White Circle - Episode 417 (1)

The White Circle, or the Fairy Circle, is a magical item introduced in Season 4.

Overview[]

The White Circle is a powerful item that acts as a key to Tir Na Nog, the realm of the Earth Fairies. It can also be used as a means of contact between fairies and in combat due to its magic-enhancing and defensive abilities. The White Circle can also take its user to wherever they wish. The White Circle is magically opposed to the Black Circle.

The White Circle also allowed Earth Fairies imprisoned in Tir Na Nog to possess free Earth Fairies who were close to it.

Appearance[]

The White Circle is a white ring with four white oval shapes along it. Magic can be channeled through the White Circle. Depending on the user, it will glow or pulsate blue, which has been described as "the Earth's flames" or pink, which will deepen to a red-purple when an attack is being formed. In some cases, the magic glow surrounding the circle can be focused into a large, body-sized sphere that will surround the person holding it to either restrain or empower them. Streaks of orange lightning can move about the surface of the sphere. Magic can manifest itself in the form of a red-purple ball inside the middle of the circle and can be shot out of the center. The glow of the circle will intensify during this process and may even cause rays of the magic to shoot from around the circle. The White Circle can be shrunk to ring-size via a magic spell.

Pre-Series[]

The White Circles acted as the links between Tir Na Nog and the Magic Dimension. Over time, the circles were destroyed by the Wizards of the Black Circle, leaving only one left.

White Circle - Episode 408 (1)

Roxy finds the White Circle.

Roxy found the White Circle inside a burning barn on the childhood farm a mysterious voice in her dreams led her to. Ogron was surprised to see the circle and tried to pick it up, but it burned him and he recoiled in pain, dropping the White Circle back onto the floor. Roxy then picked up the White Circle, ran out of the burning barn, and lifted it up to the sky. With it, she summoned the creatures of the sky and forest to come and attack the Wizards of the Black Circle, causing them to retreat. After the Winx saved the burning barn, Bloom offered to hold onto the White Circle for Roxy[1].

The Wizards of the Black Circle used a location spell to locate the White Circle, and the spell summoned an image of Roxy at Love & Pet.

Later, at the Frutti Music Bar, Bloom sat with Roxy and talked to her about her current situation being the last fairy on Earth.

Bloom then said it belongs to Roxy as a link to her past and her future, and that they can discover its secrets together as she was one of them now[2].

Later, in the storeroom of the Frutti Music Bar, Roxy pondered over the White Circle and determined that she must face her fear of it. Just then, the circle started glowing and a voice coming from the circle called out to Roxy and asked Roxy to listen to her. Roxy became scared, and the voice, who revealed herself to be "Nebula," begged Roxy to set her free, saying she had been imprisoned for too long[2].

The circle then trapped Roxy in a magic sphere, causing Roxy to beg for freedom and exclaim that she did not want to set her free, but Roxy's plea fell on deaf ears as Nebula possessed Roxy's body. Upon completion of the spell, Nebula picked up the circle and exclaimed that after centuries, she is "alive" again. She then asked the circle to take her to the Wizards of the Black Circle so that she may exact her vengeance. In the Frutti Music Bar, after Stella saw a vision of Roxy's possession, she, Bloom, Flora, Aisha, and Tecna left the bar to search for her. A possessed Roxy holding the circle then saw Musa, and as Roxy's possessor did not know her, ignored her and flew into the sky, on her way to the Wizards of the Black Circle[2].

The Winx intervened, stopping the Wizards of the Black Circle from doing any harm to her. After the Wizards of the Black Circle retreated, the Winx noticed that Roxy had a negative energy about her. After recognizing the White Circle as the cause of the negative energy and Nebula as Roxy's possessor, the Winx used a Believix convergence to restore Roxy to her normal self, severing her tie to Nebula[2].

After this incident, Roxy talked about her possession with Bloom and Flora and how afraid she was of something happening again. She flashed back to her possession, noting that she could feel the feelings of all the captive fairies. Later, Musa asked what should be done about the White Circle. Saying that such a powerful object cannot be left unguarded, Bloom shrank the circle and put it on her finger[3].

The White Circle remained on Bloom’s finger for some time after that. Later, after Roxy was kidnapped by the wizards, they offered her return if the Winx surrendered the circle. However, the circle ultimately remains in the hands of the Winx[4]. After being weakened by Ogron, Bloom asked Roxy to take the White Circle. Roxy became afraid, not knowing if the circle would possess her again. Bloom then said that if it ended up in Ogron's hands, it would be the end for them all[5].

Morgana starts to help Roxy to believe in herself.

After saying that she could no longer protect the circle, Bloom fainted and the circle fell to the pavement. After Klaus confronted Ogron, Roxy picked up the White Circle, debating on whether to surrender it to Ogron lest the Wizards of the Black Circle continue to terrorize her friends. After Ogron gave her an ultimatum, Roxy broke down, not knowing which choice to make. Holding the circle in her hands, Roxy exclaimed that she wished to forget everything that has happened to her[5].

Roxy Attack

Just then, the mysterious woman who was the voice in her dreams appeared to her in a vision. She said that Roxy could put an end to all of the terror the wizards were causing. Putting the circle on Roxy's finger, the woman prompted Roxy to fight. Empowered, Roxy used the energy of the White Circle to attack Ogron. After Bloom's Strength of Life caused the wizards to weaken and retreat, Roxy made a fist with the hand the circle is on, creating a rainbow in the sky[5].

Faragonda, through video chat with the Winx, requested that the White Circle be kept at Alfea so that it would be out of reach of the Wizards of the Black Circle, and so that she may further understand all of its secrets. Faragonda then transported the circle through the video chat[6].

Using the Tracix power.

After Faragonda failed to further study the circle, Bloom asked the Winx to focus their magic it. Using the Tracix power, the Winx levitated the circle and were shown the past. The woman from Roxy's dreams was seen and began to speak, saying that the circle was the last of its kind, and the only hope for the Earth Fairies to escape the human world and go back to their home, the Isle of Tir Na Nog. She said that the gates to Tir Na Nog were disappearing as they were being destroyed by the Wizards of the Black Circle, who used the Black Circle to combat the White Circle. The woman revealed that the White Circle is the salvation of the Earth Fairies. After the vision, Tecna then used her Omni-Detector to transport the White Circle into her video game so that it may be kept safe from the Wizards of the Black Circle while the Winx performed with their band during the night[7].

Later, the Winx entered the video game to secure the White Circle as Ogron, Gantlos, and Anagan had infiltrated the game. Bloom located the White Circle but the Wizards of the Black Circle summoned the Black Circle to capture the White Circle. Bloom, Flora, and Aisha let the circle pass through the portal. The Wizards of the Black Circle made contact with the White Circle, but since they did not have any protective spells activated, the game ended, leaving the White Circle in the hands of the Winx[7].

About to open the the gate to Tir Na Nog.

After this, the White Circle remained on Bloom’s finger. Later, the Winx used the White Circle to transport themselves to Tir Na Nog in the hopes of unlocking the door to the Earth Fairies' realm, and the White Circle remained on Roxy's finger. Later, after finding a room with a pillar that had a carving of the White Circle, and consulting the Winx, Roxy placed the circle onto the pillar, unlocking the door to Tir Na Nog and freeing the Earth Fairies[8].

The White Circle on Roxy's finger.

As Roxy reflected on the fact that she freed fairies seeking vengeance on the Wizards of the Black Circle and the humans of Earth and became upset, she made a fist with the hand the White Circle is on as it glowed[9].

The White Circle could be seen on Roxy's finger when the Winx were in Aurora's Frost Tower. It glowed on Roxy’s finger as she conversed with Morgana[10].

When the Winx brought the Wizards of the Black Circle to be tried by the Earth Fairies, Roxy uses the circle to open the gate to Tir Na Nog. Later, in an attempt to stop Nabu from facing the dark abyss created by the wizards, Aisha suggested using the circle to absorb the dark energy rather than his staff, as it was a powerful magical object as well. Nabu refused, as the circle was the last key to the fairies' realm and had to be protected[11].

Roxy Seventh Fairy p16

A flashback of Roxy finding and being possessed through the White Circle.

The White Circle only appears during a flashback as the Winx and Roxy inform the Fortress of Light Council of the events that took place on Earth.

With the transmitter on her head, Stella explains that in addition to the ferocity of the Wizards of the Black Circle, Roxy seemed to have been receiving guidance from a mysterious figure that led her in a very precise path that would later lead her to a secluded farmhouse located in the mountains just outside of Gardenia. There, Roxy found the White Circle: the key to the Earth Fairies' freedom, however, grabbing hold of the White Circle allowed for Nebula, a fearsome Warrior Fairy, to take control of Roxy's mind and body. She had attempted to use her control over Roxy for vengeful purposes but the Winx were able to free Roxy from Nebula's control by the skin of their teeth.

The White Circle is not mentioned again until Musa is given the transmitter from Flora who got it from Stella. While she was occupied with her budding career as a musician with her newfound producer, Jason Queen, Roxy and the rest of the Winx were successful in defeating the Wizards of the Black Circle and were led to an island off the coast of Ireland called Tir Na Nog. Using the White Circle, Roxy was able to open a passage into the Earth Fairies' kingdom and free them, but things soon took a much darker turn when Morgana, the Earth Fairy High Queen, declared war against the Wizards for imprisoning them and the humans for eventually forgetting about them and abandoning them.

Trivia[]

  • The White Circle may be a reference to Fairy Rings, which are naturally occurring rings or arcs of mushrooms. They are associated with many legends, and according to English, Scandinavian, and Celtic legends, they were made by elves or fairies dancing.
