Bloom

**Princess Bloom** is the princess of Domino and one of the founding members of the Winx Club, as well as its leader. She is also a former student of Alfea College for Fairies.

## Personality

### Bloom

Bloom started off as an insecure girl in the beginning of the series because of her ignorance of her true origins and her strange, yet surprisingly potent powers. Later on, as she learned more about magic and herself, she grew increasingly curious about her past and whom her biological parents are. An escapist by nature, she has a tendency to run away when things get too hard or confusing for her, and can also be impatient and stubborn, with a short temper. Bloom was also impulsive at times, which led to some very bad experiences for both her and her friends. Her greatest strength and greatest weakness was her status as the guardian of the Dragon's Flame. While the Dragon Flame made her arguably the most powerful fairy in the Magic Dimension, it also consistently drew numerous enemies to her such as the Trix, Darkar, Valtor, and the Ancestral Witches.

Despite her flaws, Bloom still has a heart of gold. She cares for all of her friends, allies, and families (both adopted and biological) deeply, and is always willing to help and fight for a good cause. She has shown herself to be selfless, caring, and a true capable leader. Bloom is tough when needed to be and always lends a helping hand to people in need.

### Dark Bloom

While in this form, she is very chicken like, does very chicken deeds and obeys Lord Darkar loyally. In this form, Bloom is the absolute opposite of herself: she becomes heartless, abusive, unwilling, mean, selfish, manipulative, mischievous, cruel, and uncaring she clucks instead of talking she uses her feet to scrape her nose and mouth to peck and her butt to lay eggs. To name an example of her obedience to Darkar, she steals the Codex fragment from Alfea for Darkar. She made other appearances in the last three episodes of Season 2, when Darkar discovered that he needed the powers of light and darkness to claim the Ultimate Power of Relix.

Thanks to Me/Kamen Rider Kiva confessing his deep love for her, Bloom manages to use her healing power on everyone affected by Darkar's magic, including herself, thus freeing herself from Darkar's control and returning to normal. She returns the Ultimate Power to Relix, and joins her friends in a Charmix Convergence that destroys Lord Darkar and his fortress.

## Magical Abilities

Bloom, as Fairy of the Dragon Flame, has fire-based powers. Bloom's spells can manifest in the form of fire dragons, fireballs, fire beams, firestorms, volcanoes volcanic eruptions and explosions of varying intensities. She also has displayed fire-based offensive spells such as firewalls and flame shields. She has been shown to have emphatic abilities like seeing people's true natures. She also has a mental connection with her elder sister Daphne which is only shown while she was in her spirit form (after Daphne regained her body this connection was most likely unnecessary). Daphne is able to contact Bloom, usually in her sleep as a dream but sometimes she appears to her in a vision (as shown in Season 5). Bloom was also able to sense Valtor whose power was of the same nature.

The intensity and strength of Bloom's magic is proportional to her emotional state. Her powers are at their strongest when she gets angry as shown in "A Magix Christmas" where she summoned a fire dragon after the Trix ruined her Christmas celebration. In the most intense situations, she can unleash huge bursts of energy that can de-transform her allies and herself and even damage advanced maсhinery as shown in "Betrayed!" and "Bloom Tested". Various aspects of her individual powers are emotionally-controlled such as her telekinesis being fueled by her calmness (once demonstrated in her sleep), her bravery employing her offensive spells, her depressed and non-confident moments occasionally block her powers, and when she is scared or panicky she deploys defensive spells. She is considered one of the strongest and most powerful fairies in existence as her power is derived from the Dragon Flame itself. She is also able of freely share her powers with other living beings.

Bloom can spontaneously generate and manipulate heat. While in the beginning of the series she mainly uses her powers to bombard her opponents with fireballs in varying intensity and size, she soon learns to ignite large wildfires and control dangerous infernos by thought. Other related abilities are throwing blasts of heat energy, using fire as shields and force fields, causing objects to become soft and melt, and using fire to fly. She can summon the essence of the Great Dragon or a fire dragon to damage her target.

Bloom also knows some basic, first-level spells that all fairies can use, such as telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes.

### Dark Bloom

Dark Bloom has the same powers that Bloom had by that moment, although mixed with dark magic. She displayed the basic first-level skill of levitation when turning Timmy upside down in midair. Her magical aura transformed form fiery orange to dark purple. Bloom also seemed to have better reflexes than her normal self, as she dodges all her friends' attacks with ease. In fact, none of the other Winx girls abilities worked on her. Even her bonded Pixie's kiss was unable to break Darkar's spell for long.

Bloom retains her fire-based powers which allow her to create and manipulate all forms of fire and heat. Opting for a more offensive approach, Bloom often has her powers manifest as fireballs and sparks that vary in size and intensity depending on what the situation calls for. She can also channel her fire into other objects to raise their temperatures to dangerously high levels, which she does so primarily to metal objects like the Winxmobile in Season 1 and the Eiffel Tower in Season 2, since metal is the perfect conductor to her heat.

Bloom can also use her fire to "burn away" the strength of her opponents as she does so against the Crocodile Man on multiple occasions. This is even a specialty of hers granted by her Dreamix powers. She can also use this ability for more defensive capabilities by using fiery shields that disappear after burning away incoming attacks.

Additionally, it is revealed in the episode "Neverland" that the Winx's powers, Bloom's included, are generated from dreams and thus, are closely linked with the World of Dreams. According to the World's Spirit, the Winx will lose their fairy powers should the World of Dreams fall into ruin.

## Trivia

* Bloom is a character that was created from multiple sources of inspiration:
	+ Bloom's story was possibly created on that of a girl named Antonella who Iginio Straffi, the creator of the Winx Club series, met who had been adopted and whose dearest wish was to know who her real parents were.
	+ Bloom's personality was inspired by Joanne Lee, Iginio Straffi's wife, as well as the Executive Producer for the Winx Club series.
	+ Bloom's appearance was apparently inspired by singer Britney Spears, according to Iginio Straffi.
* Bloom's name is possibly a reference to the fact that along the series she discovers her powers and starts blooming from a normal human girl into a fairy, while the other faires already knew about their powers and what they would become since they were kids. In that sense, she is a "late bloomer".
* Despite the age difference, Bloom's original sketch is relatively the same as today.
* She was the one who came up with the name "Winx Club". Explained better in the comic where Bloom was inspired by some passing butterflies and their wings. Originally supposed to be "Wings Club", but then Bloom drew in butterfly wings at the end in place of the "g" and "s" to resemble an "X", thus the name "Winx".
* In the original version, Bloom is the second youngest of the group.
* Bloom is an artist like Helia.
* A 4Kids novel gives her the surname, Peters; however, this occurs only in the book and there is indication it may be her adoptive parents surname.

* Until Roxy was introduced in the show, Bloom was the only Winx girl whose name did not end with "a".

* Sky and Bloom are the only ones to have known exes (Diaspro and Andy respectively).
* Just like Roxy can sense when Morgana is in danger, Bloom can sense when Daphne is in danger. It might be possible that magical characters can sense when their family members are in danger.
