Winx Club is an Italian animated television series^[1] directed, created, and produced ^[2] by Iginio Straffi ^[1] and his company Rainbow S.r.l..^[3][4] It is part of the larger Winx Club franchise. The series is the first Italian cartoon to be sold in the U.S.^[5] According to Iginio Straffi's website, "Winx Club is an action and fantasy show combined with comedic elements. In the mystical dimension of Magix, three special schools educate modern fairies, ambitious witches and supernatural warriors, and wizards from all over the magical universe."^[2]

The show features Bloom and her five best friends (Stella, Musa, Tecna, Flora, and Layla) and is situated mainly in the magical universe and on Earth. They call themselves "the Winx Club" and go on many adventures together. Throughout the story, they discover new and much stronger fairy transformations and magical powers, battle against evil and support Bloom as she tries to discover her origins helped by her best and closest friends.

The members of the Winx Club are:

• Bloom, the fairy of the almighty, all-powerful Dragon Flame. While she originally thought she was only a simple Earth girl, she was actually revealed to be the last survivor and princess of the planet Domino that was destroyed by evil forces sixteen years before the series began. Her love interest and boyfriend is Sky.

• Stella, the fairy of the shining sun. She is the crown princess of the world Solaria, and was the first one to meet and befriend Bloom and caused her to fully embrace her innate magical abilities as a fairy. Her love interest and boyfriend is Brandon. Stella can do fashion spells.

• Musa, the fairy of music. She is from planet Melody, the world of all music. Her boyfriend is Riven.

• Tecna, the fairy of technology. She is from planet Zenith, the realm of technology. Her boyfriend is Timmy.

• Flora, the fairy of nature. She is from planet Lynphea, the world of nature. Her boyfriend is Helia.

• Aisha (or Layla), the fairy of waves. She is from the world Andros, where she is the princess and officially joined the group in the second season. Her first boyfriend was Nabu who died and her second boyfriend is Roy.

• Roxy, the fairy of animals. She was the last terrestrial fairy of Earth and is currently studying at Alfea College in order to become a full-fledged fairy of animals and eventual Guardian fairy of her home world. She is the daughter of Morgana, the previous Queen of the terrestrial fairies and the Crown Princess of Tir Nan Og, the Earth fairies main world. She is randomly shown in the fifth and sixth season in places such as Alfea, at parties and on Earth.

• Daphne, the supreme nymph of Sirenix; an ancient sea/ocean-themed transformation and great magical power of the fairies. She is also Bloom's elder sister and the crown princess of the world Domino. Many years previously, Daphne as a nymph had battled the Ancestral Witches to save the infinite ocean. Unfortunately, the witches had put an evil curse upon her immense Sirenix powers, which had caused her to become a transparent and ghostly spirit without a physical body. Thanks to Bloom's Sirenix wish to have the dark curse of Sirenix broken, Daphne is successfully restored to a living and corporeal body of solid flesh and blood at long last.

• The Trix is a trio of witches composed of Icy, Darcy and Stormy, who are three sisters descended from the ancient witches who destroyed Bloom's home planet and who want to carry on the mission of their ancestors: acquire the power of the Dragon Flame and use it to rule the universe.

• Lord Darkar is an ancient creature of evil who is back in Season 2 and who wants to acquire the ultimate power to rule the universe.

• Valtor is the villain in the third season. He is a wizard who wants to become the most powerful sorcerer of the universe and was created from an evil spark of the mighty and powerful Dragon Flame by the Ancestral Witches and served them when they destroyed Domino. He was imprisoned in the Omega Dimension by Bloom's parents. But after the Trix freed him he wants to get his revenge on all the ones who helped in defeating him.

• The Ancestral Witches are three ancient witches who wanted to acquire the Dragon Flame for themselves and destroyed Domino to obtain it. However, they were defeated and Domino became a frozen and desolate wasteland. They are the main villains of The Secret of the Lost Kingdom, where they attempted to destroy Bloom and all of Domino forever. In Winx Club 3D: Magical Adventure they disrupted the balance of magic in the magical universe by attempting to wipe out all good magic with the help of the Trix, but are defeated by the Winx Club in an exceptionally powerful Believix convergence spell.

• The Wizards of the Black Circle are four ancient wizards who wiped out magic from Earth by capturing all the Earth fairies. Their names are Ogron, Gantlos, Anagan and Duman. The Winx Club, except Roxy, had to acquire the Believix transformation to fight them.

• Tritannus is Aisha's first cousin and a merman prince of the seas of Andros who is the main villain for season five. He attempted to kill his twin brother, Nereus, who was made Crown Prince and was sent to a prison where he met the Trix and with their help escaped and attempted to find a way to the Infinite Ocean where she seeks to obtain the power of the Emperor's Throne that will make him invincible. The Winx Club had to achieve an ancient marine transformation fight him, Sirenix.

• Selina is a young freshman witch from Earth who joined Cloud Tower in Season 6 who possesses a magical book called the Legendarium that can make legends become real. She allies with the Trix when they take control of Cloud Tower, but she is secretly working for and obeying the orders of an evil wizard imprisoned in the Legendarium by the name of Acheron. She is an old friend of Bloom`s.

There are two different Winx Club plots, listed as follows:

• The original story-line, which was produced by Rainbow S.R.L., was mainly focused on Bloom's story.
  • The series went through a reboot after Rainbow S.R.L. partnered with Nickelodeon, where the first and second season were made into four special 1 hour episodes (3 for season 1 & 1 for season 2) and the third and fourth seasons were dubbed again, following the original story-line, albeit with minor differences.
• The commonly called 4Kids version which, as part of 4Kids Entertainment's policy of adapting foreign animated shows to an American audience, was heavily edited and often diverged from the original story-line, including name changes (such as the original name of Bloom's planet of origin, Domino, which was replaced by Sparks in the 4Kids version; Aisha was named Layla in the most dubs), as changes in the role of characters (such as Daphne, who is Bloom's older sister whose role was changed to that of being only a nymph protecting both the mighty Dragon Fire and Bloom's crown by 4Kids) and changes in the character and personality of characters; (Tecna was given a British accent and Musa was given a hip hop-like personality by 4Kids.)

Bloom, a supposedly ordinary girl from planet Earth, lives a perfectly normal life in the city of Gardenia with her mother, father and her pet rabbit, Kiko, until she stumbles upon Stella, a princess from the planet Solaria, who is in trouble. Coming to Stella's aid, Bloom discovers her dormant magical abilities when she dodges a group of monsters and attacks an ogre. Stella persuades Bloom to join Alfea, a college for fairies in the Magical Dimension. She agrees to go to Alfea and leaves Gardenia and her parents. At Alfea, Bloom forms the "Winx Club", whose members are her four friends and roommates: Stella, and the three friends she meets at Alfea: Musa, Tecna, and Flora. A mythical creature called Daphne keeps appearing in Bloom's dreams. Later in the series, they encounter and befriend the Specialists: Brandon, Riven, Timmy and Sky, who also become the group's love interests. They also make enemies, including a trio of witches calling themselves the Trix: Icy, Darcy, and Stormy. The Trix are witches from Cloud Tower, a college for witches and dark magic that is roughly equivalent to Alfea, and are in search of the vastly limitless energy and power of the Dragon flame, which is supposedly in Stella's magic scepter. However, they realize that the mighty and powerful Dragon Fire is the very source of Bloom's magical strength and abilities, which they steal from her. They summon the Army of Decay, which they send to Red Fountain and Alfea. The witches from Cloud Tower and the Red Fountain Heroes join Alfea and together they defeat the Trix. During that time, Bloom figures out that the Dragon flame was in her the whole time. Bloom also begins to learn the secrets of her home world, Domino; birth parents; magical abilities; and that Daphne is her biological older sister. Bloom is heartbroken by Brandon, who appears to be Prince Sky as he and the real Brandon switched identities, but she ends up forgiving Sky at the end of the season.

The Trix are sent to Light Haven, a place to turn evil minds pure and good. Bloom, Stella, Flora, Tecna and Musa discover a new fairy, Aisha, who's the fairy of water/waves and Morphix fluids from planet Tides and she becomes the sixth member of the Winx Club. Lord Darkar releases the Trix from Light Haven and increases their powers. Aisha tells the others about how the pixies are being held as Lord Darkar's prisoners. Aisha, Bloom, Stella, Brandon and Sky go on a mission to Lord Darkar's lair, Shadow Haunt, to rescue the pixies Lockette, Amore, Chata, Digit, and Tune. At an opening of the new Red Fountain, Flora meets her love interest, Helia. Lord Darkar is after four pieces of a magical artifact called Codex, which allows one to enter the realm of Realix and gain the Ultimate Power. Bloom wants to know more about her birth parents, King Oritel and Queen Marion, and her lost kingdom, but Darkar gives her a shadow virus. The virus turns Bloom evil and she begins to taunt Timmy. After Lord Darkar realizes that he needs more magical strength and power to open the gateway to Realix, he instructs Avalon to turn Bloom evil once again. Darkar ditches the Trix and accepts Dark Bloom as his main witch. When they get to Realix, he tells Dark Bloom to give him the Ultimate Power so he can rule. Dark Bloom has almost completed the spell when the Winx arrive, along with the Specialists, Faragonda, Griffin, and Codatorta. Sky tells Dark Bloom his true feelings for her, which changes Bloom back into her normal self, and Bloom and the Winx Club use an exceptionally powerful Charmix Convergence spell to defeat Darkar once and for all.

Previously banished to the Omega Dimension, the Trix are able to escape with Valtor, an evil sorcerer partially responsible for the destruction of Bloom's home planet,Domino. They choose to cooperate and plan to invade several areas in the realm of Magix and seek vengeance on those who imprisoned them by stealing their exceptionally strong, powerful, magical and mystical treasures and immeasurable power sources of each realm. With their newly strong and powerful Enchantix powers, Flora, Stella, Aisha, Tecna, and Musa are able to use strong, incredible power and can miniaturize themselves. Bloom, however, cannot miniaturize herself due to the fact that her Enchantix is not complete. The Winx begin their third and final year at Alfea, learning about their unique Enchantix transformations, acquired by selflessly sacrificing themselves for someone from their home world (or even everyone from every world, in what ends up being Tecna's case) and showing great courage in doing so. With no one from her home planet to save, Bloom must acquire her Enchantix form and tremendous power on Pyros, the island of dragons. She also learns more about her home world of Domino, as well as the truth about where her birth parents, Oritel and Marion, are.

Taking place after the events of "Secret of the Lost Kingdom", the Winx Club are back at Alfea as teachers. Faragonda also teaches them that there are endless infinite stages of fairy evolution and transformation, of which they learn about a new evolved fairy transformation and power called "Believix", which can only be accessed when people in a non-magical world start to truly believe in magic. To try to help the people on Earth believe in magic, the Winx open a magical pet store called 'Love & Pet'. During their time on Earth, they also bump into four wizards known as the Wizards of The Black Circle, a group who have trapped all of the fairies of Earth and are back to get one they unknowingly left behind. The Winx and Specialists have to track the wizards back to Gardenia and save the last terrestrial fairy, Roxy, while also trying to get people on Earth to believe in magic once again. Roxy is then captured, but soon thereafter believes in fairies and helps the Winx Club to earn their Believix form and powers. On a trip to discover Roxy's past, the Winx Club also discover Nebula's White Circle, something which helps to defeat the Black Circle but also controls Roxy. Soon after the Winx must earn the three gifts of destiny; two of which are Sophix and Lovix. The first is Sophix a gift given by the ethereal fairies used to revive nature from deforestation and calm Diana. The second gift is the give of heart Lovix made from pure ice and snow it will allow the Winx to fight Aurora. After successfully freeing the Earth fairies who turn out to want nothing but revenge, Morgana and her friends will stop at nothing to wage war against all of humans. Bloom also challenges Nebula to a fight, in which if Bloom wins the fairies will stop attacking and go home but if she loses all is lost. After the fight, the black gift is given and can be used to revive someone from death. Nebula and the wizards determination to fight left Nabu for dead, which causes Aisha to seek revenge. In the final battle, it is revealed that Roxy's mother is Morgana. After the Winx Club freeze the wizards in solid ice, Nebula is crowned as their new queen due Morgana choosing to abdicate and live in Gardenia. Aisha mourns Nabu, but later returns to the seven Winx Club girls who fly off into the sunset, heading back to Alfea.

The Winx Club embark on a mission to achieve Sirenix, an ancient transformation, that can be used in the water, on land or in the air, unlike Believix which can only be used on land or in the air. It is strong enough to defeat the evil, power-mad merman Tritannus and the Trix. The Trix's main leader, Icy falls deeply in love with Tritannus and he with her, while the two other Trix members-Darcy and Stormy- are frustrated and angry with their strong romantic relationship. There are two new evolutionary fairy transformations in this season: Harmonix and Sirenix. The ancient Book of Sirenix gave them six Sirenix Boxes that holds guardians inside them to help them gain Sirenix and much, much stronger Harmonix abilities and spells. Before they achieve Sirenix, however, they must find the Gem of Self-Confidence, the Gem of Empathy, and the Gem of Courage; otherwise they would lose their magical powers. and they still terrible and hopeless at fighting and their still weak.

There is a dark and evil curse upon Sirenix that had left Bloom's older sister, Daphne, a disembodied spirit. There is the ancient Book of Sirenix that helps them gain full access to Sirenix, but there is a problem when they open the book. For instance, Tecna opens it and it transforms her into a terrifying robotic version of her self, making a mess in the Magic Archive the library in Alfea when she uses its tremendous power to defend herself. Daphne is the last fairy to achieve Sirenix's ocean/sea-based transformation and enormous power until the Winx Club gain full access to Sirenix and cross the gate into the infinite ocean itself. Finally, the Winx gain Sirenix after activating the source of the power in Lake Roccaluce where Daphne lives due to her connection to Sirenix. Daphne gets locked up in a prison cell under the mighty Emperor's throne after Tritannus has taken away her Sirenix powers and given them to the Trix-Icy, Darcy and Stormy-as a witch-themed version. The Trix gain dark Sirenix with the help of Tritannus (because he had absorbed Daphne's Sirenix abilities with his trident) and plan to defeat the Winx Club. Tritannus is also second son of king Neptune had turned into evil from his merman form. His tail also has purple pollution track but doesn't stay. He refuels by taking in toxic pollution (oil, gas, trash, acid, and garbage) with his trident from the help of Icy and her two hesitant sisters.

During this season there was a lot of trouble between all of the Winx Club couples but it was mainly focusing on Bloom and Sky. For the first half of the season Sky lost his memory but later reigned it, later Diaspro came back and she started to come between Bloom and Sky since her had become the kings new liaison. Stella is wanting to become a fashion designer but it was also affecting her relationship with Brandon since she would not listen to what he had to say, Musa is starting to think that Riven is cheating on her with another fairy, Tecna and Timmy's relationship was good but they are spending too much time chatting through their phones and not having any real time together. Aisha is still missing Nabu since his death from Season 4 but is also starting to develop feelings for a new Specialist named Roy who is also developing feelings for her and Krystal a new fairy at Alfea is starting to come between Flora and Helia and it turns out that she and Helia are childhood friends.

Roxy was not a main character in this season, but did appear as a minor recurring character, as she just began her first year at Alfea. She will appear more often in future episodes. Upset that he cannot activate the tremendous, boundless and limitless power of the Emperor's Throne, Tritannus must take the mystical seals of the pillars of light, balance and control. Tritannus steals the seal of the Pillar of Light, and Stella restores the pillar by concentrating and thinking of the ones who makes her strong-her father and mother- and she unleashes her special Sirenix spell,Light of Sirenix. Tritannus then steals the seal of the Pillar of Balance. He almost fails when the Winx try to ambush both him and Icy, but thanks to Stormy and Darcy controlling the Singing Whales to attack the Winx, they are able to escape. However, they do not thank the other two Trix, much to Darcy and Stormy's dismay. Musa saves the whales by singing to them with her spell Voice of Sirenix. With two seals gone from two pillars, the next is the pillar of control to finally activate the emperor's throne. To prevent Tritannus from activating the throne, the Winx Club decide to destroy the seal of the pillar of control. After finding out that the seal is destroyed, Tritannus plans to steal Politea's (an old and best friend of Daphne's) enormous Sirenix energy and abilities to activate the Emperor's throne.

However, he is not the only one who is looking for her: Darcy and Stormy are done with Tritannus and want her tremendously powerful Sirenix energy and abilities for themselves, but Bloom is also looking for her to find a way to break the Sirenix curse on both her and Daphne. Darcy and Stormy succeed and leave Icy. Tritannus plans a big attack on the Winx at the Pillar of light. Luckily the Winx are not alone; they are helped by Tressa, Nereus and the selkies. Tritannus kills Nereus with his trident but is resurrected thanks to Aisha's wish. While distracted, Tritannus kidnaps Aisha and brings her to the throne but is followed by Bloom. Tritannus promises Icy that she will soon be empress, and he than steals Aisha's Sirenix abilities to activate the throne. He becomes completely corrupted and overwhelmed by the limitless power of the Emperor's throne and attacks Icy, but she is protected by her sisters and breaks up with Tritannus. Bloom finds out that the key to defeating Tritannus is destroying his trident; she does this by using her special Fire of Sirenix ability. Defeated, Tritannus is banished from the entire magical universe and sent to the Gate of Oblivion as punishment for his actions. Bloom then used her Sirenix wish for the Sirenix curse to broken for all eternity; thus restoring Daphne to her living, physical body of solid flesh and blood at long last. The season ends with a concert from the Winx Club on Andros and with Bloom happily dancing with Daphne. Their parents join in their celebrations in a loving hug at the end.

A new freshman witch named Selina, who is from Earth, enrolls at Cloud Tower. She owns an extremely powerful and dangerous magical book called the Legendarium and through it she is able to make mythical and legendary creatures come alive simply by reading their respective myths aloud. The Trix take over Cloud Tower and make it actually fly in the air, turning Griffin into a crow, then order Selina to summon legendary, mythical creatures out of the Legendarium and unleash them against all of the magic schools and colleges in the magical universe.

As always, Bloom leads the Winx Club against the witches, but then they all lose all of their mighty Sirenix powers; except for Bloom as her magical abilities are derived from the almighty and inextinguishable Dragon Flame, which is the very source of the magical universe itself. The Winx Club eventually manage to earn even much stronger and much more powerful magical abilities and spells from the mighty Dragon Flame energies that Bloom had generously given them. The evolved fairy transformation and vast magical power is called Bloomix, due to their newly acquired magical powers and spells coming from the almighty, limitless Dragon Flame itself. Flora was the first to earn her Bloomix by bravely saving her younger sister, Miele. Stella and Aisha acquired their Bloomix after their bravery and quick thinking of defeating the flying basilisk. Finally Musa and Tecna by working together after their quick thinking of defeating the Pandemonium Sprites. In the end of the fifth episode, Diaspro made an alliance with the Trix for revenge on Bloom. Bloom's powers are growing weaker through sharing her almighty Dragon Flame with the five other Winx Club girls. However, after she passed the test of the historical Vortex of Flames, all of her magical powers are fully restored and she finally earns her Bloomix form and vast powers.

Later on, the Winx Club will achieve another evolved fairy transformation and immense magical power called Mythix, which will enable them to actually enter the Legendarium itself and make them strong enough to stop Selina from releasing the dark wizard Acheron from the Legendarium and put the evil book under lock and key once and for all.

In the first season, everyone is endowed their regular Winx/fairy form. This basic form usually consists of a sparkly cropped top and miniskirt or, in Stella's case, short-shorts. However, some Winx/fairy forms consist of a sparkly dress or jumpsuit, which are clear examples of Flora and Tecna's Winx/fairy forms. Also, they usually, but not always, bear some sort of accessory on their arms such as wristbands, arm warmers, or gloves. They also sometimes wear a matching hair ornament such as a tiara, and their hair is occasionally tied while in this form. They also don boots or, most often, heeled shoes and sprout a pair of small, membranous, fluttering wings. Winx fairies cannot cover long distances, and they are incapable of agile flight (see picture of the characters with their pixies). It is not the strongest and most powerful form, as it only allows a fairy to use basic spells and attacks; but in a special case like Bloom, she can unleash her Dragon Flame abilities, which happens to be extremely intense, as seen in the final battle between Bloom and Icy in the first season and get even stronger fairy magic and abilities.

In the second season, they attain their second fairy transformation and great magical power, Charmix. They earn their Charmix by doing something that enables them to get in touch with their innermost self. However, they still wear their regular Winx/fairy outfits, but now they have a jeweled charm on their chest with a small gem, and a small purse or waist bag that sits on the hips of their miniskirt or mini-shorts. However, in Flora's case, she has a shoulder bag and not a waist bag like the others do. Charmix grants the girls even stronger and more effective magical abilities. and they so bad at fighting with it. The witches' Gloomix power boost is equal to Charmix in strength. For some unexplained reason, the Winx Club did not use their Charmix powers at all in the beginning of the third season; not even during the time before they all achieved their Enchantix.

In the third season, they obtain their Enchantix, which is their full-fledged fairy form. In their Enchantix form, the girls are stronger and have larger, elegant fairy wings, which enable them to fly higher and longer distances, cleave through strong storms, and out-fly predators and opponents. They also are able to miniaturize approximately to a size of a Pixie and have a fairy dust vial around their neck, usually suspended by a choker; the vial contains and keeps sealed their fairy dust of healing and spell-breaking properties. However, in Bloom's case she uses her fairy dust vial to store the magical essence of Pyros, as shown in The Omega Mission when the Winx and the Specialists are boarding the ship for flight back to Alfea. An Enchantix typically consists of above-the-elbow translucent gloves and barefoot sandals. They wear a short dress or a small top with a miniskirt or, for Tecna, mini shorts. Their hair grows longer and is elaborately arranged in loose tresses and high bunches; Tecna has a razored bob and Musa wears long pigtails. A fairy earns her Enchantix by saving someone from her home world, with a self-sacrifice on her part (excluding Bloom and Tecna- Bloom had willed herself into her Enchantix {though it is incomplete and she is unable to use some abilities, like miniaturization}, and Tecna sacrificed her life to seal the Omega dimension portal thus saving Andros and the entire magical universe. One does not actually have to be on one's home world when doing this. Enchantix is said to be "the maximum or final fairy form that leads a fairy to her infinite energy" in the third season, making a complete, full-fledged fairy out of her, and also allowing her to achieve higher powers such as Believix, which gives her additional abilities, and Sirenix, which is more powerful than Enchantix.

Headmistress Faragonda is said to have already reached her Enchantix form and power-level. They also have a movie using Enchantix, Secret Of The Lost Kingdom, where Bloom goes on a mission to save the people of Domino, including her birth parents, and finally earn her complete Enchantix powers. It is also believed that Daphne, Bloom's elder sister, had somehow skipped her Winx/fairy and Charmix forms and went straight from Enchantix to Harmonix and then Sirenix, which had cost her her physical body entirely due the dark curse from the three Ancient Witches. Enchantix is also the most elegant and "fairy-like" of all the transformations of fairies. Also, Enchantix transformation sequences are the longest and most reflective of the girls' unique magical powers and fairy symbols (Bloom being surrounded by the Great Dragon, Stella being shrouded by sunlight, and Tecna's Enchantix outfit "digitally and electronically" appearing).

In the fourth season, all of the Winx Club fairies move on from their Enchantix forms to their Believix, entering a more advanced fairy stage with larger wings and additional special abilities, including the ability to make people believe in magic. The focus of this form is that the more people on Earth believe in magic, the stronger the Winx Club's Believix power gets to help them defeat the enemy. Believix comes with three additional special wings: Speedix that enables them to fly at considerable speeds through the air, Zoomix that enables them to teleport across short or long distances, and Tracix that allows them to see glimpses of the past.

The transformation consists of each girl being shown in a less-glittery outfit that is similar to their Believix outfits. First, each girl is shown from the shoulders up, then a large flower is shown in front of them, then the flower opens, showing the girl in their Sophix outfit and then completing the transformation. The sandals are like Enchantix barefoot sandals. The outfits consist of a skirt or flowery caprices. All of them have a pastel jungle theme to them. The shoes are strappy sandals and the wings are basically the same as the Believix, but not as intricately detailed, being more leaf-like and petal-like. When Diana, the Major Fairy of Nature, decides to take part in the Great Revenge of the Earth Fairies, the Ethereal Fairies give them the Gifts of Destiny because Believix powers are useless against Major Fairies. The Winx used the Sophix powers to bring Diana's forest back to life after the humans harmed it, and to restore the Source of the Forest's magic.It is unknown if this makes Flora more powerful considering the fact she is already the fairy of nature but since the Sophix causes the Fairies to be in complete harmony with Nature is a whole it may make Flora become in complete harmony with all of nature around her, not just the earth, plants and vegetation.

Lovix consists of wintry-themed versions of Believix outfits, with the clothing covering more skin and outlined in fur-like fabrics. The wings are jeweled, have no designs or sparkles, and glow around the edges. When the Winx and Roxy were trapped in the Major Fairy of the North Aurora's palace, the Winx were in Lovix form and protected from the cold, as demonstrated when Roxy began to freeze to death because she did not have a Lovix. The glow on the wings are presumably what keeps them away from the cold. Just like the nature-themed Sophix transformation, Lovix is a temporary fairy evolution and power-up boost of Believix, which can only be earned by Believix fairies.

Harmonix is a temporary transformation after Believix and before Sirenix and it is in the fifth season. Harmonix is the third transformation to be received from a magical source, the first and second being Sophix and Lovix. The Winx use this temporary fairy form to complete their quest for gaining Sirenix. The girls' hair is much longer and tied, except for Tecna's hair which is shorter. The Harmonix outfits' consist of a dress with strap that goes on only one shoulder, a belt, a mini-skirt and a kind of cape attached to the skirts which look similar to mermaids' tails. The girls wear a tiara or a small piece of seashells and jewelries on their hair or bare head, and heels made of two ribbons attached around the feet and legs, with two long floating ribbon strips attached to the heels at knee level. Harmonix gives the Winx large multi-layered and transparent colorful wings and some effects. It is a temporary transformation until they had finally managed to achieve Sirenix to defeat their enemy Tritannus and his allies, the Trix.

Sirenix is the second transformation of the fifth season. In the fifth season, the Winx Club later evolved into Sirenix fairies; an ancient ocean/sea-themed power that enables a fairy to accelerate and use her increasingly strong magic and spells properly underwater. Apart from the other seasons which featured one new transformation, the Winx get their Harmonix transformation and abilities from their six Sirenix guardians, which is temporary and will be used only for the quest to gain access to Sirenix. The wings are much larger as Harmonix fairies smaller compared to Believix & Enchantix, but allows the fairies to accelerate faster underwater. As Sirenix, the Winx Club fairy outfits all look alike, only with minor changes and shades of colors. Their hair is tied with several hair bands and accessories with the exception of Tecna. All girls have ballet tutu -like skirts with mermaid skin .They wear leggings with their signature color, and two ribbons attached around the feet and legs act as straps. Their hair also changes color in the water different colors, Bloom is dark red with light blue streaks. Stella is a yellowish green with light purple streaks. Aisha is blonde with light brown streaks, Musa is purple and pink. Flora is pink hair and light brown streaks. Tecna 's blue and light yellow streaks.

When they cross the Infinite Ocean as Sirenix fairies, they got stronger wings, whole new outfits, immensely magnified and strengthened magical abilities and spells, differently colored hair in the water, which also has highlights out of water too. Sirenix is a source of underwater missions.

In the early stages of designing Sirenix, the transformation outfits looked pretty similar to Harmonix, but a lot more Dark and Gothic styled. This style was later changed for a more suitable and original one.

In the sixth season, the Winx Club achieve a new transformation and magical power called "Bloomix" to stop the Trix and Selina, as they had all lost their great Sirenix abilities after first confronting Selina and the Legendarium she possessed. In order for the Winx Club to earn this form, they must perform deeds worthy of a fairy in order for their unique Dragon Flame gems, which Bloom had generously given them, to spark a whole new power within. Each Bloomix transformation has a small veil behind the wings and each girl wears a tiara on their forehead which holds their Dragon Flame Gem.
