Wanda Fairywinkle-Cosma

**Wanda Venus Fairywinkle-Cosma** is one of the main characters in the series, who is one of Timmy and Chloe's fairy godparents, alongside her husband Cosmo, and her son Poof. Unlike her husband, Wanda tends to be more responsible and is reluctant to grant dumb wishes, but is usually obliged to grant them anyway or Cosmo grants them instead. Wanda is voiced by Susanne Blakeslee in the cartoon, who also voiced the CGI version of Wanda in the Live-Action Movies. A humanized version of Wanda also appeared in the first live movie, played in live action by Cheryl Hines.

## Biography

Bright and compassionate, Wanda loves her current godchild Timmy just as much as she loves her son, Poof, and husband Cosmo. She is also the most responsible out of the bunch. In "Fairly Odd Baby", it is revealed that Cosmo was the second last baby born in Fairy World (before Wanda), implying that Wanda is slightly younger than him, and is the middle of Timmy's fairies. She is often blamed for the misadventures that she and her family get themselves into by Jorgen von Strangle, who states she should take care to watch them better because of Cosmo's dangerous stupidity. She always loses to Cosmo when it comes to second guessing what Timmy wants to do, usually because Timmy wants to do something fun or destructive. She was apparently very popular in high school.

Wanda is usually seen as more intelligent than her other half, Cosmo, and this is parodied to the extreme in Anti-Wanda and Anti-Cosmo, who are exact opposites of Cosmo and Wanda. Anti-Cosmo is Wanda's equivalent and is an evil genius, while Anti-Wanda is Cosmo's equivalent and is the dumber one who often foils everything with her incredible stupidity. Despite this, however, Wanda can be just as guilty as her husband in making errant wishes without reading Da Rules first, causing Timmy to get into trouble or into a situation that cannot easily be unwished. Usually though, it is Wanda who is the sole voice of reason when Cosmo and Timmy are about to make a dumb wish (though originally in the shorts Wanda came off as ditzy.)

Wanda is originally described as daffy, as was her husband, and holds a wicked temper. She is often defined as an extremely nagging woman by many characters on the show.

## Trivia

* Her name - or disguise as goldfish - may have been based on the rated-R movie, *A Fish Called Wanda.*
* She has a love for chocolate which borderlines addiction. Example: Where's Wanda?
* Her full name is Wanda Venus Fairywinkle, as revealed in "77 Secrets of The Fairly Odd Parents Revealed!"
* She calls Timmy "Sport" because she forgets Timmy's name a lot.
* Another thing revealed in the list of secrets is that she dyes her hair.
* Her hair was originally going to be blue, but since Timmy's room was blue, it wouldn't have shown up, so it was changed to pink.
* One of Wanda's eyebrows is always down, and the other is up.
* Wanda's name was originally going to be Venus, to compliment Cosmo's "spacey" name. However, Butch Hartman went with Wanda because it seemed like a natural fit for her with her wand. She was also first designed frumpy and unattractive.
* In the Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts, Wanda's earrings are reddish, whereas in The Fairly OddParents series, her earrings are golden.
* Wanda's design, especially her hair, was inspired by Wilma Flintstonefrom the classic 1960's animated series, *The Flintstones*.
* The romantic relationships between Wanda and Cosmo are similar to those of Marge and Homer Simpson from *The Simpsons;* Butch Hartmanhimself is fan of that show.
* In "The Big Scoop", Chester and A.J. saw pictures and even mentioned Cosmo and Wanda but in Da Rules, it says if someone's fairies are mentioned or exposed by other people except fellow godchildren, the fairy or fairies go away forever. This may indicate they must first be revealed as fairies instead of just existent beings.
* She, along with Cosmo has been in all but one episode of the entire series.
* Wanda has 2 Zappy Awards, one from "The Zappys", and a second from "Blondas Have More Fun!".
* In "Wanda's Day Off", the other female fairies at a high-class beauty spa are disdainful of Wanda because she was wished there by her godson, instead of being rich and paying for it. Their disdain blossoms into jealousy when they learn that their crush Juandissimo, who works at the spa, still pines for her, which implies that Wanda is something of a beauty. Though she appears to have little social life (perhaps thanks to Cosmo), she has at least two friends as seen in "Dog's Day Afternoon".
* Wanda appeared in *"The Fairly OddParental Controls"*, voiced by Tara Strong, who voices Timmy and Poof in the show.
* In the series' early episodes (like the episode The Big Problem), Wanda's skin color was *light pink* instead of *caucasian*. It can be confirmed by seeing her along with Cosmo (who always had caucasian skin). The color of her skin was later changed to caucasian.
* In Fairy Idol, Wanda calls the Timmy clone a "twerp", one of Vicky's well-known lines.
* She, Cosmo, and Poof will always be Godparents of the same kid together, because they are from the same family.
* Susan Blakeslee, who voices Wanda, who also voices over many female characters including Mrs. Turnerand Anti-Wanda.
* Cosmo and Wanda have been married for over ten thousand years.
* She was the only female main character until Chloe's debut.
* As seen in Freaks and Greeks, Wanda holds a wicked temper and tends to yell at working fairies.
* Wanda's color scheme may be reference to the Sex Pistols' album,*Never Mind The Bullocks, Here's The Sex Pistols* as her shirt and hair colour coincide with the colours of the UK version cover. Cosmo has a similar occurrence as well.
* Apparently she doesn't like watching violent things and prevents Poof from watching them (although she didn't mind CC Cruiser).
* She doesn't speak Spanish although in the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour she called Jimmy 'Amigo' which is Spanish for friend. On the other hand, she might have learned some Spanish in between "Engine Blocked" and "Jimmy Timmy Power Hour".
* According to Future Lost, she can put others to sleep just by talking to them this also affects herself if she says it to her reflection.
* She is usually serious about everything but has been shown to have a very bad sense of humor according to the School's Out!: The Musical bloopers during the jail scene after Cosmo tries to do pull ups and than cuts the cheese she laughs at him and so does he. In Class Clown, she and Cosmo laugh at Timmy and don't take him seriously. In Hairicane, after seeing Timmy's bad hair cut she and Cosmo both laugh and so on.In conclusion, she can lighten up at times.
* She's been calling Timmy *sport*throughout most of the series, but in an Oh Yeah! Cartoon short, Party of Three!, she called him *slugger*.
* In the Season 9 episode, Let Sleeper Dogs Lie, she reveals why she calls Timmy sport, because fairies have bad memory and she always forgets his name.
* She appeared in the Big Time Rush episode, Big Time Cartoon, only to have a line.
* Even though she's smart, she can make dumb decisions. Like in Timmy's Secret Wish, she tried to poof up people to help Timmy but she choose Dark Laser which was a terrible idea and made it worse. In The Terrible Twosome, she tries to punish Poof even though she knows that Terrible Twos are a rebel stage and making Poof angrier.
* She and Lois Griffin from Family Guy are very similar, in that they both always nag their husband and children (Peter, Cosmo , Meg , Timmy and Chris) and both have babies (Poof and Stewie)
