No spoilers really
Might write a fic about this but idk
When Merula was five, she had a bad case of the flu during Christmas, and was upset she didn’t get to play in the snow. This is when her mother showed her the snowflake making charm and it became a family tradition since. When she went to the burrow for Christmas she showed the spell to Ginny because she was sick and wanted to play in the snow too.
Handwriting:
Icy: I just see her handwriting as being almost deceptively cute. Like lots of curves and swirls and that kind of thing
Darcy: very uniform, very neat. Everything is the same height. Her handwriting is so neat it looks fake. Her handwriting looks like Arial font. Five pages later and it is still neat.
Stormy: Just a hot mess. She writes like she was in a rush and it just gets worse as the page goes on. Even she can't decipher what she wrote sometimes.
The trix do NOT share clothes with each other. For one, their styles are different enough that they don't really have any desire to. They actually respect each others belongings and don't go through each others things. They do really trust each other. If they did want to borrow something they would ask the other sister first and let them be the one to grab it. They may be evil and competitive, but they respect each other's space (side eye to my sister)
Birthdays:
(Note: in my mind the trix are sisters, but not triplets. I'm sorry there is no way Stormy and Icy are the same age)
Icy: December 13th - Idk she just definitely has a December birthday and 13 felt right. She was not born on a Friday the 13th, but she lies and says she was. No one is going back and doing the math anyway
Darcy: October 4th - She definitely felt like an October Libra to me, so here we are. No reason for the 4, I just felt like it should be an even number for her. she is born ten months after Icy and for the short time they have the same age they have a lot of tension between them
Stormy: May 5th - Despite being my favorite trix (and winx character) and the one I have the most headcanons for I have very few opinions on when Stormy's birthday should be. May 5th is the date listed for all of them in the wiki and the date just felt so wrong for Icy and Darcy so she got to keep it. She is about 19 months younger than Darcy if I am doing the math right. (Because she is clearly the youngest and I will fight anyone on this)
pretend I put #10
I don't have any headcanon on what Stormy's sexuality is (besides not straight), but she is the disaster version of it
Icy won't acknowledge this but she is the mom of the group. She is the one Darcy and Stormy come to with their problems for her to fix.
She is also the healer of the group and uses her ice to treat injuries. I recently watched the 4kids dub for the first time and in the "crappy pixies beating the trix via the power of having the same proportions as a funko pop" episode, Stormy calls the ice put on her eyes "the soothing ice," which I am choosing to interpret as this is something that Icy does often for her sisters
How they would react to april fools jokes. Because today is april fools day.
Icy: Murder
Darcy: Darcy would be able to tell as Stormy someone is walking up to her that they are going to be trying to trick her just by the look on their face. After they do their most convincing joke she would just stare at them until they assume it was a bad idea and go away
Stormy: Would be wholeheartedly tricked they first time and then she would be super paranoid for the rest of the day
I finally finished my first multi-chapter fic and decided to post it here too.
After taking a deep breath Icy raised her fist to knock at the door. She shouldn’t feel so nervous. She was here to comfort her sister. Why did she feel so uneasy?
Icy knocked gently. She wasn’t sure if Stormy had heard her, and was about to try again when she heard Stormy say “Go away.” It was obvious from her voice that she had been crying again. She sounded so weak and upset and… wet?
“Stormy, I’m sorry. Can I come in?” Icy responded gently. No response. I guess we really are doing this all over again. Icy hesitantly opened the door, half expecting Stormy to throw something at her out of frustration. Instead, Stormy was once again in her bundle of blankets on the bed.
Her sister didn’t try to hide in the blankets like she had last time. In fact, she refused to acknowledge Icy’s presence at all. Stormy was laying on her side, her eyes focused on a random spot on the wall. Icy could see the tear stains on Stormy’s cheeks and her eyes were red and puffy. There was no way she could mess this up again.
Icy sat on the side of the bed again, the same spot she was in before. Icy set the food she brought next to her.
“Stormy,” Icy whispered. Stormy closed her eyes again and squeezed them shut, in an effort to keep new tears forming. “Stormy I’m sorry.” Stormy’s eyes shot open, still not looking at Icy. “You needed help and I freaked out and left. I’m sorry. I should have been there for you.” Stormy didn’t react to Icy’s words but she knew that her sister heard them.
Icy took the silence as a cue to keep talking. Words poured from her. “I know everything that we went through this past year has been hard on you. I’m your big sister. I’m supposed to protect you. I just keep doing it wrong. I shouldn’t have walked out on you. I just got overheated and… it was just too much. It’s not your fault. I should have paid attention more. Darcy and I… we care about you. I know we give you a hard time a lot, especially Darcy. But she really does care about you. You shouldn’t have to be scared around us or on guard around us. I’ll try to do better and I’ll make sure Darcy does too. You’re a really great sister Stormy. I know I don’t tell you that enough. You're sweet and funny and pretty…”
Icy turned her head to look at Stormy. Apparently, Icy had been so engrossed in her speech that she didn’t realize that Stormy was now sitting up. The two girls looked at each other in silence. Stormy’s eyes were filled with hope, but it was obvious she was still nervous that this was all some sort of trick.
“I-I brought some food,” Icy said, grabbing something random and handing it to Stormy. A half smushed granola bar. Icy really should have brought something better. “I assumed you hadn’t eaten since yesterday,” Icy offered as an explanation. Stormy gingerly took the bar from her and started eating it.
To fill the silence Icy started speaking again. “I know I’ve messed up in the past, but I want to try to make it up to you now. Just tell me how and I’ll do it.” Stormy looked down and started mumbling again. She was about to start crying again. This was Icy’s second chance.
Before her sister could move she pulled her into a hug. Once safely in her older sister’s arms, Stormy allowed herself to cry. It was the same reckless sobbing as before with tears bleeding through her shirt, but this time Stormy had Icy rubbing her back and whispering reassurances in her ear. It didn’t take long for Icy to get overheated again, a common trait for magical beings whose powers were based on ice, but this time she refused to pull away. It was uncomfortable, but she would sacrifice comfort for her sister.
After a little while Stormy calmed down and pulled away from Icy to sit up. Tears completely covered her cheeks. Icy awkwardly tried to use the back of her hand to wipe the tears away, but just ended up spreading them around more. Stormy chuckled slightly at this and wiped the rest of her tears away herself.
“I’m sorry about all of this,” Stormy said quietly.
“Stormy, don’t worry about it. It’s fine.” Icy responded truthfully.
“No, it's all my fault anyway. This wouldn’t have happened to you,” Stormy said, sounding dejected.
“You know, I don’t know what happened on this mission you went on” Icy saw Stormy wince. “Would you tell me what happened?”
Stormy looked hesitant, but started talking shakily. “I-I went to Red Fountain. There was this… concert there. Musa was singing,” Stormy buried her face in her hands. “I’m sorry this is so stupid.”
Stormy started to tear up again. I probably should say something. “Just keep talking,” Icy said, wincing at her words. It came out as an order. She probably should have tried to be gentler.
However, Stormy didn’t seem to notice and kept talking. “She ended up completely overpowering me, and the entire reason I was even there was for revenge because she overpowered me before.” Stormy looked down and closed her eyes, causing tears to drip down her cheeks. It hurt Icy to see her little sister like this.
“I’m sorry you’re upset. I can understand that—”
“No! You don’t know!” Stormy cut in, causing Icy to jump slightly. “You don’t know what it’s like to always be the weakest, always be the worst. I can’t defeat one fairy even with a stupid power up!” Stormy started crying again. “It’s just… I don’t want things to be like this anymore.”
This was…a lot. How was Icy supposed to comfort her sister without flat out lying to her? Stormy was the weakest. Losing one on one to a fairy with a power up was pathetic. The only time Icy lost one on one with a fairy was when she fought the fairy of the dragon flame. What was she supposed to say to make her feel better? I’m sorry you suck?
Stormy looked at Icy, expecting her to say something, but she was at a loss for words. The silence became uncomfortable. Icy sat stone faced, hoping that the right words would miraculously come to her. Why did she ever think she could do this?
“Icy?” Stormy hesitantly asked. “Just don’t leave again.”
Icy turned to meet Stormy’s eyes. “I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say to make you feel better,” Icy responded truthfully. “I’m not really good at all this emotional stuff.”
“It’s fine,” Stormy said, wiping the remaining tears from her face. “Thanks for trying. I do feel better though.”
“I’m glad it worked a little.”
Stormy laughed softly. “...So, did you change your shirt because of me?”
“Oh, uh yeah,” Icy said looking down at the fresh wet patch on her new shirt. “Looks like I’ll have to change it again.” Stormy smiled slightly at this.
The two girls sat next to each other in amicable silence. “Things are different now,” Stormy said quietly.
Icy turned to look at her sister. “Yeah, they are.” Icy paused. “I think that’s how it’s supposed to be though. Things are always changing.”
“I don’t think I like it.”
“I’ll always be there for you. That will never change.”
Stormy shifted closer to her sister. “Thanks Icy.”
“It’s what a sister is supposed to do.”
Which winx girl each of them is most jealous of
Icy: Aisha or Stella: has always wanted to be royalty, hence why she makes Knut refers to the Trix as highnesses. She's more jealous of all royals getting power, status, and nice things without having to work for it. I did not include Bloom because let's face it: Icy would rather die than live without magic
Darcy: Musa: Yes, because of Riven. She would lie and say she is most jealous of Stella if asked.
Stormy: Bloom: Bloom is the beloved leader of the Winx and Stormy is very much the punching bag of the Trix. She would kill for people to treat her like they treat Bloom
Real names/ how they got their nicknames
Icy: Her real name is Icobel, pronounced Isobel (her mother was quirky) She essentially one day at around 13 or something was like "I am going to go as Icy now" and everyone around her was like "yeah sure whatever"
Darcy: Her real name was Darcella, and it was shortened to Darcy pretty immediately. She never really went by her real name
Stormy: Her real name is Beatrix, just because I think it is really funny. The only good thing about Fate was that it proved what some of us already knew: the trix are the best part of winx club. As a child she was nicknamed Stormy whenever she was angry as a joke, but over time it just sort of became her name.
(Can I even call these headcanons anymore? At this point it basically is it's own AU)
