Griffin is the supporting character of Winx Club. She is the Headmistress of Cloud Tower, a member of the Company of Light, and a considerably powerful witch.
Personality[]
Miss Griffin is the headmistress of Cloudtower, school for witches. She believes in spreading the witchiness of witches to all her students, and believes witches to be superior to fairies. She's a former member of the Ancient Witch Coven. Although she started off as somewhat antagonistic, indirectly encouraging the Trix in their power-struggle against the Winx, Griffin was eventually revealed to be a woman of sound moral principles, and aided the Winx numerous times in their fight against the forces of evil.
In Season 3, it is revealed that as a young witch, she had once teamed up with Valtor to work for the Ancestral Witches. By her own admission, she wasn't willing to cross the line to mass genocide and planetary destruction.
