About
Tinkerbell (sometimes spelled as Tinkerbelle, also known as Tink for short), is a fictional character from J. M. Barrie's 1904 play and 1911 novel Peter and Wendy. Though sometimes ill-tempered and vindictive (getting the Lost Boys to shoot arrows at Wendy),at other times she is helpful and kind to Peter. The extremes in her personality are explained in-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 (sometimes called "pixie dust" by Disney, and presented as "starstuff" in Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's novel series).Tinker Bell has been one of Disney's most important branding icons for over half a century, and is generally known as "a symbol of 'the magic of Disney'. There is an urban legend that the original animated version of Tinker Bell was modeled after Marilyn Monroe. He illustrated Tinker Bell as a young, blonde haired, big blue eyed, white female, with an exaggerated hour-glass figure. She is clad in a short lime-green dress with a rigid trim, and green slippers with white puffs. She is trailed by small amounts of pixie dust when she moves, and this dust can help humans fly if they believe it will. Some critics have complained that Disney's version of Tinker Bell is too sexually suggestive.
Tinker Bell is a tinker fairy born of a baby's first laugh. She is fascinated by stories about the mainland, and is thus discouraged to learn that tinkers don't go there. She tries to learn various other skills before finally accepting, with the help of her friends, that she truly is a tinker. She helps to repair the massive damage she created and is rewarded, as she is allowed to join the nature fairies on their trip.
