Character from Winx Club by Iginio Straffi / Rainbow S.r.l.
Three ancient witches — Belladonna, Lysslis, and Tharma — who destroyed the realm of Domino, created Valtor, and serve as the original evil behind every major threat in the Magic Dimension's history.
The Ancestral Witches are the root cause of almost everything bad in the Winx universe. They destroyed Domino, scattered its people, created Valtor as their weapon, and their legacy — both genetic (the Trix) and magical (the Shadow Fire) — continues to threaten the Magic Dimension generations later. They operated with a single-minded goal: destroy the Dragon Flame and plunge the Magic Dimension into eternal darkness. Their power is cosmic in scale, and it took the entire Company of Light plus Daphne's sacrifice to merely delay them. They represent the existential threat level — the kind of enemy that requires every hero in the story working together.
Three spectral figures of immense, terrifying presence. They appear as ancient, skeletal women wreathed in dark energy — more force than form. Each has a distinct dark element: Belladonna (ice/darkness), Lysslis (illusion/shadow), Tharma (storms/destruction). Their appearances directly mirror the Trix, their descendants. When manifesting at full power, they block out the sky.
