Zarathustra in season 1

In Season 1, Zarathurstra, Ediltrude and Griffin where captured by The Trix when they captured Cloud Tower and later escaped with those loyal to Headmistress Griffin to Alfea.

When the Winx Club arrived she and Ediltrude scoffed that the Winx Club would be able to handle their stay at Cloud Tower. When the Winx Club were in one of her classes of Mayhem she was trying to trick them into accessing their dark magic and making them prone to negative feelings and more hostile. Until Mirta interrupted the lesson half way through because she knew of Zarathustra's intentions.

She makes two cameo appearances along with her sister, Zarathustra. The first was when Valtor had conquered Cloud Tower, she was seen reacting negatively and also retorted the Trix upon their return and the second was at Alfea, discussing about Faragonda's choice in accepting Valtor's challenge.

Trivia

• Zarathustra is an Avestan word and the name of an ancient Iranian prophet and founder of the Zoroastrianism, which was the main religion of ancient Persia/Iran until the 6th century AD when it was supplanted by Islam. Zoroaster is the most common English version of the name. Zoroaster was widely viewed by ancient Greeks as being a sorcerer-astrologer and the inventor of both magic and astrology.
• In the 4Kids version, it was stated that Faragonda and Griffin were in the same grade level when they attended Alfea and Cloud Tower respectively.
  • It is also mentioned that Ediltrude attended the Cloud Tower around the same time as Griffin. So Zarathustra is most likely around that age.
