Bloom (Winx Club) Angela Galuppo Season 4

Description

Princess Bloom is the Fairy of the Dragon Flame. She is Prince Sky's fiancée, the second princess of Domino and its Guardian Fairy. She is one of the founding members of the Winx Club, where she is recognized as the leader of their group, which also signifies her status as the central protagonist of the Winx Club series as a whole. She is also an alumna/student of the Alfea College for Fairies as of The Secret of the Lost Kingdom. Appearance Bloom is a slightly fair-skinned girl with waist-length red-orange hair with a single small hair strand sticking up (until Season 4) and large cyan eyes. Civilian Winx Club In Season 4, Bloom's hair is now knee-length with her bangs uneven to the right. She wears a pink ruffle sleeve top with white, soft pink, and blue polka-dots, yellow trim, and a blue heart emblem with a blue puffy skirt and a gold belt with a pink and white polka-dot bow. Her shoes are heels (same as the top) with a yellow toe ribbon and a blue ankle cover. She also wears pink bangle bracelets. Fairy Forms As the keeper of the Dragon Flame, many of Bloom's Fairy Forms maintain a theme of fire. Blue stands out as the primary color of a majority of her forms, with pinks and purples acting as accents. Personality Bloom Bloom started off as an insecure girl at 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, especially when she first met/attacked Diaspro under the assumption she was one of the Trix with a lack of evidence. 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. Additionally, Bloom is has been known to make some selfish decisions (though this is partly due to her strong desire to learn her background) and can act rather self-centered at times. 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, brave and a true capable leader. Bloom is tough when needed to be and always lends a helping hand to people in need. As she grows in later seasons, she becomes wiser, and a far more focused and effective leader to the Winx, as a part of maturing over the years, and has (for the most part) learned to reel in her impulsive and temperamental nature. This is especially relevant in World of Winx and later seasons, where Bloom showcases her much more serious, but still kind-hearted disposition as leader of the Winx. Magical Abilities Winx Club Bloom, as Fairy of the Dragon Flame, has fire-based powers where her spells can manifest in the form of fire dragons, fireballs, fire beams, firestorms and explosions of varying intensities. She also has displayed fire-based defensive spells such as firewalls and flame shields. Bloom can spontaneously generate and manipulate heat. While at the beginning of the series, she mainly used 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. The intensity and strength of Bloom's magic is proportional to her emotional state where 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 Great Dragon's Flame itself. She is also able to freely share her powers with other living beings. She has been shown to have empathetic 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. Aside from her empathic powers, Bloom like all fairies and witches can sense different magic trails but on a much stronger level as she is able to bypass cloaking spells along with being of very few beings in the entire magic universe capable of sensing across other magic dimensions. This sensory power includes the very life force of magical creatures as she was able to sense that the pixies were in another dimension despite not being able to sense their magic alone. She also displays the ability to project her spiritual flame into the minds of others allowing her to sense their essence but at the risk of her physical body being harmed.
