Category:Never Fairies

Never fairies are fairies that live in Never Land. They're the main characters in the Disney Fairies franchise, and they're primary residents of Pixie Hollow.

Birth of a Fairy
A Never fairy is created when a human baby laughs for the very first time. The laugh breaks into a thousand pieces and they all go skipping about, and eventually arrives at Neverland, where it becomes a fairy.

When a Never fairy is "born" it appears to be a teenager or young adult and will remain so in appearance, although its nose and lower wings will grow somewhat. New fairies appear wearing what is referred to as an Arrival Garment. All fairies cast a lemon-yellow glow, though depending on the fairy's health and mood the brightness and hue may change. An unhealthy or sickly fairy will cast a dim, greenish glow. An excited fairy will glow more brightly, and a blushing fairy will glow orange.

Some laughs arrive in Never Land incomplete, which results in an incomplete fairy - they may have a speech impediment, believe the words "mattress" and "chicken" rhyme, have missing ear tips, or only half their bodies would glow.

Appearances
The average Never fairy stands at five inches tall (12.7 cm). They weigh next to nothing. A fairy sitting in your palm feels no heavier than a handful of dandelion fluff. Every fairy's wing pattern is unique. Like snowflakes, no two are the exactly the same. Never Fairies do not feel pain in their wings. They normally glow lemon yellow edged with gold.

Fairies can appear to be of any ethnicity in both the movies and books, although they usually have button noses and slanted eyes.

In the films, however, it appears that some features and talents may be more likely to go together: for example, all ice-talent fairies shown had platinum-blond or white hair and fair skin, and many light-talent fairies had dark hair and skin.

Humans & Fairies
If the child who created the fairy stops believing in fairies, then that fairy will die unless saved by a concerted effort of belief by children, courtesy of Prilla.

In the book continuity children can see fairies but adults cannot, but adults in the movie continuity have no trouble seeing them.

When a fairy goes to the mainland, if they find the person who laughed them up, the fairy and person can both sense it. The fairy can also stay with that person forever if they want. They can become best friends, but the fairy is only allowed to show themselves to that person, and no one else.

Talents
Each fairy has a talent - that is, a skill (whether magic or mundane) that he or she is born with the ability and knowledge to perform. Never fairies use their talents to contribute to their communal society in both continuities, and in the movies, bring seasons to the Mainland.
