Tinkerbell from Peter Pan

Tinker Bell is described as a common fairy who is small, slender, hand-sized, and fair-skinned. She is feisty and hot-tempered (with her body turning fiery red when angered), but also quite cute. She has blue eyes, blond hair worn in bun, and pointy ears. Though she sometimes has a jealous side and can be 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 by the fact that a fairy's size prevents her from holding more than one feeling at a time.

As a fairy, Tinker Bell can fly and produces pixie dust, which allows others to fly. She is described as being a tinker, meaning that she mends pots and kettles, and is shown to be very talented at it.

When the film Peter Pan was in development, the filmmakers knew Tinker Bell couldn't have been a mere spot of light, as she was portrayed in all Peter Pan incarnations before. Tinker Bell was designed and animated by one of Walt Disney's Nine Old Men, Marc Davis. Without the aid of vocal performance, Marc relied on Tinker Bell's expressions for the animation much like previous pantomime Disney characters such as Pluto and Dopey. Upon the release of the film, Tinker Bell received critical acclaim and continued to shine as one of Disney trademark characters.
