- “Tinker-talents are best at fixing things. They are dedicated problem solvers and creative thinkers.”
- ―Pixie Hollow Online
Tinker-talent fairies are Never Fairies who design, invent, and fix tools that are used throughout Pixie Hollow.
Story
Tinker-talents are not allowed to visit the Mainland by Queen Clarion, as these duties are fullfiled by nature-talent fairies. Instead, she believes them to work exclusively in her kingdom of Pixie Hollow. However in the third film, she does allows tinkers to visit the human world and Tinker Bell travels there with her friends, but ends kidnapped by a human girl named Lizzy Griffiths in a meadow near her father's cottage.
Talent Overview
Tinkers craft special tools to help the nature fairies bring the seasons to the Mainland.[1] However, they also craft objects for daily use around Pixie Hollow, such as wheels, baskets, pots, and pans. On top of inventing things, Tinkers also mend broken objects, as they are capable of using Pixie Dust as glue.[ Reference Needed. ]
Tinker fairies lives and work in Tinkers' Nook.[1] There, they are often given tasks to fulfill by Fairy Mary, who supervises all of the work that gets done.
After the events of the Tinker Bell (film), Tinkers began to frequent Palm Tree Cove searching for Lost Things[1]; they are known to use them to craft special inventions that help nature-talent fairies or those who had magical talents. Even Fairy Mary uses them.[2]
This guild's symbol is a hammer and the color is green.[1]
Talent Symbols
Upon a fairy's arrival, each talent is represented by an object for them to choose from. If a Never Fairy is born to be a Tinker-Talent, then a hammer will shine brightly once they've gotten near it. This is confirmed in Tinker Bell (film), during Tinker Bell's arrival scene. [3]
In the films, Tinker-talents are typically represented by hues of green. This can be seen through their clothes, as they wear mostly green throughout the movies. In The Pirate Fairy (film), Zarina's Tinker-Talent Dust is green as well. Another Tinker-Talent symbol is their flag featured in the Pixie Hollow Games, which is a green flag with a hammer in the center.
Sparrowmen that originate outside of the films, such as Slate, Aidan, and Angus, also wear shades of blue & brown.
