List of Winx Club characters

The main fairies in their 3D designs, clockwise from top right: Tecna, Flora, Stella, Bloom, Aisha, and Musa.

Winx Club is an animated series co-produced by Rainbow SpA and later Nickelodeon. Its characters were created and designed by comic artist Iginio Straffi. The show takes place in a magical dimension where a group of fairy warriors defends their universe from villains. The group, named the Winx Club, attends the Alfea College for Fairies.

The Winx Club is led by Bloom, a student from Earth who thought she was an average human until discovering her flame-based powers. The original group includes Stella, the Fairy of the Sun and Moon (later) Fairy of the Shining Sun; Flora, the Fairy of Nature; Musa, the Fairy of Music; and Tecna, the Fairy of Technology. They share an apartment on the campus of Alfea. The Fairy of Waves, Aisha, is introduced in the second season and becomes the group's sixth member. The Fairy of Animals, Roxy, is introduced in the fourth season and occasionally joins the other fairies.

The characters of Winx Club have become popular with audiences. Critical response to the characters has been positive, with praise for their positive relationships and presentation of gender roles. The characters have appeared in a variety of media, including the spin-off series World of Winx, a comic book serial, and video games. In 2012, new episodes of the series incorporated CGI-animated sequences that rendered the characters in 3D. A live-action series inspired by Winx Club, Fate: The Winx Saga, debuted in 2021 and features some of the original characters.

In the original series (seasons 1–4), the characters' mouths were animated to match the Italian voice actors, who recorded their lines in Rome. The revived series, beginning with the hour-long specials, was produced in English first. The specials and seasons 5–6 were animated to match the Hollywood-based cast, who recorded their lines at the Atlas Oceanic studio. Season 7 was also matched to Nickelodeon and Rainbow's English scripts, but due to budget cuts, Viacom relocated the voice cast from Hollywood to New York City.

Creation and production history

Iginio Straffi developed the Winx Club characters for the short pilot episode "Magic Bloom," which was finished in 2001. The characters' outfits were modeled on those of traditional European fairies, while their appearances were loosely inspired by popular celebrities of the time. In a 2011 interview with IO Donna, Straffi stated Britney Spears served as an inspiration for Bloom, Cameron Diaz for Stella, Jennifer Lopez for Flora, Pink for Tecna, and Lucy Liu for Musa. Straffi wanted the fairies to represent "the women of today" and to look more modern than classic examples like la Fata Turchina.

After holding test screenings of the pilot, Straffi was unhappy with the audience's unenthusiastic reaction to the characters' outdated clothing style. He hired Italian fashion designers to give the characters a more modern appearance. Flora underwent several changes because Straffi felt test audiences disliked her design. She was originally drawn with glasses and a lighter skin tone; for the full series, her glasses were removed and she was given darker skin to look "more Latin". The Winx fairies' male counterparts, the Specialists, were created in response to a request that the series should feature male leads.

According to Iginio Straffi, each of the Winx fairies' personalities were made as different as possible so "teenagers from all over the world can identify themselves with the character they think they are most like". After the premiere of the first season worldwide, the production team heard that American viewers noticed the absence of Black characters in the show. In response, Straffi designed a sixth fairy named Aisha, who has darker skin than the others. Her design was loosely inspired by Beyoncé and she was introduced in the first episode of the second season. The fourth season introduces a seventh member, Roxy, who occasionally joins the other fairies.

After Viacom became a co-owner of the Rainbow studio in 2011, new seasons of Winx Club entered production at Viacom's Nickelodeon Animation Studio and Rainbow. For this relaunched series (which began with four specials that retell Bloom's origin story), Viacom hired popular actors to voice many of the characters. These stars included Ariana Grande as Diaspro, Elizabeth Gillies as Daphne, Keke Palmer as Aisha, Matt Shively as Sky, and Daniella Monet as Mitzi.
