No! No matter how hard you hit, we won’t give up! Together, we can do ANYTHING!
BELIEVIX, PODER DE WINX! UNA LUZ DE MAGIA TE LLENARÁA- adjhk sorry lol
The MANY transformations of S4! Believix and a bunch of forms that y’all don’t know about. These are the forms of the White Circle leaders, and given their placement in my AU I know you’re like “Drops what the fuck?” right now. Let’s go over everything, shall we? (the S4 summary has been updated to include these changes. If ya haven’t checked it out, it’s here!)
Believix, as mentioned before, is the transformation of teamwork and trust - one can only get it by complete confidence, trust and belief in their friends during unfavorable situations. The Winx would have gotten Believix as early as S2 if it wasn’t for Shadow Bloom’s whole deal, and them fighting separately at the end of S3 didn’t help any. Believix increases the strength of the magi’s convergence spells, as well as giving them a special calming spell that can dimish aggression on others. The Winx are their strongest when in Believix together.
The other five forms showcased are the White Circle transformations - unofficial forms created by each general for their most devout followers. They are mostly aesthetical outside of granting a minor boost linked to their Sources, and they require all passive magic to maintain it, mostly geared for fighting. The Winx only actually get the first two, but I drew them all in them because why not, really. They’re all named after their granters and are not considered true transformations by the Order of Mana. (credit here to @gins-potter , who’s old concepts for her own take of S4 inspired me to make these changes! GO READ HER REWRITE IT’S SUPER FUCKING GOOD)
Dianix is Diana’s transformation, granting the wearer a minor connection with plants, animals and water. It’s essentially a watered-down Arborix. The Winx get it while on the Amazon, after interacting with the Shrine of Dianix which grants the form at the start of the Amazon River. Diana herself can also give you Dianix.
Aurorix is Aurora’s transformation, granting the wearer a minor connection and protection from ice, wind and light. Watered-down Glacix more or less. The Winx are given the form by Aurora, so they can slip by unnoticed when confronting Nebula and Sibylla on the South Pole, after taking over her tower. The Shrine of Aurorix is near the shores of Antartica that face Argentina.
Nebulix is Nebula’s form, granting a knack for fire, electricity and metal. Its Shrine is near Mt. Etna on Italy. Works as a lesser version of Ignitix.
Sibyllix is Sibylla’s form, giving a connection with the earth as well as sound and darkness. Basically watered down Lustrix. Shrine is located on the Sibillini Caves, her own domain.
Lastly, Albix is Morgana’s transformation and considered the White Circle’s signature, their true mark of loyalty and devotion. Albix grants control over light, darkness, sound, healing and poison, and is considered the strongest of the Earth forms. It’s named after Albus, Latin for white, rather than after Morgana herself.
How did the winx earn their transformations in the au?
This be long, under a cut it goes
Aside from Bloom everyone got Charmix when they turned 13, it’s an automatic thing that is still fervently researched. Everyone always just yells CHARMIX the very first time they transform, it’s a tradition and it helps the magic to properly channel the magic. It’s still necessary to yell CHARMIX the first few times, but after a month or so one can transform with just a thought, but some still do yell the name of the form because why the hell not, it’s fun, it lets you scream, and it’s a good way to make people underestimate you letting you get the drop on them. Bloom transforms for the first time when she’s already 18 so for her it took a bit longer to properly stabilize, and she first transformed during the fight with the Trix in Magica City during early S1, freeing herself from the ice and burning a few trashcans.
Glamourix was more individualized and it took the longest for all the girls to gain out of any transformation. Flora gets it first during the end of S1 by managing with the last of her energy (since she was just done defending Alfea from the Army of Decay) to free Mirta from her pumpkin-ness. Bloom was next by regaining confidence in her magic as well as finally regenerating her full Dragon Aura during the S1 finale. Aisha gets it next by surviving falling off a goddamn upside-down castle at the start of S2, as she was low on magic at the time and her getting Glamourix was the only reason she managed to get to Alfea in the first place. Stella gets it shortly after by trusting Amentia on her promise to protect Brandon while she goes back to the surface to heal off her injuries with full natural light, and once recharged she obtains it fully. Tecna gets it next, by refusing to give up during a battle with some monsters when searching for the other girls as well as facing her stubborness as a good thing. Musa gets it last and WAY later than the rest, as she gets it during the Red Fountain concert via apologizing to her dad and brother, as she has been rude to them and ignoring them all year for her own selfish reasons, not being fair to them.
Enchantix is... more or less the same as in canon but with some tweaks. Aisha gets it first by healing her dying aunt rather than her eyes after getting blinded by Valtor, since she know she could get healed eventually but her aunt wouldn’t get a second chance. Stella gets it next by defending her father and future step-father from a dragon attack, forcing her broken ring to transform and draining her magic completely in a light shield. Her earning Enchantix also reforms and transforms the sceptre, turning into the Crosier of the Cosmos. Musa is next by taking a hit meant for Galatea while escaping the burning library, her wings getting destroyed in the process. Of course, earning Enchantix reformed them, but she wasn’t able to fly fully for a few days after the fact. Flora is next by saving her sister, not many changes here, and Tecna also gets it by closing the Omega portal getting trapped into Omega in the process. Bloom actually gets a full Enchantix in the AU, by saving Maia from a convergence spell from the Trix taking full damage for it and almost actually dying.
Already explained how they got Believix in the AU in a different post!
For Sophix and Agapix (Lovix/Amorix), the girls actually kind of steal the form? They’re artificial transformations made by Diana and Aurora for their subjects guarded in shrines made in their image deep in their respective locations (The Amazon Jungle and Antartica) in the shape of a flower or a crystal. The Winx steal Sophix to help counter the men destroying the forest as well as to stop Diana’s attempts of actually murdering them. As for Agapix, they actually are given the form by Aurora so they can go unnoticed in her land, as Nebula had taken over and she needed their help to dethrone her.
Harmonix is earnt more or less the same way as in canon - the girls do a trial for it in Graynor and manage to pass it without using their magic even once, earning the form. Sirenix follows the same way as canon, doing the Sirenix quest.
As for the other transformations, you can actually read the respective posts for the designs, since I do cover them in full there! Just search Valiantix, Pleiadix, Silvestrix, Lustrix or Cosmix on my blog!
Magic Winx, Believix! Gift of Wisdom, Sophix! Gift of Emotion, Agapix!
Next in the reworkings is Believix! They had a minor update on their outfits (mainly in the color pallete), as well as showcasing Sophix and Agapix’s (Lovix) new looks. Believix still works the same as last time (obtained only in groups, relies on mutual trust, looks are uniform yet varied), while Sophix and Agapix are now more uniform, being incredibly minimal and sparsely decorated. It fits with them being a fake/artificial transformation made by Diana and Aurora for their servants/subjects.
Sophix and Agapix need all the energy they can muster to maintain the form, meaning any passive magic being used is removed. This means Tecna and Flora lose part of their hair colors. Tecna’s a natural brunette in the AU, but I did choose a pinkish brown hue to still match with her canon hair color.
After Sophix, comes Agapix! AKA Lovix redesigned. I changed the name to fit better with Sophix (Sophix comes from Sophia -Ancient Greek for wisdom, so Agapix comes from Agape - Ancient Greek for Love). Flora and Tecna look like they came from a Christmas Special and tbh I dig it a little.
The gift of Affection, the power of ice! My version of Lovix, Agapix! More details under the cut!
Next redesign? Well, Maybe Harmonix, maybe Sirenix. I need to rework some things for the AU first.
Why Agapix, you may ask? I wanted to maintain a theme with the Gift Forms, and since Sophix comes from the greek Sophia, “Wisdom”, Lovix should be from Agape, “Love”, right?
As for the designs, I’d say only Aisha and Musa’s were actually fitting for the cold, so COATS WITH FUR-LINING FOR EVERYONE! I think I like Roxy and Aisha’s outfits the most.
The wings are supposed to represent ice prisms, and follow the same rules as Sophix’s wings did. Unlike Sophix, there aren’t divisions for each power; all subordinates of Aurora have the same fur-lining, with the distinction being the coat being a near-white, paler shade of their main colour. Agapix only grants infallible protection against extreme cold, as well as making your powers work even if they would normally couldn’t with those temperatures. Similarly, since only a Fairy or Witch with Ice, Cold, or Winter-related powers would benefit greatly with this power, no one of the Winx gets a more elaborate costume than the others.
