FAIRY PROFILES – Tink’s new friends

TERENCE – A Boy Fairy
Tink’s best friend from the Sparrow Men, Terence is a Pixie Dust Fairy, meaning he distributes the daily ratio of Pixie Dust to all fairies in Pixie Hollow.

FAIRY PROFILES – Key characters
FAWN – An Animal fairy
This rascally imp is full of mischief and mirth – she loves to tweak Iridessa just to see her glow. Fawn is always ready to play and the more rough-and-tumble the game, the better.
IRIDESSA – A Light fairy
Dess is a detail-oriented perfectionist and chronic worry-wart. She tries to look on the bright side of things, but often senses disaster. As bright as her presence is, Iridessa is always trying to keep it together.
ROSETTA – A Garden fairy
Ro is a perfectly elegant and mannered fairy with a quick wit and loaded with charm. She eagerly gives beauty tips and make-overs to her friends and flowers, and always tries to look her best – as any perfect pixie would.
SILVERMIST – A Water fairy
Sil has a delightfully offbeat and upbeat way of looking at everything. She often listens to rumours from her babbling brook and she usually goes with the flow . . . but she can sometimes be a bit wishy-washy.
QUEEN CLARION
Queen Clarion is the symbol of Mother Nature for Pixie Hollow, a regal leader with a genuine love for her loyal subjects. She has a particular fondness for the spunky Tinker Bell, encouraging Tink’s inquisitive nature and helping to mentor the confused young fairy in her search for herself.
FAIRY MARY
Fairy Mary serves as mother hen to the tinker fairies, managing that group with a nurturing, loving attitude at every turn and encouraging Tink to accept who she is and embrace it.
CLANK & BOBBLE
The male tinker fairies Clank and Bobble take great delight in being the best they can be – and try to show Tinker Bell the intrinsic joys within their work. They just love tinkering – they’re constantly talking about it, constantly reflecting upon it, they even sing songs about it.
