Princess Stella took note of Bloom's "Winx" and got her enrolled at the Alfea School for Fairies. At first Bloom had little control over her powers, but has since mastered them to a fair degree. She later discovers that she is really a princess (the only heir to the Planet Domino). At the same time she also discovers that she is the keeper of the powerful Dragon Fire.

Despite being the most tomboyish of the Winx she is the most emotionally vulnerable. Musa compensates by putting up a tough front.

Tecna has trouble expressing emotion and bases the majority of her decisions on pure logic. Deep down inside she truly cares for her friends though. In English version, She has a British accent, respectively.
