Darcy is by far my least favorite trix simply because growing up she was my sister's favorite trix. I want to write a fic where she is a jerk to Stormy for this reason alone.
Idk I just headcanon her as being the worst of the trix. Not only to the winx, but to her sisters as well. (But mostly Stormy because she is my favorite) I mean I can just see her as being good at noticing people's insecurities and playing to them.
Dancing skills:
Icy: No one will ever know. She is too self conscious to try. She will act like she is too cool for it (pun intended) but in reality she doesn't want people watching her.
Darcy: Also will not dance, but she does know she is bad. I just think it would be really funny if she is completely in control emotionally and is a skilled manipulator, but if you put her on the dance floor she is an uncoordinated mess.
Stormy: Like in season 8 I think she is just a randomly good dancer. Like normal people I don't really consider seasons 5-8 cannon, but I just think this is really funny. Her being good at dance us really random, but it fits her well. She can destroy anyone at just dance.
Two years later and I finally wrote my first fic based on a head canon I posted almost two years ago
What do they think of the nickname "the trix"?
Icy: Icy loves it. She is proud that she and her sisters are so intimidating they were given a name that strikes fear into the hearts of others. Definitely one of her proudest achievements. Also her only real achievement
Darcy: She thinks it is an incredibly stupid name and is low key embarrassed that no one could think of anything better. And that was before she found out it was the name of a cereal. That was a depressing day for her
Stormy: Doesn't really think about it. She probably doesn't know that other people made it up. She just assumed that Icy made it up to seem cool (because she would)
Broken bones because I also realized I have opinions on this
Icy: Has never broken a bone in her life. She is terrified that one day she will, but would never admit this out loud. She doesn't admit any of her fears out loud and makes you feel inferior if you do.
Darcy: In the cinelume dub (I think) she breaks her nose when the trix are trying to summon the power from Stella's ring. It gets fixed immediately when they do that reverse spell. Maybe she would have also broken a finger at some point. I can't really picture it breaking any major limbs. (In the comics she breaks her leg, but I don't feel like counting that today)
Stormy: She has probably broken her arm as a kid at some point and it was probably Icy and/or Darcy's fault, but they would deny it
But why do they have the same proportions. The pixies becoming large just made me realize how big their heads were
This is why they called the spinoff Pop Pixie
How talented at magic each girl is
Icy: She has above average raw power. I see her as being more innovative with her powers and I like to think she created the spells she used instead of learning them from others or from books. All those different ice shapes were her own creation
Darcy: Raw power wise she is actually average. However, she put in the time to improve her powers and abilities. She tends to do things very by the book and focuses on technique. None of her spells are original, but she has perfected a very large variety
Stormy: In terms of raw power she has the most, however she doesn't have the same levels of technique or experience as Icy or Darcy. She relies on strong tornados and lightning strikes, but can't manipulate them very well without lots of focus. She has the most trouble controlling her powers and understanding them because she only got a half year at cloud tower before being expelled. She isn't stupid, she just hasn't had the same educational opportunities
Greatest fears (or one of them)
Icy: Her greatest fear is loss of power. She can deal with failure and rejection (she is used to it by now), but she would not be able to cope with loss of power. Not only her magic powers, but the power she has over others. She needs her sisters to be looking up to her. She needs to be the leader.
Darcy: Darcy would be most scared of loss of control. Darcy is a strategist and plans everything out beforehand. She is very conscious of everything she does and not having control would be stressful and demeaning for her
Stormy: Stormy would be most scared of getting left behind. She is scared of her sisters abandoning her because they see her as stupid and impulsive. She is scared to do things by herself and figure out how to live independently. She has major FOMO

I wrote my first winx club fanfic. (of the trix of course) Check it out if you want. I tried
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 find this photo of the trix so funny
Icy and Stormy are putting effort into posing, meanwhile Darcy is just holding out her arm
I keep imagining they were told to pose with the gloomix and Darcy just raises her arm slightly all "what more do you want from me?"
No effort was put in on her part and I think that's beautiful
