Tinker Bell is a fictional character from J. M. Barrie's 1904 play
Peter Pan and its 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy. She has appeared
in a variety of 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 2006 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 recognized unofficial mascot of The Walt
Disney Company, next to the company's official mascot Mickey Mouse,
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.Barrie described Tinker Bell as a fairy who mended pots
and kettles, an actual tinker of the fairy folk. 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, vindictive and inquisitive, she is
also 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. At the end of the novel, when
Peter flies back to find an older Wendy, it is mentioned that Tinker
Bell died in the year after Wendy and her brothers left Neverland, and
Peter no longer remembers her.
