So I was gonna wait to do the Backstory for the Blue Fairy till Wish came out, since its supposed to be the origin of the Wishing Star and she's so connected to it, but from what I read it's not really going to feature any real references to the Blue Fairy, so I'll just retcon stuff in if I need to when it comes out x)
The Blue Fairy Backstory
Her real name is Evangeline (of course)
She was the daughter of a powerful fairy named Meissa, who was assigned by the Fairy Queen to be a member of the Protectors,the guardians of magic in the Everrealm, who tasked her with guarding the portal between Our World and the Everrealm that manifested as the Wishing Star/Second Star to the Right, and when her time came Evangeline took up the guardianship
Over the ages places where the two realms touch have become rarer and rarer and need guardians over them, such as the Fifth Spirit over the portal near Arendelle and Queen Pari Banu of the Genies over the Seven Deserts
Neverland also sits right below this star portal and so falls under the watch of this guardian. This is the reason that Neverland's Blue Pixie Dust is so powerful, its linked into the magical energy of the great Blue Fairy who watches over the Island
Besides her guardianship Evangeline will sometimes take on the duties of normal fairy godmothers, in both realms, bringing blessings and judgments to those deserving of them, in both the Everrealm and Our World, though her duties as Guardian keep her from always intervening directly as much as she used to, such in the case of Pinocchio
Mostly she grants wishes from afar, to those who's pure hearts long most and wish deepest, sometimes even sending down one of the Starlings (star shaped denizens of the star she inhabits) to help fulfill the wish (there, there's the Wish link x)
I based Meissa's look on The Fairy With Torquoise Hair from the original Pinocchio book and on old concept art for the Blue Fairy
So yeah! There's her backstory! Hope you like it :)
About the pixie hollow books and general lore, I was thinking about leaf clothes and like even if you have a fresh bendy leaf it’s still gonna get crunchy and fall apart after a little bit so you could think oh maybe they just have a rotation of clothes but NO my new headcannon is that just as fairies never really age, pixie dust has a time-warping effect that holds things in stasis
And the fairies don’t necessarily know about what it does to their youth but rather their intentions with this time dust are to create beautiful things, like garments out of plants that will never lose their sheen or flexibility or anything
Or maybe it even it affects the minds of storytelling talents where they can keep the details in their minds for a lot longer than the average fairy
Hm. I like wondering about the uses for pixie dust beyond flight and light in the pixie hollow universe I think
I’ve always thought the concept of the lullaby was really beautiful, just a short, soothing song to make you feel better. I wrote Pixie Dust with this energy as a sort of adult or mental health lullaby? I hope it helps you as it helps me.
