The Winx are a group of fairies formed by Bloom in the beginning of the first season. Initially, it was a group of five fairies: Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa and Tecna. Layla joined the group in the second season after some conflict with the villain of the season, Lord Darkar. Roxy is considered part of the group by many people, but she is not mentioned as part of the group on the website and seems to be just a friend of the Winx for now. This is noted because she is often apart of the group and does not seem as connected with them as she should be if she were to be a part of the group. However, Roxy is seen going to Magix with the Winx in the finale of the fourth season. The pixies bonded with the fairies in the second season, and all of the Winx fairies got their magical pets in the fourth season. In the original version, the word "Winx," as Bloom suggests, has no meaning, although in the edits made by 4Kids Entertainment, it is the word for the magical power that fairies have.
