Tinkerbell Supplies and FavorsTinkerbell Fun FactsTinker Bell (also known as "Tinkerbell" in common usage), is a fictional character in J.M. Barrie's play and subsequent novel Peter and Wendy, as well as numerous adaptations including the widely known animated Disney film Peter Pan. In the original book and play, 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. Barrie's fairies are dependent on the belief of others to survive. In one famous scene, she is dying, but will survive if enough people believe in fairies. In the play the characters make a plea to the children watching to sustain her by shouting out "I believe in fairies," and clapping, an example of "breaking the fourth wall." In the novel and the 2003 film, Peter calls out to dreaming children within the storytelling universe to believe in her. At the end of the novel, when Peter returns to the Darling home after a year in Neverland, it is revealed that Tinker Bell "is no more" since "fairies don't live long, but they are so small that a short time seems a good while to them." Peter has forgotten her. Screen adaptations of the story omit this scene. Although originally just a supporting character in Barrie's story, she has become widely known beyond this context. This is especially true of her interpretation by the Walt Disney Company, who have long used her as a mascot and later established the Disney Fairies media franchise around her. The character's name is often used as a synonym for fairy. Tinker Bell, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tinker_Bell&oldid=183786200 Balloon
