making up the name of towns is much more up my alley.

Darcy is from only inhabitable moon per my insane headcanon and girly has three names in total. I dare to not reveal anything due to avoiding spoilers for Guarded.

Stormy is from the windiest city in Linphea and the only one that in some ways uses energy generated from wind. Vintae.

Icy Gleciera or maybe Crysalis of Dyamond.

Some bullshit I thought about

[alilyushka]

Witch sisters💅

[bellatrixobsessed1]

Thinking about @elsa-fogen's post where Icy trusts Darcy so much to protect her that she turns her back on Griffin during a battle and Darcy does indeed catch the spell for her. And they just trust each other so much.

Well I was re-watching season 3 and I have come to discover that the feeling was mutual.

After Darcy insults Valtor he rises from his seat and Darcy hides behind Icy. They trust each other to keep each other safe. Like Icy lets her hide behind her. And Darcy trusts her to protect her. They care deeply about each other!

On Witches

Cloud Tower is one of the three schools the viewer gets to know intimately in Winx Club, and yet, not much is actually known about witches as magical beings. Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking and lurking in Winx-themed forums, and here are some headcanons I’ve developed about them.

What Are Fairies?

Okay, yes—this post is technically about witches. But to understand witches, we first need to understand their counterparts: fairies.

Fairies are magical beings with a unique ability to generate magical energy—mana—internally. While as civilians they may have some magical abilities, a fairy’s power increases dramatically when they activate their wings through transformation. In that form, mana is continuously generated through the wings, though only for a limited time. The more advanced the transformation, the more aggressively mana is produced, and the stronger their magic becomes.

With that out of the way, let’s move on to the main point.

What Are Witches?

In short, witches are fairies who lost the ability to transform.

Centuries ago—long before the Ancestral Witches and the Black Circle—there was a long and turbulent war between fairies and other magical beings. Some fairies, in desperation, fled to Obsidian: a dimension of darkness and despair steeped in black magic. It was a last-resort escape, as they knew no one would dare follow them into such a realm.

Prolonged exposure to this darkness and negative energy gradually stripped them of their wings and their ability to transform. For some, the damage was so deep that the black magic penetrated their DNA, corrupting their magic cores and altering them so thoroughly that even their offspring could no longer transform.

Still, because mana is intrinsic to their being, they retained the ability to wield magic—just not to the same extent as fully transformed fairies. So, to compensate for the power they lost, they turned to black magic.

On Black Magic

Black magic is a powerful—but more volatile—form of magic, amplified by emotion. The more emotionally charged a witch is—and the more in tune they are with their inner self—the better they can wield it.

Since witches aren’t tied to a transformation form, their magic is far more flexible. Unlike fairies, who are often limited to one or two magical affinities (Musa–fairy of Music, Stella–fairy of Sun and Moon, Tecna–fairy of Technology, etc.), witches have access to a broader and more diverse arsenal of spells.

On Amulets

But relying on black magic alone wasn’t enough. Without wings, witches could no longer generate mana continuously, which limited their ability to cast powerful spells. This led to the creation of amulets—tools designed to store large quantities of mana externally.

An amulet can be any object, though witches typically choose small, portable items like jewelry for convenience. One example from the show might be the vacuums the Trix use—tools not only aiding in storing mana but also possessing a convenient function to detect powerful magic. Later in the series, the Trix are given Gloomix jewelry, another clear example.

While amulets can store large amounts of mana, they deplete quickly depending on the type of spells used and the duration of magic being cast. As a result, witches must recharge them regularly, usually through full moon rituals.

Because they lack the innate resources available to fairies, witches tend to be more inventive and more attuned to nature in their magical practices.

On Cloud Tower

There are far fewer witches than there are fairies, and they often live in close-knit communities, as it’s crucial to teach young witches how to safely handle their dangerous magic as early as possible. Cloud Tower is one of the few schools that provides this education.

Students there learn essential skills such as amulet-charging rituals, emotional regulation, and mana control. Still, many witch families choose to educate their children at home, passing down knowledge from generation to generation.

Some witches retain the ability to channel wings and transform as their DNA had remained only partially altered by the Obsidian dimension, but such occurrences are rare and usually triggered by moments of extreme emotional intensity. While some seize this rare opportunity to turn to white magic (eg. Mirta), many witches who discover this ability choose to remain witches rather than become fairies. For them, the advantages of wielding black magic far outweigh the benefits of transformation.
