Description
ya it probs doesn't make sense right now BUT IT DOES HAVE AN EXPLANATION.
Mythix is the result of the Order of Mana (with the authorization of the very, very tired Black Circle members) meddling with the Legendarium Keys once Acheron was defeated. The essence of transformations (especially of those tied into objects) is a delicate thing, and too much messing around can cause very different, all dangerous, effects on people. After 4 months, they managed to extract the essence from the keys, and with a lengthy convergence involving a lot of transformation-assigned Nymphs (Daphne and Faragonda included), the magic was spread through the worlds, making it available universe-wide.
Mythix holds the title of the Folktale Transformation - for one to earn it, they need to unintentionally mimic or hold a similar role to a famous name of legend. It’s usually from stories they know already, but most of the time it will tie more strongly with their main Source. Their forms are influenced by the themes of the story while still holding the same features of their natural magic. Due to the form still being new, wings haven’t fully developed an unique style yet, hence the similarities to their Enchantix and Believix wings. Its strength lies on the folktale it’s “linked” to, essentially absorbing magic from the area most closely related to it. It has commendable speed and defences, but it’s attack prowess is average.
As for the Winx (and Roxy), they essentially earned Mythix without having to do much - they still had a lingering connection with the Pleiadix wands, and once the essence was spread, it unlocked it on its own for them. Their forms are influenced by legends they had emulated in the past, getting the form on technicalities as they did somehow fulfill the requirements. As for each girl specifically:
- Bloom is representing the story of Linteria, a young girl who kept the Light of Domino (a very big magical fire that was used during harsh blizzards in ancient times when internal heating wasn’t still fully implemented) alive for 6 days on just her magic alone, who earnt her Enchantix this way. Her dress has the streaks of light that it emitted. Bloom filled a role similar to her during the saving of her kingdom, as she had to maintain an artificial sun for 24 hours straight to erase the last bits of the Endless Winter.
- Flora represents the ancient Princess Floria of Primavera, who revitalized the kingdom after a very rough drought which destroyed the crops of that year. Her form is green representing the lush the kingdom would be known for in the coming centuries before its split into Lynphea and Dolona. Flora “earned” the form when revitalizing the destroyed Roccaluce Forest after Valtor’s fire left it ruined, an almost equally ardous task.
- Aisha carries the essense of Dorothea, one of the most famous Nymphs of Andros known for having managed to tame the seas and the sky, stopping a hurricane dead in its tracks that would have decimated an entire region of the country. Her form is loose and airy to represent the winds she so easily controlled. Her saving of her kindom during Valtor’s attacks by holding the seas in place as the Omega Portal was being closed by Tecna earnt her the form.
- Musa has a personal attachment to the legend she represents - her hometown’s hero, Sonia the Muse, who famously stopped an stampede that would have wrecked Caden by perfoming a lullaby, calming all the animals and managing to send them on their way. Her form mimics the dress Sonia’s commonly depicted in. It was a similar act done by her during her stay on Earth pacifying the giant bugs sent by Nebula with a song.
- Stella holds the legends of Serena, one of the ancient Blue Moon priestesses who ended a coup singlehandedly with just her magic, harnessing the darkness of the night and the light of the moon and the stars to stop an assasination attempt on the young Prince. Her form takes on the characteristic blue of Moon magic, as well as adorning her with the same cut of the priestess’s robes, altough given a modern touch. She “obtained” Mythix while saving her kingdom from Valtor, stopping a possessed Chimera from ending her father and step-father’s lives in a desperate move.
- Tecna is channeling Luccia, one of the very first artificers of Zenith and of the system overall, Who deviated an entire storm that was headed for the then-barely-standing capital via sheer force of will, earning her Valiantix. Her form is adorned with lightning shapes at the edges for this reason. Tecna’s closing of the Omega Portal was a feat even more impressive than Luccia’s, earning her the form.
- Roxy, on her part, is essentially representing her own grandmother Merope, who was the one that defeated Nebula in the final fight against the White Circle when her magic was at an all-time low. Roxy did the same thing almost to the letter during the battle in Omega, and her form shares the same shape of Merope’s Energix form.
