## Biography

### Twinkle, Twinkle, Time for Bed

Night Light is Nadella's favorite stuffed sidekick. As Nadella does activities with him and the viewers, he asks her if he can stay up a little longer, a reference to the real-life fact that kids are doing the same to their parents, and the two hold up a debate for the rest of the night as to whether or not Night Light should be tucked in. Nadella does this with kindness, but it's a fight. She of course, does eventually win this fight. In the last segment, Night Light finally gets ready for bed and falls asleep.

### Twinkling with the Stars

Night Light is actually a toy, but magically comes to life when nobody else is around (in all but two episodes), except for Nadella. He gives her happiness and confidence. Night Light is quick with cuddles, loves spending time with Nadella, and beams with pride when witnessing her curiosity and determination. Above all, Night Light adores his best friend, and follows her around as a ready and willing assistant to whatever she's up to each day.

## Personality

Night Light is Nadella's yellow plush Twinkle Light, given as a gift when she was still a baby, by her parents and bought by them in a children's store. From then until now, this little buddy serves as a playful companion in the various adventures of his owner and, in addition to having great emotional meaning for Nadella, she finds it very comforting to cuddle him when she's going to sleep. Night Light has been a big part of Nadella's bedtime routine for the past many years. She just likes having something to snuggle, as well as something soft to hold by her side.

Nadella absolutely loves Night Light, and takes him with her almost everywhere! She even enjoys showing him off to her friends, all of whom are annoyed by the stuffed Twinkle Light given to Nadella.

## Appearance

In *Twinkle, Twinkle, Time for Bed*, Night Light is a stuffed animal puppet with pale yellow fur, except on his ears and the top of his head. He has small wings, star-shaped antennae, orange eyes, a star on his belly, and a star on his tail, which glows bright yellow when he uses it as a wand.

An animated version of him also appears on *Twinkle, Twinkle, Time for Bed'*s spin-off series, *Twinkling with the Stars*.

## Trivia

* Night Light is not only a toy, but also one that plays music, which has since become the theme song. When Nadella pulls on his tail or presses the button on his belly, Night Light plays a soft, music-box lullaby tune (actually the show's theme song).
* Night Light was Nadella's first gift! We learned in one episode that Nadella was given Night Light by her parents on the day of her birth while still in the nursery, which was on March 17 (probably in 1990).
* According to another episode of *Twinkle, Twinkle, Time for Bed*, Night Light's favorite color is yellow (which matches his fur color).
* Night Light has been mistaken for a girl several times, even by Kiddie Channel itself.
* Along with Nadella, Night Light appears in the "When's Your Birthday?" musical bumper that Kiddie Channel airs in-between some shows.
* In *Twinkling with the Stars*, "Nadella's Good Night" and "Nadella Unplugged" are the only episodes where Night Light does not speak nor come alive.
