Tinkerbell, the most feisty and spunky character of Peter Pan, is also the most popular among young children (girls in particularly). Every halloween, many girls dress up in fairy wings and green dresses to represent Tinkerbell. Tinkerbell, more popular than Wendy (the main female character of Peter Pan), is a classic representation of a fantastic disney "side" character that has the ability to draw in more viewers than many of the main characters. Tinkerbell, a beautiful and tiny fairy, has a strong love for the main character, Peter Pan. However, when Peter meets Wendy and her two brothers and brings them along on an epic journey to Never Land, Peter falls for Wendy and her affectionate nature. Tinkerbell will not allow this, and creates many hilarious scenes in the movie where she intentionally interfers in the relationship of Peter and Wendy. From flirting shamelessly with Peter to taking drastic measures such as tying up Wendy, Tinkerbell's mischevious and jealous attitude draws in attention and creates conflict in the movie that may otherwise not be there. Although seemingly troublesome and obnoxious, however, Tinkerbell ends up pulling her weight when the saves Peter, Wendy, and Wendy's brothers from pirates they encounter on their sojourn toward Never Land. Tinkerbell, although small and trouble-making, not only provides an audience with comical cat-fights and childish behavior, but also supports the hero in times of need, pulling some of the responsible weight.
