Daphne/Series

Original
Daphne was one of the Nine Nymphs of the Magical Dimension: nine all-powerful fairies that, after the disappearance of the Great Dragon, controlled the destiny of the Magical Dimension. She was in fact the Supreme Nymph of Magix, being the last and most powerful one among them before Domino's destruction and the disappearance of the Dragon Flame. She was apparently an extremely powerful fairy when she was the keeper of the Dragon Flame. Since the episode Betrayed of the first season; Bloom tells Sky that she first saw Daphne on the walls of a temple found at Magix, along with the other Nymphs of Magix, and there was a statue of her in the Museum of Magic.

She was also the eldest daughter of King Oritel and Queen Marion, and hence the Princess of Domino.

The Ancestral Witches, hoping to claim the power of the Dragon Flame as their own, attacked her home world and destroyed it after threatening Erendor into breaking the promise he made to Oritel to protect Domino while the Company of Light was away fighting the witches.

To help protect her home world and save her younger sister, Bloom - and hence keep the Dragon Fire from falling into the wrong hands - she sent her to Earth; a dimension so far away and forgotten that the Witches could not sense her Dragon Flame.

Daphne confronts the Ancestresses but was eventually overpowered and killed. After this, the final battle against the Ancestral Witches and the Company of Light took place. Oritel and Marion, convinced that both their daughters had been killed, defeated and imprisoned Valtor, who had lied to them that he was the one who killed both Bloom and Daphne, in the Omega Dimension.

They then fought the Ancestral Witches themselves and were able to defeat them and imprison them in the Obsidian Dimension, their birth realm. But before disappearing, the Witches captured both Oritel and Marion, imprisoning them in Obsidian along with them, and a wave of dark energy was released from the realm of Obsidian that turned Domino itself into a frozen place and captured all the inhabitants of Domino and imprisoned them as well in Obsidian.

For sixteen years, Daphne remained just a memory and history, waiting for the return of her younger sister.

Revamped
Daphne was born to King Oritel and Queen Marion of Domino. She was the Guardian of the Dragon's Flame and one of the Nymphs of Magix, nine powerful fairies who ruled over the Magic Dimension following the Great Dragon's disappearance. Daphne had also acquired Sirenix at some point in her life.

Shortly after the birth of her younger sister, who came to be known as Bloom, Domino was attacked by the Ancestral Witches and their son Valtor. They were working for Lord Darkar and were seeking the Dragon's Flame for their master. The Company of Light, led by Daphne's parents, fought against Valtor. The Ancestral Witches pursued Daphne in the Royal Palace, but she was able to transfer the Dragon's Flame to Bloom and send her through to a portal to Earth to save her.

Daphne then confronted the Ancestral Witches in the Infinite Ocean with her fellow Nymph, Politea. She managed to ward them off temporarily, but when the Ancestral Witches launched another attack, Politea refused to help. This allowed the three witches to cast a curse on Sirenix, which struck Daphne and left her as an incorporeal spirit and they turned politea into a hideous monster.

Daphne's parents, and all the inhabitants of Domino, were subsequently imprisoned in the dark realm of Obsidian following a major battle between the Ancestral Witches and the Company of Light. Domino itself turned into a frozen wasteland in the aftermath of the battle. Daphne's spirit went on to dwell in Lake Roccaluce in Magix, where she was bound because of the Sirenix Curse.

Season 1
Daphne first contacted Bloom when the Winx went to Cloud Tower to take back Stella's ring from the Trix. The Winx were trapped in a fire and Bloom heard Daphne's voice telling her where to go to escape from the fire and return to Alfea. Sometime later Bloom starting having dreams about Daphne who was asking Bloom to follow her; telling Bloom that she had something to tell her. During the Day of the Rose at Magix, Bloom was watching a dance show when she had visions of Daphne dancing.

When Bloom made research in the Alfea library she found out that Daphne was one of the Nymphs of Magix who used to be the Guardians of the Dragon's Flame but the school library went out of control and and nearly damaged precious books found there. When Faragonda found out that Bloom was looking for information on Daphne she ordered Miss Barbatea to remove all books concerning Daphne from the library because she was concerned that if Bloom knew too much of her history and too soon, it would effect her negatively. Later Faragonda helped Bloom find more about herself after she explained to Faragonda that she had been dreams that would constantly keep her awake.

When Bloom returned to Gardenia after being heartbroken, the Trix followed her and "stole" her powers but before that they told her the truth about herself, that she was the keeper of the Dragon Flame, and that she was from Domino, which was destroyed by their ancestors, the Ancestral Witches, when they tried to acquire the Dragon Flame, and that she had been saved by Daphne who was none other than her elder sister who had been killed by the Ancestral Witches for saving Bloom. She went to Domino in an attempt to find the Dragon Fire, only to meet Daphne's disembodied spirit, who gave the crown of Domino to her, through which she learned more of the destruction of Domino.

Shortly before the final battle against the Trix, Bloom went to Lake Roccaluce, where Daphne appeared to her again, telling her that the Dragon Flame will never leave her because it is part of her, like her memories and her identity, that it was because of the doubt she was having about herself that she was unable of using her powers and that she only needed to trust in herself again to be able to fully use her magical abilities at their strongest and fullest potential. She gives Bloom the confidence she needs to find the Dragon Fire within her heart and gain it back to defeat the Trix.

Season 2
Daphne remains in contact with Bloom, but she makes very few appearances. She made a shadowed cameo appearance as a young teen in a dream where she told her parents that baby Bloom was awake.

Season 3
Daphne is only mentioned a few times in this season; such as when Valtor speaks of her, and Bloom discovers more of her origins and home world of Domino, as well the three Ancient Witches. She does, however, tell Bloom to find her Inner Dragon while training on Pyros.

Season 5
In "The Spill", when Roxy says that she would never have made it so far without Bloom who had been there for her like a big sister, this reminds Bloom of when she told Daphne that she would not have made it so far without her and that she was sorry that she had not been able to do something to get Daphne out of the state in which she was.

When the Winx are unable to fight Tritannus under the sea because their Believix powers are less effective underwater, Faragonda tells the Winx that they will have to acquire Sirenix and for this they will have to find the ancient Book of Sirenix, but that she does not know its location herself as no one has become a Sirenix Fairy for quite some time. She however tells Bloom to ask Daphne where it is since Daphne was the last Fairy to have acquired Sirenix.

When Bloom asked Daphne about the location of the Book of Sirenix, Daphne told her not to look for Sirenix because the Ancestral Witches had put a dark spell on Sirenix. This was one of the rare times Daphne has been seen to lose her calm. However Bloom persuaded Daphne to reveal the location of the Book, and she told Bloom that the Book of Sirenix was in the Archives of Alfea.

She was later seeing talking with Bloom before the school night dance. She was later captured by Tritannus and the Trix. In "Trix Tricks", she is seen being tortured by Tritannus and the Trix for information about Sirenix. She refuses to say anything despite the pain she is experiencing. Icy then suggests they go after Bloom in order to force Daphne to talk.

In "Test of Courage",Tritannus continues to torture Daphne to make her talk, but she still remains defiant. Icy then casually brings up that a ceremony on Domino was happening today and that it would be a shame if something happened to her parents, making Daphne angry. Tritannus sends the Trix to Domino to capture Oritel and Marion while he goes to Domino's oceans.

After attacking Domino, Icy turns Daphne's parents into icy sculptures and then calls up Tritannus, who was with Daphne. Sky managed to catch this, realizing Daphne was being held hostage. Tritannus forces her to watch in horror as her parents were iced over. When Icy cruelly pokes Marion's ice sculpture while mockingly wondering if she would shatter if she fell over, Daphne finally broke down and agreed to tell Tritannus everything.

In "Sirenix", Tritannus still threatens Daphne to tell him her knowledge about Sirenix. Daphne finally gives up and tells him that her Sirenix powers are protected by the 'Source of Sirenix' in Lake Roccaluce. She tells him that he will never get Sirenix. But Tritannus has an idea to destroy the source itself and calls the Trix. Icy immediately realizes that Daphne has told Tritannus about Sirenix. Tritannus admits this and tells Icy that she will get Sirenix after Tritannus has it.

After Tritannus destroyed the source, the Trix are already waiting for his return. Tritannus tells Icy that he has gift for her, drains Daphne's Sirenix powers and gives it to the Trix. Daphne attempts to free herself and defend her powers, but it is too late: her powers are sucked into Tritannus' trident. Daphne screams in potent despair as her powers are dragged into Tritannus' trident. The corrupted Sirenix power surrounds the Trix and Tritannus tells them that they are invincible as they have transformed into their Dark Sirenix.

Daphne is still held prisoner and brought to Infinite Ocean along with Tritannus, the Trix and his mutants.She tells Tritannus that the Winx will stop him to which Tritannus disagrees and spears the green crystal near him. As pollution starts surrounding it, more and more mutants gather around it to bow down to Tritannus, who then tells that he will destroy the Winx,leaving Daphne shocked.

In the Infinite Ocean, when Tritannus fails to activate the Emperor's Throne, Daphne warns him of the dangers of Sirenix, telling him that it is cursed and that it will destroy him. This angers him and he imprisons her in a prison cell found below the Emperor's Throne. In "Inspiring Eye of the Fairies," Tritannus and Icy began to have dreams of grandeur together once he acquires the power, making Darcy and Stormy so disgusted that they decide to go off. The imprisoned Daphne tries to reason with the two witches to prevent Tritannus from activating the Emperor's Throne because doing so will unleash a vast, uncontrollable power that will cause the destruction of everything and everyone, including themselves. Stormy just hits her back with a miniature tornado before going off.

Daphne was disappointed at her failure to get them to see reason, and tries to contact Bloom through a dream, but was too weakened to do so as her captor is too strong. Tritannus then adds the Seal to the Throne, but then suddenly gets drained of his powers, reverting him to his normal merman form. Daphne realizes the hold on her weakening, but was still strong enough to keep her bound and shackled. However, she was able to contact Bloom. In "The Devourer",Tritannus decides to use a Devourer against the Winx and sends it to attack the selkies at the Pillar of Light. Daphne overhears the plan and decides to contact Bloom again.Daphne then contacts Bloom telepathically to tell her that Tritannus attacked the Selkies with a Devourer. Bloom starts to search for Stella and Aisha but realizes that the meeting is not over, which prevents them from leaving, so she tries to warn the others as well.

In "A Perfect Date",Daphne tries to warn Bloom that she must destroy the seal of the Pillar of Control, much to Bloom's shock. She tells what she was told to the other girls, who were also confused at Daphne's reasoning for asking them to destroy the seal.

In "Listen to Your Heart",Tritannus continues to rant and rave about his not being able to activate the Emperor's Throne, then angrily grills Daphne that she must know a way to. Daphne tells him not to do it as the Sirenix curse will destroy him, just as it has to another fairy, Politea. He demands to know who this Politea is, and Daphne explains that Politea was a Sirenix fairy with a power-lust that turned her into a monster due to it. In "The Shark's Eye",Daphne again tells Tritannus to abandon his mad quest of activating the throne as she remembers Politea, a nymph of the Magic Dimension.Bloom later gets a warning from Daphne to find Politea before the Trix do. She tells her to use Alfea's Room of Faraway Reflections to find her before she vanished. At the Fairy Clock Room of Alfea,Bloom then finds herself in another dimension lined with numerous mirrors. The mirrors then displays a scene from the past of a living Daphne and Politea, who encountered them.Ancestral Witches in the Infinite Ocean. Daphne had fought them off, but the Witches do a last ditch attack upon Daphne, and for some reason, Politea left her for dead. She also gets attacked and their Sirenix powers had become cursed, turning Daphne into her spirit form and Politea into a dragon. It then shows monster Politea somewhere in the Infinite ocean, Bloom's only clue was an underwater cavern in the shape of a shark's head. Bloom is soon snapped back into reality. In the season finale,Princess Aisha is held prisoner in the same cell as Daphne,as both tried to escape and stop Tritannus.After Bloom and Nereus destroyed Tritannus trident,Aisha and Daphne were freed of their bonds. The cell opens as Serena swims to them.Tritannus gets surrounded by everyone as he began to rant about how he should have easily killed them all, then painfully reverts back to his original merman form. Bloom's Guardian of Sirenix appeared and offered her a Sirenix wish. She uses her wish to break the Sirenix curse and end its dark legacy forever. As a result, Daphne appears before her, and is restored to her physical body of solid flesh and blood, finally restoring her to her true self at long last. Bloom tearfully reunites with her long-lost elder sister, after five seasons and two movies, they can actually touch each other. At a seaside stage near Andros Palace,Oritel, Marion, and Daphne arrive with Mike, Vanessa, and Kiko to attend at Winx's victory.The Winx perform "The Magic of Tonight", while the Specialists, the other Alfea fairies (including Roxy and Krystal), and their families are seen cheering.

Bloom and the Winx promise that she will get her accustomed to her new life in no time. She receives a cellphone from Tecna with all the latest apps and Aisha teaches her how to dance. Stella then gives her a makeover ready for the celebration of her return later that day.

Daphne is embraced by the citizens of Domino during the celebrations and everyone is happy to see her alive. Halfway through the celebrations, the Trix appear, startling the crowd. The Trix say that even though they were not invited to the party, they brought Daphne a "present"; the Beast of the Depths.

When the Beast tries to attack Daphne, she becomes frozen with horror, so it is up to the Winx and the Specialists to save her. When the Winx attack the Beast in vain, the citizens of Domino barricade themselves inside the Royal Palace. Daphne is upset that she could not help during the attack beacuse she lost her sirenix powers (after Tritannus and the Trix drains of her sirenix powers in Season 5) and breaks down in tears. She then explains to the Winx that the Beast cannot be destroyed, only controlled and the only person who can control it is the nymph of Domino, that is Daphne herself.

While the Winx are searching for the "Inspiration of Sirenix" at Lake Roccaluce, Daphne decides she is fed up with the Beast threatening to hurt her family and friends; and decides to sacrifice her life to save them.

After visiting Bloom in her dreams, Bloom tells her friends about it which prompts Tecna to use Bloom's memory wave to create a holographic display of Daphne's appearance. The accurate depiction of Daphne allows Bloom to remember that she saw her on a facade of a large building in Magix City. Stella then tells Bloom to search in the library. At the library, Bloom finds books about Daphne. It is learned that Daphne is the Princess of Domino and a Supreme Nymph of Magix. However, many other books had so much information to offer they started scrambling around Bloom and Faragonda is called into the library to stop it.

After this incident, Faragonda thought about it and decided to bring Bloom to Daphne in an astral journey so that the former could learn more about her. Daphne awaits for them and as her two visits enter her home, a cave inside Lake Roccaluce, she appears. Bloom is urged forward by Faragonda. Daphne then presents an extravagant case to Bloom.

With that, Bloom is able to do just that.

The Secret of the Lost Kingdom
In the movie, after Bloom had hit another dead end in her search, Daphne told Bloom to take her friends and find the Book of Destiny which contained the knowledge of the location of their parents, Oritel and Marion. She gave Bloom the mask she wears, which enabled Bloom to see how Domino used to look before its destruction.

In the film's final battle, she aided Bloom and Sky in defeating the Ancestral Witches. Daphne reached out for Bloom, whose powers were becoming weak because of the negative forces of the Realm of Obsidian, and the two sisters combined their magic to attack the Ancestresses. Finally Sky stabbed Mandragora, who was possessed by the Witches, with Oritel's sword and Bloom-Daphne used the Dragon Flame to destroy the Witches and Obsidian as well. After this she greeted her released parents and introduced them to Bloom, whom they had thought dead.

Magical Adventure
In the Magical Adventure, Daphne makes two appearances in the second 3D movie. The first appearance is after Bloom "frees her breakfast." Daphne makes a dramatic and rather eerie entrance to tease her younger sister and Bloom tells her how hard it is to be a princess. Her other appearance is when Bloom is telling her that she is marrying Sky. Daphne reacts joyfully to this as she hugs her sister.

Other than these two, there are no other appearances of Daphne but King Oritel does make reference to her later on at Havram when he first sees the Ancestral Witches. He states that the Ancestral Witches were the cause for Daphne's death.
