Tinker Bell
Tinker Bell (Tink for short), is a fictional character from J. M. Barrie's 1904 play ''Peter Pan'' and its 1911 novelization ''Peter and Wendy''. She has appeared in multiple film and television adaptations of the Peter Pan stories, in particular the 1953 animated Walt Disney picture ''Peter Pan''. She also appears in the official sequel ''Peter Pan in Scarlet'' by Geraldine McCaughrean commissioned by Great Ormond Street Hospital as well as the "Peter and the Starcatchers" book series by Ridley Pearson and Dave Barry. At first only a supporting character described by her creator as "a common fairy", her animated incarnation was a hit and has since become a widely recognised unofficial mascot of The Walt Disney Company, and the centrepiece of its ''Disney Fairies'' media franchise including the direct-to-DVD film series ''Tinker Bell'' and Walt Disney's ''Wonderful World of Color''.
==In original play and novel==
Tinker Bell was described by Barrie as a fairy who mended pots and kettles, an actual tinker of the fairy folk.〔''Peter Pan'' (play), Act I/''Peter and Wendy'' (novel), Chapter III〕 Her speech consists of the sounds of a tinkling bell, which is understandable only to those familiar with the language of the fairies.
Though sometimes ill-tempered, spoiled, jealous,〔(Project Gutenberg text of Charles Scribner's Sons New York edition CHAPTER VI THE LITTLE HOUSE )〕 and vindictive,〔(Project Gutenberg text Charles Scribner's Sons New York edition CHAPTER V THE ISLAND COME TRUE )〕 at other times she is inquisitive, helpful and kind to Peter. The extremes in her personality are explained in the story by the fact that a fairy's size prevents her from holding more than one feeling at a time, so when she is angry she has no counterbalancing compassion. Fairies can enable others to fly by sprinkling them with fairy dust (called "pixie dust" in the Disney films, and presented as "starstuff" in Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's novel series).〔 At the end of the novel it is implied that Tinker Bell has died the year after Wendy and her brothers left Neverland, as fairies have very short lives, and Peter has no memory of her at all.
