Domino

Domino (also known as Sparks in the 4Kids) is the original home planet of Bloom.

Sparks was the last planet the Dragon chose to rest in, and thanks to this, it enjoyed a long period of prosperity, happiness and peace. Bloom’s natural parents lived here. It was a beautiful place, with enchanting, verdant hills, and a splendid castle in the centre of the valley.

The castle was really harmonious and magic, the stairs wound up around the gently sloping domes, emphasizing the enchanting atmosphere and fields of multi-coloured flowers surrounded it. But one day, the three evil ancestor witches came and spoilt everything. Today, only a few ruins are left.

Society

Domino is a planet run by monarchy. It is ruled by King Oritel and Queen Miriam. Their current princess is Princess Bloom. Daphne used to be a princess until she died. According to Miss Faragonda and other characters from the Magic Dimension, Domino was the most prosperous, marvellous and powerful kingdom of the whole Magic Dimension. On their visit to Domino in the first season, the Winx Club Treasure Room of the palace, and Flora jokingly remarked that Bloom was even richer than Stella.

4Kids History

Domino is the original name and was also used in the Rai version, but in the 4Kids version is known as Sparks.

Sparks is the final resting place of the Great Dragon, as stated by the series' legend.

Sixteen years prior to season one, the three Ancestral Witches attacked in their search for the Dragon Fire. However, before the witches could steal the power, the guardian nymph Daphne who resides at the bottom of Lake Ethemera, took baby Bloom and sent her to Earth were she could be safe as Bloom was the next guardian of the Dragon Fire. Bloom was then found by her adoptive father and fireman Mike in which the flames of the building went completely out after Bloom was picked up.

Bloom later discovered that Sparks was the planet she was born on and raised for a few years until the three Ancient Witches froze the entire planet while searching for the Dragon Fire. It was then presumed a dead planet inhabited by nasty creatures such as ice crabs and giant yetis.

Rai History

Domino is the final resting place of the Great Dragon, as stated by the series' legend.

Sixteen years prior to season one, the three Ancestral Witches attacked in their search for the Dragon's Flame under the orders of their master, Lord Darkar, who needed that power to obtain the Ultimate Power. However, before the witches could steal the power, Bloom's older sister Daphne whose spirit resides at the bottom of Lake Roccaluce, took baby Bloom and sent her to Earth were she could be safe as Bloom was the next guardian of the Dragon Flame. Daphne is assumed to be dead as she has no physical body. Bloom was then found by her adoptive father and fireman Mike who adopted her with his wife, Vanessa.

Bloom later discovered that Domino was the planet she was born on and raised for a few years until the Three Ancient Witches froze the entire planet while searching for the Dragon Flame. It was then presumed a dead planet inhabited by nasty creatures such as ice crabs and giant yetis.

The planet was revived by Bloom and her friends (minus Nabu) in the movie Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom. Life returned to Domino after Bloom with the aid of her dead sister Daphne defeated the spirits of the witches and then destroyed the Obsidian Dimension along with Mandragora. As a result, Bloom also reunited her family and finally met her biological parents.

The Second movie is assumed to take place in Domino as promotional art shows Bloom frustratedly seated on a throne and surrounded by the Winx Club, her adoptive and biological parents and Prince Sky.

Fauna

Prior to the revival, Domino was a dead planet populated by ice crabs and yetis. There was also the giant stone bird that guarded Oritel's library in the movie.

After the revival, life returned. Some frozen animals survived the magical ice age. The fauna is presumably similar to Earth's.

Flora

It is assumed to be similar to Earth's.

Trivia

Domino seems to have many moons from the images from the Official Winx Club Site, and from the episodes when the planet was shown.

Renaming

In all other dubs, Sparks is originally called Domino. The renaming of Domino to Sparks is one of the most prominent changes made by 4kids, which was probably due to copyright reasons, as with the Trix. The word Domino is also Latin and Italian for "Lord" and "Master", that is God.
