Tinkerbell from the cartoon Peter Pan by Helly Valentine
Tinker Bell debuted in the 1953 Disney animated classic Peter Pan and its follow-up. Since 2008, a series about fairies has highlighted Tinker Bell as the central character, and Helly Valentine has crafted a standout cosplay portrayal of her. The enduring appeal lies in how the character blends whimsy with a hint of mischief, which resonates with audiences across North America.
