Who is Tinkerbell?

inker Bell is the jealous pixie who glows brightest for Peter Pan. Her voice sings like a tinkling bell and a sprinkle of her pixie dust can make you fly. But this sprite can turn spiteful if she suspects that Peter's attentions are diverted to anyone but herself. It's bad enough that she has to compete with Never Land's other adoring females (the mermaids and Princess Tiger Lily), but now Peter's brought back this Wendy person from London. Tink would lay down her life for Peter, but he's too busy playing Wendy's hero to care. Somehow she'll find a way to settle the score, even if it takes eliminating the competition. Tinker Bell is described as a common fairy who mends pots and kettles, i.e. a tinker, and is often referred to simply as "Tink". Though sometimes ill-behaved and vindictive, at other times she is helpful and kind to Peter (for whom she apparently has romantic feelings). 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. Tinker Bell, like other fairies in Barrie's works, can make it possible for others to fly, by sprinkling them with fairy dust. Though she couldn't speak, her actions are convincing enough to prove how dear Peter Pan is. She is an epitome of a person who gives up everything for a loved one. Here are some of her "infamous" quotes:

.."Someday you'd find your own Peter Pan. A guy who would take care of you and fly with you against the winds. But then you'd notice that his heart still belongs to Wendy"..

..When Peter Pan saw Tinkerbell again after quite sometime, he asked, "Why did you have to go away for so long?" Tinkerbell replied, "You never gave me a reason to come back. I was always there when you needed me, but I guess you never showed how important I am to your life. Now it's different and now we've changed. But I'm still smiling." Peter Pan asked her why and she said, "I myself don't know the reason. It's just that now..it's your turn to miss me."

"..And in that place bet wide awake and sleepin'..That place where we still remember dreamin'..Is where I'll love you always.."
