Each girl's favorite scents
Icy: One of those perfumes that "smells" like bamboo, when it really smells like flowers. I can see. her liking a soft, delicate scent
Darcy: Lavender. It's a nice relaxing scent. Also purple. The plant being purple definitely played a part in making it her favorite
Stormy: The smell it makes when it's raining outside. (I'm low on creativity today, sue me) It is actually called petrichor, but Stormy would not know that
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)
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.
Hair:
Icy: She has really thin hair (the ponytail is not helping) The ponytail also pulled her hairline back. However she will never get rid of the ponytail because she thinks it looks cool (pun intended)
Darcy: The best taken care of hair out of the group. Uses hair oils and other fancy stuff. However her hair does lose volume because of the length. She thinks Icy's hair looks ridiculous
Stormy: Her hair is not very well taken care of since as the only person with curly hair in their family she has never learned to take care of it. It's always a struggle with her.
Stormy is extremely cuddly. Icy and Darcy are NOT.
Their mother would always be very open about who was her favorite child at any point in time. It was usually Darcy (because she was a suck up) or Stormy (by default). It was almost never Icy because she was more likely to be blamed for her sister's behavior.
This led to them being so vulnerable to Valtor pinning them against each other later on.
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.
None of the trix know how to cook. Not even Darcy. They are all terrible and will burn the house down. Stormy would do it on purpose if you make her try
My explanation/ headcanon of Stormy wears skirts much more often than Icy and Darcy (and the winx actually) in the seasons that count anyway
I always liked to imagine that both Icy and Darcy are just completely gorgeous. Meanwhile Stormy is more average. As the trix got older she started feeling self conscious about her looks and started wearing more skirts to try to appear more feminine and more beautiful. It didn't really matter to anyone but her, but it made her feel better even if it didn't really make her happy.
As opposed to Icy and Darcy who are very comfortable in their pastel preppy and dark hippie styles, Stormy never really got a chance to discover her style and her clothes more reflect wanting to fit in vs. reflecting who she is
Of course due to evil shenanigans the trix end up wearing potato sacks forever
Darcy reads classic books just to say she did. She ends up just skimming but doesn't really absorb the plot. This isn't really a problem because no one she hangs out with (Icy and Stormy) would A. read a classic book or B. want to have an intellectual conversation about the plot points in detail
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
I don't have any headcanon on what Stormy's sexuality is (besides not straight), but she is the disaster version of it
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.
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
Stormy has ADHD (clearly)
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
Right or left handed: I have very strong opinions on this. Why? I don't know. But I know I am correct. (I'm sure there is some scene where these girls are writing or something, but I did not rewatch to check)
Icy: Left-handed
Darcy: right-handed - very upset by this as a child because she wanted to be special. She had trained herself to be ambidextrous but lost the skill because she stopped practicing it and moved on to practicing magic more.
Stormy: right-handed - no one in winx gives stronger right-handed vibes than this character.
Icy and Darcy definitely did that thing where they told Stormy they were playing hide-and-seek and then just let her sit in a box for 2 hours when they were kids.
It wasn't until years later when she was bragging about her hide-and-seek skills only for Icy and Darcy to start giggling that she realized what happened.
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.
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)
It just seems kind of random
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.”

I wrote my first winx club fanfic. (of the trix of course) Check it out if you want. I tried
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.
(But mostly the trix)
No one wanted this...
Stella: ... but I got off to buy lipgloss because the boat didn't have my brand
Musa: that's lipgloss? I always thought you JUST finished eating a rotisserie chicken
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Bloom: Flora, I don't want a raccoon in our room
Flora: I know. I mean I don't agree, but I understand
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Bloom: Oh, what'd you get?
Stella: It's a skirt, but I'm going to wear it as a dress so you can see my butt
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
(During the day of the rose episode)
Stella: Ugh, what are the trix doing?
Bloom: Nothing, They're just standing there. That bugs me so much
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Lord Darkar (Showing the trix around the hideout): It has soundproof walls
Stormy: I can yell anything I want and no one can hear me!
(Slams door)
Stormy (Muffled): I love my sisters!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Icy: Let's face it. Everyone stinks. Except me. I'm great.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Riven: You were using me
Darcy: I prefer the term "networking"
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Stormy (to Darcy about Riven): Cute? He's the reason faces were invented you idiot!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Tecna: We can have a girl's night in. I have a great new nail polish I've been wanting to try. It's called "Clear"
Musa: Sure, if you want to look like a prostitute
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Musa: I've logged over 3000 fantasy hours into my relationship with Riven. You don't just throw that away.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Icy (About Darcy and Riven): They make a cute couple, Huh?
Stormy: The certainly are standing next to each other
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Stormy: So how do you predict things Darcy? How do you do it?
Darcy: I kinda close my eyes and an image appears in my head
Icy: That's called having a thought Darcy
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Darcy (about Icy): Hey, you don't want to mess with my sister. She'll wear down your self-esteem over a period of years
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Stormy: Too short? I'm not too short I'm perfect
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Icy: Everybody know what they're doing?
Darcy: In general or in the plan?
Icy: The plan, Darcy
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Stormy (to Valtor): Quiet dignity? Have you met us?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Valtor (to the trix): Alright, listen. You're my children and I love you. But you're all terrible at what you do here. And I feel like I should tell you I'd fire all if you if I could
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Darcy: I'm the hottest girl at cloud tower
Bloom: You're a student? I thought you were someone's mom
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Griffin: I'm sorry my students picked on your students
Faragonda: Hey, I'm sorry my students threaten to cut your student's ears off
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
(Valtor explaining something)
Darcy (to Icy): Is it obvious that I don't care?
Backstory: at a con a while ago someone asked some of the members of the cast what Taylor Swift song they thought represented their character. They didn't have answers. However, I soon realized I had very strong opinions on this. I don't know if anyone cares but I do.
Charlie: Innocent (Speak Now)
Reason: The lyrics really line up with how Charlie views the world and the hotel's goals
Vaggie: The Smallest man Who Ever Lived (TTPD)
Reason: I don't really know. The anger in this song is sort of the same way I feel Vaggie feels anger (that makes no sense). I also kind of like the duality of Charlie's " Who you are is not what you did" with this songs "You are what you did"
Huskerdust: The Daily Double!
Cruel Summer (Lover)
Reason: Fun love song. Mentions both Angel and rolling dice in the chorus.
The Prophecy (TTPD)
Reason: Very sad love song. Mentions Eve in the first verse and then losing at cards AND poison in the second verse? I refuse to beleive that there is no Huskerdust connection.
Cherri Bomb: Forever Winter (Red)
Reason: The song is about worrying about a friend going through a hard time. It always reminds me of that part in the Addict video where Cherri is sitting by Angel as he cries inbetween flashes
Adam: The Man (Lover)
Reason: he is the kind of person the song is talking about
Lute: Guilty as Sin? (TTPD)
Reason: Idk. I feel like she needs to listen to this song.
Velvette: Vigilante Shit (Midnights)
Reason: I don't really have one. I like this song. I like this character. It is sort of a mean song that mentions fashion and busting crimes.
Vox: Glitch (Midnights)
Reason: It mentions glitching? It also sort of a break up and love song at the same time which I felt sort of worked with the whole Alastor thing.
Carmilla Carmine: Never Grow Up (Speak Now)
Reason: Very Motherly song and this is a very motherly character.
That is it. I know I left off some fan favorites. If I couldn't think of a song that felt right for the character I just left them off. Maybe after season two and more albums come out I can do an updated list.
Two years later and I finally wrote my first fic based on a head canon I posted almost two years ago
I knew it! I knew it! I knew they would pull some “hogwarts is my true family” crap with Merula’s vow. Oh gee, what a shock Verucca’s overly ambiguous wording would result in something like this when it was most convenient for the plot!
