Cloud Tower’s staff, re-redesigned once more! because most of them REALLY needed the update. Info below is copypasted but edited, so check it out fully! I’ve added two new teachers this time to make it an even number across all schools.

Headmistress Gwendolyn Griffin, Ascendix Witch of Dark Waters. Teaches Magical Defenses and History. While her stature and appearance are imposing, she’s actually quite nice and understanding. Her patience runs short, however, and her punishments can be harsh yet just. Her Source covers water and poison.

Vice-Headmaster Francis Bittersmoke, Professor of Potionology and Alchemy, Energix Witch of Thorns. While his memory’s fogey and has somewhat of a hard time keeping his students in check, he’s the quickest teacher in pinpoint issues in any technique the students practice. He’s in charge alongside Discorda to keep Cloud Tower healthy, as well as to guard its Heart.

Zarathustra Rivére, Professor of Biology and Combat Magic, Onyrix Witch of Winter Foliage. Hard on deadlines and assignments, as well as punctuality, but knows her students can do better and wants to give them the push they need. Her Sources cover Ice and Flora, and uses Onyrix mainly for aesthetic.

Ediltrude Rivére, Professor of Healing, Hexes and Counterhexes, Altheix Witch of Pulsations. Her approaches to teaching go more experimental, and while her classes are sometimes known as relax time, her way of testing the students depends a lot on attention. She’s generally more jovial than her twin sister. Her Sources are Sound and Electricity, and purposefully went for Altheix to teach Healing better.

Hecate Rusthrough, Professor of Convergences, Ritual Magic and Crafting, Cinabrix Witch of Starlight. Hecate’s one of the newer teachers at CT and an alumni, and as such has a better relationship with the students than the others due to only having graduated around 18/19 years ago, same time as Daphne. She’s chipper and more cheerful than her colleages but by no means less capable or less strict. Her Sources are Light and Poison, and uses Cinabrix to deal with some of the materials used during crafting.

Markus Hino, Professor of Spell Specifications, Magic Circles and Passive Magic Usage, Hexer of Clear Smoke. While Hecate’s senior, Hino is also a newer-ish teacher at CT (having started while she was still a student), he’s usually a bit more nervous while teaching than the others, but still holding his ground as the authority in class. He’s not a Witch but a Hexer, a fact that sometimes makes him think he’s not as qualified to teach compared to the rest of the faculty. His Sources are Fire, Poison and Wind.

Winx Club actor AU & Headcanons - Part One

Just a bunch of thoughts I have on an actor AU for the Winx Club. I went crazy for this. ENJOY! Time makes no sense here because AU.

Iginio Straffi and his team of producers; Mary, James, Jennifer and Steffani did their best to build the story of Winx Club. But they couldn’t quite get it off the ground until late 2002.

The producers looked at over 1000 girls to find the five main fairies. They were keen on getting their main five when they were building the show in 2003 so they could announce them as quick as possible.

Tecna got cast first which was a surprise. They needed a girl who could be rational to a fault but could also have emotions sitting in the background aching to forth. When This actress with a punk look Tania Garbarsky came through the doors, Iginio knew they had their fairy of technology.

Flora was next. They had all types of girls auditioning but none could get this character duality of shy but with an inner power she hadn’t totally grasped yet. Then Alice Ley came in and they loved her. She auditioned for Bloom, herself and Musa originally. They had her come back a couple of times until they were 1000% sure.

Esther Alfallo was more of a theatre and movie star so she wasn’t sure she wanted to commit to a TV show and really wasn’t sure of Winx. She had just finished a year doing a bluesy musical version of Much Ado About Nothing and needed a new project. So her manager found her something different to try out and she did. She nabbed the role of Stella, the sun and moon fairy because everyone just loved her vibrant sunny energy.

The main character was difficult to cast because no one actress really fit the bill. Or the producers were just wushu washy, changing their minds every five minute. Until they saw a certain redhead behind the open door, Caroline Cowen. This redhead was Bloom and she had auditioned for Stella. They had her come in for the MC and they admired the righteous and impulsive fire this girl brought to the role while remaining likeable. Bloom originally was bummed to not nabbing Stella but this character grew on her.

The fifth fairy was difficult to cast because her character wasn’t even completely ironed out yet. The producers knew they wanted artsy but tortured for the character and they were gonna name her Lisa. So they had a jumble of mismatched girls coming in for the role. Eventually this Chinese-Belgian green haired actress—Jia Meng Liang aka Melanie Dermont—comes in with her soulful eyes and a voice that can be sassy and heartbreaking at once. They really liked her so they kept bringing her back, while redesigning this character to fit this actress, Musa. She had just gotten off of School of Rock when she began with Winx.

After one chemistry test between the girls where they tested out the scene in 1x02 when the club is being named, (in what the girls remember as a pretty blue room) Iginio and the producers stood up and yelled “the Winx Club has been formed.”

When talks began about bringing in a sixth darker skinned fairy to the team, Beatrix Soverall (who plays Stormy) or Nathalie Stacy (Darcy) came to Steffani the producer (this story varies on who told it) and told her about this really cool actress named Delphine Maurice who they should consider. She’s more of a model and an athlete but she has done a few notable screen roles before. Yes, Delphine is a friend but she’s talented. A while later, Delphine was contacted to do a trial run, then a screen test with the girls to test for chemistry. It was palpable and everyone knew they had heir sixth fairy.

Darcy, Stormy, Jared from season 2, Musa and Aisha like to hang out a lot.

There was a major cast party when the newcomers for season 2 was cast. The Winx, Specialists, Trix, School staff, pixies and even Calvin Shuemacker (who plays Knut the Ogre) came.

Palladium, Griffin and Faragonda couldn’t make it unfortunately. And Darcy was real upset when Ediltrude and Zarathustra from Cloudtower mentioned they couldn’t come either. Apparently they are the life of the party even at their age.

Tony Beck (Timmy) likes to steal props from set. His favorite is his gun.

Isobel Gilbert (who plays Icy) is a natural blonde and she dies her white white and adds extensions to make her hair extra long to play Icy. So does Darcy. Stormy has a wig on since she has regular straight hair and it’s quick than spending hours frizzing her hair. They have a running joke about how none of them have real hair.

Francine the Water Fairy and Bloom met on casting day and are friends.

Mirta actually brought in her pumpkin t-shirt one day on set. Costume design loved it and had to incorporate it in her character look.

Darker is mostly CGI. His actor has to put on a green screen suit whenever he has a scene.

Brandon is a riot on set and everyone loves him. Everyone character has been shipped with him at least once so he’s started a rumour that he’s dated every character cause he has chemistry with everyone. Musa still gets red about it sometimes.

Riven actually is a pretty soft guy and cries easily in real life so he has a hard time being moody and unlikable in season 1. Bloom and Sky had to hug him after Bloom humiliated him in that episode.

The girls love their Enchantix forms but moving around with their new wings were a bit of a challenge at first.

Darcy auditioned for Flora back in the casting process. Because of this, she and Flora were always trying to convince the writers to do a body swap episode. They think it’d be hilarious to see Flora be mean and sneaky and have Darcy be softer and friendly.

Helia’s hair is mostly a wig which is a surprise to everyone.

Kiko is a trained rabbit that Bloom had really bonded with. She got to keep him after season 1 wrapped up.

Most of the show is filmed in green screens and made up sets. None of the Schools are real.

Sky has somehow landed in the hospital at least once per season. The guy is just really clumsy.

The girls all got really teary and emotional at the movie premiere of SotLK.

They did the countdown thing HP did for their final filming days. There are videos of everyone crying at least once in the BTS of the movie with the Winx giving one final speech before wrapping up.

They all did come back for season 4 and it was hugs all around.

People thought Roxy was just Tecna with longer hair when they first saw her picture but she easily dispelled that rumour. Many were outraged that they let Tecna let her grow that long.

Nabu ate a lot of food on set. He and Riven were known to grab handfuls of food and return to their trailers when they don’t have a scene.

Bloom and Stella like to playfully bully each other. The fandom loves shipping them.

People loved Valtor a lot, they brought the actor back to play Ogron.

Jared from season 2 cosplayed as Duman one Halloween.

Tecna is a big Voltron fan. She and Timmy binged every iteration of it and we’re quite excited for the Netflix adaptation.

Daphne is the same actress from Scooby Doo. She loves scaring people whenever she’s on set. People love her and Bloom together. She stole her mask from set. She’s a natural redhead but wore a blonde wig for season 5 and dyed it blonde for 6.

Icy, Lucy and Shilly (a witch from Cloudtower) have this podcast where they talk about their experiences on the show and it’s mainly a lot giggles and jokes from their days on set.

Tecna came out as nonbinary in season 3. Pronouns she/they.

Thomas “Unicorn of War” Vaccaro is a friend of Stella and under Griffin’s wing who was hired to write for seasons 5 and 6. Yes I’m putting him here. His is the only acceptable version of the Nick years of Winx Club.

Everyone has a crush on Brandon. I mean the man is pure sunshine, how can you not love him.

Musa, Darcy and Stormy are secret She Ra fans. Their queer hearts can’t take it.

Bloom highkey a nerd and she has a YouTube channel where she does reviews about media she’s consumed.

Flora and Helia give great massages to those that need it. People keep telling them to do something about it.

Sky was a foot model for sandals once and he regrets it to this day. Musa makes fun of him for it until Darcy reminds her that she was a hand model once.

Mike and Vanessa were adopted as everyone’s parents on set since they’re all mostly teenagers and young adults.

Griselda is the antithesis of her character. She loves to laugh with Stella and tells the most outrageous stories of her youth. She also causes a lot of bloopers.

The pixies are mostly CGIs of their actors’ heads and computer generated bodies.

Aisha, true to her character, loved the episodes revolving around water. Also to prepare for the episodes where she goes blind, she watched Charlie Cox as Daredevil/Matt Murdock.

Roxy might be seen as an industry nepotism baby, but the girl worked long hours to prove she belonged on Winx Club, including watching every single episode and movie to get ready for season 4.

Musa wrote many of the songs from season 4 and the specials. Bloom’s favorite is Heart of Fire from the Specials.

Icy, Darcy and Stormy were upset that they were not included in season four so they came to set as often as they could to cheer people on. They took “High School reunion” pics on those days.

Did you ever thought about what could've happen if Griffin never switched the sides and stays with Valtor instead? And do you have any headcanons for that?

I have and I don't think it would have went well.

For one, Griffin doesn't seem the type to condone genocide/complete world domination, which was what the Ancestral Witches were going for.

I think if she would have stayed longer, she may have convinced Valtor to leave with her, probably by finding a way to break whatever hold the Ancestral Witches had on him.

(After all, from the context clues we were given in the series, the Ancestral Witches were abusive to Valtor despite calling him their son, and Valtor doesn't strike me as the type to put up with such abuses if he can find a way out of it. In fact its implied the main reason he didn't go into business for himself was because they had a hold on him somehow.)

I don't see them going to the Company in this version of events though, as they would have been just done with the fighting and the squabbling and neither would want to risk being caught by either side of the war.

I mean, if they're caught by the Company: Potential Death. If caught by the Ancestral Coven: Definitely Death.

So I see this version of them deciding to hide away on Earth.

Getting away from it all.

Maybe being archaeologists on Earth?

Just because everyone assumes magic on Earth is dead, doesn't mean there wouldn't be artifacts or magic books or diaries on Earth. And I can see Griffin and Valtor uncovering so much of Earth's secrets.

Hell, in this version of events; maybe the Winx run into them during their Season 4 era of bringing magic to earth? Like during their search for Roxy, they find Griffin and Valtor and the two end up assisting them... For a price.

(They know Bloom is Marion and Oritel's daughter. They kept in touch with some of the goings'-on with magical dimension because I can't see Griffin just cutting contact with Ediltrude and Zarathustra completely. Or with Faragonda.)

So they have Bloom pardon them for their "past" so the two can visit the Magical Dimension as they please. And they help fight off the Black Circle and bring Earth back into the Magical Dimension.

(And look at all this stuff we discovered about Earth Magic! Isn't that worth something?!)

Great... Now I may have ideas for an au...

Or an au of an au I already have.

I didn't need more ideas.

(Thank you though. Seriously!)

Stella: What?

Codatorta: She said, "If I'm dead, you all have been dead for months."

How tall are the members of the Company of light and all the people around (like Valtor, the twins...)?

Um... everybody is tall, basically.

Valtor is the tallest of all of them. Easily 6'2-6'3. And from the flashback in 3x10 it appears that Griffin is a little shorter than him but she's wearing heels so she's about 6 feet tall.

In 5x12 Marion and Oritel both seem to tower over Bloom as well, quite similarly to Valtor. I absolutely love the idea that Oritel is equally as tall as Griffin but because of her heels, he consistently looks shorter which drives him a little bit insane but he would never admit it. Griffin would simply shred his ego to pieces if he gave his annoyance away. And Marion would be about 5'7-5'8.

Hagen is taller than them all (except for Valtor) at 6'1. Meanwhile, Faragonda is the shortest. She's not more than 5'5 and she literally has to look up when she's talking to any of them. It doesn't bother her as much as it's just exhausting.

Saladin is an interesting case because in 3x23 when we see him with Griffin and Faragonda when they were young (brief flashback while Faragonda is talking to the Alfea and CT teachers), he is as tall as Griffin (who is, again, wearing heels there). So he was probably Hagen's height. BUT in the present he's actually shorter than Faragonda, which would mean he's about 5'2-5'3. Don't know the hows or whys of him shrinking.

The twins are both shorter than Griffin (in my headcanons; I don't think we can draw any info on that from canon). I'd say Zarathustra is 5'7 and has a single, solitary centimeter on Ediltrude which pisses Ediltrude off because Zara is both older AND taller. That's bull.

You know what? I am enjoying the thought of Daphne as actually being even taller than Valtor because she was gigantic in Bloom's dreams and I'm aware that that was just a projection but wouldn't it be hilarious if she's the tallest Domino royal ever? Meanwhile, Bloom is literally one of the shortest people from the lineage.
