BACKGROUND

Self-Perception: A fun, energetic rebel who was forced to stifle that part of herself... After all, someone had to buck up and be "the responsible one."

Indisputably loyal, very caring, and knowledgeable about her line of work. Had a rough childhood and wants nothing more than to live a happy adult life of following her own heart.

Alignment: Neutral Good MBTI: ISFP Deadly Sin: Pride/Wrath Heavenly Virtue: Charity Love Language: Physical touch Reinforcers: Cosmo's flirtations, a happy bedroom life, feeling motherly, the achievement that comes from helping godkids (and her actual kids) succeed in life, the peace of relaxing after her monthly godparent reports are off her plate for a few weeks more

Personality: You might not guess it by looking at her, but at her core, Wanda is a rebel who isn't afraid to push against tradition. She eloped, cut ties with the religious beliefs she was raised with, and isn't afraid to rearrange the set-up of things or commit to large redecorating projects, even in homes that aren't her own... or even if that home is as widely known as Mt. Olympus ("Freaks and Greeks"). She'll slam down her foot and speak her mind- and that's just scratching the surface.

Wanda tends to brace herself for pushback (or worse), but underneath her defenses, she's plagued by guilt and shame that have a stronger affect on her life choices than she wants to think about. She'd like to do things right the first time and feel secure knowing that people like and trust her, but this is sometimes at odds with her desire for personal freedom.

Wanda tends to subscribe to the idea that if she's harsh with herself first, it won't hurt as much if someone else says a harsh thing. She has many regrets about her past. She could be described as "trying to play most sides" and keep the peace between people she has no reason to hold onto, like Juandissimo. In the background, she's also doing what she can to put on a happy face and keep her family connected, even when that means being cordial with Mama Cosma. As the eldest daughter, she believes it's partly her duty to keep her family connected- She's the one who reaches out, asks how people are doing, and knows her relatives by name. If it doesn't clash with her godparent work, she tries to attend important events (like weddings) or at least send gifts for notable birthdays (like turning 100 instead of 99). Wanda largely believes Blonda doesn't care about keeping their family together and that she's "just being difficult." They have very different views of how accepted they are by their family and how much they want to play into traditional Fairy expectations. -> For instance, Blonda is exclusively attracted to Anti-Fairies and faces disapproval from her family because of this. She's less willing than Wanda to "make nice with the relatives." Blonda will openly bring someone she's seeing to family dinner, which Wanda is very tense about (believing it's better not to make a fuss). -> See also, Wanda opting to elope and live her life - even writing misleading letters home to her father - rather than trying to bring Cosmo into the Fairywinkle social circle. Wanda's rebellious soul still beats, but it's been twisted by the longing to connect and be seen as a good daughter (on top of feeling obligated to take on household and childcare responsibilities, especially in godparenting).

With that sensitive (and perhaps clingy) nature in mind, perhaps it's no surprise that Wanda struggles to let go of things she enjoys. She's always looking forward to her next opportunity to write, enjoy her favorite meal, or do a craft. She's a bit of an impulse buyer (See "Mice Capades") and tends to hold onto things even if they're only useful for very specific situations.

She's more reliant on magic than she'd like to let on (Ex: Taking for granted that Fairies can poof between rooms and remarking that "Doors are for chumps" in "Truth or Cosmoquences"). In fact, taking things for granted is one thing she struggles with- For instance, believing that she and Cosmo were both on the same page about their anniversary in "Apartnership" and acting tense with Cosmo under the belief he thought they were celebrating their 'False Anger' anniversary.

She gets very wrapped in her head at times and doesn't always check how practical she's being (especially when it comes to trying to disguise herself as a human, only to immediately announce that she's 'married to a grilled cheese sandwich'- "Fairly Old Parent").

She also leans on magic for frivolous things, such as entertaining herself with a toy while juggling many responsibilities (such as Poof's care) in "Manic Mom Day," or summoning a fan to wave away a smell in "Transparents" despite Timmy having just reminded her that she needs to pretend to be human (and not use magic). While she isn't a hoarder, she's definitely a maximalist, which can likely be traced to growing up under Big Daddy's hand.

Wanda was taught by her father to trust her instincts. She’s quick to make decisions and tends to launch herself towards things that benefit her without a lot of planning, leading her to dump Juandissimo, elope with Cosmo, wipe out the dinosaurs, and grant a few impulsive wishes because “They could be fun!” without always considering the consequences in advance (like surprising Juandissimo with a break-up when he thought things were going great between them, cutting her family out of her life for 10,000 years, or the effects of eating nothing but dessert for months on end).

All that said, her instincts are mostly good. Millennia of godparenting have tempered her recklessness to unsteady responsibility, especially when it comes to motherhood (and especially when it comes to being Timmy’s godmother).

At her core, Wanda is a playful woman who marches to the beat of “What is best for me?” Her life is her own and she wants to live her best one without being pushed or pulled around too much. Da Rules and Jorgen are her master because they have to be, but in the end, Wanda is an independent woman who seeks her own happiness regardless of what an outsider may think is best for her.

She’ll boldly plunge with you into every dangerous adventure, but will also make sure you packed a good pillow for the trip and brush your teeth every night. She brought snacks.

Education: For the most part, Wanda worked hard in school and scored top marks. She went through a few rebellious phases, but Big Daddy always set her straight, reminding her of all she had to look forward to... or else.

Spellementary School: Wanda attended alone while Blonda was homeschooled, keeping up the illusion that Wanda was an only child... The perfect cover for a little thief, as far as Big Daddy was concerned. Middle School: Wanda and Blonda both attended, though Blonda was made to live in disguise as a drake by the name Walter (at her father's insistence). Rumors began to surface that Wanda and Walter might be twins. High School: Blonda finally rebelled against the Walter disguise, took the name Blonda, and dove into hyperfemininity. Wanda did her best to hang out with and support her sister while balancing her own education. They were pretty close for many years. -> Wanda began dating Juandissimo when she was in high school. Anti-Cosmo was in several of her classes (Frayed Knots) and was assigned as her partner for her first trial godkid. Shortly after, Wanda formally met Cosmo and began to grow more interested in him over time. Further Education: Fairy Academy - Wanda's attendance was interrupted by the War of the Angels, but she was able to return and graduate when the war was over. Wanda and Cosmo were assigned together for their first human trial godkid (Erg - 50,000 B.C.) and grew more familiar with one another.

History: Wanda and her twin sister, Wendy, were born into a complex family with complex rules. Their father ran a strict household and has a very messy life behind the scenes. He took advantage of having twins by dragging young Wanda into shady dealings (and keeping Wendy’s true identity hidden unless Wanda needed an alibi).

Despite their complex family situation, the girls always knew they were loved; Daddy doted on them, heard out every adolescent vent, and helped them find activities they enjoyed.

He supported Wanda's decision to pursue life as a godparent despite his own reservations that crossing paths with that many people can be unpredictable (and even dangerous). He hovered around her a bit during her early years of training, but eventually backed off, content in the belief that Wanda was capable and could take care of herself.

Wanda's mother, Serena Fairywinkle (née Wildwisp), was a quiet, patient fairy who taught her daughters good manners, a variety of domestic skills, and instilled in them traditional Fairy beliefs (though Wanda no longer follows them). It wasn’t until their teenage years that the twins discovered Serena wasn’t their birth mother at all, and they’d been born of an affair their father had with a will o’ the wisp during his honeymoon.

Serena seems to put up with this for the sake of the family, but she isn't one to wear her feelings on her sleeve. She's a tough nut to decipher.

As is typical of elder twins in Fairy society, Wanda was notably favored by her father over Wendy. He gave her everything, insisted she help him at work, and encouraged her to grow up as the girl he envisioned she would be. This was difficult on Wendy, the shadow in a society naturally suspicious of lookalikes. As a result Serena favored her to ensure she received plenty of attention too.

This was tough on Wanda, who felt she had no one to turn to as her father shaped her into his idea of a perfect woman whether or not she wanted his values for herself. Wanda and Wendy remained close throughout their youth, but their father’s blatant favoritism, Wendy’s longing for the spotlight, and Wanda’s struggle to relate with her dramatic sister finally drove them apart.

Wanda still loved and valued Wendy and even invited her to her wedding when she eloped, but their relationship remained rocky up until “Blondas Have More Fun,” when they finally began repairing it. Their relationship today is better than it’s been for a long time.

Wanda's been struggling for years with her chocolate addiction... a dangerous thing to have when you're a species that gets inebriated after consuming too much sugar ("Power Pals"). She's been lying low since her elopement, so seeking Sugarholics Anonymous groups is risky business. Cosmo is a great support to her, especially during the times they were very much on the run from their parents. Wanda's boss (Emery) and Jorgen keep a close eye on her... She's definitely not supposed to indulge too much around godkids, and her probation in "Where's Wanda?" was rough for a reason. Overall, Wanda's managed herself pretty well in modern times. She still slips now and then - holidays like the Fairy New Year and Midsummer's Eve are especially rough with the party atmosphere - but she's pretty happy with how things are, all things considered.

Notable Likes:

- Her boys - An organized household - Chocolate (Of course) - Riding in the car while Cosmo drives - Clean, warm sheets - Long baths - Massages - Babies - Time alone with Cosmo - Knitting - Embroidery - Visiting educational places, like museums and landmarks - Collecting enamel pins - Working hard so she can relax guilt-free - Learning a lot so she can always be right

Goals:

- Keep out of trouble - Keep her and Cosmo's parents out of their lives without losing Big Daddy's respect - Raise Poof and Dusty well so they'll succeed in life... and her godkids too - Write more action-filled romance novels - Keep her marriage happy and fun so every day's a new adventure

Beliefs:

- Holds no spiritual beliefs - All good things to those who work hard - Lying low is often the best way to get by - A few petty feelings never hurt anybody... It'll be fine

Fears:

- A child getting hurt on her watch (or not on her watch) - One of her boys going no-contact - Drowning - Feeling helpless - Losing Cosmo (especially due to Jorgen or Mama Cosma's interference)

Upsets:

- Feeling unable to relax - Being ignored or blown off - Comments about her weight - Disorderly spaces (Especially messes made in a brief moment rather than long-term play) - Kids talking back - Getting shown up by Anti-Wanda - Ruining her nails right after they're done - Having to admit she's wrong - Her boys indulging in things that aren't good for them, like too much TV, video games, or junk food - Godkids telling her they dislike her for being no fun and they like Cosmo more

Comforts: 

- Doing her nails - Dyeing her hair - Cozy blankets - Getting work done early - Goofing off with magic

Indulgences:

- Fancy dinners with Cosmo - Candy and soda (Especially chocolate) - Lots of pink - Writing classes - Cute clothes - Pins and stickers - Craft supplies, especially for scrapbooking - Planning vacations (which she rarely gets to take)

EXTERNAL

Verbal Notes: Many sentences begin with "Well," "Uh," or "You see." She's much more likely to say "Hi" than "Hello." Wanda tries to lightly prompt people towards making good decisions, but believes in giving others the chance to figure their social situations out for themselves before she jumps in.

Some of her common phrases are "If you must know" and "Personally, I wouldn't let that slide." She also uses "C'mon," and "Cheer up" quite a bit.

Comes across as serious and is sometimes criticized for nagging. She tends to say what she's thinking, although she may take a moment to dress it up in nicer words. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to communicate- Something that goes over all right in Fairy society, but leads Anti-Fairies to think she's incredibly rude.

Often calls godkids nicknames (Such as "sport" for Timmy and "squirt" for Hazel). Other favorites are "slugger," "scooter," "spike," "skipper," "scamp," "superstar," "turbo," "pumpkin," "peanut," "champ," "ace," "bucko," "buster," "tiger," "turkey," and "rascal."

She usually finds one that sticks for a person. They're mostly reserved for godkids, though she uses them for people in her social group on occasion. "Sweetie" is one many of her godkids hear and "Junior" is a special one for kids named after a relative.

After getting to know Anti-Cosmo in Frayed Knots, she starts calling him "scout."

More likely to swear than Cosmo, though she avoids doing so unless she’s extremely overwhelmed.

Language: Speaks both Snobbish and Lialia fluently (and Elrulian mostly fluently). Knows a bit of ceremonial Gaedeliac, but wouldn't be able to hold a conversation.

Physical Notes: Has thinner hips than Cosmo and some very notable stretch marks around her pouch (Nursing marks).

Handedness: Mostly ambidextrous; favors left hand Body Language: Usually relaxed and ready to engage in learning and play, but with an underlying wariness about her. She often turns her wand sideways and curls in on herself when uncertain or trying to appeal to someone's better nature; she isn't quite as big and loud with her body as Cosmo is with his arms. Wanda commonly sets her hands on her hips or tucks them behind her back. Hair: Naturally mousy brown; dyed fuchsia since she was young. I draw Wanda with a small "W" tuft. Teeth: If you looked at them closely, you'd be able to tell hers are sharper than a human's and designed for eating meat. Wings: Common fairy wings mirror the globe skimmer dragonfly, granting their subspecies the unique ability to fly backwards. In line with common fairy marital tradition, Wanda has three subtle commitment notches in his wings, mirroring the three punctures in each of Anti-Wanda's wings. Make-Up Products: She dyes her hair Fabulous Fusciafest #7, and her favorite fragrance is called Wing It (See also, “77 Secrets of ‘The Fairly OddParents’”). Scars: Small, random ones from a few injuries - especially during the war - but nothing incredibly interesting. Has a subtle bird mark on her neck that reflects a magical symbol Anti-Wanda has (from being the mortal host of the Sky spirit, Munn). Tattoos: Small pink heart behind her left shoulder (Just above the place her wing connects). It mirrors a yellow one that Blonda has. They got these tats when they were teens. Wanda's considered removing hers a few times when she and Blonda fight, but she always ends up leaving it, unwilling to part with that memory of her sister.

Style: Neat, nice, but pretty simplistic. Likes going all-out to dress up for special occasions - like fancy dinners - but usually wears comfy clothes. Loves wearing yellow.

Regular Clothing: A yellow shirt and slacks. Sometimes the shirt is fancy and ruffled, other times its simple. Tries to avoid skirts on the job due to hovering above godchildren. Casual Clothing: May throw on a comfier shirt or even a hoodie, usually in yellow, brown, or black. Nightwear: Cozy pajamas, but sometimes a bathrobe. Other: Likes bikinis and ruffled things for swimwear. Sometimes wears cover-ups and shawls too. Often wears gloves if an outfit allows it... Possibly a habit from her childhood thief days.

Height: 3′5″ (Average for a fae)

Hygiene: Very good- Wanda prides herself in research and can get pretty absorbed in reading up on skincare, teeth care, hair care, and so on. She takes care of her looks and health.

Morning Schedule: Usually sleeps a little later than Cosmo. Sometimes he makes breakfast - Usually bacon, if left to his own devices, or sometimes cereal - and looks after Poof. Wanda helps him once she gets up, then joins him in waiting for their godkid.

If their godkid is up early, Wanda will try to eat healthy snacks like fruit and granola throughout the day (and offer them to Cosmo too)

Typical Day Schedule: Accompany her godkid, trying to grant wishes, teach life lessons, and keep Cosmo out of trouble all in one.

Evening Schedule: Hang around godkid until curfew, then finish paperwork. Every month, godparents turn in reports on a child's happiness level, social experiences, wishes, and similar things.

Once she's done with paperwork, she can take a nice bath and then relax with Cosmo (Who's usually reading or coloring by then). They often snuggle, but usually sleep in separate beds.

Being members of the common fairy subspecies, Cosmo and Wanda come into heat for 18 months every 500 years. They're more flirty and sexual during that time, but more cuddly and less sexual when outside their heat. -> See the Fairy Architecture post for info on the yidreamu- A special room in a Fairy house for mating, which is a big deal in Fairy culture (Given the long history of damsels dying afterwards)

Sleep Schedule: A bit of a light sleeper. Prefers wearing a blindfold to help her fall asleep early and stay asleep later; sometimes uses face masks for skincare.

Cosmo is a restless sleeper, so he and Wanda benefit from separate beds. Wanda can be a bit snippy when she's tired, not wanting him to crawl into bed when she needs her rest for another long day of wielding the forces of the universe and cleaning others' messes, but sometimes she'll let him crawl under the blankets with her.

PERSONAL

Wanda’s Family Tree: HERE

Relationship Status:

- Committed to Cosmo as of the Winter of the Muddy Topsoil - Wedding Anniversary: The second Sunday of March each year

Ideal Relationship: Someone who can make her feel pampered and cared for after a long day of hard work... Someone who respects her need for personal space, but also likes to be around her.

Wanda doesn't enjoy doing mental gymnastics to "keep up" and doesn't like "keeping score." Her preference for being in control pairs well with Cosmo's desire for a partner who always has his back and can keep the world turning when he's in a slump.

Sexuality: Romantically and sexually attracted to Fairies... Might have a thing for youthful looks and muscles, but that's between her and us.

Attractiveness: Wanda is considered a well-rounded individual who meets high standards of attractiveness in both Fairy and Anti-Fairy societies. She appears to have the raw strength that Fairies value - and knows how to wield it.

Wanda's magic is actually stunted, but she uses a booster wand that covers for her natural weakness.

She's just book-smart enough to catch an Anti-Fairy's admiration without falling so much into the book-obsessed stereotype that it's a turn-off to most Fairies (who tend to value brawn over brains).

That said, Wanda is often perceived as more bookish than Blonda. Also, subtle differences in the way they wield magic play a role in Blonda seeming to be the "more attractive twin" in Fairy culture, despite the two having similar interests and magical prowess.

Intimate History: Dated Juandissimo for many millennia and cared for him deeply. Went as far as sharing a Year of Promise with him... a very big deal in Fairy culture.

Despite this essentially being an engagement period with a wedding expected shortly after, Wanda realized she couldn't deny her feelings for Cosmo any longer, and that she might actually be happier with him and the promise of adventure than in marrying the "safe option." Juandissimo didn't see it coming and Wanda does regret how long it took to split... which may be why she lets him hang around.

Wanda's parents always preferred Juandissimo, seeing him as a boy with a good head on his shoulders, but Wanda didn't let their approval stop her. She's been faithful to Cosmo ever since.

Turn-Ons: Wanda can be a little oblivious to flirting, but she does well when it's undeniably direct. She enjoys Cosmo's nicknames for her and a lot of his verbal flirting more than touch. She likes cuddles, but especially loves the build-up... like when Cosmo leans on her, whispers in her ear, or runs his fingers through her hair.

She also enjoys some of his drawn-out flirtation games (like leaving her cute notes) or when he pretends the way he brings her bath snacks or leads her towards their room is completely innocent. She can be won over by date nights full of dancing, emotional talks, and seductive whispers. The set-up really gets her smiling.

While Cosmo's known for his powerful magic, Wanda admires him with or without it... but it certainly doesn't hurt~

Grandfather: Riot Wildwisp Grandmother: Grace Wildwisp - Appeared in Prompt #32 - "Looking Back" as the teacher for the kids one zodiac cycle older than Poof. - Both Poof and Foop call her Nonna and consider her a grandmother (Despite Foop being a separate species). Foop doesn't have the Anti-Serena in his life.

Mother (Biological): Kylia Swiftspark

Grandfather: Unknown Grandmother: Unknown Aunt: Kaitlin Swiftspark Cousin: Kanin Caden Swiftspark Notable Ancestors: Ilisa Maddington (The first will o’ the wisp) - Kylia was a one-night stand and is absent from the lives of the Fairywinkles. None have a relationship with her.

The Musical") Sons: Poof Cosma, Dusty Cosma Brother-In-Law: Robin "Schnozmo" Cosma Jr. - Cosmo and Wanda occasionally looked after Westley Periwinkle while he was growing up (Mostly when Blonda dumped him on them)

Ex-Boyfriend: Juandissimo Luis Magnifico

- Still on good terms. He gets invited to parties, but Wanda avoids meeting with him alone. - Has a not-so-secret crush on him even now ("77 Secrets of the Fairly OddParents (Revealed)")

Celebrity Crushes: No one she'll admit to

Current Love Interest: Cosmo (Her dear devoted)

Other Important Relationships:

Anti-Wanda - Rarely cross paths. Wanda has a lot of deep-seeded jealousy about the "freedom to live life without parental expectations" that she perceives Anti-Wanda as having. She overlooks a lot of Anti-Wanda's hardships (like being abandoned as a kid) and is easily frustrated when talking to her. Anti-Wanda has a way of getting under her skin. Wanda gets annoyed if you compare her country singing voice to her counterpart's.

Anti-Cosmo - Thinks he's a braggart with few morals; not his biggest fan. Wanda was assigned as Anti-Cosmo's partner during their early godparent days, as they both were in the study abroad trial program at the same time. They got through it okay, but not without tension. She also wasn't happy with him dating Blonda (and certainly doesn't like the ways he's messed with Cosmo's life since then).

Foop & Smoky - Wanda severely mistrusts and dislikes Foop, feeling that she's given him several chances and he needs to shape up. Smoky's smart mouth gets on her nerves. She has zero qualms about feeding them treats that put curses on them ("Fairly Odd Fairy Tales"). However, she sees them as nephews and allows them to call her Auntie Wanda.

In her mind, they're part of her extended family and she can't get rid of them, so she tolerates them as best she can. She's babysat a few times, but never enjoys it (and can be quite harsh in disciplining them, which is honestly justified). She likes Smoky's piano playing and taught him the basics of guitar. She puts up with Foop's tinkering, but tries to nerf his inventions.

Jorgen - A high-up she has to respect. Wanda doesn't like how rough he can be (or how he's treated Cosmo in the past), but deep down, he doesn't scare her. Jorgen's pushy and needy, but he'd never really hurt Big Daddy's daughter, and they both know it.

Emery - Head of the human godparenting division. Wanda suspects Emery has a grudge against her specifically (seeing as Emery is H.P.'s sister and the Fairywinkles have never gotten along well with their family). Wanda is very dutiful in completing her paperwork, determined to do everything on her end perfectly so Emery has no choice but to grudgingly admit she's good at her job. Take that!

-> In City Lights AU, Wanda suspects Emery assigned Peri a difficult first godkid on purpose just to see him fail.

Timmy - Her long-term godkid! Wanda does think Timmy can be spoiled from time to time, but she knows he has a heart of gold and that his mind is usually in the right place. She's proud of who he turned out to be.

Chloe - Wanda did her best to be a caring mother figure to Chloe, trying to treat her as a job without getting as caught up in her as she got with Timmy during the 50 years of frozen time. Chloe is a lot of energy and Wanda kept a bit more distance than Cosmo (Ex: "The Fair Bears"). Cosmo connected with Chloe more than Wanda did, despite her genuine efforts. Funnily enough, she and Poof are similar that way.

Crŏ̸̧̝̓̓̉͝͝ckę̶̜̯̊͌̀̀͛̓r - ... It's difficult. It's a shame things turned out the way they did. She doesn't remember him clearly, what with her memories scrambled by forget-a-cin, but she remembers enough to feel regret.

According to Crocker in "Looking Back," Wanda avoids eye contact even when she's a decorative item on Timmy's desk or bag... I feel like there's a missing piece to this story, but I can't put my finger on it.

TRIVIA

- Fought the Anti-Fairies in the war over godkids ("Balance of Flour"). - Her seasonal color palette is winter ("Apartnership"). - She's the reason dinosaurs went extinct ("The Really Bad Day!") - Raised in a wealthy family, so she didn't worry about poofing from room to room (compared to someone like Cosmo who grew up using doors and public transportation to save money). - Her phone (wand?) number is 555-8180 ("Dog Day Afternoon"). - Has two Zappy awards ("The Zappys" & "Blondas Have More Fun") - Didn't really keep in contact with people from her high school graduating class after leaving school (Seeing as Cosmo convinced their class he and Wanda weren't married in "Truth or Cosmoquences"). - Absolutely terrible driver ("Transparents"). She and Cosmo rarely drive these days, but he's always the one who does. She doesn't even have a driver's license (despite Poof getting one as soon as he was able to). - Despite eloping, she faithfully wrote letters home to her dad - occasionally visiting without Cosmo in tow - but often embellishes her life ("Talkin' Trash"). - Considers herself familiar with human culture and thinks she's excellent at blending in with humans. She is not. - Loves pins. Her schoolbag (Seen occasionally in Frayed Knots) is covered in pins, especially ones for Fairy World landmarks. - Went through a rebellious semi-goth, semi-punk teen phase. Learned to embroider and added many patches to her favorite jackets. - She and Cosmo both like warm vacations, but Wanda has a soft spot for snow too. It's a little too cold and wet for Cosmo long-term, but he has a good attitude around godkids. She likes building forts and castles. - She's trained in self-defense (Physically too, not just magically - "Playdate of Doom"). Big Daddy wasn't about to let his daughters leave home without protecting themselves. - Skilled with a bow and arrow ("Odd, Odd West"). - Thinks she's attractive with a beard ("The Fair Bears"). - Not a big fan of camping ("Girly Scouts" & "Goldie-Crocks and the Three Bears"). - Will sometimes follow Cosmo's suggestions without even questioning them ("Girly Scouts" and "Patty Possum's Party Playground"). - Wanda nursed both Poof and Dusty (both milk from her breasts and liquid magic from her pouch). Cosmo also pouchfed his magic on occasion, but Wanda often volunteered so he could recover after giving birth and so she could bond with her little sons. She was often exhausted, but grateful for the opportunity. - She's a very talented speller ("77 Secrets of the Fairly OddParents (Revealed)"). - Skilled wandminton player ("77 Secrets"). - She can play the guitar and banjo ("77 Secrets"). - She's a country singer and has recorded an album called Big Daddy's Daughter. One of her songs is "Mommas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Pixies" ("77 Secrets"). - In Cloudlands AU lore, Poof has the same patron dragonfly as Wanda (Not Cosmo). Considering he also has Fairywinkle pheromones, there's no denying those genes are strong. - Though Timmy and Chloe lost their memories, she and Cosmo check up on them the one day each year they're allowed to: every Midsummer's Eve (June 23rd, give or take). They keep tabs on a couple other godkids too, but Timmy isn't easy to forget.

Wanda's arc in the 130 Prompts can be found in the Pink Train series on AO3. Beyond that, she appears in several multi-chapters such as Frayed Knots and Devil's Backbone, along with shorter stories like "See That Dust Fly" and "Bells on Bats' Tails."

Wanda makes most of her Frayed Knots appearances in Act 3, where she's seen dating Juandissimo throughout her teens. She does a trial godparent run alongside Anti-Cosmo and cameos during the war with the Anti-Fairies. She's also a notable character in Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Pixies, supporting Poof as best she can.

Bio: Cosmo entered the Cosma family at a difficult time. His father’s addiction to gambling and unfortunate early death left them deep in debt to Big Daddy Fairywinkle, his restless brother Robin was starting to get into trouble, and his mother fought every day to hold them together as a happy family.

Cosmo was born with a mutation that left his magic unstable, and actually leaves him unable to channel magic at all if he doesn’t regularly drink the hormones present in Fairy nursing milk. He keeps a baby bottle-shaped thermos on hand at almost all times just in case he needs a recharge. Though not the first to show the mutation, he quickly became the most recognized when he caused chaos and destruction throughout Fairy World as a child.

He accidentally caused the death of his father, the fairy queen, and a large portion of the population during his Terrible Twos... something he’s never really forgiven himself for.

Cosmo was an avid reader in his younger years before Fairy World’s (and his mother’s) extreme preference for brawn over brains made him feel stupider and stupider until finally he gave the hobby up. His lack of physical strength got him bullied frequently as a child, so his mother pushed him to train at the Fairy Academy.

He’s never been the brightest, but because he’s always been fascinated with stars, politics, and energy sources, he can tell you a lot about all three (in his meandering Cosmo-ish way). He met Wanda during their adolescence, sold his car to pay for her medical bills after accidentally running her over, and has been smitten with his sweet little wildflower ever since.

Of course, even Cosmo has his secrets. Though extremely self-conscious any time he’s caught reading (even by Wanda), he still spends his free time writing. He’s published multiple books about complicated aspects of the magical world (such as gravity manipulation, fairy biology, and the Big Wand) translated into layman’s terms, in addition to several children’s books. Picture books for kids are his personal favorite.

He’s dabbled in political criticism and has played a more influential role in that field than he wants to believe. Since hints of his political alignments are sprinkled across his works, many are shunned from schools. His picture book How the Honeybees Say Goodnight is completely banned almost everywhere in Fairy World, while Pixies and Anti-Fairies adore it.

Cosmo sees his books as innocent and finds Fairies’ reactions very confusing (they only contribute to the negative way he sees himself and his mind). He struggles with more self-deprecating thoughts than he likes to let on.

All good things must come to an end, especially when Cosmo is involved. When revolts broke out in Fairy World (after the War of the Angels) and stuck-up, eggheaded know-it-alls were under fire, Cosmo panicked. He immediately destroyed most of his writing and changed his focus in school from Astrophysics to Godparenting.

He’s been cowering on the outskirts of Fairy World in self-inflicted exile ever since, lying low in Wanda’s shadow and maybe, maybe playing a little dumber than he really is. Just a little, of course. I wouldn’t suggest asking him about those books... or too much else about his past.

Bio: Wanda and her twin sister, Wendy, were born into a complex family with complex rules. Their father ran a strict household and took advantage of having twins by dragging young Wanda into shady dealings and keeping Wendy’s true identity hidden unless Wanda needed an alibi.

Despite their complex family situation, the girls always knew they were loved. Their mother, Serena Fairywinkle (née Wildwisp), was a quiet, patient fairy who taught her daughters good manners, a variety of domestic skills, and instilled in them traditional Fairy beliefs (though Wanda is no longer religious). It wasn’t until their teenage years that the twins discovered Serena wasn’t their birth mother at all, and they’d been born of an affair their father had with a will o’ the wisp during his honeymoon.

As is typical of elder twins in Fairy society, Wanda was notably favored by her father over Wendy. He gave her everything, insisted she help him at work, and encouraged her to grow up as the girl he envisioned she would be. This was difficult on Wendy, and as a result Serena favored her to ensure she received plenty of attention too.

This was hard on Wanda, who felt she had no one to turn to as her father shaped her into his idea of a perfect woman whether or not she wanted his values for herself. Wanda and Wendy remained close throughout their youth, but their father’s blatant favoritism, Wendy’s longing for the spotlight, and Wanda’s struggle to relate with her dramatic sister finally drove them apart. Wanda still loved and valued Wendy and even invited her to her wedding when she eloped, but their relationship remained rocky up until “Blondas Have More Fun,” when they finally began repairing it. Their relationship today is better than it’s been for a long time.

Wanda has always been playful and was taught by her father to trust her instincts. She’s quick to make decisions and tends to launch herself towards things that benefit her without a lot of planning, leading her to dump Juandissimo, elope with Cosmo, wipe out the dinosaurs, and grant a few impulsive wishes because “They could be fun!” without always considering the consequences in advance (like surprising Juandissimo with a break-up when he thought things were going great between them, cutting her family out of her life for 10,000 years, or the effects of eating nothing but dessert for months).

But if she’s trusting her instincts, at least her instincts are mostly good. Millennia of godparenting have tempered her recklessness to unsteady responsibility, especially when it comes to motherhood (and especially when it comes to being Timmy’s godmother).

At her core, Wanda is a playful woman who marches to the beat of “What is best for me?” Her life is her own and she wants to live her best one without being pushed or pulled around too much. Da Rules and Jorgen are her master because they have to be, but in the end, Wanda is an independent woman who seeks her own happiness regardless of what an outsider may think is best for her.

She’ll boldly plunge with you into every dangerous adventure, but will also make sure you packed a good pillow for the trip and brush your teeth every night. She brought snacks.
