The Winx Club series was created and directed by the Italian animation genius Iginio Straffi. His initial plan was to have 78 episodes before the drama went global. This is probably why fans often ask, "Who were the original Winx characters?" After the series became popular, Hollywood actors like Keke Palmer, Molly Quinn, and Adam Gregory became voiceovers.
Overview of Winx Club
Initially, the Winx Club was a group of five fairies who planned to make their school years memorable by braving through hardships and experiencing new things while sticking by each other as best friends.
The teenage girls are entrusted with the burden of saving their respective planets from evil. There is a backstory to how the fairies got their power, but they need to know how to control and use it when the need arises.
The test episode of this animated drama was shown to the audience in 2001, and Iginio noticed that the test audience disliked that the characters looked ancient. So, when the first episode of the first season aired on the television in 2004, the series had gone from being known as Winx: Just Fairies to Winx Club. It was co-produced by Nickelodeon and Rainbow SpA.
Winx Club full story
The opening episodes of the series discuss Bloom, who later became the leader of the Winx Club. She lives in Gardenia on planet Earth, and everyone, including herself, thinks she is just another teenager. However, Bloom lives an everyday life and has her romantic escapades as teenage girls often do.
Everything changes after rescuing a pretty girl with wings from a monster. The rescued girl, Stella, is the fairy of the shining sun. Bloom becomes curious about the girl's winged appearance and is surprised when Stella tells her about a school for fairies known as Alfea.

Stella invites Bloom over to Alfea, and Bloom's parents, Mike and Vanessa, agree to let her move to Alfea with her new friend. Later on, Bloom discovers her parents had adopted her as a baby. They found her abandoned and wrapped in flames when she was little and raised her as their daughter. Bloom moves to Alfea to discover her inner powers.
There, she becomes friends with other fairies, and they form the Winx Club. The Winx Club characters' names are Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna, and Aisha, who joined in the second season.
Bloom becomes the club leader, and the girls have fun together, though not always. Sometimes, they have to fight to rescue their loved ones from the Trix, a group of three witches who go against every good thing the Winx Club stands for.
The Trix's ancestors were potent witches. The Winx Club members have to stop the Trix from taking control of Alfea in season one. The Winx Club characters and the powers they possess will be tested in the subsequent series.
What happened in the end?
The last season of this animation was released in 2019 and consisted of 26 episodes. As usual, members of Winx Club rise to the occasion of saving the universe from impending doom. But, this time, they go on an adventure to planet Lumenia.
Someone is making the magical universe lose its stars, and they must do something quickly before darkness prevails. First, they meet with new characters such as the queen of Lumenia and Lumen (a magical star-shaped creature). Then, they have to defeat an old enemy known as the evil Valtor because his return is why the magical universe was going black.
