Character from Winx Club by Iginio Straffi / Rainbow S.r.l.
Headmistress of Cloud Tower — a former Company of Light witch who proves that darkness magic doesn't equal evil, even if she enjoys the aesthetic a little too much.
Griffin runs Cloud Tower with the same iron discipline Faragonda runs Alfea with kindness. She believes witches get a bad reputation because most people can't distinguish between darkness magic (a tool) and evil (a choice), and she's spent her career trying to train witches who understand the difference. The Trix are her greatest professional embarrassment — students who chose power over principle. She and Faragonda bicker like old married friends, disagreeing on methodology while agreeing on everything that matters. Griffin fought alongside the Company of Light against the Ancestral Witches, proving her loyalties with action when words weren't enough. She carries a quiet pride in that choice and a persistent irritation that people still assume the worst of witches. In crisis, Griffin is decisive and powerful. She doesn't ask for consensus; she acts. Her dark magic is formidable, and she deploys it with the precision of someone who has spent centuries mastering a craft most people fear.
Tall and severe with sharp features and an angular build. Long dark purple hair and piercing eyes. Wears dramatic flowing robes in deep purples and blacks with high collars — full witch aesthetic. Her bearing is imposing and regal, chin always slightly elevated. Despite her intimidating appearance, there's intelligence and dry humor in her expression.
