Introduced in Fairytopia
Elina
"Together we're strong."'
- Voiced by: Kelly Sheridan
The main protagonist of the Fairytopia series. Elina is kind and friendly young fairy born without wings, but destiny has other things in store for her.
- All of the Other Reindeer: She is often bullied by some of the other fairies and pixies in the Magic Meadow for being born without wings.
- All Your Powers Combined: How she and the others defeat Laverna in the third film.
- The Apprentice: To Azura in Magic of Rainbow, though she already had shades of this in Fairytopia.
- Blue Is Heroic: Her magic color in Magic of the Rainbow is blue, and she represents the color blue in the Flight of Spring.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Laverna hypnotizes her in the climax of the first film, offering her wings in exchange for dooming Fairytopia. Azura manages to snap her out of it right in the nick time.
- The Chosen One: Implied. It’s noted in the first film that she “has the rainbow in [her] eye”, meaning she is “destined for greatness” and she’s saved Fairytopia numerous times.
- Chronic Hero Syndrome: If someone's in trouble, she always tries to help in any way she can. Laverna exploits this in the third film to trick her into turning her back into a fairy (she'd been struck as a toad at the time).
- Disability Superpower: Being wingless turns out to her advantage as Laverna's poison affects flight. Since she can't fly she is unaffected. And since she's had to walk everywhere anyway she can still travel long distances, unlike the other fairies who have relied on their wings and aren't used to walking.
- Fire-Forged Friends: With Nori in Mermaidia and with the apprentices in Magic of the Rainbow.
- Fish out of Water: A wingless fairy (at first). In the second film, she spends much of it underwater, which is an even more alien environment for her.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Played straight.
- He Is Not My Boyfriend: About Nalu when she realizes that Nori's mistaken them for a couple.
- Heroic Sacrifice:
- Downplayed in that it doesn’t involve dying, but in the second film, she leaps into the water to catch the poison vial Max drops to save Mermaidia, even though this results in her becoming a mermaid permanently (she had to be out of the water before the last pearl on her magic necklace turned white to regain her wings), meaning she will never be able to fly or even go home again. Luckily, they are able to rectify this by having her eat a True Self Berry, which restores her wings.
- Also in Magic of the Rainbow, where she throws herself in front of Laverna's blush-destroying magic beam.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Dandelion, combined with Those Two Girls, in the first film; they’re often seen hanging out together and Dandelion initially comes with her on her quest to find Azura. Also with Glee in Magic of the Rainbow, with the two becoming friends very quickly.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: In the first film, she wants wings like every other fairy more than anything, to the point where she nearly lets Laverna hypnotize her into helping her take over Fairytopia in exchange for wings. Fortunately, with some encouragement from Azura, she snaps out of it and defeats Laverna, after which she is rewarded with wings from the Enchantress.
- Interspecies Romance: Subverted. Initial Ship Tease aside, Elina and Nalu are just friends.
- My God, What Have I Done?: In Mermaidia: she outright states "What have I done?" when she exchanges her wings for a mermaid tail to save Nori, though she gets over it pretty quickly, seeing as Nori's life and the fate of Mermaidia are at stake. She also has this reaction when she realizes she accidentally released Laverna from her toadification curse.
- Pink Means Feminine: Her outfits all have pink as a prominent color. It’s a Barbie film, after all.
- Platonic Life-Partners: Ultimately revealed to be this with Nalu, despite earlier Ship Tease.
- Shipper on Deck: For Nori and Nalu in Mermaidia. And for Bibble and Dizzle in Magic of the Rainbow.
- Ship Tease: A bit between her and Nalu in the first film, but they’re ultimately confirmed to be Just Friends in the second. She has more Ship Tease with Linden in the third film.
- Unskilled, but Strong: When she first tries magic in the third film, her raw power surpasses anyone else in the class, but she initially has trouble controlling her abilities, nearly getting Sunburst covered in water and accidentally turning her blue using magical luminescence.
- Un-Sorcerer: She was wingless a fairy, before Enchantress gave her a pair.
- What the Hell, Hero?: In Magic Of The Rainbow, after she inadvertently helps Laverna.
Bibble
"Elinapoof!"'
- Voiced by: Lee Tockar
Elina's pet puffball. True to his name, he mainly speaks in gibberish and strange sounds.
- The Load: You'd be surprised how much Elina would get done without him.
- Love at First Sight: With Dizzle in Magic of the Rainbow.
- Shipper on Deck: Of Elina and Linden at the end of the third movie.
- Sidekick Creature Nuisance: Often regarded as such out out-of-universe (and occasionally in-universe too).
- Non-Human Sidekick: To Elina.
- The Unintelligible: He largely speaks in cutesy-sounding gibberish, though he can say other characters' names intelligibly (and has a habit of calling Elina "Elinapoof").
Azura
"You know, you have the rainbow in your eyes. That's a sign you're destined for great things."
- Voiced by: Venus Terzo
One of the seven Guardians of Fairytopia and guardian of the Fairy Town reigon.
- Blue Is Heroic: She is a fairy Guardian and has blue as her main colour motif, including her clothes, eyes and hair.
- Character Narrator: Narrates the Previously on… montages of both the second and third movies.
- Damsel in Distress: She is kidnapped by Laverna part way through Fairytopia along with all the other Guardians.
- Damsel out of Distress: Yet, she stays calm and tries to lie and trick Laverna instead of screaming, and really didn't need "saving". Laverna just needed to be defeated so she could escape herself.
- Demoted to Extra: In Mermaidia, she only narrates the Previously on… montage at the beginning and shows up at the end of the movie. She returns to being a major character in the third film.
- "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Though she doesn't fight her, she says basically this to Elina in the climax of Fairytopia, urging her to resist Laverna's attempts to brainwash her by offering her wings (the thing she wants more than anything). It works, snapping Elina out of the brainwashing and allowing her to defeat Laverna.
- The Mentor: Has this role to Elina in Fairytopia, encouraging and supporting her, and sending her on her quest. It becomes official in the third film where she takes Elina in as her apprentice.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: To Elina.
Laverna
"I'll get you, Elina! I'll get you if it's the last thing I do!"

- Did You Actually Believe...?: Pulls one on the Enchantress after going back on her word."Did you really think I'd save your people?"
- Excessive Evil Eyeshadow: Wears this constantly (even when she’s turned into a toad).
- Forced Transformation: At the end of Mermaidia, she is turned into a toad after unknowingly eating a True Self Berry. In Magic of the Rainbow, she’s a toad for the first half before tricking Elina into breaking the curse.
- Freudian Excuse: She indicates that she’s felt ostracized and unwanted all her life for being seen as “different” and hates living in her sister’s shadow. In the third film, she also mentions how she “always wanted to be a sparkle fairy” and that it’s “too bad I wasn’t born that way”, possibly indicating self-esteem issues.
- God Save Us from the Queen!: She very briefly becomes ruler of Fairytopia in Magic of the Rainbow, when she forces the Enchantress into handing over her crown to save the First Blush of Spring. She immediately locks away the Enchantress in a chamber that prevents her from using magic and tries to destroy the Blush anyway For the Evulz, dooming Fairytopia to ten years of winter. Fortunately, she’s swiftly defeated by Elina and the other apprentices.
- Green-Eyed Monster: She’s extremely jealous of her twin sister and seeks to take her throne from her, believing it to be her “birthright”.
- Imposter Forgot One Detail: Laverna almost outs herself while disguised as Sunburst by comforting Elina after the rest of the apprentices ostracize her for releasing Laverna. Laverna failed to account that Sunburst was an Alpha Bitch who was absolutely not on friendly terms with Elina.
- Killed Off for Real: Her ultimate fate in Magic of the Rainbow.
Hue
- Voiced by: Mark Oliver
A friendly butterfly who aids Elina on her quest to find Laverna.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Never appeared again after the first movie. Understandable, as with Elina now having wings, his point in the story ultimately became redundant.

- Voiced by: Tabitha St. Germain
Elina's best friend.
- Blow You Away: She often uses her powerful wing gusts to blow away the bullying pixies who bother Elina.
- Celebrity Resemblance: She looks like Akiko Wakabayashi, though that wasn't the intention.
- Demoted to Extra: While never a main character, Dandelion appears less frequently in the sequels.

- The Pollyanna: She's often cheerful and positive.
Dahlia
"Thanks for dropping by, but get lost."

- Defector from Decadence: Worked for Laverna sometime in the past, but has since reformed.
- Heel Realization: States that when she realised Laverna was evil, she stopped working for her.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She is generally rude and cynical, and initially refuses to help Elina due to her ongoing grudge against the Guardians. However, when Elina points out that Azura would help in her place, she soon changes her mind and does all she can to help her.
- Living MacGuffin: Much of the second half of the film revolves around Elina and her friends trying to find her, as she has information that could help stop Laverna.
- Nature Spirit: Possibly. She is described multiple times as being a dryad and lives inside a tree in the Wildering Wood, but she doesn't seem all that different from the other fairies.
- Reformed, but Rejected: After turning against Laverna due to realising her plans were immoral, she was rejected by the Guardians and most other Fairytopians, who dismissed her as a spy. Only Azura truly believed she'd changed.
Nalu

- Voiced by: Chiara Zanni
A moody mermaid who often hangs out with Prince Nalu. While initially dismissive of Elina, she eventually joins forces with her to save Nalu when he's kidnapped.
- Cannot Spit It Out: Towards Nalu for a while, because she thinks Nalu and Elina like each other. They assure her they're just friends.

- Fire-Forged Friends: With Elina over the course of the film.
- Insecure Love Interest: Both times when confronted about her feelings for Nalu, Nori insists that it couldn't work between them because he's a prince, and she's a commoner. Luckily for her, Nalu's just as in love with Nori as she is with him.

Either she hands over the Immunity Berry or he drops the vial of Laverna's poison into the water, killing all of Mermaidia by sundown. Elina chooses to protect the merpeople, but Max shows he had no intention of letting them live to thank her for it in the end as he drops the poison anyway, forcing Elina to catch and cork it before it hits the water, costing her the chance to become a fairy again.
