Greatest fears (or one of them)
Icy: Her greatest fear is loss of power. She can deal with failure and rejection (she is used to it by now), but she would not be able to cope with loss of power. Not only her magic powers, but the power she has over others. She needs her sisters to be looking up to her. She needs to be the leader.
Darcy: Darcy would be most scared of loss of control. Darcy is a strategist and plans everything out beforehand. She is very conscious of everything she does and not having control would be stressful and demeaning for her
Stormy: Stormy would be most scared of getting left behind. She is scared of her sisters abandoning her because they see her as stupid and impulsive. She is scared to do things by herself and figure out how to live independently. She has major FOMO
Heights:
Icy: 5'4/162.5cm : She just seems average height to me. Of course she appears taller because of the hair and the heels
Darcy: 5'7/170cm : This one was hard because I imagine her as quite tall, but I don't imagine riven as super tall and there is no way season one Riven would date someone who isn't at least a couple inches shorter than him. He has too big of an ego.
Stormy: 5'0/ 152cm: Stormy is small. I just love the idea of her being short and angry. It's just too funny. If she is not the shortest in the reboot I will scream.

I wrote my first winx club fanfic. (of the trix of course) Check it out if you want. I tried
What do they think of the nickname "the trix"?
Icy: Icy loves it. She is proud that she and her sisters are so intimidating they were given a name that strikes fear into the hearts of others. Definitely one of her proudest achievements. Also her only real achievement
Darcy: She thinks it is an incredibly stupid name and is low key embarrassed that no one could think of anything better. And that was before she found out it was the name of a cereal. That was a depressing day for her
Stormy: Doesn't really think about it. She probably doesn't know that other people made it up. She just assumed that Icy made it up to seem cool (because she would)
How talented at magic each girl is
Icy: She has above average raw power. I see her as being more innovative with her powers and I like to think she created the spells she used instead of learning them from others or from books. All those different ice shapes were her own creation
Darcy: Raw power wise she is actually average. However, she put in the time to improve her powers and abilities. She tends to do things very by the book and focuses on technique. None of her spells are original, but she has perfected a very large variety
Stormy: In terms of raw power she has the most, however she doesn't have the same levels of technique or experience as Icy or Darcy. She relies on strong tornados and lightning strikes, but can't manipulate them very well without lots of focus. She has the most trouble controlling her powers and understanding them because she only got a half year at cloud tower before being expelled. She isn't stupid, she just hasn't had the same educational opportunities
As a kid I only had seasons 1 and 2 of the cinelume dub on netflix as I kid. I low key didn't know they made any other seasons until years. I grew up thinking they were sisters and didn't consider any other interpretation.
I watched the show with my younger sister and we both loved the trix. Sister relationships are special and evil sister relationships were better. Yes we are evil, but we also do sort of love each other maybe 40% of the time and care about each other about 80% of the time.
My sister was/is very similar to Stormy in personality and I would probably be more similar to Icy. Because of this the Icy and Stormy sister relationship has been my favorite to think and write about.
I just personally like reading and writing about sister relationships. I am totally willing to ignore evidence in favor of my happiness in cases such as this.
Even when considering an interpretation where they are not sisters, I still would want them to be related, like third or fourth cousins. I always thought it was interesting if fairies prioritized friends while witches prioritized family. I don't have a reason, I just like it
So anyway, yes, fuck the willow tree. I am going to choose to believe that was a translation error and live happily in my delusion forever
Handwriting:
Icy: I just see her handwriting as being almost deceptively cute. Like lots of curves and swirls and that kind of thing
Darcy: very uniform, very neat. Everything is the same height. Her handwriting is so neat it looks fake. Her handwriting looks like Arial font. Five pages later and it is still neat.
Stormy: Just a hot mess. She writes like she was in a rush and it just gets worse as the page goes on. Even she can't decipher what she wrote sometimes.
It just seems kind of random
I knew it! I knew it! I knew they would pull some “hogwarts is my true family” crap with Merula’s vow. Oh gee, what a shock Verucca’s overly ambiguous wording would result in something like this when it was most convenient for the plot!
Two years later and I finally wrote my first fic based on a head canon I posted almost two years ago
Stormy is extremely cuddly. Icy and Darcy are NOT.
