The main character, described as "an average kid who no one understands" in the theme song.


  • Abandoned Catchphrase: "Uh...internet?" used to be his catchphrase in early seasons, a response to someone asking him where he got something that he actually wished for. This Wild Card Excuse was abandoned in later seasons thanks to real-world internet usage becoming more widespread to the point of ubiquity.
  • Accidental Misnaming: Some characters have gotten his name wrong at least once: His mother, Cosmo, Trixie, and an intelligence-drained Jimmy Neutron have all called him "Tommy" in "Boys in the Band", "Fairly Oddbaby", "A Wish Too Far!" and "The Jerkinators" respectively, Adam West mistakes Timmy's cry of "Vicky" for the boy's own name in "Miss Dimmsdale", and Quddus calls him "Tommy", "Terry" and "Tony" in the TRL interview.
  • Achievements in Ignorance: A Running Gag is that he gets straight Fs, to the extent that when he gets an A+ in "Cosmo Con," the rest of the class is convinced that it's a sign of the apocalypse and flee the classroom in terror, with Crocker being convinced he used his fairies to cheat on the test (not knowing that using fairy magic to cheat is prohibited by Da Rules). As it turns out, Timmy just got bored and used his scantron to doodle.
    Timmy: Thank you, short attention span!
  • Acquired Situational Narcissism: In "A Wish Too Far!", Timmy's sudden surge of popularity turns him into a raging egotist who abandons his friends and treats his fairies like slaves. Losing them temporarily snaps him out of it, but this becomes a plot point in several later episodes as well.
  • Aesop Amnesia: At least 90% of the episodes' plots wouldn't be possible if Timmy actually remembered the dozens, if not hundreds, of times he learned to heed Wanda's warnings about the consequences of his actions, to actually be careful what he wishes for, to ensure magical gadgets and the like only work for him, etc.
  • Alliterative Name: Timmy Turner: even his legal name is this, Timothy Tiberius Turner.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: He sometimes gets bullied by his classmates for no reason. The opening sequence features him getting laughed at by the other kids on the bus, followed by someone throwing a volleyball at him as he leaves, knocking him face-first into a puddle.
  • All There in the Manual:
    • In the special "77 Secrets of the Fairly Oddparents", his middle name is revealed to be Tiberius.
    • And apparently, even though they've recently contradicted things from a lot of early season episodes, the writers did not change Timmy's middle name. "Manic Mom Day" is so far the only real episode to say Timmy "Tiberius" Turner.
  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Well, I'm Timmy Turner. I'm ten years old and I have a short attention span. Also...(pauses for a moment, then walks off)
  • Baby Morph Episode: He wishes himself to revert back to infancy to avoid getting harmed by Francis in "Baby Face". This later backfires when he tries to wish himself back to his normal age, only to discover that while he retains his intelligence as a ten-year-old, he's now too young to speak properly.
  • Badass Adorable: Timmy Turner has confronted bullies, aliens, and the Darkness ever since his Fairies showed up.
  • Badly Battered Babysitter: There were some instances where he had to watch over very young children and he took a shellacking, to say the least. Episodes include "Mission: Responsible", "Poof's Playdate", and "Bad Heir Day".
  • Barbarian Hero: Unsurprisingly was this in the appropriately titled episode, "Timmy the Barbarian".
  • Betty and Veronica: He could be considered the Archie to Tootie's Betty and Veronica's... Veronica. Both are very drawn to him (almost to levels of questionable sanity), but while Tootie is sweet and open about it, Veronica keeps her feelings a secret (though Timmy is aware of them) and denies them for the sake of popularity.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Since Poof’s introduction in Season 6, Timmy developed a brotherly bond and instinct to watch over his baby godbrother.
  • The Big Damn Kiss: With Tootie in the live-action movie. Also with Trixie in Wishology.
  • Big "NO!": A few, "School's Out: The Musical!" for example.
  • Book Dumb: Timmy Turner is incredibly resourceful and able to outsmart adults, fairies, pixies, snarky genies, aliens and all sorts of other beings many times his age, but the series goes out of its way to ridiculously illustrate how bad he is with anything that involves language arts and math; it's a Running Gag that he always gets straight Fs. Said Fs always come from Mr. Crocker, who is obsessed with giving Fs to all of his students (except for obviously AJ). In The Movie, Timmy flat out calls him a lousy teacher. So perhaps his lack of book smarts could be attributed to his short attention span and having a lousy educator.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: Directly related to Book Dumb above; Timmy's not nearly as dumb as people seem to think he is and he has more common sense than the majority of the cast. The problem is that he's also a slacker who doesn't like to put forth the effort to actually apply himself. Although with a teacher like Crocker (who gives everyone but AJ Fs), one could understand why he does not try hard (if Crocker is even doing a good job teaching, to begin with). At the same time, Timmy has confessed to having a short attention span, which may play into it. This actually helped him once: he lucked into an A because he got bored in the middle of a test and used his scantron sheet to doodle.
  • Bully Magnet: His babysitter Vicky, the bully Francis, and even his teacher Mr. Crocker like to torment him more than everyone else.
  • Butt-Monkey: The universe hates this kid. Parents who would rather go out for a night on the town and tend to discipline you with a cage, a bitchy and manipulative babysitter, a gray-skinned bully, and a spastic teacher who gives you "F"s for the hell of it? Good thing he has fairies. And whenever he tries to wish himself out of something or someone that's bothering him, he only creates an entirely new and different problem for himself and frequently also drags every other person on earth with him on this problem.
  • The Cameo: During the Oh Yeah! Cartoons era, Timmy made an appearance in "Terry and Chris", another Oh Yeah! short directed by Butch Hartman and based on a premise created by John Reynolds (a child at the time whose mother had connections with one of Hartman's friends). In the short, Timmy appears among Terry's class after Terry's teacher tells everyone to take their seats, albeit with black hair rather than brown.
  • Character Catchphrase:
  • The Chew Toy: Most of the abuse he endures is meant to be entertaining, whenever it's not Played for Drama.
  • Chick Magnet: Tootie's obsessed with him, he has moments of Ship Tease with Trixie, somehow he attracted the attention of a protozoan princess, there's an adult woman named Carly that (as implied by a heart-shaped tattoo) he had a brief fling with one night (though he doesn't remember), Trixie's friend/Unknown Rival Veronica has the hots for him, and an episode ends with him going out with a Girl of the Week named Missy.
  • The Chosen One: In the Wishology trilogy, Timmy is declared the Chosen One in combating the Darkness, and he takes every opportunity to remind everyone that he is. He only is because, as it turns out, someone else Missed the Call. Although it's shown in "The Exciting Middle Part" that Turbo Thunder lacked the qualities necessary to be the true chosen one when he tries to attack the guardian of the ice wand without provocation. Timmy on the hand chose to ask for the Guardian's help, proving himself to be the true chosen one.
  • Cool Big Bro: To Poof. Poof looks up to him greatly while Timmy has a Big Brother Instinct towards him.
  • Cosmic Plaything: He's tormented constantly. The writers even go so far as subverting the Wonderful Life trope by letting the character of Jorgen Von Strangle telling Timmy that his very existence causes misery for everyone. He is also frequently tormented by Francis The Bully, Vicky his evil babysitter, and Mr. Crocker his Sadist Teacher. Even when Timmy wishes for his situation to improve, he is forced to wish everything back to normal (more often than not because said wishes proceed to make things worse!), a very notorious Reset Button, thus continuing his ongoing misery.
  • Create Your Own Villain: Timmy has a knack for creating thorns in his side:
    • He accidentally turned Mr. Crocker into the fairy-obsessed nutcase he is today by going back in time and unintentionally revealing the latter's fairies as a child thanks to Cosmo.
    • He brought Dark Laser and his space fleet to life with a magic copy machine.
    • Gary was Timmy's imaginary friend who he forgot about for years on end; he's a tad bitter about that, to the point where he tried to get rid of Timmy and take his fairies in his debut and later returned to kidnap Timmy's friends and trap them on Unwish Island.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He may be Book Dumb, but when the chips are down, Timmy can kick a lot of ass. Case in point; coming up with a Gambit Roulette in "Fairly Odd Baby" which completely outwits and defeats the combined forces of Anti-Cosmo and the Head Pixie. His extended duel with Mr. Crocker in "Abra-Catastrophe" also qualifies.
  • Cute, but Cacophonic: He's prone to screaming and yelling a lot when he gets upset, which can get very shrill and grating.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Mostly in the Oh Yeah! Cartoons series, but he does get sarcastic at times in the main series too.
  • Did Not Get the Girl:
  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • One of his main flaws. Most of Timmy's wishes are intended to improve his life right now, and he doesn't think about the consequences. Wishes like being an adultnote , having Christmas every daynote , being alone with his crushnote , and wishing for parents that could "care less" after getting fed up with their strict rulesnote  usually end up turning against him because he didn't foresee a usually obvious flaw. Even by season 10, he still hasn't realized this, claiming that thinking doesn't solve anything.
    • "Inspection Detection" plays this more seriously than usual: Timmy never tries to hide the things he wishes for, leading to him getting accused of shoplifting when he can't explain where or how he got them. Later, he offers to plug himself into a lie detector to prove his innocence, but this falls apart when his parents ask him where he got the lie detector.
  • Dirty Kid: Not always, in "Escape From Unwish Island" he wished for supermodels.
  • Dogged Nice Guy: He likes Trixie, but she ignores him most of the time.
  • Dreadful Musician: Exaggerated in "One Man Banned": his attempts at playing a mere triangle cause disasters to occur. He plays it at school and destroys the auditorium. He plays it at home, volcanoes emerge from the ground and erupt and it starts raining frogs. At the episode's climax, he plays it after losing his skills and splits the moon in half.
  • Dumbass Has a Point: In Norm's debut episode, Cosmo and Wanda warn him against having Norm grant any wishes for him, because said wishes tend to bite the user in the butt. Timmy retorts that Cosmo and Wanda's wishes always tend to bite him in the butt anyway, and unlike Cosmo and Wanda's, Norm's are rule-free.
  • Embarrassing Tattoo: A heart with the name "Carly" on it he received during a blackout holiday with Mark Chang. Apparently, Carly is a beautiful woman he met who has her own heart tattoo with Timmy's name.
  • Emotionless Boy: Becomes this in "Emotion Commotion!" when he wishes he had no emotions and became flat and unable to appreciate himself.
  • Enemy Mine: With Dark Laser, Vicky, and Crocker in "Wishology." Because The Darkness has successfully isolated him from his friends and fairies, the only thing he has to fall back on is his enemies. He secures their loyalty by promising to pay Vicky, show Crocker his fairies, and allow Dark Laser to destroy him later.
  • Even the Guys Want Him: In addition to Sanjay's obsession with Timmy, A.J. was quite attracted to Timmy as Timantha. Not to mention that both Chester and A.J. seemed to be swooning over Timmy when he was aged up to a 16-year-old supermodel
  • Evil Costume Switch: In "Nega Timmy", Evil Timmy gets a vampire cape and a top hat for some reason.
  • Evil Laugh: In "A Bad Case of Diary-uh!" he evil laughs for dramatic effect while shadowing himself with a flashlight when he decides to use Vicky's diary entries against her. Just to drive home that what he's doing is very, very bad.
  • Eye Beams: Early on in the first season he wishes for Heat Vision. Due to it never being unwished it shows up in a later episode.
  • Flanderization: His callousness and jerkish tendencies pretty much became him in season 5, to the point that he was completely unlikeable (to some anyway, and you can't blame him considering all the crap he has to put up with). This was downplayed from season 6-8, before relapsing back into it in season 9 upon the introduction of Sparky, then become worse in season 10 upon Chloe's introduction.
  • Freudian Excuse: Yes, he can be a whiny, selfish bastard with a Lack of Empathy, but he has a lot of tough stuff going on in his life: his idiotic, Abusive Parents, terrible reputation among his schoolmates, his Sadist Teacher, his Babysitter from Hell... Yeah, it's not hard to see why he has a hard time keeping a smile on his face.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: For the few friends he does have, they can treat him like unreasonable crap at times. Not that he treats them any better in episodes such as "A Wish Too Far" and "Power Pals".
  • Future Badass: As seen in "Channel Chasers", in the Bad Future, he's a badass ninja fighting against Vicky's tyranny.
  • Gender Bender: To Timantha in "The Boy Who Would Be Queen". It's forced on him initially by a frustrated Wanda, but he takes advantage of his new insight into the way girls think to understand Trixie better.
  • Goofy Buckteeth: This loser who no one understands is characterized by his large buckteeth.
  • Goo Goo Getup: Cosmo and Wanda make him dress as a baby in "Spellementary School" due to their difficulty in adjusting to Poof being sent away on his first day of school.
  • Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: In "Mice Capades", Poof turns him into a representation of cartoon mouse Cheezy from The Sleazy and Cheezy Show. He still wears a pink shirt and hat after his transformation, but doesn't wear pants.
  • Hates Reading: He hates reading. Specifically:
    • In "Shelf Life", Timmy comes up with various ways to have fun with books without reading them during his summer vacation, and tries to do a book report on "The Rat in The Spats", a book that isn't on the approved list.
    • In "Future Lost", Timmy becomes interested in a book called Stevie Sparks and the Comet Pirates and wishes his world were like that book without reading beyond the first chapter. Towards the end of the episode, when everything is wished back to normal, Wanda asks him if he learned a lesson. Timmy's reply: "Yep! Never read a book again!"
  • He Is All Grown Up: In "Channel Chasers", his adult form is really fit, with rugged good looks. And in the live action movies, he is played by Drake Bell.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: In the Wishology special and in the first season episode Power Mad.
  • Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Most on the time, his inattention and/or mistreatment at hands of Vicky and/or his parents are Played for Laughs.
  • Horror Host: The episode "Dimmsdale Tales", which serves as a send-up to horror anthologies with the framing device occuring at a Squirrely Scouts camping trip at night, has Timmy serve as the scary stories' narrator.
  • Idiot Hero: An Enforced Trope: given that the show's premise revolves around him having two near-omnipotent fairies at his command, he needs to be stupid for the plots to require any effort for him to solve (or for the plots to even happen). This is outlined in the third Timmy / Jimmy crossover, where its a plot point that the combination of Timmy's fairies and Jimmy's ability to actually use them intelligently explicitly makes the two unstoppable.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: In one episode he pretended to be a cool rich kid to be accepted in Trixie Tang's social group, only to discover that he wasn't being loved for being himself but for the stuff he wished for.
  • Incredible Shrinking Man: Not Your Size May Vary, a number of episodes have Timmy wishing himself to become smaller. Since he's pretty short for his age anyway one would wonder why he would do this so much.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: The eyes represent his youth (10 years old) and the fact he is the hero of the series.
  • In Touch with His Feminine Side: Downplayed, but he wears a pink shirt and baseball cap and likes soap operas.
  • Irony: If the original Channel Chasers canon is to be believed, apparently the little "twerp" will actually play football in college by the time he's 18 and then become tall and buff as an adult.
  • It's All My Fault: Timmy usually says this when his wishes go awfully wrong.
  • I Was Beaten by a Girl: Timmy is constantly getting beaten up by Vicky (who to be fair is 6 years older than him). It even happens in the theme song.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: This is normally the case, but Depending on the Writer is in play. While some of his wishes are normally made out of selfishness, Timmy is quick to see the errors of his ways and will try to set things right. Underneath it all, he's still a Nice Guy at heart. Every once in a while, Timmy makes a more selfless wish, such as the time he let Tootie borrow Cosmo and Wanda so she could enjoy her birthday for a change. In fact, it's clear in the "Wishology" trilogy that he's The Chosen One not because he's strong, but because he's kind.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: In his worst moments. For example, when he starred in a reality show and the director wants to replace Cosmo and Wanda, he angrily rejects the idea and defends them, but quickly reveals that he only does it for the free ice cream they provide him.
  • Karma Houdini: Every now and then, Timmy causes something horrible to happen with a wish and he doesn't get punished for it. In the episode Mother Nature for example, Timmy's wish causes the entire town of Brightburg to be completely destroyed and presumably thousands of deaths- and it's Played for Laughs and never mentioned again.
  • Keet: He has No Indoor Voice and is very very energetic.
  • Kid Hero: While he often causes as many problems as he solves, there have been cases where danger has occurred through no fault of his own, and he does step up to the plate and become a genuine hero. Wishology is the most known example of this.
  • Kid Hero All Grown-Up:
    • Though the continuity has been snarled to hell at this point with the live-action movies, newer cartoon episodes, Retcons, and Reset Buttons, he's been shown grown up a few times. In the original canon through Channel Chasers, he apparently keeps Cosmo and Wanda until he's 18 and later goes on to become a badass resistance fighter and spy against Vicky's evil empire. Thanks to some help from the ten-year-old Timmy, this future was averted and he's shown to have a normal life with his own "average kids". His wife's identity is kept ambiguous (though his kids look like they could be either Trixie's or Tootie's. Tommy has black hair like both Trixie and Tootie and Tammy has Trixie's hairstyle but wears glasses similar to Tootie's).
    • Per the live-action Fairly Odd Movie film series, which appears to be a separate continuity, he still has Cosmo and Wanda at 23 and has become even more of a loser, being a Manchild who still lives with his parents and goes to elementary school. Though, by the movie's end, he does at least manage to grow up a bit and get together with Tootie.
    • The live-action revival show The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder begins with an 18-year-old Timmy Turner passing his fairies on to his cousin Vivian and her stepbrother Roy, no longer needing Cosmo and Wanda now that he's a well-adjusted adult ready to attend college.
  • The Kid with the Remote Control: Literally in "Channel Chasers". He gets a magical remote control that allows him to insert himself into any TV show and manipulate it as he sees fit. He can even use some of the functions in real life, like using the pause function to stop time.
  • The Kirk: Of the main trio. He isn't as reasonable as Wanda, but he isn't as impulsive as Cosmo (most of the time).
  • Kissing Under the Influence: In "Love Struck!", he jabs himself with a love arrow so he can date Tootie, and in the book Token Wishes, when Tootie wishes he'd kiss her.
  • Locked in a Freezer: With Vicky in "Snow Bound", and they even become friends during it. At least until the end.
  • Loser Protagonist: The entire show revolves around him being a loser in every aspect of life. In fact, the episode "It's a Wishful Life" showed that the lives of all of his friends, family, and enemies, including Cosmo and Wanda, would be much better without him around.
  • Manchild: Invoked in the Live-Action Adaptation, where he simply refuses to grow up well into his adulthood so he can keep his fairies.
  • Mistaken for Aliens: Because of Timmy being pursued by an army of killer robots known as the Eliminators and a lack of records proving his existence (as a result of Jorgen erasing everyone's memories to try and protect Timmy from the Eliminators), the agents of M.E.R.F. mistake him for an alien in Wishology.
  • Multiple-Choice Past: "Abra-Catastrophe" established that Timmy spent the first eight years of his life trapped at home with his parents. This is contradicted with a flashback in "The Good Old Days" (which shows his parents leaving him under the care of his grandfather Pappy during his infancy) and his recollections in "Wishology" Part I (where he claims to have had a crush on Trixie since kindergarten).
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: 99 out of 100 times, the main threat of episode is caused by Timmy himself. To be fair, he does acknowledge this, and does make up for it in the end.
  • No Sympathy: For one episode at least, "Bad Heir Day", has him injured several times while trying to find Poof. Uncharacteristically, Wanda gives him No Sympathy despite the fact Timmy is a Badly Battered Babysitter, mostly because he lied to Wanda about Poof's whereabouts.
  • Not Allowed to Grow Up: It's been revealed that Timmy made a wish to prevent everyone on the show from aging. This might include him, given how he's being 10 since 1999.
  • Now or Never Kiss: He takes the opportunity to kiss Trixie in "Wishology" Part II when it looks like everyone is doomed.
  • Only Sane Man: While he can be quite jerkish, he's not one as much as he is misunderstood; Timmy is usually the show's voice of reason, which he frequently acts as to Vicky, his parents, and Mr. Crocker among others.
  • Out of Focus:
    • In Season 9 he has become a supporting character in many episodes, losing protagonism in relation with Mr. Crocker, his dad, Cosmo, and Sparky, ESPECIALLY the two former, and to a lesser extent, Foop.
    • In Season 10, he has been forced to share the series' limelight with Chloe.
    • In Fairly Odder, He Doesn't appear after The first episode when he leaves for college and gave his Fairies to his cousin, Vivian. But he was mentioned a few times.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: A few: "Christmas Every Day!" (Birthday Boy), "Shiny Teeth" (a tiara), "Abra-Catastrophe!" (only some funny, albeit magical, glasses) and the first "Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour" implied he has used many more. In the first part of the "Wishology" Trilogy, he LITERALLY uses a paper thin disguise; he covers his face with a Mona Lisa style painting to fool the Dimmsdale Police into thinking he's a woman. (It works.)
  • Picked Last: Apparently happens to Timmy frequently. So much so that one episode had him wish that he was the most wanted kid in the world. Most wanted also has another meaning!
  • Pint-Sized Kid: Despite being about 10 years old, he probably isn't that much taller than most adults' knees. His babysitter, Vicky, is tall enough to worry about tripping over him even. Many argue that this more or less symbolizes how little he feels compared to all the adults.
  • Precocious Crush: He had a crush on a woman named Carly in Five Days of F.L.A.R.G. and on the hula lady from Beach Blanket Bozos.
  • Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: With Chloe. Timmy's the more cynical, seen-it-all guy to Chloe's endlessly excited and eager girl. Makes sense, considering he's had his fairies for quite a bit longer.
  • She Is Not My Girlfriend: What he says about Tootie.
  • Shout-Out: His superhero identity as Cleft the Boy Chin Wonder is an obvious reference to Robin from Batman. His villain identity in "Mighty Mom & Dyno Dad" is a reference to Galactus, a Marvel Comics villain. His middle name is a reference to Captain Kirk.
  • Signature Headgear: He always wears a pink hat, which is always associated with him. He uses it in one episode to help Cosmo and Wanda identify him, and in the live-action film, him replacing it with a different pink hat is a sign he's maturing.
  • Take Over the World: Unintentionally in "School's Out: The Musical!" He wishes for a world where kids are in charge and ends up being the president of it by popular demand.
  • This Loser Is You: However, sucking does not prevent him from defeating multiple enemies with or without Functional Magic.
  • Took a Level in Dumbass: While never genius level of smart, Timmy's idiot behavior is played up in season 10 with one episode showing he is incapable of dressing himself or even walking without the help of Cosmo, Wanda, and Chloe.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: See Flanderization above. As the series went on, Timmy became more selfish and uncaring towards others. This was downplayed from seasons 6-8, before relapsing back into it in the tenth season upon the introduction of Chloe Carmichael. This may be Justified, however, due to all the crap he takes.
  • Troll: He tends to mess with Chloe when she's experiencing misfortune, as shown in "Whittle Me This" and "Girly Squirrely".
  • The Unapologetic: He mentions in "Timmy the Barbarian" that the advantages of being a barbarian are taking what he wants, kicking butt, and never having to apologize.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Timmy sometimes fails to thank or appreciate his fairies' wishes and takes them for granted. He almost loses them because of this in "A Wish Too Far"
  • Unlucky Everydude: Described in the intro as "an average kid that no one understands".
  • Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Whenever he is being a selfish jerkass, it can be hard to root for him, even if it's Played for Laughs.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Of his own doom. Abra-Catastrophe shows us that Timmy was the one who originally called Vicky when he believed his parents had abandoned him. The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker reveals that his time-hopping back to Crocker's childhood to find out why he's so twisted inadvertently causes the exact event that made him that way.
  • Unwitting Pawn: In "School's Out: The Musical!", H.P. and Sanderson use him to exploit a loophole in fairy law as part of their plans.
  • Wacky Parent, Serious Child: The Serious Child to his Parents' Wacky Parents.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Timmy is terrified of clowns. And bare feet and oranges. For one episode.
  • Wild Card Excuse: "Uh... internet?" in earlier seasons. It has since become an outdated gag in The New '10s due to Technology Marches On.
  • Why Couldn't You Be Different?: Timmy's parents actually wanted a daughter, which is why he is dressed in pink.
  • Would Hit a Girl: In one episode, he had no problem attacking Spatula Woman when he was Cleft the Boy Chin Wonder.
  • Wrongful Accusation Insurance: In "Inspection Detection". Apparenlty, proving Francis shoplifted a lot of goods was proof enough that Timmy didn't shoplift any of them. It's true, mind you, but there was no reason to know this.
  • Your Size May Vary: Earlier on, Timmy occasionally varied between the size of just being a somewhat short ten-year-old to being able to fit in his parent's HAND, which would make him barely the size of a basketball.

    Cosmo 

Cosmo Julius Cosma

Voiced by: Daran Norris

Played by: Jason Alexander (human form in A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cosmo_image.png
"I'm not bright, big words confuse me, I have the attention span of a rodent, and Wanda loves me anyway!"

Timmy's fairy godfather. Dumb as a sack of bricks, he can barely grant a wish by himself without causing mass chaos.


  • Alliterative Name: Cosmo Cosma.
  • Ambiguously Bi: He is married to Wanda and it's shown that he is attracted to other women as well, but he is also shown to be fanboying over a few good-looking men.
  • Amusingly Awful Aim: In "Most Wanted Wish", Wanda and Cosmo are forced to compete against all of the other fairies in Fairy World to be Timmy's Fairy God Parents, which involves having to shoot the other fairies in the butt to eliminate them. Cosmo ends up trying to shoot one of the fairies that Timmy has distracted but hits his target in the ear instead and even admits he was the worst shot in Fairy Academy leaving it up to Wanda to win the contest for them. Subverted in the end when he and Jurgen are the only ones left and he manages to land a hit on him and win the competition.
  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: This is his defining character trait in later seasons, where his inability to focus on a single task or pay attention to what's going on around him causes a lot of problems.
  • Baby Morph Episode: He turns himself and Wanda into babies in "Poof's Playdate" due to wanting to join his son Poof and the other de-aged fairies in a wagon ride.
  • Badass Family: Jorgen Von Strangle, the most powerful fairy in the universe, is his cousin.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: Even though he's a silly idiot for most of the show, he does have moments where he proves that there's more to him. When Wanda was captured in Abra-Castatrophe, he beefed himself up so that he could save her. Not to mention that got in a few good punches.
  • Big Brother Worship: He brags about his older brother Schnozmo in the episode ''Double-Oh Schnozmo".
  • Bully Magnet: In high school, he was not only bullied by the resident Jerk Jock, but was also so pathetic even his school's math club joined in the harassment.
  • Bumbling Dad: To his godson, Timmy, and later his own son, Poof. He means well, he just doesn't have the capacity of a responsible adult, and is less mature than both of them.
  • Characterization Marches On: His original depiction in Oh Yeah! Cartoons and a few of the early episodes depicted him as more laid back, with a low, cool "game show host" voice and a lot less ditziness. After that, his voice became higher and more hyper-active, and his intelligence and attention span more similar to what it is today.
  • The Chew Toy: Cosmo is also somewhat of a Butt-Monkey at times. Two words: Super Toilet.
    Cosmo: So much clogging! [gets into fetal position and sucks his thumb]
  • Chivalrous Pervert: While happily married to Wanda, he hasn't been above showing attraction to other women, particularly the Tooth Fairy and Princess Mandie.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: His ditziness and short attention span mean that he's usually operating on a completely different wavelength. Getting through to him is... challenging. One instance of eccentricity that stands out would be in "Chip off the Old Chip", where he brings up that he once had an idea for an edible wristwatch. When Wanda points out that the watch couldn't keep time and tasted terrible, Cosmo proudly replies that this was his watch's slogan.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: He doesn't take too kindly to another man showing affection towards Wanda, particularly Juandissimo as well as Quddus in the TRL interview.
  • Curtains Match the Window: Like many fairies, he has the same eye (green eyes in his case) and hair colour.
  • The Ditz: One of the dumbest characters, though he starts maturing once he gives birth to Poof.

  • Elopement: With Wanda, unknowingly to (and against the wishes of) Mama Cosma. For 10,000 years. Ahem.
  • Fairy Companion: The premise of the show is that he and Wanda accompany Timmy on his various adventures.
  • Flanderization: His stupidity worsens starting in season 3.
  • Fluffy Tamer: In "This Is Your Wish", he manages to tame Snowball the Hydra.
  • Friendless Background: He was bullied a lot in high school, and Wanda was the only one that signed his yearbook.
  • Gender Bender: He becomes the female Cosma in "The Boy Who Would Be Queen".
  • Goo-Goo-Godlike: As revealed in "Fairly Odd Baby," as a newborn, he caused so much damage with his raw power that the Fairy Council decreed that no other fairy babies would ever be born. Ironically, he was the one that he would later give birth to a fairy baby.
  • Happily Married: With Wanda, depending on the episode, and more often in the earlier seasons than later ones. Lately, has become prevalent again.
  • Hidden Depths: Scatterbrained though he is, he does on occasion show (usually brief) moments of lucidity or inspiration. He is also seen being as reluctant or anxiious as his wife Wanda towards granting some of Timmy's more reckless or impulsive wishes, such as in "Christmas Every Day".
  • High-School Sweethearts: According with "The Fairy Beginning", he and Wanda met in the Fairy Academy.
  • Immortal Immaturity: Despite being thousands of years old he acts immature at times and still wears diapers.
  • Informed Deformity: Cosmo is considered very ugly, though Wanda would disagree.
  • Innocently Insensitive: Zig-zags between this and being intentionally insensitive to Wanda.
  • Insufferable Imbecile: While it varies Depending on the Writer, his stupidity often makes him act selfish, careless, and not a very good husband to Wanda.
  • Involuntary Shapeshifting: In "The Gland Plan", his "fagiggly gland", the gland that controls his shapeshifting, starts to fail, causing him to spontaneously shapeshift against his will. A transplant with Anti-Cosmo (who has the same problem) sets him right.
  • Ironic Name: The name Cosmo carries the meanings of ordered, moderated and disciplined.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sometimes shows that he cares for Wanda and Timmy despite frequently being immature, insensitive and selfish. Though this is on a case-by-case basis.
  • Keet: Due to his crazy and careless behavior.
  • Kindhearted Simpleton: At his best. He genuinely means well, but is too stupid to realize when his actions aren't very helpful.
  • Lethally Stupid: When Timmy isn't the one causing problems, it's typically Cosmo and his idiocy that's doing it.
  • Literal Genie: Apply to him and Wanda (more him) — to quote Timmy: "You guys take things way too literally."
  • Made of Iron: Fairies in general are immortal and can't be killed by earthy means, but Cosmo- being a frequent source of Slapstick humor- seems to be able to take even more punishment than the average fairy thanks to Rule of Funny.
  • Manchild: He's even more childish than Timmy, who is only ten.
  • The McCoy: He is the most impulsive character of the main trio.
  • Meaningful Name: "Cosmo" refers to the universe.
  • Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds: He has a bad habit of causing civilization-ending catastrophes by complete accident. Notably, he somehow managed to sink Atlantis nine times.
  • Mister Seahorse: In "Fairly Oddbaby", he's the one who gives birth to Poof, not Wanda.
  • Momma's Boy: Is a real doormat to his mother.
  • Morphic Resonance: He still has green eyes whenever he changes forms and everything he turns into is green all over.
  • Non-Human Sidekick: When at Timmy's side during his exploits as Cleft the boy Chin Wonder, Cosmo becomes Ace the Chinhound. In addition, his and Wanda's most common form are a pair of goldfish.
  • Opposites Attract: Wanda was clearly not as destructive as Cosmo was as a baby and is infinitely smarter than him.
  • Parental Substitute: Literally. He and Wanda were assigned to Timmy in response to his neglectful parents.
  • Papa Wolf: At the end of the day, whenever Timmy and Poof are in trouble, Cosmo will do whatever it takes to keep them safe.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: Sunk Atlantis (nine times, mind you), destroyed Pompeii, etc.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: He became even more comedic as the series progressed.
  • Power Incontinence: In "The Gland Plan" his shape shifting gets out of control.
  • Really 700 Years Old: Fairies age extremely slowly; Cosmo and Wanda appear to be child-sized 30-somethings but are, in reality, well over 10,000 years old.
  • Repetitive Name: His surname Cosma is just his forename with a different letter at the end.
  • Shipper on Deck: For Timmy and Tootie, although he will help Timmy avoid her if needed. Mostly inverted/subverted in the Live-Action Movie, at least until the end.
  • Shout-Out: His identity as Ace the Chin Hound is a reference to Ace the Bathound, Batman's pet in the comic. His identity in "Mighty Mom & Dyno Dad" was a reference to the Silver Surfer.
  • Sickeningly Sweethearts: In the Oh Yeah! Cartoons and the First Season, he and Wanda act like a loving marriage , and they hold hands and kiss constantly. Eventually these character trait fades, and they began to act like an old married couple, whom sometimes seem to just tolerate each other.
  • Simpleton Voice: Thanks to Vocal Evolution, Cosmo sounds as stupid as he acts, especially in later seasons.
  • Smart Ball: He tends to lampshade his holding this, such as in one episode where he comments that "I know I'm not usually one to inject logic into a situation-whatever a situation is-but..."
    • He also has a surprising moment of intelligence in "Fly Boy" when he explains to Wanda that Poof switched Timmy's head with a fly's and provides a quick and frighteningly accurate recap of what Timmy and Poof were up to, including the fact that Timmy and Poof were stuck in a web in Mr. Crocker's living room, and that the latter ran a spider hatchery. Even Wanda's impressed by this.
    Wanda: Cosmo, that was brilliant!
    Cosmo: I like monkeys! (his head deflates)
    Wanda: ...and it's over.
  • Too Dumb to Live: It's routinely pointed out that his stupidity is a danger to himself and others. Wanda is basically the only reason he's survived this long, even considering he's technically immortal.
  • Took a Level in Badass: In "Abra-Catastrophe": "5-Second Massive Pecs".
  • Took a Level in Dumbass: While he was still silly in earlier episodes, he wasn't quite known for being dumb. This is especially noticeable in the Oh Yeah! Cartoons segments. From season 3 onward, he became an idiot, and his intelligence progressively degenerated to the point where he eventually became Lethally Stupid.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: As a result of his Flanderization. He went from being sweet, but oblivious, to being callous and reckless to the point of not caring about the lives of people around him.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: He usually ends up making Timmy's problems harder than making them better. Downplayed, as Cosmo doesn't necessarily encourage bad behavior from Timmy, he simply just doesn't know any better.
  • Trauma Button: Any mention of Super Toilet (a past wish of Timmy's that went horribly wrong, more so than usual in fact) sends Cosmo into a panic.
    Cosmo: It took the plunger! THE WHOLE PLUNGER!
  • Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: He, along with Timmy, can be real jerks who are hard to root for, though in Cosmo's case he typically is dumb enough not to know better.
  • Unwitting Pawn: In "Fairy Idol". He's manipulated by Norm into quitting as Timmy's godparent so that Norm can have a shot at a godkid of his own.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Despite how he treats them, Jorgen considers Cosmo and Wanda his closest friends.
  • Vocal Evolution: Listen to how he sounds in the Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts compared to the regular series episodes. It's almost as if Daran Norris didn't voice him in the early episodes, but he did. His voice was a lot deeper and more suave sounding. In the documentary I Know That Voice, Norris explained that he started out as a Phil Hartman impression, but became wackier from there.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifter: Of course, since he's a fairy, he's able to transform into anything to mask himself from everyone.
  • Wacky Cravings: When pregnant with Poof, he ends up eating Timmy's collection of vintage baseball cards.

    Wanda 

Wanda Venus Fairiewinkle-Cosma

Voiced by: Susanne Blakeslee

Played by: Cheryl Hines (human form in A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wandafop.png
"Oh, shut up and kiss me, will you?"

Timmy's godmother. She's usually the one who sees the consequences of Timmy's wishes, but is often ignored for her very justified worry.


  • Anti-Hero: She can range from just nagging to a border-line psychopath, depending on the episode.
  • All There in the Manual: The special "The 77 Secrets of The Fairly Oddparents" reveals her full name to be Wanda Venus Fairiewinkle.
  • Baby Morph Episode: She is turned into a baby fairy in "Poof's Playdate".
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished: One of the outtakes to School's Out! The Musical actually implies that she broke wind.
  • Berserk Button: If you want to stay on her good side, don't call her fat and never EVER bet her for a nickel.
  • Burning with Anger: Wanda has gotten angry enough that the flames show up in her eyes, and her hair lights on fire.
  • Butt-Monkey: She suffers the same - or even more sometimes- Amusing Injuries than Cosmo and Timmy.
  • The Cassandra: She always sees that the wishes will go wrong, and is always ignored.
  • Cheery Pink: Wanda has pink hair and pink eyes, and is Timmy's loving fairy godmother.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: She gets rather displeased when Cosmo ogles another woman.
  • The Comically Serious: Though Cosmo is typically the comic relief character, she can be this.
  • Curtains Match the Window: Like many fairies, she has the same eye and hair colour. Pink in her case.
  • Daddy's Girl: She and Big Daddy love each other.
  • Dating What Daddy Hates: Her father dislikes Cosmo immensely, which is somewhat justified considering the fact that Cosmo is the reason that no fairies were born for 10,000 years following his birth.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Especially towards Cosmo when he says or does something stupid.
  • Divergent Character Evolution: In the original shorts (and some of the early episodes), Wanda was just as dim as Cosmo (with them even claiming to be "two halves of one idiot"). But over time, she evolved into the smarter of the two, and the straight man to her husband and godchild's antics. As of late, she seems to be reverting back her original characterization.
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: A really mild one, but in the Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts and Season 1, her skin had a mild, but noticeable pink shade to it compared to Cosmo and Timmy. But after that, her skin color was changed to be identical to her husband's and godchild's.
  • Elopement: With Cosmo, unknowingly to (and against the wishes of) Big Daddy.
  • Fairy Companion: The premise of the show is that she and Cosmo accompany Timmy on his various adventures.
  • Flanderization: Into a nag in seasons 4 and 5, downplayed from season 6 onward.
  • Gender Bender: Becomes the male "Wando" in "The Boy Who Would Be Queen".
  • Girls Love Chocolate: Chocolate is her favorite food and she is prone to going absolutely crazy over it. "Just Desserts" has her giving in to Timmy's wish because he promised her that she would be able to eat a lot of chocolate.
  • Handy Feet: Wanda uses her feet to change Poof's diaper in the beginning of Manic Mom-Day.
  • Happily Married: To Cosmo, depending on the episode, and more often in the earlier seasons than late ones. Lately, has become prevalent again.
  • High-School Sweethearts: According with "The Fairy Beginning", she and Cosmo met in the Fairy Academy.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While she can be a bit of a nag at times, she has every right to be concerned and is always there when she's needed.
  • Literal Genie: Apply to Cosmo and less her — to quote Timmy: "You guys take things way too literally."
  • Mafia Princess: As revealed in the episode where her father goes missing and she has to take over the family's "perfectly legitimate" garbage collection empire. She ends up making so many outrageous changes (including painting all the trucks pink and insisting on using lace doilies everywhere) that the men take her to "the butcher" as payback. Literally—they take her out to dinner at a nice steakhouse to thank her. Bonus points for the horse head in Cosmo's bed; it's a stuffed animal that he sleeps with.
  • Mama Bear: She will get violent if either Timmy or Poof are threatened.
  • Meaningful Name: "Wanda" means "A Slender, Young Tree" in Polish. It can also refer to "wand".
  • Morphic Resonance: She always retains her pink eyes when she transforms, and whatever she turns into is usually pink all over.
  • Non-Human Sidekick: As Clefto the Chinhound, she's a superhero dog accompanying Timmy during his adventures as Cleft the Boy Chin Wonder. In addition, the most common form she and Cosmo assume are a pair of goldfish.
  • No Sympathy: At her worst, as seen in "Bad Heir Day", where she sends Timmy back to the alligator exhibit of the rabid animal zoo for failing to keep an eye on Poof when he had just risked life and limb to get his godbrother back.
  • Only Sane Woman: Wanda is usually the only one aware of how insane everything is, or knowing of how bad everything is going to end up. (Just keep her away from chocolate). This fact is often pointed out by Timmy and Cosmo, but they still continue with their antics despite that.
  • Opposites Attract: Wanda is typically more cautious and smarter than Cosmo is.
  • Parental Substitute: Literally. She and Cosmo were assigned because of Timmy's neglectful parents.
  • Really 700 Years Old: Fairies age extremely slowly; Cosmo and Wanda appear to be child-sized 30-somethings but are, in reality, well over 10,000 years old.
  • Shipper on Deck: For Timmy and Tootie, although she will help Timmy avoid her if needed. Mostly inverted/ subverted in the Live-Action Movie, at least until the end.
  • Shout-Out: Her identity as "Clefto" is a reference to Krypto the Superdog, Superman's pet in the comic. Her identity in "Mighty Mom & Dyno Dad" was a reference to the Silver Surfer.
  • Sickeningly Sweethearts: In the Oh Yeah! Cartoons and the First Season, she and Cosmo act like a loving marriage , and they hold hands and kiss constantly. Eventually these character trait fades, and they began to act like an old married couple, whom sometimes seem to just tolerate each other.
  • The Spock: The most reasonable character of the main trio (most of the time).
  • Stealth Pun: Her most common disguise is a goldfish, get it?
  • Surrounded by Idiots: Downplayed, however - she actually has an average intelligence, but because the other main characters are a 10-year-old boy prone to making wishes that aren't well thought out and her really, REALLY dumb and idiotic husband, she practically looks like William James Sidis next to them.
  • Sweet Tooth: Wanda has an affinity for chocolate, candy and other sweet foods.
  • Took a Level in Dumbass: Certain modern episodes have her going back to the days where she and Cosmo were equal in intelligence, except in this case they can both be brain dead. For example, "Girly Squirrley" has her and Cosmo are inside of a bear, where she proposes the brilliant idea of sticking her wand in stomach acids, thus leaving Timmy without a way to use magic.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: She really likes chocolate, to the point that Cosmo is revealed to have hidden her in Chocolate City, Utah in "Where's Wanda?" due to the location being her favorite place on Earth and Timmy convincing her to go along with his wish that everyone only ate desserts in "Just Desserts" by repeatedly mentioning chocolate between every other word he says.
  • Tsundere: She tends to do all the Tsundere methods as foil to her idiot husband Cosmo.
  • Unwitting Pawn: In "Fairy Idol".
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Despite how he treats them, Jorgen considers Cosmo and Wanda his closest friends.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifter: She only shape shifts when she has to mask her identity.
  • Women Are Wiser: She's generally portrayed as being wiser than Cosmo and Timmy.

Other Main Characters

    Mr. and Mrs. Turner 

Voiced by: Daran Norris (Mr. Turner), Susanne Blakeslee (Mrs. Turner)

Played by: Daran Norris (Mr. Turner in the live-action Fairly Odd movie trilogy), Teryl Rothery (Mrs. Turner in the Fairly Odd live-action films)

Mrs. Turner: I'll get our coats!
Mr. Turner: Forget it, at the speed we're having fun, our friction will keep us warm!
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/timmyparents.png

Timmy's clueless and neglectful parents, they care more about their happiness than Timmy. Mr. Turner is a pencil pusher while Mrs. Turner is a real-estate saleswoman.


  • Abusive Parents: More and more so as the series goes on, though it's totally Played for Laughs and mostly depending on the gag more than the plot of the episode. They genuinely love Timmy, but act more like adult children than truly evil abusers.
  • Action Dad: On occasion, Timmy's dad proves to be surprisingly athletic, preforming complex handsprings and feats of superhuman strength with ease.
  • Action Mom: Surprisingly enough, Timmy's mom has been showing signs of this with the recent increase in focus on the parents.
  • Adults Are Useless: The Show is a parody of abusive, negligent, self-centered modern parents, after all, to the point that Timmy has fairy-godparents since he's functionally an abused orphan.
  • Almighty Mom: Timmy's Mom attempts to do this to the mean Dr. Wendell after he steals Timmy's ball. Eventually she, without losing her motherly tone, decides to slam Dr. Wendell in the face with the ball and steal his perfect dentures instead.
  • Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: What can you say other than poor... poor Timmy. If they're not ignoring him, they're very embarrassing. Forget it, at the speed we'll be having fun, the friction will keep us warm!
  • Amazonian Beauty: Mrs. Turner is this as Mighty Mom.
  • Ambiguously Bi: While Mr. Turner is indisputably in love with his wife, he's made some comments about other men that come off as... very admiring. And that's before getting into his rampant Chip Skylark fanboyism.
  • Attractive Bent-Gender: Mr. Turner came off as this in the episode "Miss. Dimmsdale" when he cross-dressed to compete against Vicky. He attracts the attention of Catman (Adam West). He even goes as far as to winning the competition.
  • Battle Couple: From time to time, especially when they know Timmy's in danger. Their best examples include "Ruled Out" where Mrs. Turner lassos a gator's mouth shut when it's about to eat Timmy and Mr. Turner promptly beats up the gator. "Abra-Catastrophe" also has them teaming up to pummel the snot out of Mr. Crocker when he attempted to use his scepter to destroy the Turner family.
  • Berserk Button: Never say Dinkleberg's better in front of Mr. Turner.
  • Birds of a Feather: In contrast to Cosmo and Wanda, Mom and Dad have rather similar personalities.
  • Brainless Beauty: Mrs. Turner. She's very unintelligent like her husband, but in some episodes, she's shown to have quite a beach body.
  • Bumbling Dad: Dad is a highly unintelligent father, though Mom also has her fair share of idiocy.
  • Bungling Inventor: Timmy's dad, whose already dangerously unstable creations would occasionally get made worse by Timmy wishing for "improvements".
  • Camp Straight: Dad is married to Mom, but swings into demonstrating effeminite traits and interests whenever it's funniest. The time he entered into (and won!) a Beauty Contest particularly stands out.
  • Carpet of Virility: Mr. Turner, underneath his white shirt and black tie, is rather hairy.
  • Character Catchphrase: "DINKLEBERG...!"
  • Characterization Marches On: Mrs. Turner was a real estate agent in earlier seasons, but since Season 5 onward she is mostly portrayed as a housewife. In "The Old Man and the C-" she made it clear she'd rather make Timmy get a job than have one herself.
  • Charlie and the Chocolate Parody: Not exactly, but Pencil Nexus, the pencil factory where Timmy's dad works, seems to be a pencil-based version of the Chocolate Factory.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: Flashbacks show that they've known each other for most of their lives, with Timmy's Dad having a crush on Timmy's Mom since childhood.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: In the later seasons, even Cosmo sometimes seems sane compared to Mr. Turner! It's hard to get any weirder than attempting to make ice cream out of birdseed and gum, having an obsession with eggnog to the degree of wishing to become an eggnog-themed superhero or taking Timmy's claim that good parents behave like dogs at face value.
  • Comedic Sociopathy: Mr. Turner's hatred of Dinkleberg reaches downright insanity in later seasons. He repeatedly steals and damages his property, tries to murder him on multiple occasions, and once out a twenty-thousand dollar bounty on his head. It's all Played for Laughs, and hilariously so.
  • Comically Missing the Point: They thought "Icky Vicky" was about pumpkins, if their embarrassed reaction to Doug Dimmadome's rhetorical question about the song's subject in Channel Chasers is any indication.
  • Competition Freak: Mr. Turner is obsessed with finding something he's better at than Dinkelberg. He also enters a lot of contests with the hopes of eventually beating him.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: One of the reasons why Mr. Turner hates Mr. Dinkleberg so much is because he is Mrs. Turner's ex-boyfriend. He also acts like this when Mr. Crocker comes over for a "parent-teacher conference". Although, this is Played for Laughs since he thinks Mr. Crocker is more attractive than he looks and he's worried that he's going to steal his wife away from him.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Both of them, but most commonly Timmy's dad, he might be scrawny, cowardly, and the stupidest character on the show (which says something when you see his competition), but put Timmy in danger around him and all bets are off. He actually beat up a giant alligator once.
  • Dark Horse Victory: In "Miss Dimmsdale," Mr. Turner ends up winning the pageant against Vicky and the other women.
  • Depending on the Writer: They're either overworked or just neglectful. Mrs. Turner's intelligence varies between beings the smarter of the two to being just as stupid as her husband.
  • The Ditz: Timmy's Dad is probably even dumber than Cosmo.
  • The Dividual: While they do have distinct characterizations, with Timmy's dad in particular getting a lot of solo episodes in later seasons, they're generally always together and have very similar personalities.
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In the original Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts, they always have their faces hidden offscreen, to the point where their original model sheets depict them as headless. Their outfits are also considerably different: Mr. Turner wears a teal three-piece suit and brown shoes, while Mrs. Turner wears a red dress and high heels, gold bracelets, and a pearl necklace. The one time "Where's the Wand" showed their hair, Mrs. Turner was depicted as a redhead with a swirly hairstyle similar to Wanda's and Mr. Turner had the same hairstyle as Timmy and Cosmo.
  • Embarrassing First Name: Mr. Turner's first name was Mom before he changed it. Is it any wonder people called him "Dad" as a kid? Mrs. Turner's name is less embarrassing (it was Barnaby), though Mr. Turner thought her name was beautiful. May be averted in Mrs. Turner's case, as when her husband goes back to calling her Barnaby in "Polter-Geeks", she doesn't seem to mind.
  • Enemy to All Living Things: In the episode when Mrs. Turner enters a gardening contest, her plants die every time she touches them.
    Mrs. Turner: Everything I touch dies!!!
  • Even the Guys Want Him: Timmy's Dad managed to win Miss Dimmsdale over his own wife, after all. In the very same episode, Dinkleburg complimented him on how good he looked in his old swimsuit without a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
  • Excrement Statement: Timmy distracts his parents to keep them from finding Poof and the de-aged Cosmo, Wanda, Jorgen, Cupid, Juandissimo and Tooth Fairy in "Poof's Playdate" by convincing them that Dr. Bill actually recommended fetch as an activity that could improve their parenting rather than croquette and lying that good parents behave like dogs. When Mr. and Mrs. Turner return after retrieving the croquette mallet that Timmy used as a fetching stick, Mr. Turner implies that he used Timmy's advice as an excuse to poop on Dinkleberg's lawn.
  • Fan Disservice: In episodes like Dad Overboard, The Big Fairy Share Scare, Crockin' The House, and Certifiable Super Sitter, Mr. Turner is visually unsettling when he's either dressed in drag or appears overweight in small swimming trunks. In the episode Miss Dimmsdale, he manages to do both.
  • Flanderization:
    • From overworked and busy in the first four seasons to putting Timmy after themselves from season 5 onward.
    • Timmy's dad in season 9 hatred of Mr. Dinkleberg has gotten to him stealing from Mr. Dinkleberg. Also his Manchild behaviour has been cranked up. By late Season 10, he's reduced to acting like a stereotypical special needs child, most notably in "Certifiable Super Sitter".
  • Foil: In Season 10, to Clark and Connie Carmichael, their neighbors. While the Carmichaels are selfless eco-warriors, the Turners are wasteful and selfish. However, while their methods differ, the Turner's extreme self-interest matches the overly-big picture focused the Carmichaels' in the sense that they both neglect (but love) their children.
  • Gender-Blender Name: Not their current names, but back when they were ghost hunters (and thus likely their childhoods) Mr. Turner's name was "Mom" and Mrs. Turner was named "Barnaby". They changed their names after moving from one side of Dimmsdale to the other.
  • Genius Ditz: Timmy's Dad is occasionally shown to be good at mechanics and a number of his creations actually work. Timmy's Mom is also dimwitted and clueless, but she's a bit smarter than her husband and also has her moments of competence.
  • Genki Girl: Timmy's mom is an adult version. Her husband is also a male example.
  • Handy Feet: In the episode Manic Mom-Day, Mrs. Turner is seen pushing a vacuum cleaner with her foot while ironing and flipping pancakes.
  • Happily Married: While there are a few one off marital problem jokes between them, they are shown to still be deeply in love with each other and regularly go off on romantic getaways while neglecting Timmy.
  • Hartman Hips: Mom, as the picture above shows.
  • The Hedonist: Both seem to live entirely to have fun with each other while neglecting their son.
  • Henpecked Husband: Dad is sometimes submissive to his wife.
  • Homemade Inventions: Mr. Turner is fond of these. Surprisingly, a number of them actually work.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: They can't see all of the obvious hints that Vicky is evil. Mr. Turner is also convinced that Mr. Dinkleberg is evil, in spite of him being a Nice Guy who wouldn't hurt a fly.
  • Idiot Houdini: If it wasn't for Timmy, their antics would've gotten them in huge trouble or even killed on several occasions
  • Informed Kindness: The show, including Wanda, attempts to paint Timmy's parents as trying their best to raise him and wanting and knowing what's best for him. But often, especially later in the series, they hardly ever show that and mostly came off as Abusive Parents that are rather apathetic to Timmy's well being, which includes continuously hiring Vicky to be his babysitter while brushing off the obvious signs of her being evil, as well as making no attempts to hide that they view Timmy as a burden.
  • Ink-Suit Actor: Mr. Turner bears a strong resemblance to his voice actor Daran Norris, who eventually got to physically portray him in the live-action films.
  • Insufferable Imbecile: Both are dimwitted, and instead of being loving parents, they are neglectful and irresponsible.
  • Irrational Hatred: Mr. Turner really hates the Dinklebergs for no good reason. Some episodes earlier on implied it was envy of their financial position and material assets, but even that fell apart in later seasons.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While both are quite neglectful and put each other before their own son, they do genuinely love Timmy and regularly show it. Anytime he feels too neglected, they eventually see the error of their ways and always try to make it up to him.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: Their neglect towards Timmy finally bites them hard in "Poltergeeks" when their ghost catching while using Timmy as bait ends with them hospitalized and losing all the money they earned earlier in the episode.
  • Lethal Chef: Timmy's mom. She makes horribly-tasting foods to the point Timmy destroys them and waits for dessert. At times, the meals Mrs. Turner makes have been used by Timmy as plot devices. "Perfect Nightmare" reveals she stopped cooking altogether at some point and resorted to stealing food from bar mitzvahs.
  • Large Ham: Timmy's Dad is prone to theatricality and loud, over-the-top yelling at the drop of a hat.
  • Lethal Negligence: "That's Life!" revealed that whenever Timmy went to summer camp, his parents would forget to feed whatever pet he had at the time, resulting in them all dying. His parents would proceed to bury them and tell Timmy they simply ran away.
  • Mama Bear: Mrs. Turner has some moments of this, despite her usual oblivious and neglectful attitude towards Timmy. One of her best examples is in Abra-Catastrophe where she doesn't hesitate in beating up Mr. Crocker for what he's done to her son.
  • Manchild: Both of them tend to act like irresponsible kids in grown up bodies.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Mrs. Turner looks surprisingly good in a swimsuit—though Timmy would beg to differ.
    • She becomes a Walking Swimsuit Scene in Miss Dimmsdale, Beach Blanket Bozos, and Please Don't Feed The Turners. She also wears a swimsuit in Microphony, Snow Bound, Beach Bummed, School's Out, and Love at First Height.
  • Multiple-Choice Past: The details of how Timmy Turner's parents first met and got together are never consistent.
    • "Father Time" establishes that Mom and Dad first met when they were kids and that Dad got Mom to marry him by showing off a trophy he won for winning a race.
    • "Information Stupor Highway" has Dad claim that he got Mom to fall for him by sending her a threatening love letter.
    • Mom tells Timmy that she met Dad at the sporting goods department in "Who's Your Daddy?"
    • "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker" goes with Timmy's mother dating Dinkleberg since childhood and Dad catching her on the rebound after Dinkleberg dumped her in college.
  • Noodle Implements: According to "Vicky Loses Her Icky", the Turners have a Father's Day tradition that involves Timmy sticking a net up Mr. Turner's pants. We're never given any specifics on how this works.
  • Obnoxious In-Laws: As established in the episode "Timmy Turnip", Timmy's Mom's parents do not like Timmy's Dad, to the point that they periodically sic weasels on their son-in-law.
  • One Head Taller: In the cartoon, Mr. and Mrs. Turner are more or less the same height. However, in the live-action movie, Mr. Turner is noticeably taller than his wife.
  • Out of Focus: While Mr. Turner has became a more prominent character as the series goes on, Mrs. Turner's appearances have become less frequent.
  • Pair the Dumb Ones: They are both dimwitted and clueless, with the mom being only slightly smarter.
  • Papa Wolf: Mr. Turner, despite being rather dimwitted and neglectful, is willing to fight off a Sewer Gator to protect his son. Like his wife, he also attacks Mr. Crocker in Abra-Catastrophe for threatening Timmy.
  • Parental Neglect: They are quite neglectful and extremely selfish (especially Mr. Turner, who grabs things screaming "MINE!"). There are times when they put Timmy's happiness after their own, and in the "Wishology" trilogy they fail to notice he's been in Fairy World for an extended period of time, and don't notice they forgot to take him on two family vacations.
  • Parental Obliviousness: They can never comprehend that Vicky is a Babysitter from Hell, even when the evidence is right in front of them. It gets worse in later episodes where Vicky doesn't even try to hide her true nature in front of them anymore. Taking the worse factor a step further, in "Vicky Gets Fired", Timmy shows his parents incriminating evidence of Vicky torturing him, but they don't even bat an eye. In fact, they only get upset at Vicky and fire her because she erased their reality tape.
  • Parents as People: In the earlier seasons, they were depicted as loving but flawed parents. Later seasons made them more neglectful, but they still had better moments.
  • Point of Divergence: One episode reveals that if Timmy's dad had lost a footrace when he was a kid, he'd have ended up going to "Dictator School" as punishment and eventually taken over the world.
  • The Power of Love: In "Ruled Out", Timmy wishes for them to stop nagging him about things like bathing, eating healthy, and mowing the lawn. However, when he goes off on his own to save Cosmo and Wanda, their parental instincts override the magic and they start fearing for their son's safety.
  • Prophetic Name: They were called Mom and Dad as children, though this especially makes sense for Mr. Turner since his name used to be Mom.
  • Rags to Riches: As of season 10, the Turners become wealthy thanks to Chloe providing Mr. Turner with a stock tip.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Mr. Turner is the only confirmed male fan of Chip Skylark (aside from his own son Timmy), and wins the Miss Dimmsdale pageant, and enjoys time at a spa, and...
  • Reverse Psychology: Mr. Turner, in "Wishy Washy".
  • Screams Like a Little Girl: Mr. Turner has a well known girly scream.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Mr. Turner is jealous of his neighbor Dinkleberg for being more well-off and successful than he is and despises him, despite him being shown to be a rather nice guy who thinks of Mr. Turner as a friend.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Timmy's Dad has shown signs of this more than a few times. Primarily it's just him thinking he's gorgeous or him thinking others think highly of him.
  • The Snack Is More Interesting: In "Christmas Everyday", when the world is stuck on Christmas meaning the economy remains closed so the grocery stores and banks aren't operating, everybody laments they want food and money while Mr. Turner laments he wants more eggnog (but nothing else apparently).
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Since Season 7 onward, Timmy's dad has more and more amount of screen-time in the show and he is the main character of many episodes.
  • Statuesque Stunner: In addition to being pretty, Mrs. Turner is nearly as tall as her husband. On top of that she's as tall or taller than some of the men on the show.
  • Sticky Fingers: They seemed to have developed kleptomania in Season 9. In "Perfect Nightmare" it's revealed Timmy's mom steals all the food they eat from Bar Mitzvah. Timmy's dad has a Running Gag of revealing he stole his household appliances from Dinkleberg and he also revealed in "Dog Gone" he steals a lot of pencils from work.
  • Took a Level in Dumbass: Both started out as relatively normal but quickly became dumber for the sake of comedy around season 7. One early episode even implies Timmy's dad has the potential to become one of the most successful dictators in history and could have subjugated the entire world under his rule had he made some different choices in his early life; it's hard to imagine him being capable of running a lemonade stand in later seasons.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: They started out as inattentive but loving parents. From season 5 onward, however, their treatment of him became worse and the show started heavily implying that they resented their son.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Mr. Turner has an obsession with eggnog around Christmas time.
  • Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Mrs. Turner is leagues ahead of her husband in terms of looks go. This is more apparent in episodes like Miss Dimmsdale.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Mr. Turner, to an extent. Mr. Dinkleberg donated his kidney to save his life and yet he still thinks that he is evil. Obviously, this is Played for Laughs and it's meant to show that Mr. Turner is stupid and delusional rather than evil.
  • Unnamed Parent: Lampshaded and parodied in "Father Time!": "My real name is (truck drives by), but everyone calls me Dad." This was repeated when Mom showed up. Also in the episode "Odd Jobs" Timmy's father addresses Timmy's class for a career day, and introduces himself by saying "My name is Timmy's dad!"
    • We find out in "Polter-geeks" that Mr. Turner's name was Mom. No wonder he was called "Dad" as a kid.
  • Unknown Rival: Mr. Turner hates the Dinklebergs and relishes any opportunity he finds to show them up, but his neighbors typically are oblivious of his hostility towards them.
  • The Unreveal: Several, in regards to their first names. The closest they get are in "Father Time" (where the name Todd is just barely heard under the truck horn, referring to Mr. Turner) and "Poltergeeks" (wherein Mom is revealed to have been named Barnaby at one point).
  • Unseen No More: They initially had their faces out of frame during the Oh Yeah! Cartoons era, but after The Fairly OddParents became a full-fledged series, their faces would stop being obscured.
  • Wacky Parent, Serious Child: The Wacky Parents to Timmy's Serious Child. Timmy is hardly all that serious, but he sure looks like it compared to them.
  • We Want Our Idiot Back!: In "Smart Attack!" Timmy wishes his dad to become the smartest man in the world, with a head of Einstein Hair to go with it. While great at first, Timmy's dad becomes increasingly distant and gets extremely close to exposing Cosmo and Wanda to the world via dissection. Fortunately, he's persuaded by his son to not go through with it and realizes that Timmy's happiness comes first before scientific interest. Timmy then proceeds to wish his dad back to his idiot self.
  • When You Coming Home, Dad?: At first anyway.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: While he's not particularly convincing, Mr. Turner has zero problems wearing women's clothing when it suits his mood.
  • Why Couldn't You Be Different?: They wanted Timmy to be a girl.
  • Women Are Wiser: Mrs. Turner is wiser than her husband, which admittedly isn't saying much since she's still pretty dumb.
  • You Monster!: Mr. Turner is prone to screaming this at Mr. Dinkleberg, generally after he's done something extraordinary nice and selfless.

    Vicky Flannigan

"I don't mean to be mean all the time! I just am!!"

Timmy's malicious babysitter who takes delight in tormenting Timmy and the other children in Dimmsdale. Her two biggest loves are pain and money.


  • Abusive Offspring: It's shown that her cruelty extends to her own parents, considering they're both absolutely terrified of her.
  • Antagonist in Mourning: Briefly in "Wishology" Part II, where she feels bad for Timmy sacrificing himself to the Darkness.
  • Anthropomorphized Anatomy: Turns out she has tiny people in her body, as revealed on Tiny Timmy!.
  • Anti-Role Model: She is certainly not the babysitter you should look up to.
  • Arch-Enemy: Along with Denzel Crocker, she serves this role to Timmy.
  • Asshole Victim: It's hard to feel bad for Vicky considering that she's a very Ax-Crazy Babysitter from Hell who goes out of her way to torture (or in some cases kill) Timmy without remorse.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Happens a lot of times, especially in her Final Boss selves. In Breakin' Da Rules, she's turned into a dragon in the console version, and in the Game Boy Advance version, the boss is a giant monster resembling her. In the show, she takes the form of a giant Killer Robot in Power Mad and a giantess that Timmy imagines in order to defeat Gary in Imaginary Gary.
  • Ax-Crazy: She's a crazed psychopath who will go above and beyond to torture kids For the Evulz. She literally chases Timmy with an axe in House Wrecker, even appears to be smiling.
  • Babysitter from Hell: Played straight in the early episodes, when the worst she did was give Timmy chores to do and take away his fun (like forbidding him to watch TV until his chores were done). Exaggerated as the series went on, with her using weapons, blackmail, and framing Timmy for things he didn't do, so that way the Turners will believe that Timmy needs a babysitter because he's a bad kid.
  • Beauty Is Bad: Despite her evil nature, several male characters (most notably Mark Chang) have complimented her appearance.
  • Berserk Button: Vicky has two:
    • She has one in "Certifiable Super Sitter". When Chloe babysits in her turf, which is the Turners' house, she bursts right in here with a chainsaw.
    • She also has one, as revelated in "Deja Vu", when Timmy says that he always has nightmares with her "Big Bubble Butt", Vicky went berserk:
    Timmy: Hey Vicky!
    Vicky: I thought I told you to go to bed twerp!
    Timmy: I can't sleep. I keep having nightmares about your BIG BUBBLE BUTT!
    Vicky: WHAT!? YOU ARE SO DEAD!
  • Beneath the Mask: She pretends to be a nice person in front of Timmy's parents.
  • Big Bad: She is the main antagonist the first few seasons and Channel Chasers, as well as being the most prominent villain in the show, at least until Season 7, and is always the leader of the show's villains whenever they team up (except in "The Big Superhero Wish", where she serves as The Dragon to the Nega Chin).
  • Big Bad Ensemble: Aside from the team-up episodes (or at least episodes where she teams up with another villain), she will sometimes serve as the episode's villain alongside another antagonist, such as in "Odd Odd West" and "Birthday Wish", where she shares the role with Doug Dimmadome and Mr. Crocker, respectively.
  • Big Eater: Despite of her being Lean and Mean, she does have her moments of gluttony. In Tiny Timmy!, we see her having a lot of junk food on the table while watching TV (she even has a miniature horse and a piano digesting in her guts, among other inedible things like car tires), and in Scary Godparents, she forces a lot of children to do trick-or-treating so they can give her a lot of candy. By the end of the episode, she gets indigestion from candy overdose. Heck, in her very first appearance in the pilot, she eats almost an entire pizza all by herself! The only reason she leaves a slice is just to "save" it for Timmy, since the pizza has anchovies, something that he hates.
  • Big Sister Bully: Whenever she is not babysitting any children, Vicky often tends to abuse her little sister, Tootie, to death. This becomes a major plot point in "Boy Toy" and "Birthday Wish".
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She's nice around the parents of the children she's hired to babysit, but by the time they leave her evil attitude surfaces.
  • Blackmail: One of her common schemes is to extort people with compromising secrets to get her way.
    • In "Miss Dimmsdale" she forced the Mayor into letting her win a beauty contest by threatening to release photos of what he looked like in the 1970's.
    • In "Boy Toy" she blackmails two kids to do her chores with a photo of them sneaking into an R-rated movie.
    • "Vicky Gets Fired" has her blackmail the Mayor again using photographic evidence that he had attended a convention dedicated to eating goat meat, which raises the ire of the Mayor's goat companion Chompy.
  • Book Ends: The first villain introduced in the series as well as (due to the show's cancellation) the final one to be dealt with, if "Certifiable Super Sitter" is anything to go by.
  • The Bully: Vicky was originally just picking on Timmy and making him feel miserable before season 4 onwards flanderized her into a psychopath with no problem making attempts on Timmy's life.
  • The Chew Toy: She will often get subjected to many comedic injuries when she gets her comeuppance in almost every episode.
  • Child Abuse Is a Special Kind of Evil: Vicky's atrocious abuse of Timmy is rarely if ever Played for Laughs and goes a long way to set her up as a Hate Sink. She seems to be even worse than Crocker in this regard, as she has absolutely no Freudian Excuse to speak of, indicating she's an abusive jerk just because.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: Post-Flanderization, she's very open with identifying as vileness incarnate.
  • Characterization Marches On: Her more normal characterization is exclusive to season 1; everything after that shows Vicky as the living embodiment of evil we know today.
  • Cheaters Never Prosper: She may try to cheat to win, but she'll never get away with it in the end. Examples include:
    • In "Hex Games". She steals a skateboarding move meant for Timmy, only to find out that she's too big to use it effectively. She then tries to sabotage the ramp Timmy is riding, only for Chester's Braces of Orthodontic Overkill to save the day.
    • "Miss Dimmsdale" has her competing in a Beauty Contest, where she tries to blackmail and brownnose the judges and sabotage her competition so she could win a $10,000 cash prize and become Mayor of Dimmsdale for a Day so she could torture every child in town like there's no tomorrow. Despite sabotaging her competition, she still loses when Mr. Turner shows up at the last minute and is later beaten up by the other contestants.
  • Child Hater: She loves torturing children, like Timmy or her sister Tootie.
  • Couch Gag: The title sequence always has Cosmo and Wanda turning her head into something different after she says "Yeah, right" at the end of the theme song.
  • Dark Action Girl: She's generally depicted as a capable fighter.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: In "Snow Bound" and "Wishology", she shows a nicer and more sympathetic side. Inevitable Reset Button in both cases, as every other episode featuring her after those instances still depict her as a despicable and psychotic meanie.
  • Demoted to Extra: In the live-action trilogy, where she serves as a side villain (alongside Crocker) in the first and third films (though in both cases, she has her own subplot with very little connection to the main villain plot), and a minor character in the second. In the main series, she appears less and less since Season 7 onwards, to the point that the final four seasons only have her appear in no more than a handful of episodes apiece.
  • Devil in Plain Sight: Timmy's parents are the only ones who don't realize she's evil. The only reason Vicky's parents haven't clued Timmy's parents in on their daughter's true colors is because she's intimidated them into maintaining the lie that she's a nice and trustworthy babysitter.
  • Dirty Coward: Whenever she's on the verge of receiving consequences, she will often either play the victim or attempt to cry her way out of it.
  • Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Being a female, her constant torture of Timmy is often used for comedic effect.
  • The Dreaded: For all the children that she babysits, and even her own family. Her own parents are terrified of her.
  • Dude Magnet: Not as exaggerated as Trixie, but a few guys have had Vicky in their sights. Mark Chang and Ricky are both attracted to her, and in "Certifiable Super Sitter" she claims to be going on a date with a third unnamed guy after she's done babysitting.
  • Eating the Enemy: Timmy imagines her as a giantess in order to defeat Gary in Imaginary Gary, which she does so by swallowing him whole. She later spits him out because she hates the taste of "cool".
  • Enemy Mine: She joins forces with Timmy against The Darkness in "Wishology". She agrees to help him against the darkness in exchange for $20, simply because he has no other option.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She treats her dog, Doidle, very nicely in comparison to the rest of her family.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: In "Frenemy Mine", specifically she literally cannot understand her feelings when Timmy saves her.
  • Evil Is Burning Hot: She often has a flaming silhouette behind her, especialy when indulging in an evil laugh. The Satan allegory is pretty obvious.
  • Evil Laugh: She frequently laughs maniacally, often accompanied by a flaming silhouette or lightning strikes with a side of dramatic organs.
  • Evil Overlord: In "Channel Chasers" and "Vicky Gets Fired". In the former, she manages to use a magic remote to change history, creating a Bad Future where she's the ruler of the world. In the latter, it's revealed that whenever Vicky is fired, she moves to a position of greater authority until she becomes ruler of the world, meaning Timmy has to keep her as a babysitter for the good of the world.
  • Evil Redhead: Also a Fiery Redhead, for being a loud and sadistic villainess and having red hair.
  • Evil Teacher: She became one at Dimmsdale Junior High in Fairly Odder, Taking Crocker's place for him while he's at the Dimmsdale Psychiatric hospital.
  • Faux Affably Evil: She may seem nice to adults who hire her, but she's actually a child hating, sociopathic monster who goes as far as to try to kill their children.
  • Feels No Pain: In one episode of Fairly Odder, it is revealed that Vicky doesn't feel pain when Roy's dog, Buddy, bites her butt.
  • Feminine Mother, Tomboyish Daughter: She's aggressive and in stark contrast to her more polite mother.
  • Final Boss: The console version of Breakin' Da Rules has the final battle consist of Vicky being turned into a dragon and Timmy having to get her to press against panels that will make her say the wish needed to undo the damages she's caused. The final opponent in the Game Boy Advance version is a Vicky monster that bears a resemblance to Kraid from Metroid. An In-Universe example in the show occurs in Power Mad in the form of a giant Killer Robot.
  • Flanderization: Vicky went from a normal bully who pushed around children to a totally sadistic psychopath bent on world domination from season 4 onward.
  • Foil: Unlike Denzel Crocker, the show rarely portrays her as being sympathetic or comedic, instead being a frightening and rather hateful character.
  • Forced Transformation: A Fairly Odd Summer ends with her being turned into a rabbit.
  • For the Evulz: She seems to torment Timmy and the other kids alike, just out of pure amusement. The first Christmas episode even had her force Timmy to wrap gifts that weren't actually for anybody, explicitly stating that she was only making him do it because she liked forcing him to work.
  • Freudian Excuse: In one episode, Vicky sobs to Timmy about how miserable she was as a child, implying that her childhood explains her bitter and sadistic behavior.
  • Gender Bender: In "The Good Old Days". Her classic cartoon counterpart Peg-Foot Vicky, is wished into a boy by Timmy, because it's an old cartoon and the hero can't beat up a girl.
  • Girl with Psycho Weapon: Throughout the series, Vicky has been seen using chainsaws, flamethrowers, whips, swords, and various other tools of torture. An example of her arsenal was at the beginning of Channel Chasers when she displayed it on a table.
  • Gold Digger: She only tried to marry Chip Skylark because she thought he was rich, and when it was shown that he wasn't rich, she called off the wedding.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: While Out of Focus from Season 7 onward, the fact remains that her constant torment of Timmy is the entire reason he's miserable enough to have Cosmo and Wanda in the first place, and thus why the show's premise is even possible.
  • Green and Mean: She's always wearing a green shirt and has a terrible personality.
  • Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: When turned into a representation of cartoon cat Sleazy from The Sleazy and Cheezy Show in "Mice Capades", she notably lacks pants while still wearing her green shirt.
  • Handy Feet: In Vicky Loses Her Icky, she's seen simultaneously using one foot to mop the floor and the other to paint a picture.
  • Harping on About Harpies: She becomes a harpy in "Timmy the Barbarian" thanks to Jorgen.
  • Hate Sink: As mentioned above, while she was meant to be unlikeable in the show, she went from a mere bully to basically the Anti-Christ.
  • Hated by All: She's despised by virtually everyone else on the show due to her cruelty and sociopathic behavior, including her own parents. Only Timmy's parents seem to like her, and that's just because they're too stupid to see her for what she really is.
  • Hates My Secret Identity: She falls in love with Gah (an older version of Timmy) and Justin Jake Ashton (Mark Chang in disguise), but despises both of their actual identities.
  • Heel–Face Door-Slam: Occasionally, as seen in "Snow Bound". She and Timmy become fast friends over the course of their ordeal of being trapped in an ice cave, only for Vicky to suddenly go back to hating him at the end of the episode because he inadvertently ruined her shot with a hot pizza guy.
  • Heel–Face Turn: In some episodes, she actually displays some friendliness such as Tiny Timmy!, Snow Bound, Vicky Loses Her Icky, Wishology, and Frenemy Mine. However, her cruel demeanor always seems to return by the end of the episode.
  • Imaginary Enemy: Timmy imagines her as a giantess with sharp teeth wearing a green sweater inside his mind in order to defeat Imaginary Gary.
  • Impossible Hourglass Figure: Gains a gratuitously shapely body when she ages herself to 18 in Channel Chasers when the game show she's zapped herself in denies her the prize money due to being a minor.
  • Inelegant Blubbering: She'll be reduced to this at times, especially after getting caught doing her evil deeds.
  • Informed Attribute: Vicky has this status as the main reason why Timmy has fairy godparents in the first place. It's true her antics are the cause of Timmy's misery, but the only reason she does it and gets away with it for so long is because Timmy's parents keep hiring her to be his babysitter while brushing off the obvious signs that she's evil. If Timmy's parents hadn't hired Vicky in the first place, then Timmy wouldn't be miserable enough to need his godparents.
  • Interspecies Romance: She had a crush on one of Cosmo's transformations in one episode. In addition to that Mark Chang likes her a lot and she even develops feelings for his disguise "Justin Jake Ashton".
  • Jerkass to One: Vicky is horrible towards everybody besides the parents she works for and guys she wants to be with. That being said, she seems to be especially cruel towards Timmy and her sister.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Whenever there is something good in her, she yanks it away just to get a cheap laugh or some kind of a selfish motive for it.
  • Joker Immunity: Timmy keeps her around because if he's not made miserable by being forced to endure her, his fairy godparents will leave.
  • Karmic Butt-Monkey: Whenever she's not the one putting Timmy through hell. She deserves it though.
  • Kiss of Death: Vicky has tried to kiss Timmy numerous times. She almost kisses him in both Love at First Height and Stage Fright. She actually lands the smooch in Vicky Loses Her Icky though Timmy doesn't seem to mind.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: A lot of episodes end with Vicky getting a comeuppance for her constant evil.
  • Laughably Evil: She's so cartoonishly evil that it is very hard not to find her strongly entertaining. Plus she does have her own form of dark humour. And due to the nature of the show, she is almost always yelling.
  • Lean and Mean: Vicky is rather thin and indisputably mean.
  • Likes Older Men: In Fairly Odder she hits on Crocker, who's way older than her.
  • Literal Metaphor: Vicky's so mean her heart is a literal black hole.
  • Locked in a Freezer: With Timmy in "Snow Bound".
  • Made a Slave: She often does this to Timmy out of ire, boredom, or just enjoyment. She does this to other characters in episodes like Micro Phony, Scary GodCouple and Certifiable Super Sitter.
  • Manipulative Bitch: In "Channel Chasers", she has struck terror into every child and even her own parents who obey her every command, and all make her out as kind and sweet.
  • Mooks: Her role in the video game Enter the Cleft!
  • Multiple-Choice Past: The show has presented multiple possible explanations as to why she's such a terrible person. One episode implies it was due to a troubled childhood, another says that her inner kindness "never showed up for work", and yet another shows that she'd be a lot nicer if she weren't being negatively influenced by a literal bug up her butt.
  • Nutritional Nightmare: In Tiny Timmy!, we see her having so much junk food on the table to the point of almost looking like an Edible World from Timmy's and his oddparents' perspective. In Enter the Cleft!, we see a bunch of junk food on her stomach as well.
  • Only One Name: Only known as Vicky. Her last name is unknown.
    • One of the live-action movies addresses her sister as Tootie Flannigan, implying that COULD be Vicky's last name as well.
  • Out of Focus: Since Season 7 onward. Despite being heavily featured in the intro, she appears as the antagonist less often nowadays compared to Mr. Crocker and Foop, only appearing in no more than a handful of episodes per season.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • Her pets, particularly Doidle, are the only things she treats with any respect.
    • Her Out-of-Character Moment in the Thanksgiving storybook (see Villains Out Shopping below).
    • In the Nickelodeon Magazine comic story "Pack of Lies", she gets angry at Timmy (and attacks him much more ruthlessly) when she finds out that he lied to Tootie.
    • Wishology shows her genuinely sad to see Timmy sacrifice himself to the Darkness in "The Exciting Middle Part" and has her among the people awed by the cuteness of Poof's smile in "The Final Ending", stating that even a heartless fiend like her isn't immune to the adorableness of a happy baby.
  • Psycho for Hire: Due to Flanderization, she's essentially used her career as a babysitter as an excuse to torture children and treat them like slaves.
  • Psychopathic Womanchild: She's a sociopath who tortures children for a living, especially Timmy and Tootie. The live-action film A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! shows that she still holds a grudge against Timmy in spite of no longer being a teenager.
  • Punny Name: Icky with a V. "Icky...Vicky...hey, I could write a song about that!" And in the ensuing song, her name is literally spelled out letter-by-letter, making the numerous misspellings of her name even more perplexing.
  • Redhead In Green: Her regular outfit is a short GREEN t-shirt and black jeans.
  • Right-Hand Cat: Doidle, her dog, in his first appearance. He shows up a lot less after he gets "fixed", likely simply due to a lack of motivation.
  • The Scottish Trope: Saying her name sometimes causes things to die or break.
  • Short Teens, Tall Adults: Most adults in the show are literally head and shoulders above her and it's implied that she'll be significantly taller as an adult, even though most girls reach their adult height by her age.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Her and Tootie. She hates Timmy and is evil to the core, Tootie is nice and loves Timmy. Though maybe a bit too much.
  • The Sociopath: She is mean and cruel just for the sake of it, and has no moral conscience whatsoever. This side of her comes in full in "Timmy's 2-D House of Horror", when she and her family move into Timmy's house and Timmy wishes for 3-D glasses that would show horrific images so that Vicky and her family would move out of the Turner's home; what her parents find horrifying, like severed arms in the food and spaghetti and eyeballs, Vicky finds completely mundane, and ultimately, her parents are even more afraid of her than said images.
  • Take Over the World: She's taken over the world in a Bad Future in "Channel Chasers". Some dialogue earlier in the movie and a few comic stories suggest this is her ultimate goal.
  • Teens Are Monsters: She's consistently painted as an evil babysitter, but it only brings up her age when Rule of Funny applies. More than likely that she has always been and will always be evil. Her age is a side-effect of being a babysitter. In one episode she's member of a whole club of evil teen girl babysitters. But it's not likely they'll be brought up again.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Tootie's Girly Girl. Vicky (despite her rather feminine-sounding voice) is known for being the most fiery, violent girl on the show, and also enjoys skateboarding, snowboarding, and watching violent anime. Her little sister Tootie on the other hand is nice, and enjoys playing with dolls and dress up. This is shown in contrast especially in the episode "Timmy's 2-D House of Horror" where the two took over Timmy's bedroom; turning one half into a pink and girly room with unicorns, and the other half into a medieval dungeon. Timmy couldn't tell which side scared him the most.
  • Tomboyish Ponytail: She always wears her hair with a ponytail and is shown to be a fan of extreme sports and violent anime.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: See Flanderization. Initially a Babysitter from Hell, she morphed into a sadist with dreams of world domination from season 4 onward.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Heavily averted. No matter how much Timmy tries to change her for the better, it always backfires somehow:
    • In "Vicky Loses Her Icky", it was forced upon by Timmy when he wishes Vicky to be nice. But as a result, all of her negative attitude manifests into a bug and turns anyone it bites evil. By the end of it, the bug ends up back in Vicky, who barely has time to grasp the situation before FBI agents haul her off.
    • This also happened much more naturally in "Snow Bound", where she and Timmy forge an alliance after an avalanche traps them with the Abominable Snowman. It inevitably dissolves when she learns that the "monster" was merely a hot and muscular pizza delievery guy.
    • "Frenemy Mine" has her go through this again after her evil babysitter club pals kick her out and shun her, becoming a clingy and overprotective friend (read:nuisance) to Timmy. Cue We Want Our Jerk Back!.
  • Tsundere: While usually violent, cruel, cold-hearted and sadistic, she seems to melt like butter for the guys she falls in love with.
  • Unholy Matrimony: She dated Ricky who's just as much of a jerk as she is. Other instances of her romance with villains are the title card of Scary GodCouple which has her marrying Foop, and Fairly Odder where she has feelings for Crocker.
  • Villainous Crush: On the 16-year-old aged up Timmy. She fawns over him at first sight, assuming Timmy a Swedish supermodel and dives desperately for a full relationship. Just like her little sister does on normal aged Timmy... This doesn't appear after the Reset Button is pushed, though.
  • Villainous Glutton: While she's a lot thinner than most examples of this trope, she's still a Big Eater and a cruel babysitter. This has been a consistent quality of hers for a long time; her first appearance had her eat almost an entire pizza by herself.
  • Villain Episode: The Nickelodeon Magazine comic story "It's Not Over Till The Babysitter Sings" focuses on Vicky and explains what she was doing during the events of School's Out! The Musical prior to Timmy wishing that kids were in charge of the world.
  • Villain Song: Given that School's Out! The Musical was, well, a musical, the aforementioned comic story gives Vicky four songs, which are sung to the tune of "B-I-N-G-O", "My Darling Clementine", "Yankee Doodle" and "Frere Jacques".
  • Villains Out Shopping: The Thanksgiving storybook In a Tizzy Over Turkey! has her (gasp!) worrying about her family when they go out for cranberry sauce and their car breaks down.
  • Villainesses Want Heroes: Vicky is romantically attracted to an older version of Timmy in "Love at First Height". This could also apply to her crush on Chip Skylark who is an ally of Timmy.
  • We Want Our Jerk Back!: In "Frenemy Mine", Timmy realizes nice Vicky is a lot worse than evil Vicky.
  • Witch with a Capital "B": In a episode where Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda traveled to the Old West and met Vicky's ancestor:
    Cosmo: Even in the Old West, she's a heartless evil witch!
  • Womb Level: In Episode 3 - 4 on the GBA game Enter The Cleft, Timmy has to go inside Vicky's stomach like in Tiny Timmy! in order to save Mama Cosma from Spatula Woman.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: In spite of typically being portrayed as a demented psycho who relishes inflicting pain and misery on others, she is occasionally shown in a sympathetic light. Episodes like Snow Bound suggest that she has a lot of pent up rage and simply doesn't have a healthy way to express it, while other episodes like Vicky Gets Fired suggest that she's simply a megalomaniac.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Despite the fact she's still a kid herself, she tortures younger kids like Timmy and his friends. Scary Godcouple is perhaps the best example of this as she tortures kids all over the world and even tried to kill Poof.

"I don't have a lot of friends, okay? I mean, you punch them in the face once and it's all, 'Ooh, stop punching me!'"

The commander-in-chief of Fairy World, he runs the place with an iron fist. He's the most powerful fairy in the universe.


  • The Ahnold: To the point where he recreates Schwarzenegger's role in Terminator 2: Judgment Day in "Wishology" Part I.
  • Ambiguously Brown: It's probably a deep tan, but there's no way to be sure.
  • Baby Morph Episode: He is one of the four fairies Timmy invites over to de-age into infancy and provide Poof with other fairy babies to interact with in "Poof's Playdate".
  • Bad Butt: Being a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger, he's about as close you can be to a badass in a kid-friendly show.
  • Berserk Button: One of the easiest ways to suffer his wrath is to break the rules of wish-granting.
  • Big Good: The closest thing the series gets to one, especially in the movies or specials. Though he can be a jerk and is a Rules Lawyer, he leads the Fairies, protects them and their magic, and is more or less the highest good authority in the series (even though he reports to the Fairy Council).
  • Bruiser with a Soft Center: He is madly in love with the gorgeous Tooth Fairy. When she dumps him for being a bully, he is completely devastated. In "This Is Your Wish", he's genuinely driven to tears as he recounts all the civilizations that Cosmo's idiocy ended, even though the events in question happened decades if not millennia ago (he could be crying over how Cosmo's idiocy destroyed his own reputation as a fairy trainer, but in-between sobs he does say, "Those poor people... we can never rebuild their lives!").
  • The Chooser of the One: In "Wishology," he interprets the Cave Prophecy to mean that Timmy is the Chosen One and appoints him as such. (Although it temporarily looks like he was wrong, he's ultimately proven right when Timmy passes the Chosen Test.)
  • Daytime Drama Queen: He is an avid fan of the Fairy World soap opera All My Biceps.
  • Does Not Like Spam: In the second Jimmy Timmy Power Hour, he's shown to hate sourdough, considering it "the lowest form of bread".
  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: He's the head fairy and also the drill instructor.
  • Everyone Has Standards: While Jorgen likes to use his magic to hurt others, he would never cross the line into outright murder, claiming that Thou Shalt Not Kill is the most sacred of Da Rulez.
  • Final Boss: He is the final boss in the Game Boy Advance game Enter the Cleft, as he offers to drop the charges against Cosmo and Wanda for the trouble they caused by granting Timmy's wish if Timmy can defeat him in combat.
  • Flanderization: Believe it or not, he's become slightly sillier and stupider as episodes go.
  • Genius Bruiser: While he's a brawny macho guy, he's also an expert on all things related to fairy law, enough to act as a prosecutor. He's also a surprisingly good manipulator, and once came up with an elaborate scheme to get Juandissimo his job as Remy's fairy godfather back just so he wouldn't have to eat Jaundissimo's cooking anymore. He seems to grow dumber in later seasons however, or at the very least, he's easier to outwit.
  • Good is Not Nice: Even though he is usually a good guy and enforces Da Rules (the fairy laws) to the letter, he still gets kicks out of causing people, usually Binky, pain and threatening violence following his Drill Sergeant Nasty stereotype. Later seasons reduce him to more bark than bite however, making him just slightly more affable.
  • Happily Married: To The Tooth Fairy, the only thing in existence more important to him than causing pain and enforcing order.
    • Momentarily subverted, it is implied in "Finding Emo" that they are no longer a couple as Jorgen was shown dating a fairy named Wallet, though later episodes show he is still married, likely making this a case of continuity snarl.
  • Henpecked Husband: Only the Tooth Fairy can calm him.
  • Hero Secret Service: He spends all of the Wishology trilogy doing everything he can to protect the Chosen One, Timmy Turner.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: In "Wishology" Part I. It doesn't last.
  • High-School Sweethearts: According with "The Fairy Beginning", he and the Tooth Fairy met in the Fairy Academy.
  • Involuntary Shapeshifting: At the end of "The Gland Plan", his own fagiggly gland starts going wonky and, like Cosmo and Anti-Cosmo, he starts losing control of his shape-shifting abilities. This prompts him to find Anti-Jorgen, with the outcome of his search remaining unknown, but he presumably was able to find Anti-Jorgen and go through the same procedure of transplanting each other's fagiggly glands that Cosmo and Anti-Cosmo went through, as this was the last we saw him having this problem.
  • Jerkass to One: Inverted. He's an asshole to everybody (although to Timmy, Cosmo, and Binky more than others), but he's a Nice Guy towards the Tooth Fairy, his wife.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sometimes, otherwise just a plain old jerk. Regardless, he cares about upholding the rules, is genuinely upset about the civilizations Cosmo accidentally destroyed, and loves his wife, the Tooth Fairy.
  • Lantern Jaw of Justice: He has a large lower jaw, befitting his powerful status in Fairy World.
  • Large and in Charge: He's one of the biggest fairies, and is commander-in-chief of Fairy World.
  • Morality Pet: The Tooth Fairy is this to him.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Jorgen von Strangle? Just looking at his build shows he may actually be capable of doing it too.
    Cosmo: Or Jorgen von Strangle will live up to his name! And I hate being Jorgened!
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Began as Daran Norris doing an obvious parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
  • Physical God: The most powerful Fairy (barring fairy babies with their uncontrollable magic), able to effortlessly contain Prof. Calamitous' Doomsday Device explosion in the palm of his hand.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Despite his dedication to machismo, he's occasionally shown to have feminine interests and hobbies, mostly for Rule of Funny.
    "Who interrupted my cooking class!?"
  • Reconstruction: Between his design, behavior towards the human hero, and intimidating nature, he more closely resembles classic depictions of The Fair Folk than he does the typical modern depiction of fairies.
  • Sadist: He openly admits in the episode "It's a Wishful Life" that the only thing that can make him laugh is others' pain.
  • Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: He has the power and authority to alter Da Rules with the wave of a wand and can bend them if he wishes (ex. erasing Timmy's parents' memories so he can keep his fairies in "Meet the Oddparents").
  • Strong Family Resemblance: His Nana Boom-Boom introduced in "Balance of Flour" essentially looks like him in drag and slightly shorter.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: He often becomes very irate when the other fairies cause significant screw-ups that he has to fix. He even outright calls Cosmo and Wanda "morons" for granting Timmy's wish to make children in charge of the world during his song in School's Out! The Musical.
  • Temporarily a Villain: When Timmy wishes the world was like an action movie in "Action Packed!", Jorgen ends up as the Big Bad of said movie. Though there are also some episodes where he willingly serves as the main antagonist, such as "Timmy the Barbarian" and "Temporary Fairy".
  • Testosterone Poisoning: His brand of hobby includes jumping into a live volcano, for instance. This got turned against him, as the way to defeat him is to humiliate him by doing decidedly unmanly things in front of an audience.
  • Thou Shalt Not Kill: In one of the "Jimmy Timmy Power Hour" specials, he states that the rule forbidding fairies from killing humans is the most sacred rule in the entire book, and has a horrified Heroic BSoD when the cast makes him think the rule was violated.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Jorgen's shown to be much softer and less brutal in later seasons, and is also on better terms with Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda because of it. This appears to be the influence of the Tooth Fairy following their marriage.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: To Binky, if "Timmy the Barbarian" is any indication. He also claims Cosmo and Wanda are his best friends, but then mentions he doesn't have many friends.
  • Vocal Evolution: He used to sound like a complete The Ahnold, but started sounding more emotional as time went on. He also steadily got louder, until his entire voice became perpetual shouting.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: In "Wishology" Part III, Timmy calls him out for attacking the Darkness just because it looked evil.
  • Would Hit a Girl: He loves to hurt male and female fairies alike.
  • Would Hurt a Child: He also doesn't care if he hurts Timmy, and doesn't mind putting him in life-threatening situations, like in "Timmy the Barbarian", where he traps Timmy and his fairies in a dangerous story narrated by him.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: Also doubles as a Kick the Dog moment. In "Timmy the Barbarian", he skips over the parts of the story that Timmy would like experiencing.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/denzel_crocker2.png
"This has to be the work of... FAIRY GODPARENTS!"

Timmy's insane schoolteacher who, due to an incident in his youth, is obsessed with proving that fairy godparents exist and want to use their magic to Take Over the World.


  • Almighty Janitor: In "Future Lost", he works as the school janitor due to brain programming machines making human teachers obsolete. But he's still an intelligent man, and his job has made him a superb athlete.
  • Animals Hate Him: He gets bitten on the leg twice by Francis' dog in "Transparents!", chased by a bunch of forest creatures in "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker", repeatedly pecked at by a stork in "Bad Heir Day" and attacked by animals caged up in his lab in "Teacher's Pet".
  • Arch-Enemy: When Vicky isn't involved, chances are he fills out this role in her stead. Although there are some episodes where they both serve as main antagonists.note 
  • Artistic License – Education: If someone actually handed out Fs as often as Crocker did in real life, they would be fired for being incapable of teaching students to pass.
  • Ascended Extra: He had only one appearance in Season 1 (not counting a cameo in "Tiny Timmy" and "Dream Goat"), and was originally one of the two secondary villains of the earlier seasons in general (the other being Francis), a far cry to what he would eventually evolve to.
  • Asshole Victim: Like Vicky, he deserves no sympathy whenever he gets his comeuppance considering that he shows no remorse in antagonizing Timmy and his godparents in order to capture them for his own evil deeds.
  • Ax-Crazy: Especially in the earlier seasons, he's easily one of the craziest villains in the show.
  • Basement-Dweller: A lot of jokes are made about the fact that he still lives with his extremely smotherly mother.
  • Big Bad: In the later seasons and Abra-Catastrophe, replacing Vicky. A lot of episodes in later seasons revolve around Crocker trying to prove the existence of fairy godparents. In Nicktoons Unite video games, he represents the show in the Evil Syndicate.
  • Body Horror: As a result of Jorgen's memory-erasing when he was a child, Crocker appears older than he really is, has a hunchback and his ears are moved down to his neck.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Not exactly brainwashed, but Jorgen's erasing of all of his good memories combined with him leaving a reminder to himself of his fairies' existence is what marked the start of his bitterness and insanity.
  • Breakout Villain: Originally he was just a back-up villain, really no bigger than Francis. Since Season 7 onwards, he seems to have replaced Vicky as the main antagonist, appearing in almost every episode, even if they have to make a side story for him.
  • Bumbling Dad: He makes a pretty good father, surprisingly enough... even if his parenting methods are a bit odd. Of course, when he finds out that Denzel Jr. (in reality, Poof in a Paper-Thin Disguise) is a fairy, he tearfully lets Poof go back to his fairy parents despite the close bond the two formed.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: "Turner! I don't like that evil look in your eye! That's the evil look in my eye!"
  • The Cassandra: Well, fairies are real in this universe, so of course his ramblings about the existence of fairies are true even though most of the people who bother listening don't care to take his claims seriously.
  • Character Catchphrase: It is rare for an episode featuring him to not have him shout at least some variation of "This must be the work of... FAIRY GODPARENTS!!"
  • Character Tic: He is prone to making wild spasms while screaming the aforementioned catchphrase.
  • Characterization Marches On: A lesser example. In later seasons, he takes his job as an educator more seriously and grades his students a bit more fairly, like in "Dumbbell Curve". The only student who receives no mercy from him remains to be Timmy.
  • Child Hater: He hates children, the sole exception being Poof, who happens to be a fairy, but Crocker briefly raised him as if he was his own son and genuinely cares for him.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: The Mind Wipe he received when he lost his fairy godparents apparently turned him into one.
  • Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Inverted; he's the one clapping. Fairy World and all its magic is fuelled by people's belief in fairies, but Crocker's one-track obsession is strong enough that they decided to just use his to fuel everything. When he's briefly cured via hypnotism, the whole place starts falling apart.
  • Closet Geek: An odd example. Pretty much everyone has at least a vague idea of his Mad Scientist exploits and general lack of (interest in) social life, but The Big Superhero Wish also has him shamefacedly admitting that he's intimately familiar with the Crimson Chin mythos from reading all the comic books he's confiscated over the years.
  • Complexity Addiction: Not only does he plan hare-brained schemes, he has filing cabinets libraries full of them. Special mention goes to "Back to the Norm" where he has Norm's un-corrupted wishes, but opts for Wile E. Coyote-esque Rube Goldberg Devices while ignoring Norm's suggestion that they just wish him to Mars and leave him to suffocate.
  • The Cuckoolander Was Right: He seems to know almost everything about fairies, correctly, just by virtue of being batshit insane.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: At first, he had a life similar to Timmy's: he had a neglectful mother who left him with an abusive babysitter. He also had fairy godparents (Cosmo and Wanda, in fact), which he used to do good things for people. The end came when he lost his godparents: he forgot all his happy memories, the town shunned him because they forgot all the good things he did, he became obsessed with proving fairies exist thanks to a note he left himself, causing him to lose his sanity, he was laughed out of his college for promoting fairies, and he lost Waxelplax because of his obsession. It's even lampshaded several times that he would have a much better life if he were to completely let go of his fairy obsession.
  • Decomposite Character: In the original Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts, he didn't exist yet and weidly enough, his role of trying to convince people that something weird is going on around Timmy and failing was actually taken by none other than Vicky. After the shorts became a full series, Vicky became a mean teenager with Ax-Crazy tendencies who did antagonize Timmy but never seemed to particularly care about the supernatural occurrences happening around her, while Crocker became the antagonist who knew fairies existed and tried proving it to the world.
  • Demoted to Extra: He somewhat suffers this in the live-action trilogy, where he mostly serves as an Unwitting Pawn for the Big Bad in the first and third films (as opposed to being his own man like in the original series), and a supporting character in the second.
  • Depending on the Writer: He's either a competent threat towards the secrecy of Timmy's fairy godparents or a complete fool who's treated as a joke because of his craziness and random outbursts.
  • Dirty Coward: In "Abra-Catastrophe", when the apes were about to take him, he orders them to go after Timmy by claiming he's hosting a dinner party.
  • Disappeared Dad: Mr. Crocker's mother is a fairly prominent character in the series, but his dad is never mentioned.
  • Disney Villain Death: Sort of in the Fairly Odd Movie when he falls into a "bottomless ball pit", though it gets undone in the end.
  • Disposable FiancĂ©: He is this to Hummanuh, who dumps him despite being engaged simply because he won't move out of his mother's basement.
  • Ditzy Genius: He can construct a portal to Fairy World, despite repeatedly being shown to be insane and detached from reality.
  • Dodgy Toupee: If the Bunsen Is a Beast crossover "Beast of Friends" is to be believed, his hair is actually an unconvincing wig.
  • Don't Tell Mama: Often afraid his mother will find out what he is up to and scold him for it.
  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: In "Formula For Disaster", it's revealed that he runs his own military academy and he plays this trope to the hilt.
  • Dystopia Justifies the Means: When he takes over the world in "Abra-Catastrophe", the world is shown to be a barren, bleak wasteland, with everyone enslaved to him and forced to bow down to him every hour, on the hour.
  • Enemy Mine: He is forced to join forces with Timmy in "No Substitute For Crazy" (against the substitute teacher Ms. Doombringer, who is a far more dangerous and competent fairy hunter than Crocker), "Future Lost" (against the robot uprising led by a giant brain in a jar), "Timmy's Secret Wish" (where he helps Timmy go to Fairy World) and "Wishology" (as one of Timmy's allies in combating the Darkness).
  • Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Zigzagged. Depending on the episode, Mr. Crocker will either hate his mother for smothering him or love the attention he gets from her. In "Married to the Mom" he chooses his mother over his fiancee, Hummanuh.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Despite his obsession with fairies, even he finds the idea of separating a baby fairy (IE: Poof) from his/her parents to be too cruel.
  • Evil Genius: Is among the smartest villains in the show and usually fills out this role when teaming up with the other villains (most notably in "The Big Superhero Wish" and "When Losers Attack").
  • Evil Is Petty: In "Cheese & Crockers", he reunites with his high school crush and asks her out on a date. When she responds with a yes, he crushes her heart with the same words she used to crush his.
    "Well forget it! You're ugly and creepy and stop calling me!"
  • Evil Overlord: He temporarily becomes one in "Abra-Catastrophe", after capturing Wanda and harnessing her magic, with which he uses to take over Dimmsdale and turn it into Slavesdale.
  • Evil Teacher: He is Timmy's teacher and one of the main antagonists on the show.
  • Evil Sorcerer: He becomes a villainous mage in "Timmy the Barbarian" and "The Big Superhero Wish". His ancestor, Alden Bitteroot, was also a witch.
  • Evil Uncle: To Kevin. The two actually have a pretty good relationship, at least until Kevin's desire to make friends with Chloe and Timmy gets in the way.
  • Expy: According to Butch Hartman, he's based on Walter Kornbluth, the main antagonist of Splash, who's main goal is to prove the existence of mermaids.
  • Eye Glasses: His glasses change shape depending on his emotions, allowing him to be more expressive than he would be otherwise..
  • Fallen Hero: He was originally Cosmo and Wanda's previous godchild, until he accidentally gave up his fairies thanks to the former.
  • Flanderization: His obsession with fairies, to the point where he inserts the word into every sentence by season 4 onward. Also in earlier seasons, he would assume something suspicious was the work of fairies (which he was always right about, of course). Now in most cases, especially Season 9, he assumes the more normal things are the work of magical creatures, while assuming anything suspicious was normal. In early seasons, he was just a jaded Apathetic Teacher; now, he's a full-blown Sadist Teacher who enjoys failing Timmy in the most overblown manner possible. In season 10, his obsession with magic is almost completely gone.
  • Foil: To Vicky. While both of them have a habit of making Timmy's life miserable, Denzel Crocker is typically portrayed as being more comical and sympathetic, while Vicky is typically the show's Hate Sink and is portrayed as being quite frightful.
  • Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Wears glasses and is a sadistic villain.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: In "Abra-Catastrophe". By getting the magic rule-free wish-granting muffin, he was able to go from a second-rate school teacher to ruler of the world.
  • Generation Xerox:
    • "Meanie Genie Minie Moe" shows that he has an uncle named Albert, who has a similar crazed obsession with genies.
    • His nephew Kevin introduced in "Chip off the Old Crock" looks almost exactly like a miniature version of him.
  • Gonk: He's a scrawny man with pale skin, a hunch back, and ears on his neck. (Lampshaded in "Timmy the Barbarian" where Wanda scolds him: "And put your ears back on your head!")
  • Grand Romantic Gesture: Brings Hummanuh a lovely gift... a bouquet of batons!
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Even discounting his fairy-triggered Berserk Button, there is nothing you can say to this guy without him going crazy.
  • Hates Their Parent: At times, Crocker will scold his mother for interfering with his plans and goes as far as expressing to get rid of her. This is Depending on the Writer, but it's especially prevalent in later episodes.
  • Heel–Face Door-Slam: Quite a few episodes have him trying to cure his fairy obsession by seeking therapy, only for it to be reverted by an Ass Pull.
  • Hidden Depths: He's surprisingly very knowledgeable about superheroes and supervillains, including those from the Crimson Chin universe, due to having confiscated a lot of comic books over the years.
  • I Always Wanted to Say That: One of the things that make Crocker like the idea of having a child is being able to go to a restaurant and say "table for two".
  • Iconic Sequel Character: While most of the main characters were around since the original Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts, Mr. Crocker was not introduced until after the show was launched as an independent series, making his debut in the first season episode "Transparents".
  • Identical Grandson: To Alden Bitteroot, a famed witch-hunter from the days before Dimmsdale was founded. Considering Alden was actually an evil witch who'd been plotting to take over the town, Crocker takes after his ancestor in more ways than one.
  • Ink-Suit Actor: He bears a very strong resemblance to his voice actor, Carlos Alazraqui, who even reprises his role in the live-action reboot series.
  • Insane Troll Logic: A rare example where the logic is actually correct. Though Crocker would point out the most obvious assumption as what anyone with common sense would conclude, he immediately follows up with believing that it's the work of FAIRY GODPARENTS!!!
  • Iron Butt Monkey: It's surprising that all the slapstick he's suffered hasn't crippled him.
  • Jerkass: He takes great delight in giving Fs to his students. AJ is usually exempt from this but even he has received Fs on occasion.
  • Jerkass to One: He's a Sadist Teacher in general, but Timmy is his favorite child to torment and hand out Fs to.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite being a unapologetic Sadist Teacher who shows no remorse in capturing Timmy's godparents there are moments where he teams up with Timmy and his bonding with Poof shows that he does have a heart deep down.
  • Karmic Butt-Monkey: He lives with his mother, is despised by most people, gets viewed as a Cloud Cuckoolander, and he gets beaten and mauled by everyone on a regular basis (which is then later revealed to be a side effect of the memory wiping Jorgen gave the townspeople when Crocker lost his fairies). Considering he's a Sadist Teacher who is genuinely crazy to the point of being unconcerned with any collateral damage that may result from his deranged schemes and is shown to try and conquer the world once obtaining great power, it's hard to deny that he actually deserves it.
  • Kick the Dog: He gives F’s for no reason other than to just be mean.
  • Kneel Before Zod: In Abra-Catastrophe, he is ruler over a dystopian Crapsack World, and everyone enslaved under his tyrannical rule is made to bow down to him every hour, on the hour.
  • Large Ham: FAIRY! GOD! PARENTS!!! (contorts and spasms uncontrollably)
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Almost always gets his comeuppance whenever he tries to capture Timmy's godparents.
  • Laughably Evil: Due to his habit of going in seizures while yelling "fairy godparents", he's generally portrayed in a much more comical manner than Vicky, but it's averted on a few occasions, most notably Abra-Catastrophe, where his threat is played completely seriously.
  • Living Battery: The fairies rely on him believing in magic so that Fairy World will keep its power. If he stops believing in fairies, then Fairy World will lose power and will eventually fall into a Giant Bucket of Acid World. Jorgen Von Strangle rectifies this so that there are other Crocker-like adults who believe in fairies.
  • Long-Lost Relative: As of Season 10, his nephew Kevin has been introduced, the son of his "estranged sister". Prior to this, Crocker having siblings has never been mentioned.
  • Love at First Sight: Instantly falls in love with Hummanuh as soon as he sees her.
  • Meaningful Name: His surname sounds like a cross between "crocodile" and "cracker", with the former highlighting his vicious personality and the latter highlighting his insanity and wise-cracking nature.
  • Momma's Boy: In "Information Stupor Highway", his mom breaks into his room with a battering ram and forces him to test a gown of hers. Should put him on par with Cosmo...
  • Multiple-Choice Past: In "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker!", it's revealed he used to be Cosmo and Wanda's godchild but lost them thanks to Cosmo (and later Timmy) accidentally revealing his godparents. In "Birthday Bashed!", Jorgen showed a DVD where Crocker had other fairies and lost them when he became too old to have fairies. In "Let Sleeper Dogs Lie", old hidden camera footage shows Crocker once again having Cosmo and Wanda as his fairy godparents (and Sparky as a fairy puppy), but losing them on his 11th birthday due to him becoming too old for fairies, and for being a Jerkass toward them.
  • Naked People Are Funny: In "Crock Blocked", he walks into his classroom completely naked when he thinks he's still invisible and therefore has no need to wear clothes anymore. It's only when his students freak out upon seeing him naked that he realizes he's now visible.
  • Noodle Incident:
    • In "Formula For Disaster", he tells Timmy's parents a story involving being a spy, ballerina, and a cat burglar, involving the city of Cincinnati (and mentions that he's not allowed back in that city).
    • In "Crocker Shocker", when he sees how Fairy World copes without the magic from his belief in fairies, he states he's seen more magic at a bus stop in Toledo, but refuses to give more details.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: While most of his plans usually backfire in the worst of ways, there are a few moments where Crocker becomes an actual threat to Timmy, Wanda and Cosmo. Such as the time he successfully captured both of them and became an Evil Overlord.
  • Only Sane by Comparison: As far as the adults are concerned, he is this. It actually says a lot about how far the Adults Are Useless trope is stretched when Denzel Crocker is the only one who has a clue about what's going on and the fairies' reality.
  • Persona Non Grata: For some reason, he can never go back to Cincinnati. They even celebrate how long they have been rid of him.
  • Pet the Dog: On several occasions he has shown genuine care for Timmy, and he also seems to have a soft spot for Poof.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: Normally serves this role whenever he isn't the antagonist of an episode.
  • Psychopathic Manchild: He does tend to act incredibly immature at times (not to mention he still lives wih his mother). It's implied to have been a result of the Mind Wipe Jorgen gave him after he lost his fairies.
  • Rapid Aging: As a result of Jorgen's memory erasing, Crocker appears older than he already is. "Back to the Norm" establishes he is at least 32 years old.
  • Sadist Teacher: Besides his fairy-hunting obsession, he also takes a sadistic glee in handing out "F" grades to his students (frequently giving a failing grade just because he can rather than the student in question actually doing poorly enough to warrant the F), and his favorite child to torment is none other than Timmy Turner.
  • Shout-Out: His identity as Dr. Crocktopus was an obvious reference to Spider-Man's enemy Dr. Octopus (with Doctor Strange's collared cape thrown in for good measure).
  • Small Parent, Huge Child: Crocker is tall and lanky, and yet his doting mother is diminutive.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Since Season 7 onward, he appears in almost every episode and he is the main antagonist (or even the protagonist) of many chapters.
  • Start of Darkness: "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker" reveals that Cosmo and Wanda were once his fairies, and that their loss, combined with his subsequent obsession with proving their existence, completely destroyed his life and set him on the path to become who he is today.
  • Suddenly Shouting: He has a tendency to go into violent spasms shouting something. Usually "Fairy Godparents".
  • Take Over the World: His ultimate goal is to become ruler of the world. He succeeds by capturing Wanda and using her magic to become all-powerful in "Abra-Catastrophe", though thankfully, not for long.
  • Theory Tunnel Vision: Believes that anything even slightly odd must be the work of FAIRY! GOD! PARENTS!!
  • They Called Me Mad!: His belief in fairies gets him branded a lunatic and laughed out of college. He is genuinely insane — by his own admission — but he's right about fairies.
  • Tin Tyrant: In "Abra-Catastrophe". He gets an elaborate suit of magic armor that he always fantasized about when he becomes ruler of the world.
  • Took a Level in Badass: When he captures Wanda in "Abra-Catastrophe", he goes from a laughing stock to a powerful overlord.
  • Took a Level in Dumbass: From season 7 onward. Although he never loses his ability to build impressive fairy hunting equipment, which actually works (sometimes too well), instead losing more common sense.
  • Ultimate Job Security: In his debut episode, he mentions that his tenure is so good that he could get away with killing one of his students' parents with one of his fairy catching devices ("If they survive, they're FAIRIES!! If not, I HAVE TENURE!!") Furthermore, everybody, including the principal of his school, thinks he's crazy, his students constantly fail their tests since Crocker actually enjoys handing out F's, and don't forget how cruel he gets on March 15, yet he still has his job. In real life, a teacher like that would have been fired a dozen times by now.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: According to "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker", he used to be an extremely kind-hearted kid who loved helping others until he lost his fairy god parents (who were coincidentally Cosmo and Wanda themselves), which is when he went insane and turned into the evil, sadistic teacher he is today.
  • Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: Serves as the Laughable Lackey to Norm's Vile Villain in "Back to the Norm".
  • Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Throughout "Back to the Norm", Norm constantly suggests that Crocker just wish Timmy to Mars, where he would suffocate in seconds, but Crocker constantly insists on using elaborate death traps that inevitably fail.
  • Wild Take: He frequently does a comical reacting face whenever he shouts out "Fairy Godparents!" or "Fairies!"
  • Would Hurt a Child: There are some episodes where Crocker cares less about exposing Wanda and Cosmo, and more about destroying Timmy. One of the more noteworthy examples is in "Back to the Norm", where all of the wishes Norm the Genie offers him (aside from wishing for three more wishes whenever he has one left) have to do with creating death traps he intends to use on Timmy Turner and nothing at all with his usual goal of proving that Timmy has fairy godparents.
  • Younger Than They Look: He's canonically in his late thirties or early forties, but he looks borderine decrepit thanks to complications from having his memory erased as a child.

"Poof, poof, poof!"

Cosmo and Wanda's baby son, born at the start of the show's sixth season.


  • Afraid of Needles: Poof is not happy to learn that in order to be cured of the Chicken Poofs he has to be injected with a very large needle. Fortunately, it turned out that the cure is not a needle but is actually a drink.
  • Annoying Younger Sibling: Mostly averted. While he sometimes gets on Timmy's nerves (i.e., for example, in "Lights Out!" Poof's crying kept Timmy up all night, much to the latter's annoyance), both brothers get along okay most of the time.
  • Babies Make Everything Better: Despite Jorgen Von Strangle being worried about what could possibly happen once he came into the world, once Poof was born, this trope started appearing. His very laughter causes good things to happen, and in "Wishology" his smile turns The Darkness into The Kindness. Poof is also literally magical and the first of his kind born in thousands of years.
  • Baby's First Words: His first eligible words upon completing his Pooferty phase: "I! Want! My! Rattle!"
  • Badass Adorable: He single-handedly beat up the Eliminator robots with Ninjitsu in "Wishology", and has had a few battles against his Evil Counterpart, Foop, ever since the latter's birth in "Anti-Poof".
  • Big Brother Worship: Loves Timmy to a fault, to the point of refusing to stop crying until he sees his beloved godbrother. This parallels his father’s worship to his uncle.
  • Big Man on Campus: While not in high school, he becomes the most popular student in "Spellementary School".
  • Brainy Baby: In "He Poofs, He Scores" this is taken literally when he enters Timmy's brain and starts enhancing his soccer-playing skills as instructed.
  • Cheerful Child: He's an infant who is usually happy and gleeful.
  • Cousin Oliver: Is Cosmo and Wanda's son added in the sixth season.
  • Crossdressing Voices: Like Timmy, he is male, but is voiced by Tara Strong.
  • Curtains Match the Window: His single strand of hair is the same color as his eyes.
  • Does Not Know His Own Strength: When he attempts to play football with Denzel Crocker, he ends up sending him flying and buries him in the ground.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: A very, very extreme example: something that looked very much like him appeared at the beginning of the episode "Power Mad, the second episode in Season 1.
  • Goo-Goo-Godlike: Baby Poof is "the most powerful baby in the universe". His father Cosmo also was very powerful as a baby, and he was why Jorgen outlawed (unofficially) fairy babies in the first place.
  • The Heart: Of Timmy's fairy god family.
  • Incorruptible Pure Pureness: The moment he was born, angels started singing in a chorus, it became sunny outside, birds started singing, and deers began to prance happily.
  • Last-Minute Baby Naming: Recieves his name at the end of his debut; he's a boy because "boys love water squirters", and Timmy names him "Poof" because that's what he always says.
  • McNinja: In "Wishology" Part II, he becomes a ninja.
  • Morphic Resonance: Like his parents, his eyes and color scheme usually stay the same when he transforms.
  • Out of Focus: Despite appearing in the remade opening in Season 9, he's started to appear less and less, while Sparky appeared more and more until he was removed by the end of Season 9. He was completely absent from Season 10 thanks to Chloe, until he eventually reappears in the episode "Certifiable Super Sitter", his only appearance in this season.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: In "Bad Heir Day", he manages to pass off as a human child just by wearing Crocker's shirt, necktie and glasses. It's anyone's guess how Crocker didn't notice Poof's floating crown or wings and saw nothing odd about his ability to float.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: His untapped magic makes him dangerous, though unlike Cosmo he quickly learns how to control it.
  • PokĂ©mon Speak: With some exceptions, he typically only says his own name. This stops by "School of Crock".
  • Promoted to Opening Titles: He is finally added to the title sequence in Season 9.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Thanks in part to being a baby, Poof is far more powerful than his parents. He also wears lavender clothing, has purple eyes, and a single strand of purple hair.
  • Put on a Bus: Thanks to the introduction of Chloe in Season 10, Poof is absent for the entire season to avoid focusing on too many characters at once. He only really returns near the end of the season in "Certifiable Super Sitter".
  • Reality Warper: His pure magic allows him to bend reality at will to an extent even his parents can't accomplish. He's also a baby, so he can't fully control this ability.
  • Shoo Out the Clowns: Has this happen to him from time to time. For instance, in "Open Wide and Say Aaagh!", Wanda has Poof sent away to Mama Cosma's house the instant Timmy says he might have a sore throat, where he remains for the rest of the episode... which involves Timmy trying to escape a hospital where Vicky is planning to give him a much more dangerous surgery than the tonsil removal he came there for, with her and the equally crazy staff determined to catch him by any means. Similarly, he is entirely absent for all of the scenes in Lights Out that feature Cosmo and Wanda supposedly turning into vicious child eating monsters from being in total darkness for too long.
  • Shout-Out: He morphs into King Kong and King Gidorah in "Formula For Disaster".
  • Taught by Television: In "Wishology" Part II, he learns martial arts from watching a trailer for a movie about Timmy Turner where his godbrother is portrayed as a ninja.
  • Vocal Evolution: After learning to speak fluently in "School of Crock", Poof has a deeper voice that sounds similar to Ben Tennyson. By "Certifiable Super Sitter", his voice returns to his original pitch (that is, when he's not doing celebrity impersonations).
  • Voluntary Shapeshifter: He Shapeshifts when cranky or masking his identity.

    Chloe Carmichael 

Voiced by: Kari Wahlgren

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chloe_stock_2019.png

Chloe Carmichael is an enthusiastic, funny and over-achieving little girl who Timmy has to share his fairies with. She's also Timmy's new neighbor. She first appears in Season 10.


  • Arbitrary Skepticism: In "Marked Man", she said she doesn't believe aliens exist, despite having a pair of fairies who can use magic. Timmy had to introduce her to Mark Chang to prove their existence.
  • Alliterative Name: Much like Timmy Turner, though only when her middle names aren't included.
  • All-Loving Hero: Almost to a parodied extent, as she is willing to forgive even a giant monster who is destroying the city and doesn't mind that Timmy is a giant jerk to her at first. She even mentioned once that she doesn't believe in hate.
  • Always Someone Better: To Timmy.
  • Berserk Button: She does not like to quit or hear the word "quit". She even treats the word as if it's a swear word.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She may be nice and friendly to everyone, but she does have her limits.
    • When Jorgen first introduces himself to her by poofing into her room, she gets scared and takes him down.
    Jorgen: Ooh, I like this girl! She's got spunk...and a heel of her foot on my windpipe!
  • Broken Ace: Most people she knows see her as perfect, but she also seems to have really low-self esteem, as she easily feels upset about ruining everything whenever she just wants to help, and nobody wants to be her friend.
  • Broken Pedestal: In "The Fair Bears", when she wished for her favorite cartoon characters, the Fair Bears, were real, she was very excited to see them. But after she learned that they brainwashed Timmy and Wanda to force them to be happy, she immediately loses her love for them.
  • Butt-Monkey: She becomes this during her time with Catman in "Whittle Me This". Later episodes seem to continue with this Sometimes.
  • Childish Tooth Gap: She has a gap between her teeth which emphasize her cutesy look.
  • Child Prodigy: She knows 12 languages, including communicating with dolphins.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: She’s nowhere to be seen in the Bunsen Is a Beast crossovers “Fairly Odd Phantom” (a promotional short that crosses over all Nickelodeon cartoons Butch Hartman creatednote ) and “Beast of Friends” (an episode of Bunsen is a Beast consisting of a crossover with The Fairly OddParents which is justified by establishing Bunsen and Cosmo to be friends). Her absence is especially noticeable because her voice actress also voiced Bunsen is a Beast antagonist Amanda Killman.
  • Cousin Oliver: She first appears in Season 10, and the show's opening sequence has a revised theme song mentioning her.
  • Cute Bruiser: When she first saw Jorgen, she knocked him to the floor.
  • Demon Head: When warning Timmy never to touch her "Fair Bears" DVD set.
  • Deuteragonist: She becomes the second main character of the series after Timmy in the 10th season.
  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • Despite her intent to help others, she doesn't think about the possible negative consequences of her actions. Her first wish was for everyone to share everything in Dimmsdale but this causes everyone to basically steal from others.
    • In "Fish Out of Water", Chloe wishes that the fish in the lake can fight back against the fisherman. She believes that once the fish beat up the fishermen, the fishermen will learn their lesson and learn to live with peace with the fish. It didn't work at all because 1) it encouraged the fishermen to wage war against the fish, and 2) the fish decide to lead a revolution to take over Dimmsdale.
    • In "Marked Man", When Timmy introduces Chloe to Mark Chang, Chloe thinks that Mark should reveal himself to the public. Timmy warned Chloe that Mark should not reveal himself because the government agents will capture him, but she ignored his warning because she believes that when everyone see the real him, they will love him for who he is. Not only was she wrong, but government agents arrive to take Mark away.
  • Everyone Has Standards: "The Fair Bears" shows that in spite of how desperately she wants people to get along, she finds accomplishing this through brainwashing to be unacceptable.
  • Foil: As said by Crocker himself, she's Timmy's polar opposite in every way - kind, caring, perfect in every way, and lives with parents who are usually neglectful of her but are selfless eco-warriors in contrast to Timmy's miserable life, selfishness, and living with selfish and wasteful parents who constantly neglect him to be tormented by a Babysitter from Hell.
  • Free-Range Children: Because her parents are usually out traveling all over the world, she is usually by herself and spends most of her time helping others or spending time with Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda.
  • Genki Girl: Her official biography describe her as "an enthusiastic, funny and over-achieving little girl."
  • Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Chloe is generally a pretty girly gal who wears a dress and cute accessories and loves cute things. That said, she is also a skilled martial artist and athlete.
  • Go-Getter Girl: Chloe is notably an over-achiever with a phobia of quitting to the point where she is even against the word being used.
  • Granola Girl: She cares for the enviroment and likes the idea of becoming an eco-warrior. Notably, though, she does enjoy chocolate and ice cream.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She is blonde and essentially a Nice Gal.
  • Hartman Hips: In the episode Dimmsdale Daze, she temporarily has these in her adult form.
  • Hollywood Tone-Deaf: She is terrible at singing.
  • Informed Flaw: The reason she's considered miserable enough for fairies is because her actions sometimes have unforeseen negative consequences, which allegedly leaves her friend-less... if you ignore her popularity throughout her debut. This is changed in later episodes, as she doesn't seem to have any friends other than Timmy.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: She has blue eyes, which reflect her youth and kind personality.
  • Intelligence Equals Isolation: Another of the reasons why she needs Cosmo and Wanda as her Fairy Godparents.
  • It's All About Me: Specifically during her birthdays, which she admits are the one day of the year when she puts herself before others, and proves to be as selfish and demanding as Timmy.
  • Loved by All: She is loved by everyone except for Timmy Turner who was forced to share his fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, with her.
  • Morality Chain: She is the only thing that keeps Mr. Crocker from turning full evil and even Foop ends up developing a soft spot for her.
  • NaĂŻve Newcomer: She has a lot to learn about having fairies and being apart of Timmy's adventures.
  • Named After Somebody Famous: Chloe's middle names come from the Roman Catholic nun and missionary Mother Teresa, and the astronaut Neil Armstrong, respectively.
  • Nice Girl: She's very nice to everyone around her, and everyone loves her for it. So much so that she apparently won the Nobel Prize for Niceness.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: When she's really excited about something, she tends to grab Timmy's face and put it right next to hers.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: After making her first wish for everyone to share, she loses her cool and niceness when someone towed her house away. Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda were surprised to see her like that.
    Chloe: [seeing her house being taken away] Hey! That's my house! That weirdo is stealing my house!
  • Overly Long Name: Her full name is Chloe Mother Teresa Neil Armstrong Carmichael.
  • Parody Sue: A very blatant example. Besides knowing 12 languages, she has a Nobel Prize, the president's number, and all of Dimmsdale's admiration. Heavily downplayed after her debut.
  • The Perfectionist: A fairly obvious example, this goes to the point that she basically shuts down if her parents suggest she made a bad choice.
  • Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: With Timmy.
  • Selective Obliviousness: She has a tendency to go into denial and will try to cover up her negative feelings in an uncomfortable or bad situation by either trying to spin the situation positively, and/or just blatantly ignoring it.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: She shifts into the role of main protagonist for some episodes, pushing out Timmy.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: She was essentially designed as a replacement Sparky - both are energetic, cheerful characters who befriend Timmy late in the series and have similar yellow, orange and blue color schemes.
  • Tsundere: Type B. She may be nice enough to claim a Nobel Prize for it, but it's made evident that she can have QUITE the dark side under certain circumstances. No episode demonstrates this better than "Birthday Battle."
  • Town Girls: Neither to Vicky's butch and Tootie's femme.
  • Unwanted Assistance: She often tries so hard that she gets ahead of herself, thinks without acting and can end up doing more harm than good. Because of that, she alienates everyone around her and has no friends, leaving her miserable enough to need fairies.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: She always assumes that everyone can get along with each other and accept each other for who they are and assumes that everything will work out in the end. She gets proven wrong every single time.
  • Youthful Freckles: She has some freckles on her cheeks.

Former-main characters

    Tootie Flannigan 

Voiced by: Amber Hood (Oh Yeah! Cartoons short "The Fairy Flu"), Grey DeLisle ("Boy Toy" and onward)

Played by: Daniella Monet

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tootie.png
"You're here? In my house? Hm, my Timmy-tracker must be malfunctioning."

Vicky's little sister who harbors an obsessive and unrequited crush on Timmy. Although he usually rejects her advances on account on finding it frightening, Timmy has shown many times in the series to genuinely care for Tootie unlike any other non-fairy or family character, even loaning her his fairies on one occasion note .


  • Abhorrent Admirer: How Timmy sees her most of the time. That's not to say he doesn't care about her, he just doesn't like the way she crushes on him.
  • Adaptational Attractiveness: Tootie looks much better in the live-action movies. Daniella Monet portrays her as a more mature and beautiful character than the one from the show. She's shown to have grown up, ditching the braces and glasses.
  • Ascended Extra: In the live action movies, where she becomes a main character alongside Timmy and his fairies.
  • Bespectacled Cutie: As mentioned down below, she's a geeky but sweet girl, with her huge purple glasses emphasizing this.
  • Betty and Veronica: The Betty to Trixie's Veronica for Timmy's Archie.
  • The Big Damn Kiss: With Timmy in the live-action movie.
  • Big Damn Heroes: In "Channel Chasers", she witnesses Vicky blaming Timmy for the various disasters to the Turner house when she caught him (really Cosmo in disguise) watching TV despite being grounded, so she meets up with Mom and Dad in the guise of "Deep Toot" and reveals the truth, proving Timmy is innocent and Vicky is the true guilty party.
  • Braces of Orthodontic Overkill: Downplayed. Tootie has braces, but they're not the exaggerated headgear type.
  • Butt-Monkey: By virtue of living in the same house as Vicky full-time, she has to put up with Vicky's evil more than Timmy does, with the episode in which Timmy loans Cosmo and Wanda to her revealing that she's actually twice as miserable as he is.
  • Cannot Keep a Secret: In one episode where Timmy lends his fairies to Tootie on her birthday, she nearly exposes their existence to the whole town. This could be the reason why she doesn't have fairy godparents, despite her life being even more miserable than Timmy's.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: With Timmy in the live-action movie.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Clingy, although with the exceptions of You Doo and Take and Fake Tootie seems mostly oblivious or uncaring towards Timmy's other crushes.
  • Demoted to Extra: Besides the live-action movies, she hasn't appeared in the series after Season 7. She eventually reappears in one non-speaking cameo in "Dimmsdale's Got Talent?" (a Season 10's episode).
  • Depending on the Writer: Tootie is more consistently written than other frequently appearing characters, since her character mostly revolves around her crush on Timmy. However, in some episodes, Tootie is more girly-like and is unwilling to hurt a fly, while in other episodes she has a more tomboyish and assertive personality.
  • Did Not Get The Guy: Reversed in the live-action movie though, she does get the guy.
  • Dub Name Change:
    • "Lucie" in the French dub. After the dubbing moved from Belgium to France, her name was changed back.
    • "Trudy" in the German dub.
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Her debut in the Oh Yeah! Cartoons short "The Fairy Flu" depicted her with a more simplified design than what she'd sport for the rest of the series, including a more oval-shaped head, a round nose, no braces, pink glasses frames and a blue dress.
  • First Girl Wins: Assuming Vicky doesn't count, the plot of the live action movie and even some of Butch Hartman's posts/tweets/dialog on the movie suggest that Timmy was destined to fall in love with Tootie.
  • Flanderization: Her crush on Timmy has become increasingly pronounced and creepy from season 4 onward, to the point of obsession and borderline criminality ("I didn't tap your phone line", anyone?). Timmy even manages to get a restraining order against her.
  • Genki Girl: She tends to be hyper and excitable.
  • Girl in the Tower: In this Spanish comic.
  • Girl Next Door: She is considered a geeky yet sweet girl who lives near Timmy (literally and erroneously right next door to him in Merry Wishmas) but he does not return her affections at first, although Timmy does sympathize with her throughout the series and in The Live Action Movie in his adulthood he eventually falls in love with her.
  • Girlish Pigtails: Her regular hairstyle.
  • The Glasses Gotta Go: In the live-action movies, she no longer wears glasses as part of her Girliness Upgrade.
  • Interspecies Romance: With Fairy Timmy at the end of "A Fairly Odd Summer".
  • Invincible Minor Minion: In the video game game Breakin' Da Rules!, she can kill the player in one hit and must be avoided.
  • Not Allowed to Grow Up: Not counting the live action movie, which takes place in her future.
  • Only One Name: Like her sister, the last name is unknown, but is addressed as Flannigan in the live-action films.
  • Pint-Sized Kid: She is the same height as Timmy.
  • Plot Hole: She's obviously more miserable than Timmy is, and yet she somehow doesn't have fairy godparents. Possibly corrected by the live action movie, although with no mention of this plothole and arguably a little late when she really needed them (when she was actually living with Vicky). However, considering an episode in which Timmy temporarily lent his fairies to her on her birthday where Tootie nearly exposed them to the whole town, this could suggest why Tootie has no fairy godparents of her own; because she cannot keep secrets.
  • A Shared Suffering: Both she and Timmy have to put up with Vicky's torment.
  • She Is All Grown Up: In the live-action movies, where she is played by Daniella Monet. She no longer wears braces or glasses, she is much saner when it comes to her crush on Timmy and Timmy falls for her right away.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Her and Vicky. She loves Timmy and is nice, Vicky hates Timmy and is evil to the core.
  • Stalker Shrine: She has one in her room that's dedicated to Timmy, but that's nothing compared to her Timmy-related merchandise, such as posters and toys of him.
  • Stalker with a Crush: On Timmy. Everytime he is around, she will start annoying him and try to kiss him, and she's revealed to have such things as Timmy posters, toys, and a Stalker Shrine dedicated to him. It reaches the point where, in "Kung Timmy," it's revealed Timmy actually has a restraining order against her.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly Girl to Vicky's Tomboy. Vicky loves extreme sports and violent anime, while Tootie has more conventionally feminine interests.

    Chester McBadbat  

Voiced by: Frankie Muniz (first two and a half seasons), Jason Marsden (Abra-Catastrophe! and onward)

Played by: Chris Anderson

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fop_vector_4_chester_mcbadbat_by_rainyhooves_d6ewtc4.png
"No one makes a fool out of Chester McBadbat! Except the school system, the government, and every girl I've ever met!"

Timmy's best human friend, Chester is a boy who lives in a trailer and enjoys downing garbage. Thanks to his father's failed career, he is dirt poor.


  • Allergic to Love: Girls give him the hives!
  • All-Loving Hero: A borderline running gag surrounding him in later episodes—the few times we see him with fairy godparents, he uses them to make the world a better place rather than wish for a bunch of stuff for himself. Deconstructed in "Fairy Idol", where the poor kid's naivete makes the world worse instead, despite his good intentions.
  • Athletically Challenged: It's shown that he inherited his father's less-than-stellar baseball skills in the episode "Foul Balled". He scores 27 outs in one swing at a little league game, earning ire from the crowd. Timmy makes a wish for him to become the greatest baseball player there is. After which Chester excels, to the point where he plays every position, winning all the games and earning the ire of his team as he ends up being a glory hound. But he goes back to his inept ways after he and Timmy temporarily end their friendship after the latter confronts the former. Because Timmy phrased it as he wishes "his friend was the greatest baseball player there is" and since the friendship ended, it cancels out the wish.
  • Big Eater: Especially in "The Big Superhero Wish" where his superhero name is "Matter Muncher Lad". Sadly, he is often shown eating literal garbage.
  • Braces of Orthodontic Overkill: In most episodes, the braces are just a character design, but occasionally it's shown that these braces are practically made of Adamantium. Or stronger. And can deflect lasers.
  • Brown Bag Mask: His father, Bucky McBadBat, is always seen with a paper bag over his head due to the fact that he is ashamed of being the worst baseball player ever.
  • The Chew Toy: On the receiving end of most of the show's slapstick whenever he appears. Not to mention being forced to live in disgrace and poverty due to his dad's failed career.
  • A Day in the Limelight:
    • In "The Big Scoop", the story focuses on him and AJ's attempts to investigate a theory that Timmy got rid of his parents.
    • He's also focused on heavily in "Fairy Idol" and ultimately defeats Norm in the end.
  • Demoted to Extra: Like Tootie and AJ, he fell out of focus around season 7.
  • Dub Name Change: "Charlie" in the French dub. After the dubbing moved from Belgium to France, his original name was used.
  • Dumb Blonde: Less so in earlier seasons, though.
  • Flanderization: From poor to eating garbage, and liking it. He also got dumber.
  • Future Badass: In "Channel Chasers", he fights alongside Timmy and A.J. against Vicky's empire.
  • Girls Have Cooties: They give him hives.
  • Hero with an F in Good: In "Fairy Idol", he tries to use Norm to make the world a better place. Unfortunately, his attempts usually end up just making things worse.
  • Loser Son of Loser Dad: Bad at baseball like his father.
  • Meaningful Name: His last name references he's bad at baseball.
  • The Men in Black: In "Hail to the Chief" where AJ and him act as bodyguards for Timmy when he becomes school president.
  • Naked People Are Funny: In "School's Out The Musical", he goes streaking in a few scenes.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When Norm becomes his fairy godfather in "Fairy Idol", he tries to use him to solve problems with the world. However, he usually ends up causing problems that didn't exist before.
  • Out of Focus: Since Season 7 onward, he hardly has any lines and is lucky, if he does.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: As an adult in "Love At First Height".
  • The Pig-Pen: He and his dad both relish being filthy. This is the result of Flanderization of their earlier rustic, outdoorsy persona.
  • Screams Like a Little Girl: Does it for some moments, when Muniz voiced him.
  • Spanner in the Works: To Norm's plan in "Fairy Idol" by pressing the Reset Button right before Norm would've succeeded in taking away Timmy's Fairies forever.
  • Shout-Out: His identity in "The Big Superhero Wish" was a reference to Matter Eater Lad, a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
  • Those Two Guys: With AJ after they both get Demoted to Extra in later seaons.
  • Took a Level in Dumbass: He started out relatively intelligent yet fairly oblivious, but became a Dumb Blonde in later seasons.
  • Unwitting Pawn: In "Fairy Idol" to Norm. He's not happy when he finds out the truth.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: In "Just the Two of Us". A.J.'s emergency girlfriend kit allows Chester to don a wig and makeup so that the two aren't alone for a couples dance. It works surprisingly well on him.

    AJ 

Voiced by: Ibrahim Haneef Muhammed (seasons 1-2), Gary LeRoi Gray (season 3 and onward)

Played by: Jesse Reid

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ajfairlyoddparents_6.png
"Relax, it's just college. I'll be done in two weeks."

Timmy's other best human friend, AJ is a genius that could give Jimmy Neutron a run for his money.


  • Black and Nerdy: He's black, and a genius, but not very good at social skills.
  • Blue Means Smart One: AJ is a straight-A student who is so intelligent that the government has sought him out for his technical assistance. He wears a light blue sweater vest and is the only one in the main cast who wears blue.
  • Book Smart: He is the only straight "A" student in his class, despite having an insane Sadist Teacher like Mr. Crocker.
  • Child Prodigy: He is in fifth grade and only ten years old and not only does he have the highest I.Q. in his school and his town of Dimmsdale, he frequently invents items which that are futuristic such as a suspended animation tube in one movie. He also can make several clones of himself and is apparently an adviser to the government concerning technology issues.
  • Day in the Limelight: In "The Big Scoop", he and Chester get to share a main protagonist role for once.
  • Demoted to Extra: Like Tootie and Chester, he hasn't appeared in show after a while.
  • Dub Name Change:
    • "Arthur" in the French dub. After the dubbing moved from Belgium to France, his original name was used.
    • RJ in the Polish dub, though in seasons 3 and 4 (which was dubbed by a different studio) he retains his original name.
  • Flanderization: From being more intelligent than average to a supergenius.
  • Future Badass: In "Channel Chasers" he fights Vicky's tyranny in the Bad Future along with Timmy and Chester
  • Gadgeteer Genius: A.J. has a secret lab in his bedroom which he uses to create clones, inventions, and conduct scientific research.
  • Human Shield: Chester uses him as one in "Transparents".
  • Insufferable Genius: At times. In the episode "Smarty Pants," for example, he openly gloats about his straight A's and rubs them in Timmy's face every chance he gets.
  • Only One Name: Unlike Chester, his last name is never revealed.
  • Out of Focus: Since Season 7 onward, he hardly gets any lines and is lucky if he does.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: As an adult in "Love at First Height". It's literally just a trenchcoat, a hat, and a moustache.
  • Prematurely Bald: He's ten years old and there's not a strand of hair on his head. "It's a Wishful Life" reveals he would have a full head of hair if Timmy was never born... for some reason.
  • Psychic Powers: In "The Big Superhero Wish" he becomes a Professor X pastiche, with the telepathic powers to match.
  • The Rival: While he's normally one of Timmy's best friends, in episodes where Timmy is actually trying in an academic pursuit ("Smarty Pants" and the first Jimmy-Timmy Power Hour), he plays the role of the smug Insufferable Genius antagonist.
  • Shout-Out: His identity in "The Big Superhero Wish" was a reference to Professor X.
  • Those Two Guys: With Chester as the two get Demoted to Extra later on in the series.
  • Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: His mom is quite attractive. The same can't be said for his dad, however.
  • With Friends Like These...: The most likely out of Timmy's group to snark at or make fun of him.

    Trixie Tang 

Voiced by: Dionne Quan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trixie_2.png
"Tell me I'm pretty!"

The popular schoolgirl whom Timmy has an unrequited crush on. She doesn't seem to return the affection unless he makes a wish resulting in it. Voiced by Dionne Quan.


  • Alliterative Name: Trixie Tang
  • Almost Kiss: A running gag between her and Timmy in "Wishology" Part III. They constantly get interrupted by Jorgen, Timmy's Dad, The Big Bad...
  • Alpha Bitch: Her more common characterization. She is rich, popular, AND lusted after by everyone, including Timmy, the main character.
  • Attention Whore: Timmy learns the hard way, in "Just the Two of Us", that Trixie is this to the extreme. She expects everyone to compliment her beauty. When he wished only he and Trixie were alone on Earth, he unwittingly takes responsibillity of feeding her with attention equal to "hundreds of boys".
    Trixie: "Tell me I'm pretty!"
  • Ax-Crazy: In "Just The Two Of Us", with an attempted murder to Timmy.
  • Betty and Veronica: The Veronica to Tootie's Betty for Timmy's Archie.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: "Just the Two of Us" and "Emotion Commotion".
  • Closet Geek: She has geeky interests like comic books that she keeps under wraps.
  • Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: When Timmy saved her from the seemingly harmless plant in "Class Clown". Granted, Trixie never realized that this seemingly harmless plant is really a voracious alien monster. (Trixie did briefly see the plant in its true form but was quickly put to sleep and most likely thought it was a dream when she woke up.)
  • Compressed Vice: Her insanity in "Just the Two of Us!" Possibly a Justified Trope in that it's the only time she's seen without a gaggle of boys around her, so she's becoming unhinged due to having only one boy to give her attention at all times.
  • Cultural Rebel: An Alpha Bitch who is secretly a comic book fangirl.
  • Demoted to Extra: She seems to have suffered from this, especially after Season 7. This is due to the fact that Dionne Quan left the show.
  • Depending on the Writer: Her entire behavior. She can be a Rich Bitch Spoiled Brat or a Lovable Alpha Bitch depending on the episode. You'll usually see the latter in early episodes and the former in later ones.
  • Dub Name Change: "Katie" in the French dub. After the dubbing moved from Belgium to France, her original name was used.
  • Dude Magnet: Is considered the prettiest girl in the school by many boys, including Timmy.
  • Flanderization: She went from a relatively realistically portrayed Alpha Bitch with hints of Hidden Depths in the first two seasons to a very stereotypical Alpha Bitch in season 3 onward.
  • Freak Out: An enormous one when Timmy wishes they were the only two people on Earth. Let's just say she doesn't take isolation well.
  • Gender-Bender Friendship: She befriended Timmy after he was turned into a girl, going as far to say that if (s)he was a boy, she'd date him/her.
  • The Ghost: She has become this in Seasons 8 and 9, where she is occasionally mentioned but she never is seen on-screen.
  • Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: The episode "The Boy Who Would Be Queen" reveals the girly, fashionable and popular Alpha Bitch Trixie has an interest in "boy things" such as comic books and video games, even dressing up as a boy to disguise herself when going to buy comic books, and she also thinks dead frogs are cool, all of which is something she tries to keep a secret from others.
  • Go Mad from the Isolation: In "Just the Two of Us", she loses her mind due to her and Timmy being the last two humans on Earth.
  • Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Her outfit and eyeshadow are purple.
  • Hates Being Alone: In "Just The Two Of Us", it's shown that she is cripplingly terrified of being alone, to the point of insanity. She may have Borderline Personality Disorder or Histrionic Personality Disorder.
  • Hidden Depths: The episode, "The Boy Who Would Be Queen" reveals that she's secretly into comic books and is too afraid to admit it out of fear of being ostracized.
  • Hidden Heart of Gold: "The Boy Who Would Be Queen" implies her Alpha Bitch tenancies are a facade. She lets her guard down when her friends are not around.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: She must be this if she prefers the Small Names, Big Egos twins Tad & Chad over Timmy.
  • If I Can't Have You…: In "Just the Two of Us," if a bit odd given that she and Timmy were the only people on Earth at that point.
  • It's All About Me: In "Just The Two Of Us!", it's revealed that she doesn't care if someone loves her or not. As long as people tell her she's pretty 24/7 or make her the center of attention, she doesn't go insane.
  • Kissing Under the Influence: She sometimes shows interest in Timmy as a result of one of his wishes (which in at least two cases was brainwashing).
  • Lovable Alpha Bitch: In the first two seasons, prior to Flanderization.
  • Love Letter Lunacy: From Timmy in "Information Stuper Highway". The only part she didn't like was a part his dad wrote.
  • Loves My Alter Ego: In "The Masked Magician", she thinks Timmy's new superheroic alter ego is "cute", despite it being just Timmy in a domino mask and a top hat.
  • Meaningful Name: "Trixie" is slang for the stereotypical vain sorority girl who lusts for the Jerk Jock. Appropriately, one of her popular kid admirers is named "Chad," which is slang for said Jerk Jock types.
  • Narcissist: Trixie has shades of this such as: admiring herself way too much by seeing herself as the most beautiful and popular girl at her school, demanding the bus driver introduce her to the other kids in her debut episode, demanding validation from the boys at her school (and going nuts when Timmy didn't give it to her), and she constantly looks down on certain people for shallow reasons (the unpopular kids).
  • Now or Never Kiss: Her and Timmy in "Wishology". They finally get to it as The Darkness threatens to destroy them.
  • Peer-Pressured Bully: The first two seasons imply that she's not as mean as she lets on, and that she only behaves that way for image's sake. After season 3, flanderization hit and Trixie's hints of Hidden Depths were discarded.
  • Proud Beauty: She is depicted as a typical spoiled rich girl, a vain braggart who likes to flaunt her outer beauty when she needs a quick fix. She is thought of by everyone at Dimmsdale Elementary to be the most beautiful girl in school.
  • Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: In "Just the Two of Us", Trixie is driven insane due to being stuck with Timmy as the only person on earth and desperately craving his attention in adoration. She gets violently possessive of him and, when he breaks up with her, actively tries to murder him.
  • Rich Bitch: She is very rich and she loves to flaunt it, which adds to her status as an Alpha Bitch.
  • Satellite Love Interest: She has not much personality outside of being an Alpha Bitch who is liked by Timmy, barring some Hidden Depths revealed in one episode.
  • Shout-Out: Her identity as Wonder Gal was referencing either Wonder Woman or Wonder Girl, her Teen Titans counterpart.
  • Spoiled Brat: Along with Veronica plus her clique boys.
  • Statuesque Stunner: Though she's about the same age as Timmy, she's taller than every boy at her school other than Francis.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: While she was always an Alpha Bitch, she initially had a more likeable side along with other Hidden Depths. From Season 3 on, however, she became little more than a stereotypical snobby mean girl.
  • Twitchy Eye: During her Sanity Slippage in "Just the Two of Us". Provides the trope image!
  • The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter: She's much better looking than her stubby and balding father.
  • Ungrateful Bitch: In "Class Clown", she shuns Timmy for killing the Seemingly Harmless Plant he gave her as a gift, instead of thanking him for saving her life. Justified, as it's implied that she lost part of her memory when she was knocked unconscious by the plant's gas.
  • Unmanly Secret: Gender-inverted. She hides her interests in "boy things" like comic books and pro wrestling.
  • Yandere: In "Just the Two of Us", she becomes psychotic when she and Timmy become the only two people on Earth, constantly demanding Timmy to adore her and call her pretty at all times. She then attempts to kill Timmy when he breaks up with her.

    Sparky

"I bark funny!"

Timmy's Fairy Dog. Timmy ends up owning him at the start of season 9.

  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: He doesn't appear at all in season 10, apparently since his unpopularity among both fans and the production team led to scrapping him from the show.
  • Dogs Are Dumb: He's both a dog and an idiot. Unsurprisingly, his low intelligence makes him get along rather well with Cosmo.
  • Easily Forgiven: In "Fairly OddPet", as shown below. No one seems to hold all the trouble he caused in his first episode against him at all.
  • Karma Houdini: In "Fairly OddPet", where he causes all sorts of destruction and Timmy forgives him and still keeps him. This is one of the reasons why he's currently absent from the series, though the following episodes made him a more likable —or at least, tolerable— character.
  • Lethally Stupid: His idiocy often has him endanger the other characters.
  • Plot Hole/Continuity Snarl: The addition of Sparky brings on some continuity issues, such as Sparky not being there on the end of Channel Chasers (the same contradiction happened with Poof) and him not being in the live-action movies - A Fairly Odd Movie and A Fairly Odd Christmas - both taking place thirteen years after the events of the main series. In A Fairly Odd Movie, there is even a scene in which Wanda states that Timmy doesn't have a dog. The third movie, even after coming out after Sparky's inclusion, does not try to mention his existence.
  • Talking Animal: Unlike Timmy's godparents, Sparky is fine to talk to people sometimes. Anybody is fooled to think that he just "barks funny."
  • Team Pet: Of Timmy's fairy godfamily.
  • Unusually Uninteresting Sight: No one in Dimmsdale finds it weird that he can talk and walk on his hind legs. The few who do realize that it isn't normal for dogs to do so simply conclude that they are hallucinating or are otherwise in an unhealthy state of mind.
