Mirta

Mirta is girl who stood out quite prominently from the other witches of Cloud Tower. She has the ability to produce illusions using her imagination on her emotions. Her sweet and shy nature made her a target of ridicule and scorn there, except for her room-mate and childhood friend, Lucy. Mirta does not think the fairies are bad and even attempts to help Bloom on one occasion. At the end of Season One, she transfers to Alfea College, where it is unclear whether she is truly fairy or witch, as she grows wings, but tends to revert to dark magic upon occasion.

Personality Profile
Mirta is a sweet and shy girl who would rather have fairies and witches all get along. Her personality is similar to Flora's, with a good head on her shoulders. At Cloud Tower, Mirta was not fitting in, though she was nice to everyone else there.

Mirta's biggest value is friendship, as she had said on instance in the 4Kids version that her favorite witch spell was a friendship spell who gives people their very own best friend. Her friendship seems to be contagious because Lucy and Amaryl seem to be more friendly to the Winx since they know her.

Mirta's closest friends are Lucy, Flora, Amaryl and Kimmy; she does not have a pixie yet but she could bond with Zing or Jolly who both like her. She has grown more cheerful throughout the series as she develops more friendship with the fairies of Alfea. She does not have any love interest.

Even if Mirta (like Flora) is afraid easily, she is also very selfless, as showed in season 1 when she stood between a hurt Bloom and the Trix; or when she told Flora to no worry about her and go help the others against the nightmare monster; or in season 3 when she went to Cloud Tower without her roommates nor being transformed in order to find out what happened to Lucy.

In one issue of the comic, Mirta is shown to work in Magix as a barber saying that it is in order to make money in case she will not become a fairy, since it was prior of Layla's joining the Winx because she wasn't there, it is between the events of seasons one and two.

Season 1
For interfering in the Trix's business, she is transformed into a pumpkin for the second half of the first season. Flora keeps the pumpkin in her room and takes care of it, trying several times to turn her back. By the end of the first season, she is turned back into a girl by Flora and becomes a transfer student to Alfea.

Season 2
While not as prominent as storywise, Mirta still manages to make several appearances in this season. She seems to fit better in Alfea than in Cloud Tower, mainly because she can sometimes been seen with Amaryl, Kimmy, and Ahisa, and she is part of Layla's dance show with Francis at Musa's concert. She makes her next appearance due to going to Cloud Tower with the Winx Club. While at Cloud Tower, Mirta visits Lucy and they share memories of their childhood. Lucy ends up by accepting Mirta's desire to be a Fairy and Mirta does the same for Lucy's wish to remain a Witch and become a full-fledged one, as she tells Mirta that she wants to remain a Witch but that not all Witches are bad like the Trix and that there are proud and strong Witches like Miss Griffin (implying Miss Griffin is now Lucy's role model and that she no longer wants to be like the Trix). Mirta later finds herself caught up in yet another battle with the Trix.

Season 3
She is seen in Winx form in the 10th episode of the third season but not in the 11th. Like some other fairies it is currently unknown how and when exactly she has transformed for the first time; and because she did not transform in later episodes, it is possible that she could not transform at Cloud Tower.

Secret of the Lost Kingdom
In the first movie, Mirta is featured a couple of times. When Stella, Musa, Flora, Tecna and Layla are graduating, she cheers them on. When Mandragora attacks Alfea, she starts taking down one of her monsters bravely with fairy powers and after with witch powers but Professor Wizgiz finishes it more comically. After that she appears, with the teachers, pixies, and fairies to restore Alfea after the battle.

Civilian
Mirta is a pale girl with freckles, grey eyes and short burgundy hair that has a long blue streak in it, with a few beads separating it from the rest of her hair.

Her general(and only, so far) outfit has a punk goth style to it. She wears a frayed white shirt with a pumpkin decal in the middle, a gray shirt underneath that shirt, and a black vest that covers both. Her black skirt has a gray layer to it and is helded up by two belts, white and dark red respectively. She wears dark red leggings underneath the skirt. Finally, her black boots are knee-high with grey straps on them. She accessorizes with grey arm cuffs.

Fairy Transformation
Her fairy outfit is a pink top with blue spaghetti straps and a matching skirt as well as blue boots and blue-black gloves. Her wings are pale purple and pale pink and are very similar to a butterfly.

List of Mirta's spells
Illusion Delusion: Appearing in episode 14 of the 1st season, it is a witch spell that can create nearly real looking illusions.

Wave of Compression: Seen in the first movie, it is a dark purple beam that Mirta fires at an invading monster. It appears to be fairy magic since there is no dark aura surrounding Mirta. While it did not do much damage, the spell did manage to hurt the monster.

"By the powers of darkness, I order...": An incomplete, dark spell spoken in the first movie in which a dark aura does surround her. Mirta was not able to complete it due to Professor Wizgiz helpful(and funnier) interruption and warning of not using witch magic.
