History Characters / DisneyFairies

* MeaningfulName: A fawn is a deer specie.

* StaticCharacter

* ArtEvolution: Tink's wings have gained a noticable pattern and a slight rainbow glimmer that was not present in the original ''Peter Pan'' films. Her dress, while remaining largely simple, is shown to be more detailed in the films, having a textured appearance that makes it clear her outfit is made from leaves, which was not clear in the original ''Peter Pan'' films. It is especially more detailed in ''The Great Fairy Rescues'' which adds more detail, as well a extra second layer to her skirt. Subsequent films though have reverted this change.

* ArtEvolution: Thanks to the jump to CGI, Tink's wings have gained a noticable pattern and a slight rainbow glimmer that was not present in the original ''Peter Pan'' films. Her dress is also more detailed, having a slight leafy texture, that makes it clear her outfit is made from leaves, which was not clear in the original ''Peter Pan'' films.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: While Tink was never implied to be dumb in ''Peter Pan'', the books and films portray her as being a GadgeteerGeneius who can craft a variety of gadgets using numerous objects, a trait that she was never implied to have in the ''Peter Pan'' films.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the original Peter Pan movie and Gail Carson Levine's books, she was generally snarky, jealous, and possessive. In the Disney Fairies movies, those aspects of her character are toned down, and she's more of a wide-eyed idealist at the beginning.

* ActionGirl: She likes adventure big time.
* [[AdaptationalNiceGuy Adaptational Nice Girl]]: She's much nicer and more likable in this series than in her original portrayal. Of course, her original portrayal is supposed to take place after the series...

* SuddenlyVoiced: PlayedWith. Tinker Bell was originally TheVoiceless in ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' and didn't speak at all until the ''Disney Fairies'' franchise, which eventually gave her the ability to speak and in the movies, a human voice, albeit only to [[TranslationConvention other fairies]], as she remains TheVoiceless to humans, who aren't able to understand her (aside from Peter Pan himself).

* HerNameReallyIsBarkeep: She is a tinker fairy whose name happens to be ''Tinker'' Bell.
* HeroicSacrifice: A non-lethal example in “SecretsOfTheWings”. [[spoiler: In order to warn the winter fairies about the upcoming ice who threatens the Pixie Dust Tree, she flies to their territory with no protection from the cold. Unfortunately, one of her wings breaks in the process, which is previously stated that there’s no cure for that, but she decides to keep it secret until the crises is over. She gets better, thanks to her long lost sister, Periwinkle.]]

* {{Irony}}: Tinker Bell tries to become a water fairy, light fairy, animal fairy and garden fairy in the first film (and has a failed attempt to persuade Vidia to be a fast flying fairy). By the end, she's happy to be a tinker family as she was born as. Come ''The Pirate Fairy'', she's turned into a water fairy, and isn't too happy with this change.

The main protagonist. Tinker Bell is a talented tinker-fairy and a wide-eyed and idealistic girl who, while prone to being as impatient, self-centered and impulsive as ever, is a nice and caring individual.

* SuddenlyVoiced: PlayedWith. Tinker Bell was originally TheVoiceless in ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' and didn't speak at all until the ''Disney Fairies'' franchise, which eventually gave her the ability to speak and in the movies, a human voice, albeit only to [[TranslationConvention other fairies]], as she is still voiceless to humans (aside from Peter Pan himself).

A tinker-talent fairy.

* SuddenlyVoiced: Having been TheVoiceless in animation and only spoken in comics prior to these movies.

* RapunzelHair: Her hair is extremely long.

* RapunzelHair: Her hair almost reaches her feet.

* FictionalDisability: She loses her wings several books in, making her the only wingless fairy in the series. The movies added [[spoiler: Lord Milori, who broke his wings in an accident and thus can't fly,]] but by that point Rani had been AdaptedOut, leaving them both alone in their disability in their respective canons.

* BeautyMark: One under her left eye.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: ''Iridessa Beyond The Sea'' describes her explicitly as "a brave fairy", whereas the movie version is primarily known for her cowardice.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: And how. Along with Tinker Bell and Vidia, she was significantly changed for the movies. In the books, she's a [[WhatsUpKingDude casual]], down-to-Earth sort of monarch who is [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething very involved]] in the everyday happenings of Fairy Haven. Her talent is also explicitly said to be leadership/"being the Queen," and she becomes an outright ActionGirl when the situation demands it, at one point leading a charge against a full-size ''dragon'' (and winning!) Compare this to movie Clarion, who [[DemotedToExtra takes a backseat]] most of the time and rarely knows what's going on in Pixie Hollow until the main cast either informs her about it or messes up badly enough to get her attention. The movies also give her a StarCrossedLovers romance, when she never showed any interest in a relationship in the books.

* NotSoDifferent: Zarina tries to convince Tinker Bell they're this in order to get her help in her pixie dust experiments, knowing it is a taboo. Fairy Gary also calls Zarina the "Tinker Bell of Dust Keepers".

* SmugSnake: She's highly vain about her ability to fly fast.

* HelpImStuck: There are several examples of this. In Peter Pan, her wide hips humorously get her stuck in a keyhole. Her butt gets stuck in a salt shaker and her head and shoulders get stuck in a bell in the Tinkerbell Preview shorts.

A former dust-talent fairy, kicked out by Fairy Gary after she experimented on pixie dust against his orders. No longer feeling welcome in Pixie Hollow, she left and became a leader of a pirate crew, one day hoping to return to Pixie Hollow to continue her pixie dust experiments in search of treasure.

Another fairy kingdom, located some distance from Never Land. They're friendly and optimistic, but also patronizing, silly, and sometimes dangerous. Their name comes from the fact that they use wands to instantly grant all of their wishes. While this makes them powerful, it's also made them incredibly shallow and lazy.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: They may be [[LazyBum]]s, but they have access to powerful wands that can grant their every wish in an instant. When the queen, Tutupia, sees Tinker Bell for the first time, she writes her off as a "prank" and ''vanishes her into thin air.''
* InnocentlyInsensitive: When they see the Never fairies for the first time, they call them "cute" over and over again, not realizing this is a faux pas. They also call pixie dust "magic dirt" and act incredulous and dismissive of the Never Land way of life.

* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Unlike the Never fairies, they're seven feet tall, and have access to incredibly powerful, dangerous magic with abilities far beyond that of pixie dust.
