Tinker Bell belongs to Peter alone and makes that clear the moment Wendy appears, calling her a great ugly girl and vanishing into the bathroom in a huff. Her common origins, she mends kettles, and her rude, unapologetic loyalty set her apart from the sentimental fairies of gentler tales. She matters because her jealousy toward Wendy plants the first friction in Neverland, and because her devotion to Peter will be tested in ways that reveal what fairy love costs.
