Nymphs in their Nymph forms.
Nymphs are magical creatures from the Magic Dimension that appear in the Winx Club series.
Overview[]
All Nymphs are mostly humanoid in appearance.
Most Nymphs are known to have used their powers for good purposes and protect the Magic Dimension from the forces of evil. However some Nymphs are known to have allied themselves with the evil forces for their own selfish motives, such as Politea who betrayed Daphne and did not assist her against the Witches when she needed help the most, and the Ancestral Witches were able to place a curse on Sirenix. Some of these nymphs become Dark Nymphs.
Nymph/Fairy Form[]
There are differences in their forms. Some nymphs do not have wings and some do. Prior to the retconned and thus, the return of her Sirenix powers, Daphne was only seen in her nymph form which had no wings and she wore a gold dress. Since regaining her Sirenix powers, she is now seen in this form which has wings.
What is consistent are their dresses which are long, flowing and colorful. If they have wings, they are small and pink color.
Magical Abilities[]
Most of the abilities of the Nymphs are unknown, the only few users among them who appeared in the series being Daphne, Politea, and Omnia who has been seen doing magic mostly in flashbacks. Their known abilities are:
- Flying without wings (Daphne)
- Opening portals to other worlds and realms (Daphne, Omnia)
- Turning magic back on itself (Politea)
- Reversing any spell (Omnia, Daphne)
- Breathing underwater (Omnia, Daphne, Politea)
- Convergence
- Energy and light projection
- Dragon’s Flame (previously)
Types of Nymphs[]
Guardian Nymphs[]
Daphne is the Nymph of Domino.
Guardian Nymphs are guardians of their respective homeworlds, bound to protect them from evil and destruction. These nymphs achieve ultimate harmony with the Magic Dimension. The position of "Guardian Nymph" is forever a part of the aspiring nymphs. The Nymphs of Sirenix are guardians of the Infinite Ocean since ancient times. The Nine Nymphs of Magix were tasked with guarding the Five-Headed Great Dragon that rests underneath Domino in a chamber located beneath the royal palace and watching over his sleep, and are guardians of their homeworld, Domino since the ancient times. The Nymphs of Domino are the only beings capable of controlling the Beast of the Depths, a creature who wields power stronger than the Dragon's Flame.
Nymphs of Magix[]
Nymph of Magix
The Nymphs of Magix were nine all-powerful fairies who ruled the destiny of the Magic Dimension following the Great Dragon's disappearance. According to legend, the home of the Nymphs is in Lake Roccaluce. They were apparently so respected that they were even represented on a Temple found at Magix. Issue 149 of the comic series also implies that the Nine Nymphs of Magix may have originated on Domino and continue as a long-standing tradition in which those who become nymphs go on to protect the Magic Dimension as they are immortalized within a special hall dedicated to each nymph that has graced its history. Older nymphs whose flames begin to die out select and train protégés to take their place once they become worthy enough. They were tasked with guarding the Five-Headed Great Dragon that rests underneath Domino in a chamber located beneath the royal palace and watching over his sleep.
There were at least three known groups of the Nymphs throughout history; the very first led by Daphne's ancestor thousands of years before the start of the series. They are the ones who are represented all over the places. Egerya, an older nymph, belonged to the second generation of the Guardian Nymphs, long before Daphne and the other nymphs were even born.
Nymphs of Sirenix[]
Politea was a Nymph of Sirenix
Nymphs of Sirenix are fairies who have earned the power of Sirenix. They all owned the ancient power born from the amagic of the oceans and they are responsible for protecting order in the Infinite Ocean. Daphne and Politea are the only known Nymphs of Sirenix.
