Removing per here. Tink/Terence is more popular on most sites.


* FanPreferredCouple:
** It would appear that Terence was supposed to be Tink's love interest, but a significant portion of the fandom thought he was a pretty boy caricature (he's simply nice to the point of blandness, with his only real quirk being that he's a NeatFreak), and thought that Tink/Bobble was much more appealing.
** Tink/Vidia has an immense following as well. There's a good number of fanfics dedicated to them. Not surprising, really. Just take a gander at the LesYay page.
** Tink/Silvermist also seems popular for Silvermist being a supportive friend to Tink.

** [[SameCharacterButDifferent Tinker Bell.]] In the [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan original]] [[WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverland movies]], she was a JerkWithAHeartOfGold with a HairTriggerTemper who attempted to outright [[WouldHurtAChild kill]] Wendy because [[ClingyJealousGirl she was jealous of her getting close to Peter]]. Meanwhile, she's shown to be a CuteClumsyGirl, NiceGirl, AllLovingHero, and sometimes a whimsical soul in the Disney Fairies franchise. ''Disney Fairies'' either just characterized her in what was best marketable to little girls, depicted Tink before she lost her innocence in whatever tragedy that fan theories like to make, and/or showed Tinker Bell as a multifaceted person. There's also the fact that [[SuddenlyVoiced she speaks]] unlike in the original ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' film and most other Disney media. Some don't mind her having a voice and find it to be a necessity given that she's the main protagonist, while others feel her having a voice is an insult to the original intention with Tink and takes away much of what made her fun in the original material.

(The later films do show that the fairies' speech is only intelligible to themselves, and sounds like small bells ringing to humans, as was the case in the original JM Barrie story, so the full voice is really TranslationConvention.)



** Although Tinker Bell was known for being TheVoiceless prior to this franchise, she has spoken in several comics from the 1950s released shortly after the original ''Peter Pan'' film, years before the franchise was conceptualized. She also speaks in the original book of ''Peter Pan'', although just in the fairy language that sounds like tinkling bells to anyone who doesn't understand it.

Evil Is Sexy TRS; this has become an objective, in-universe trope.


* EvilIsSexy:
** James in ''The Pirate Fairy'', [[Creator/TomHiddleston mostly because of his voice actor]].
** Vidia, though she was only "evil" in the first movie.

* DesignatedVillain:
** Arguably Clarion in ''Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand'' when she used her wish to shrink the hawks so they wouldn't eat fairies anymore. This is treated by others like it was an act of cruelty, even though hawks in this universe are sentient and perfectly capable of surviving without eating fairies but do nevertheless.

%%%%* EnsembleDarkhorse: * EnsembleDarkHorse: Rani and Prilla are among the most popular book-exclusive fairies.fairies, Rani largely because of the arc where she sacrifices her wings for Pixie Hollow, and Prilla because of her unique talent, cute design, and GenkiGirl personality. Both characters were AdaptedOut of the movies and eventually sidelined from the franchise in favor of movie-exclusive fairies, but they retained a small, dedicated contingent of fans throughout, and their return in the ''Never Girls'' books was met with happiness.
* GeniusBonus: Some of the fairies' names are references to things many readers wouldn't get on first glance.
** There's an instrument-maker called Strad, presumably in reference to Antonio Stradivari, the famous Italian luthier.
** One of the nurses is called Poppy, possibly in reference to opium and other narcotics/traditional medicines derived from poppies.

** The setting of Pixie Hollow also predates the franchise by several decades and even the release of ''Peter Pan'' itself by a month, as an early version of Pixie Hollow called Pixieland appears in a 1953 comic titled ''[[https://scrooge-mcduck.fandom.com/wiki/Wendy_and_Tinker_Bell_in_Pixieland Wendy and Tinker Bell in Pixieland]]''. Pixieland is even shown to have a reigning queen, predating Queen Clarion by several decades.

Added DiffLines:

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The franchise enjoys a good amount of popularity in Japan, as several manga were made based on it and the franchise is planned to get a ride themed around it in Tokyo [=DisneySea=] as part of the Fantasy Springs expansion, even though the franchise had concluded and died out in the West several years prior.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: How some of this more hardcore ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' fans feel about Tinker Bell being SuddenlyVoiced, on top of having become [[TookALevelInKindness nicer]] compared to how she was depicted in ''Peter Pan''.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** A fairy is born with a new talent that's either incredibly rare or has never been seen before. Fan talents tend to be of the StoryBreakerPower variety, with many being [[UpToEleven much better versions of canon talents]] or simply [[AllYourPowersCombined combinations of multiple powerful talents]]. Popular talents are {{poison|ousPerson}} and [[PlayingWithFire fire]].
