Fairies

Fairies are one of the main characters in the storylines of Winx Club history.



Overview
Fairies are magical creatures that are from the Magic Dimesion and are magical opposites of witches. Arcadia was the first fairy to fly since the begginning of the Magic Dimenision. All good fairies attend the three Alfea campuses, discover and learn their magical powers. All dark fairies attend the high school Beta, school for fairies for the same reason as good fairies. The higher the form, the more powerful the fairies become. Kristina and Rosella are the most strongest, most powerful fairies in the Magic Dimesion. When fairies graduate or have an annual celebration they become guardian fairies. All Fairies are mostly humanoid in appearance, with the normal Fairies looking exacly like humans, but with wings when transformed, while Arcadia and the Ethereal Fairies have a less human features and look more like purely magical beings. The Rustic Fairies have goats' legs, fur instead of clothing and hair shaped like horns. The source of the powers of all types of Fairies is from their posotive feelings and from light, which makes them very similar to the Elves magically. but opposes them magically to Withces, who also fight evil but using their dark magic, and this reflects itself in the colorful and sparkling clithes that normal Fairies like the Winx wear in Fairy mode.

Origins/History Of Fairies
Arcadia is the first fairy ever to fly. However it is unknown whether she is in fact the ancestor of all Fairies existing or not and it is most probable that she is only the first being to ever have Fairy powers, and does not have a family to the other Fairies. The Ethereal Fairies have also been mentioned as extremely powerful Fairies from the beginning of Time but, since they described themselves as being made of pure energy, it is extremely unlikely that they are related to either normal Fairies or Arcadia.Since both Arcadia and the Ethereal Fairies are said to have been existing since the beginning of Time, most probably they were born when the Great Dragon created the Magic Dimension, Arcadia being the first one to come into existance. Other ancient and powerful fairies mentioned in the series are the nine Nypmhs of Magix who, after the disappearance of the Great Dragon, ruled the fate of the Magic Dimension and were the previous Keepers of the Dragon Flame before the destruction of the Realm of Domino, after which the Dragon Fire was lost for 16 years. Earth was also protected by Fairies in the past, but then the Wizards Of The Black Circle found a way to resist to the Fairies' magic and absorb it and began the Great Fairy Hunt which lasted for centuries, till the Winx freed all of them.

Normal Fairies
In magical strength, Fairies are as powerful as Witches and their relative strengths depends on how much the fairy or witch has been trained. For example, the Trix originally seemed much stronger that the Winx, but this may have been because the Trix were senior students at Cloud Tower while the Winx were freshman students (except Stella, who, however, was not very interested in studying and was held back) and because the Trix, being descendants of the Ancestresses, were more powerful than the other witches. However the Fairy of six different powers, who is the Keeper of the power of the Great Dragon which created the Magic Dimension, is the most powerful being in the whole Magical Universe.

Fairy Forms
Even if Fairies are magical creatures, their abilities are limited in civilian form and they have to transform themselves into fairy mode, where they can use their powers with greater ease and are able to use their magic for more attacks and spells, and they also gain wings which allow them to fly, as well as sparkling outfits and sometimes longer hair. As the powers of fairies grow, they also gain gain different transformations called Fairy Levels, which each gives them new abilities. The first one, the standard Fairy Level, also known as Winx level, enables the Fairies to use their power more easily than in civilian mode.

Major Fairies
They are the Supreme Guardians of Nature and they are each bonded to a power source which itself derives all its energy from nature. These power sources themselves contain all the essence of what the Major Fairy bonded to them stands for. They are in fact so powerful that the Believix powers of the Winx, who are already the Guardian Fairies of the Magic Dimension, were not enough and they had to use the Gifts Of Destiny to fight the power of these Fairies.

Nymphs Of Magix
The Nymphs of Magix were nine all-poweful Fairies who ruled the fate of the Magic Dimension after the disappearance of the Great Dragon. They are supposed to be the most powerful being of the whole Magic Dimension, even more powerful than Arcadia or the Ethereal Fairies. However, since they are normal fairies, they are also mortal.

Pixies
As part of their jpurney to become accompliched Fairies, every Fairy must bond with a pixie. The Pixies help the Fairies with their own powers as well as with their daily life and their personality sucn that the Fairy and the Pixie are complementary. Some Fairies may bond with a Pixie having a personality alike to theirs. Other bondings are not specifically based on personality, but instead on what is in the heart of the Fairy.

Arcadia
Arcadia is the first fairy to have ever existed. She seems to be very powerful, and the power or the tests of the Crystal Labyrinth may have been set up using Aurora's power since she can also undo the effects of the Labyrinth. Arcadia is powerful enough to guard the Water Stars, which are the opposite of the Dragon Flame. Since she has been living since the beginning of the magic dimension, she is assumed to be immortal.

Ethereal Fairies
The Ethereal Fairies are magical creatures made up of pure magical energy and who are timeless, meaning that they are immortal. They appear to be extremely powerful, and to have the ability to see the future. They are also the guardians of many powers, such as the Gifts Of Destiny.

Rustic Fairies
The Rustic Fairies, although they are not all-powerful fairies, are different from other fairies because they are also part goat/horse. Their magical powers have not been seen yet.

Male Fairies
Male fairies are from Domino. They aren't taught anything like female fairies and they don't gain new tarnsformations like females.
