In this one too, she just looks disappointed
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
As a kid I only had seasons 1 and 2 of the cinelume dub on netflix as I kid. I low key didn't know they made any other seasons until years. I grew up thinking they were sisters and didn't consider any other interpretation.
I watched the show with my younger sister and we both loved the trix. Sister relationships are special and evil sister relationships were better. Yes we are evil, but we also do sort of love each other maybe 40% of the time and care about each other about 80% of the time.
My sister was/is very similar to Stormy in personality and I would probably be more similar to Icy. Because of this the Icy and Stormy sister relationship has been my favorite to think and write about.
I just personally like reading and writing about sister relationships. I am totally willing to ignore evidence in favor of my happiness in cases such as this.
Even when considering an interpretation where they are not sisters, I still would want them to be related, like third or fourth cousins. I always thought it was interesting if fairies prioritized friends while witches prioritized family. I don't have a reason, I just like it
So anyway, yes, fuck the willow tree. I am going to choose to believe that was a translation error and live happily in my delusion forever
Heights:
Icy: 5'4/162.5cm : She just seems average height to me. Of course she appears taller because of the hair and the heels
Darcy: 5'7/170cm : This one was hard because I imagine her as quite tall, but I don't imagine riven as super tall and there is no way season one Riven would date someone who isn't at least a couple inches shorter than him. He has too big of an ego.
Stormy: 5'0/ 152cm: Stormy is small. I just love the idea of her being short and angry. It's just too funny. If she is not the shortest in the reboot I will scream.
I did indeed have that in mind
Crying
Icy: Doesn't cry. How dare you assume that. That's...ridiculous
Darcy: We actually see her cry in the show, and I believe that she would be a full blown ugly cryer. Hot mess. Completely smudging her makeup, mascara running down her face. Think that one picture of Kim Kardashian. She doesn't cry that often or that easily though.
Stormy: She tries to cover her face, with her hands or by turning away from her sisters. She is embarrassed that she is crying and as the youngest it worried she will be seen as less than or a crybaby. She also kicks thinks and hits things.
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
Medical impacts because of powers: I just think it is interesting if characters with magic powers are affected by them in other ways, so that is what this is
Icy: Colder average body temperature, always gets fevers if sick (like she doesn't even have to be that sick, anything small can trigger it), gets overheated easily (so she stays away from sweaters and thick fabrics regardless of the weather), but is more resistant to colder temperatures (especially if transformed into her witch form)
Darcy: her eyes are very sensitive to light, which is why she wears the tinted glasses (other people have also pointed this out), She has really good night vision, I like to think her vision is total garbage during the day but at night it is 20/20, once again when in witch form the light effects her less
Stormy: Because of her powers she has epilepsy (because as my favorite she has to suffer), It affected her more when she was younger and couldn't control her powers as well, however she can still have seizures triggered by suppressing her powers or repressing a strong urge to use them (lightrock was fun), Icy and Darcy are very overprotective of her which she kind of likes and is kind of embarrassed by
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
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.
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)
How their goals/lives would have changed without each other. Like if the other two never existed
Icy: For Icy not much would be different. She would still try to get the dragon flame and take over the dimension. I can see her being much more ruthless and bloodthirsty without her sisters. She would be more risky too, since she is only putting herself at risk. I don't think her story would really change until season 3, since Icy would not be competing for attention the same way.
Darcy: I don't think Darcy would be ambitious enough to try to take the dragon flame. I still think she would be manipulative, but she doesn't have any real motivation. She would still go after Riven, but eventually one of them would break it off and she would move on to the next man. This would create a cycle for her where she can't tell if she actually likes someone or if she just wants to manipulate them. Anyway. Angst.
Stormy: Without her sisters to guide her, I just imagine Stormy becoming a background character. She would still have anger issues, but I think without two strong personalities guiding her she would have a normal witch life. She wouldn't do anything remarkable, she would just be ordinary. She would be happier being normal.
