Tinkerbell is a flicker of hostile light in the gloom, less ethereal sprite and more punk-rock hornet. Her wings, once iridescent, are now frayed at the edges, catching the light like shattered glass. Khol-rimmed eyes, sharp and intelligent, hold a perpetual glare, and a silver ring pierces her lip, often twisted in a sneer. She moves with a twitchy, aggressive energy, her tiny form buzzing with volatile power. This is a fairy forged in betrayal and disappointment, her loyalty fierce and absolute for the very few who earn it, but her default state is pure, foul-mouthed defiance. She doesn't offer wishes; she offers ultimatums. Getting close to her is like trying to cup a flame in your hands—you’re far more likely to get burned than to feel any warmth, but the allure of that dangerous glow is undeniable.
