PopPixie is an Italian animation television series and a spin-off to Winx Club. This series was created by Iginio Straffi and produced by Rainbow S.r.l.. The show features magical creatures such as pixies, elves, gnomes and magical animals who all live in a small village called Pixieville.
The village is fed from the Tree of Life, an ancient tree that provides the Pixie's MagicPop, globes that contain positive magic of Special Talent. Each Pixie has a special talent and when she uses it for the benefit of others and in the right way, they will receive a MagicPop and becomes a PopPixie. The enemies of the Pixies are the Elves which combine jokes and trouble within their village.

Elves
Floxy is an Elf with special talent for spiteful tricks and bad jokes. He is not particularly intelligent and is the most immature of the Elves. There is nothing that he takes seriously and since his organisational skills are nil, he follows Rex faithfully. Floxy is both lazy and greedy. He loves cakes more than money. Floxy’s animal friend is Billo the polecat.
Lenny is whacky, loves taking risks for the sake of excitement, reckless and irresponsible. Although he is unpredictable and independent, he is always the first to follow Rex and Maxine in some new raid on Pixieville. Lenny’s partner in crime is Wolfgang the wolf.
Maxine is very malicious and is the dominating personality of the couple with Rex. As the prettiest of the Elves, she uses all her charm to keep Rex firmly where she wants him. As Rex is a model for the boy Elves, Maxine is the role model for girl Elves. The Animal who accompanies Maxine is Rodrigo the cobra.
Narcissa is equally lazy and quirky. She dreams of living the life of a great lady, something that Floxy cannot give her. Narcissa pushes Floxy to be better than the others and this often lands her fiancé in situations that she doesn't know how to get out of. For Narcissa this is a very painful situation and she reacts in all the wrong ways, feeling inferior to her friends who have better male partners than she has. Narcissa has a crocodile called Lucilla who is just lazy and tetchy as she is.
Rex is an arrogant and haughty Elf who has a big opinion of himself. He admires Maxine and thinks that the rest of the world is not worthy of his attention. Compared to the others, Rex has a more mature and criminal side to his character which often frightens even his companions. This aspect of his character particularly appeals to Maxine, his fiancé who is very ambitious. The Animal who accompanies Rex is the tiger Cleopatra.
Yucca is the fiancé of Lenny. Yucca is vain and frivolous and adores extreme shopping. Anytime is right to show off and she and Lenny make their nights out with the gang an event to be remembered. Yucca 's animal friend is Tito, a bat who loves the night life. Tito sleeps all day but is a "party" animal at night.
Gnomes
Augustus: He is the owner of the Toy Shop where Fixit works. Fixit made his shop a successful one, but Augustus always try to find a way to cut Fixit's salary.
Grind: He runs the Pixieville Bank, and no one has seen him either smiling or giving loan.
Rollo: He runs the Pixie Plaza, which is the most famous hotel in Pixieville and where Lockette works.
Ronf: He is the laziest Gnome of Pixieville, and is married to an energetic Gnome named Nella. He always want to sleep.
Animals
The animals have an active part in the society, just like the Pixies and the Gnomes. They have a job and the same rights as the other citizens of Pixieville. Unlike the Pixies and the Gnomes, they live in lairs and in the houses of the forest community in the forest around Pixieville. They like to be cuddled. They never do bad things like the elves, but neither do dishonest things.
