[edit] Overview
In the first episode of the first season, Bloom, a red-headed teenager from the Earth city Gardenia, stumbles upon a fairy, (Stella), who is locked in combat with an ogre named Knut and several small ghouls.
Knut and the ghouls are about to defeat and capture Stella when, frightened by the monsters, Bloom unwittingly lets off a magical blast; this directs Knut's attention at her, and gives Stella an opportunity to counter-attack with her own special attack using her scepter. Knut and his monsters escape, and an exhausted Stella faints. Bloom, concerned about Stella's condition, brings her home to recover.
When Bloom wakes up the next day, she thinks it was all a dream and reflects on what happened the previous day. Later, Knut and his ghouls return with a more powerful Hunter Troll, determined to capture Stella. As Knut and the Hunter Troll are about to defeat both Stella and Bloom, the specialists from Red Fountain arrive and repel Knut's attacks and capture his troll.
Stella, impressed by Bloom's power, invites Bloom to attend Alfea, a school for fairies in training. At first, Bloom's parents are skeptical, but Bloom's interest in her innate magical power convinces her parents that her attendance would be in her best interest, and they allow her to go hone her skills as a fairy.
Flora, Tecna, and Musa are introduced. These girls, Stella and Bloom form the Winx Club, with Bloom as the informal leader of the group. The Winx Club conflict with a rival clique from another school called The Trix consisting of Icy, Darcy and Stormy. The Trix search for the powerful Dragon fire, an omnipotent force that can control the Winx universe, and are convinced that one of the Winx Club has it.
