Staff:
Griffin- Griffin is the headmistress of Cloud Tower. She is somewhat a bitter rival of Faragonda and it is stated (in the final episode , "Fire and Flame") that the two of them were once good friends and even dated the same boy. Griffin can seem mean but she honestly cares for her students and will defend them if threatened. In season three, it is revealed that as a young witch, she once teamed with Baltor to work for the Ancestral Witches. Also, as a young witch, she resembled Darcy. She was saved by Faragonda and went on to help defend the planet of Sparks alongside Ms. Faragonda and Principal Saladin of Red Fountain. Griffin is one of the three points of magic, the others being Faragonda and Saladin.[citation needed] Carol Jacobanis voices Griffin in the 4kids version.
Professor Ediltrude- She is a witch that teaches Hexes at Cloud Tower and sister of Zarathustra.
Professor Zarathustra: She is a witch that teaches Mayhem at Cloud Tower and sister of Ediltrude.
Students:
Mirta- is a kind hybrid fairy/witch who stands out quite prominently from the other witches of Cloud Tower. Her sweet and shy nature makes her a target of ridicule and scorn there, except for her roommate and childhood friend Lucy. Mirta doesn't think the fairies are bad, and even attempts to help Bloom on one occasion, but for interfering in the Trix's business, she is turned into a pumpkin for the second half of the first season. Flora keeps the pumpkin in her room and takes care of it affectionately[citation needed], trying several times to turn her back into the girl she once was. By the end of the first season, she is turned back into a girl and becomes a transfer student to Alfea. Each time the Winx Club go to Cloud Tower, Mirta goes with them as a guide. She is seen in Winx form in the 10th episode of the third season. In the movie, Mirta is featured three times: When Stella, Musa, Flora, Tecna and Layla are graduated, she cheers them; when Mandragora attacks Alféa, she takes down one of her monsters; and when the teachers, pixies, and fairies restore Alféa after the battle.[citation needed]
Lucy- is Mirta's only friend at Cloud Tower. Tall, pale, and not quite as attractive as others, Lucy has self-esteem problems and desperately wanted to befriend the Trix in Season 1 (though they scorn and tease her). She appears to be a very good dancer though, appearing in the Miss Magix competition in disguise. She and Mirta have been friends since childhood. They lose contact at the end of the first season, as Mirta transfers to Alfea, but halfway through the second season, Lucy and Mirta reconcile. They are seen dancing with Amaryl at Musa's concert and together at the end of year party during the finale of the second season, proving that they are once more friends. Lucy was unwillingly part of the attack on Alfea in the 3rd season, under Valtor's control.
There are at least 60 unnamed witches in Cloud Tower. Icy, Darcy, and Stormy were seniors at the school for part of the first season, but were expelled.
