The Pixies in the movie Magical Adventure.
The Pixies are magical creatures of the Magic Dimension. They appear in Winx Club as being bonded to many fairies. In the PopPixie miniseries, they appear as main characters.
Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna and Aisha have all bonded with their own Pixies. In "The Tree of Life", Bloom promises the Pixies that one of them will bond with the Last Fairy on Earth, Roxy. This did not end up happening.
Appearance
The Pixies are small creatures with heads that are larger in comparison to their baby-like body.[1][2] The wings are varied and simple, like fairy's Winx wings. Baby pixies are about 5 cm tall, young Pixies are about 8 cm tall, and adult Pixies are about 10 cm tall.[1][2]
In PopPixie, however, there are some minor changes for the Pixies. Female Pixies have ribbon-like wings while Male Pixies have angel/bird-like wings in civilian form; both of them are small pairs of wings. Once transformed, their wings are also transformed, become bigger and colorful, some are multi-layered. Unlike in Winx Club, they wear different clothes, and outfits once transformed are different from the ones in civilian form, much like how the setting works for fairies.
Winx Club
Called "minifate", meaning "mini-fairies" in the Italian version, Pixies are creatures in the Magic Dimension that can bond with fairies and help them in their way of becoming real accomplished fairies. Accompanying them are the Pixie Pets.
Prior to the introduction of the Pixies in Season 2, the Witches used the term "pixies" as an insult to the fairies in the first season of the 4Kids dub, which at the time had no other meaning in the series.
PopPixie
From left to right: Lockette, Fixit, Amore, Chatta, Cherie, Martino, Caramel, and Pam.
A group of inseparable friends who are always ready to help each other; Pixies are well-mannered and caring, cheerful, courageous and spunky, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
They are full of energy and always ready to lend a hand. More than anything, Pixies would like everyone to be as happy because of these times they tend to exaggerate.
When they become PopPixies, they have new powers with spectacular effects and are able to transform and have new costumes, somewhat like the Fairy Forms of the Winx Fairies.
They live in Pixieville, where they are the neighbors of the Gnomes, Elves, and Magic Animals.
Unlike the original Winx Club series, male Pixies can be seen in this series and their heads are less disproportionate compared to their bodies, they no longer have unique wings in civilian form, but small alike wings, and even baby pixies like Piff can talk.

Various pixies have various powers and talents. Being magical creatures, each of them may know some basic, first-level spells that all magical creatures can use, such as telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes. It is revealed in "The Legendarium" that they can also teleport back to Pixie Village.
Trivia
