Tinker Bell (Peter Pan & Wendy)

Tinker Bell is a character who appears in the 2023 live-action film Peter Pan & Wendy.
She is based on both the character of the same name from the play by J.M. Barrie and Disney's 1953 animated film Peter Pan.
==Role in the film==
Tinker Bell is first seen arriving at the Darling family's house flying quietly which she approaches Wendy who is sleeping, sprinkling Pixie Dust on her only for John to catch her, followed by Michael noticing Wendy who has it followed by Peter Pan to arriving at the house, introducing himself to the Darlings. In a plan to bring the children of the Darling out of the house, Tink follows Peter who is about to catch his shadow which Peter was able to catch it. Seeing Tink, Wendy asks Peter to know if she can speak which Peter replies that she can speak and as Wendy studies her gestures, Peter interprets: "All fairies are small, that's what makes them fairies". Later in a plan to take the children to Never Land, Tink then sprinkles Pixie Dust onto Wendy, followed by John and Michael for them to fly to which the three of them suddenly fly thanks to the Pixie Dust effect with faith, trust, and a little bit of Pixie Dust just as Tink follows alongside Peter bringing them to Neverland.
Following the Second Star to the Right, Tinker Bell guides Peter, Wendy, John, and Michael across Neverland where they fly across the place where children never grow up while Captain Hook who is on his ship spots Peter Pan using his telescope, leading his crew to target him, resulting in Tink, Peter, Wendy, John, and Michael under attack by the pirates during their arrival at Neverland which Hook fires a cannonball at the edge where Peter, Tink, and the Darlings are standing, knocking them off the edge while Hook uses his telescope to find any sign of Peter Pan in his sight.
After Peter Pan removes his disguise at Skull Rock, Tinker Bell follows alongside Peter in helping foil Hook's crew to which as the pirates escape, Tink was able to rescue John and Michael who have been held captive, thanks to her Pixie Dust just as she leads Peter Pan, Wendy, John, Michael, and Tiger Lily out of Skull Rock while Hook and his crew are under attack by Tick-Tock the Crocodile which they are able to escape from Hook, his crew, and the Crocodile. Tinker Bell then follows along Wendy who suddenly arrives at the Lost Children's Hideout where she arrives alongside Peter who enters. When Wendy sings a lullaby to her siblings as well as the Lost Children, Tinker Bell hears Wendy singing "All Grown Up" to the children quietly.
Wendy then approaches Tinker Bell where she attempts to understand her unlike Peter which Tink tells Wendy to follow her upstairs while making non-verbal gestures into Peter's room as Wendy sees the name "James" crossed out on the door, which Tinker Bell tells her that the name is linked to Captain Hook as she shows her an image of a hook in the form of Pixie Dust as Tink takes her there. Suddenly when Tink notices Peter falling down from high below, she attempts to save him only for Tink to be captured by Mr. Smee in his beanie, placing her into a lantern where she is held captive at the Jolly Roger just as Smee holds the lantern where she is trapped. Soon as Captain Hook is sending his crew to kill Wendy, Michael, John, and the Lost Children, Tink worriedly notices Hook's evil plans.
The next day, Mr. Smee holds the lantern where Tinker Bell is trapped which as she notices Wendy who is about to walk the plank by falling into the ocean, Tink manages to free herself from the lantern she was trapped (also destroying the lantern Mr. Smee was holding) just as Tink manages to save Wendy from falling into the ocean. All of a sudden, Tink provides the Pixie Dust effect onto Hook's ship, causing the ship to float into the air while Hook tells his crew to get the ship back into the water. As Peter Pan takes on Captain Hook in battle, Tink joins in the battle in fighting off Hook's pirates, alongside Wendy, Michael, John, the Lost Children, and Tiger Lily.
With Captain Hook and his crew defeated, Tinker Bell remains onboard the Jolly Roger as Wendy returns back home to London. After Wendy reunites with her parents, she later bids a farewell to Peter Pan who is returning back to Neverland while Tinker Bell thanks Wendy for hearing just as Tink follows alongside Peter who is returning to Neverland. At the end of the film, Tinker Bell and Peter Pan pass by Captain Hook who is shown to have survived on shore which Hook begins to smile, implying that he has forgiven Peter.
==Trivia==
*Unlike in the original film where she had no dialogues throughout the entire film, Tink has dialogues similar to what happened in the Disney Fairies film series; however, Tink does not speak until during the end of the film where she thanks Wendy for hearing her.
*Unlike the 1953 animated film, the original J. M. Barrie play, or every other Peter Pan adaptation in general, this incarnation of Tink is never shown to be jealous of Wendy, but instead befriends her.
