The magic of the Winx Club can be found all across the globe and within our fandom! Meet the fairy talented team members behind Winx 4 Life!
-Ella
Right! Self-introduction, here we go!
Greetings, everyone! My name is Ella Anders, and welcome to our corner of the Winx Club fandom. I am a writer and digital marketer.
I first encountered Winx absolutely by chance back when season two began in September 2005. Since then, I have followed Bloom on her journey to discover herself. Little did I know the impact it would have on my own life. In 2010, I opened Winx 4 Life on a complete whim to try something I had longed to do. This choice led me not only to manage Winx 4 Life but to gain amazing friends, memories, and even find parts of myself I never knew. It’s also the reason why I went into marketing.
In addition to Winx 4 Life and my work as a digital marketer, my writing credits include being a staff writer on BSCKids and working on the Magical Memories Zine. Outside of web content, I am a fiction writer who crafts Winx fan fiction and original works. Perhaps one day, everyone might get to meet my own characters and stories.
-WidowFata
Hey fairies! My name is WidowFata! First off, let me say thank you to Ella. She is so kind and thoughtful for letting us share this platform. I guess I’ll start at the beginning. I was 12 when I first saw Winx Club on Cartoon Network. It changed my world. I fell in love with Alfea, the Winx, and the beautiful world of Magix! The second season is my favorite!
When I was 18, I became a doll collector and started with Ballgown Flora. In 2015, I became a mom. Life tends to come and go. Things change regardless of the good or bad. I left the community in December 2020. I wanted to explore different paths. Life took a drastic turn, and I had to uproot our lives, leaving my collection all but forgotten. It took me a long time to come to terms with what took place. I slowly came back. Honestly, it was the Sirenix song that brought me back. I had the support of one of my best friends.
I came back in December 2022. Life once again took a drastic turn. Then, I met one of my best friends, who did nothing but support me. I can’t thank him enough for it. I connected with a few other friends, and now we’re all here! I started dating my boyfriend in March 2024. He is genuinely one of the best people I’ve ever met. He made me believe in love again and that I deserve happiness and am worth it.
-Piper
Hello fairies and specialists! My name is Piper. I come from South Africa but now live in the UK. I first saw Winx when it aired in South Africa in early 2005. It was love at first sight and eventually became my safe space. Growing up in a broken household with family issues and having to move around a lot, Winx was the only thing that kept me grounded and made me feel safe during those very tough and dark years.
When it comes to collecting, I only started collecting dolls during COVID (I started with Monster High) when people resorted to selling dolls and other items. I didn’t get my first Winx doll until 2021. We had the show in South Africa, and only a few dolls came out there (Mattel gave us a few dolls, Witty gave us the most, but when it came to Jakks and Giochi dolls, those were basically nonexistent). I also didn’t get dolls growing up because, being a biological male, my parents refused to buy dolls for me. I am now in a place where I have more access to Winx, and I couldn’t be happier. The friends I’ve met along the way have become lifelong friendships that I cherish and hold close to my heart.
-Preetyxflora
Hello fairies, witches, and specialists! My name is Preetyxflora, and I'm from Croatia! I've been following Winx since the day I was born, due to my sister picking up on it right when it was released in 2008 and made its debut. My love was always there, but due to life, it was suppressed for a little bit. Then, on August 13th, 2022, I got my first Winx doll as a proper collector, Believix Flora! Ever since then, I've been focused on my love for the show and the merch that came along, shedding light on various categories like prototype dolls and Croatia-exclusive merch. This is my safe space; the show allows me to have a creative outlet where I can let my true self be at peace. The friends I've met along the way have shown me what true platonic love is, and that's why I owe my whole life to both them and the show we all love.
