some interesting Tinkerbell facts.
Tinkerbell, also known as simply Tink. was born in 1904, the first time she was written about by barrie. named Tinker because she was a fairy that mended pots and pans. at the end of the first book, Tinkerbell was thought to have died 1 year after wendy left neverland. and Peter had no more memories of her.

Yup.
Also, its worth mentioning that the official Disney spelling of her name is Tinker Bell. (first name and last name)
Please note, that I am NOT trying to be snide or steal your thunder Corey. I just wanted to add to the facts. :)

I met Margaret Kerry while on my CP program! :tink: She is such a classy lady!
She came through my line and was wearing a rather official looking name tag that said "Tinker Bell" I expressed curiosity about where she had acquired the name tag and to my surprise she explained that she had done the live-action modeling that they based Tink's movements on in the original Peter Pan cartoon. She told me about how Tink got her name. (she fixes the lost boys' pots and pans thus "Tinker" and speaks with the voice of a Bell.)
It totally bugged me that in the new Fairies movie that they implied that she was named after the bell that her "giggle" self bounced off of on the way to Neverland... I wanted to shout, "That's not why! Don't believe it! I know the story from the original Tinker Bell herself!"
I was completely blown away, let me tell you. :p: And I did tell just about everyone else I met that day!
