This article features an extensive cast of characters from the Nickelodeon animated media franchise The Fairly OddParents, created by Butch Hartman.
Notes:
Timothy "Timmy" Tiberius Turner (voiced by Mary Kay Bergman in the original Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts, Tara Strong in the television series and A Fairly Odd Summer and portrayed by Drake Bell in the live-action films and Alec Baldwin in the "Channel Chasers" television series and played by Caleb Pierce in The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder) is a 10-year-old boy who was given fairy godparents to grant his every wish as a result of his neglectful parents and abuse from Vicky. He also has a comically large malocclusion, which is usually mocked it is strongly implied that his Pappy gave him this by leaving his pacifier in his mouth for too long. His wishes often have unpredictable and problematic side effects, and are often reverted upon Timmy's request by the end of the episode. His interests include comic books, video games, cartoons, and sports. During a time travel trip, Timmy accidentally arrives the day his parents moved into their house; unseen, he learns that they were expecting a girl, hence his pink hat.
Timmy is not cast in the sequel series A New Wish, yet it is revealed that Cosmo and Wanda remained as Timmy’s fairy godparents until he turned 17 years old.[1]
Hartman originally wanted to give him the last name Taylor, but that was close to Tim Allen's character name Tim Taylor in Home Improvement.[2] Hartman has also stated that Timmy is his alter ego: "He's a wise guy. He's sarcastic. He's quick-tempered... He loves comic books. He loves video games. ... He's pretty much my alter ego, except I didn't have fairy godparents."[3][4][5]
Cosmo and Wanda are fairy godparents assigned to grant Timmy's, and later Chloe's, wishes. They later became Hazel's godparents in the CG sequel A New Wish.[1] They were previously the godparents of Denzel Crocker, Billy Gates, Tina Turner, and other historical and modern day figures; such as Benjamin Franklin. To avoid being seen by humans other than Timmy, they often disguise themselves as other humans, animals or inanimate objects.
Cosmo Julius Fairywinkle-Cosma (voiced by Daran Norris in the original Oh Yeah! Cartoons, the main TV series and related media, including the 2022 live-action revival/reboot series Fairly Odder and 2024 CG sequel series A New Wish, portrayed by Jason Alexander in A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner) is Wanda's husband, Poof's father, and Timmy and Chloe's godfather. He is known for his dim-witted personality and has been responsible for inadvertently causing disasters since he was born. As explained in "Fairly Oddbaby", Cosmo's ability for destruction is such that when he was born, all fairies were henceforth no longer allowed to have children out of the fear that another potential fairy baby would be as bad as or worse than Cosmo. Although he is very laid back and dim, Cosmo is prone to fits of jealousy and becomes defensive when he sees others flirting with Wanda. He was the youngest fairy until Poof was born and, though he was considered an only child in earlier episodes, has a brother named Schnozmo that debuts later. His mother, Mama Cosma, is overprotective of Cosmo and thus despises Wanda. He has shown to love pudding and a nickel named Philipp.[6][7]
Wanda Venus Fairywinkle-Cosma (voiced by Susanne Blakeslee in the original Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts, the main TV series and related media, including the 2022 live-action revival/reboot series Fairly Odder and 2024 CG sequel series A New Wish, portrayed by Cheryl Hines in A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner) is Cosmo's wife, Poof's mother, and Timmy and Chloe's godmother. She is depicted as being smart and caring. Unlike Cosmo, she tries to prevent Timmy from wishing for things which can be disastrous, though her attempts often fail. However, she is responsible for the extinction of dinosaurs, 65 million years ago. She has a sister, who is a popular actress, named Blonda whom she fights with a lot, as Wanda believes her sister's life as a Soap Star is easier than hers as a housewife. Wanda also has a father named Big Daddy, who also despised Cosmo similar to how Mama Cosma dislikes Wanda but to a much lesser extent. Wanda has an obsession with chocolate, and it is one of the only things that can distract her from her top priorities.
Wanda's design, especially the hair swirl, is based on Wilma from The Flintstones. In the original pitch for the show she was named Venus and had blue hair.[2][6][7]
Vicky (voiced by Grey DeLisle-Griffin in the original Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts, the main television series and related media and portrayed by Devon Weigel and Mary Kate Wiles in The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder) is Timmy's abusive, selfish, greedy, sadistic, conniving, malicious, and tyrannical 16-year-old babysitter, and one of the main antagonists in the series. She has but a few friends and enjoys torturing children, watching television and making the world miserable, especially for Timmy, who she often teases and insults. She lives with her mother, her father, and her younger sister Tootie. She has encountered Cosmo and Wanda on numerous occasions, but does not believe in them.
Also, she has encountered Mark Chang in his natural form, which she dismisses in early seasons as a Halloween costume, but recognizes as his true form during Season 6. A plot point in the episode "Frenemy Mine" involved her belonging to a dark society known as B.R.A.T. (Babysitters Raging Against Twerps). She has been shown to be accepting of her own cruelty, and that the only reason she is, is that she was mistreated as a child by her own babysitter.
Vicky also appears as a recurring antagonist in The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder, where she is now a teacher at Dimmsdale Junior High.[8] In The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, she appears as a one time antagonist in the episode Operation Birthday Takeback, now working as a birthday party entertainer.
Mr. Denzel Quincy Crocker, usually called Mr. Crocker (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui in the main television series and related media and portrayed by David Lewis), is a grayish-skinned, hunchbacked man and Timmy's fairy-obsessed teacher, and one of the main antagonists in the series. He correctly suspects that Timmy has fairy godparents of his own, and he is often able to tell what Timmy has wished for by the smallest, most irrelevant clues. His unshakable belief in fairy godparents leads to other adults perceiving him as mentally ill. A running gag has him spasm uncontrollably whenever he shouts, "Fairy godparents!"
Crocker has been shown to go to great extents to prove his theory that Timmy has fairy godparents, sinking vast quantities of money into expensive equipment and conducting elaborate experiments. He is also willing to do highly dangerous and immoral things to confirm the belief. For example, in his debut episode, "Transparents!", he attempts to test whether Cosmo and Wanda are fairies by trying to get them to sit in an electric chair. He states that, "If they survive, they're fairies!" but "If they don't, I have tenure!"
Surprisingly, Crocker is the previous godchild of Cosmo and Wanda. Though he lost them and the memories of their time with him, his belief in fairies remains. Timmy tries to alter this event via time travel in "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker!", but he paradoxically fails and becomes the reason Crocker lost Cosmo and Wanda and made him remember his belief in fairies.
Although being a middle-aged man, he still lives with his mother, Dolores Crocker. His father has never been seen or mentioned in the series.
In an ironic twist, Crocker served for many decades as the main power source for fairy magic; his belief is so strong that it was used to power the Big Wand, the source of all the magic in Fairy World. In the episode, "Crocker Shocker", this leads to the Big Wand losing all its power after he is hypnotized into believing fairies do not exist. To remedy this, Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda, Poof, and Jorgen make it so that everyone as equally crazy about fairies as Crocker is used as a source of power for the Big Wand.
Crocker is based on Walter Kornbluth from the 1984 film Splash. He was also designed to be in another cartoon that Hartman was pitching, but was placed in the show as the latter needed more villains.[2][9] Crocker returns in The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder, reprised in both animation and live-action. In The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish episode "Crock to the Future", Crocker returned with his hair mostly thinned out and is now a janitor at the Dimmadelphia Galax Institute, but still has his crazy evil obsession ways with capturing fairies, Alazraqui reprised his role from the two previous series of the franchise.
Poof "Peri" Fairywinkle-Cosma (vocalizations are done by Tara Strong in the main television series and related media and speaking voice is done by Randy Jackson in A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner and Eric Bauza in The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish) is Cosmo and Wanda's son, introduced into the series in the 2008 special Fairly OddBaby. He was the first fairy baby born in over ten thousand years, with his own father being the second to last. His magical abilities are controlled by his emotions and channeled through his magic rattle.
In "Fairy Old Parent", Poof is assigned to his very first person as a fairy godparent as his own, for miserable old people; such as Mrs. Crocker. He grants her wishes but became overworked and exhausted, returning to Cosmo and Wanda.
In the Season 10 episode "Certifiable Super Sitter", Poof returned from Spellementary Boarding School for spring break. His voice has gotten deeper and more comical as part of his formal training to be a great fairy. Chloe goes completely crazy over him, as she loves babies. Due to avoiding difficulty by not having plots with too many main characters in each episode, Poof only appeared in one episode of Season 10.
Poof was originally going to be named Dusty.[2]
In The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, he tells Dev Dimmadome that he goes by the name "Peri" now. As an adult, Peri seems to have a smooth, cool, confident, showy, and charismatic personality. Peri first appears at the end of the episode "Lost and Founder's Day", telling Dev Dimmadome that he got chosen to be his new fairy godchild.[10]
The name change was made because "Poof" is a slur in many countries.[11]
His older version is seen with periwinkle hair, which matches his new name, and looks similar to Cosmo and Wanda's hairstyle with it being a shaggier version of Wanda's signature hair swirl. He now wears suspenders and has a new wand that doubles as a cane and includes a cover over its star-shaped head that makes it somewhat resemble his old rattle.
Sparky (voiced by Maddie Taylor in the main television series and related media) is Timmy's talking fairy dog, who was a character in Season 9, but was dropped from the show before Season 10 due to negative reception. Sparky is a talking, anthropomorphic dog with yellow fur, a wand for a tail, a dark blue nose, and fairy wings. He wears a fairy crown and a blue collar. Sparky's magic tail doesn't work when he is wet. He has magic fleas that will turn people into dogs if bitten. He is highly allergic to pasta, and is capable of performing human acts, such as driving. Unlike Timmy's fairy godparents, it is okay for other people to know about Sparky, but they cannot know that he can talk.[lower-alpha 1][9]
Chloe Carmichael (voiced by Kari Wahlgren in the main television series and related media) is Timmy's neighbor who debuted in the Season 10 premiere episode, "The Big Fairy Share Scare", which is the final season of the original series.[12] Due to there not being enough fairies available for kids, overwhelming demand and fairies taking on better paying jobs in the fancy candle industry, she and Timmy are forced to share Cosmo and Wanda. Although in the beginning they do not get along, they end up becoming best friends. Chloe is seen by Timmy as an annoying, goody goody, and boastful, little girl and she has the tendency to cause chaos with her wishes.[13]
Hazel Wells (voiced by Ashleigh Crystal Hairston) is the protagonist of The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, a spunky 10-year old African American girl with unique interests whose family just moved to Dimmadelphia so her dad could start a new job. She ends up crossing paths with Cosmo and Wanda, who come out of retirement to be her godparents.[1] Hazel is described as fun, curious and highly imaginative, because of her parents' jobs and lifestyles, she is intellectual and overthinks things. At the start of the series, she is very shy and introvertive due to her family's moving and her older brother's leaving for college, which is the reason Cosmo and Wanda decide to become her fairy godparents, and as the series goes on, Hazel comes out of her shell. Hazel's interests include rocks, french fries, scary movies and the manga "Prime Meridian", which focuses on a half-man, half-fish character named "Kennueth of the Meridian".
Francis (voiced by Faith Abrahams)[9] is a gray-skinned school bully dressed in ragged clothes and another of Timmy's enemies, who enjoys pummeling him and his friends. He is not present in seasons 8-10.
The Anti-Fairies, as their name suggests, are the evil opposite of fairies. The anti-fairies are responsible for all the bad luck on earth and, according to Cosmo, Friday the 13th is their "Christmas". Each fairy has an anti-fairy counterpart, who is their opposite in both personality and morality.
Anti-Cosmo (Daran Norris) is portrayed as a cynical, evil, sadistic, and intelligent anti-fairy with a British accent, and is hinted to be the leader of the Anti-Fairies, while Anti-Wanda (Susanne Blakeslee), is portrayed as a dumb, hillbilly fairy who eats with her feet.
The Anti-Fairies reside in Anti-Fairy World, an enclosed environment within Fairy World, first shown as a chamber with a gate guarded by Jorgen. After Timmy accidentally set them free on Earth, Anti-Fairy World was turned into a prison-styled containment facility, where residents live in cells and wear suits preventing them from using magic. The high levels of security were still deemed penetrable, due in part to a specific group effort to get Anti-Cosmo out of Anti-Fairy World to be used as a donor for an operation. The Anti-Fairies serve as the main villains of The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 2: When Nerds Collide, Fairly OddBaby, and Fairy Oddlympics. They are fairly important villains early in the series, but have made few appearances after Poof is introduced.
Anti Sparky is the evil version of Sparky who appeared in the episode "Man's Worst Friend". Unlike Sparky who is stupid yet very loyal and friendly, Anti Sparky is smart and takes advice from nobody.
Foop (voiced by Eric Bauza, portrayed by Scott Baio in A Fairly Odd Summer), now known as Irep, is the evil counterpart of Poof and the son of Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda. Because Poof is so nice and attracts so much positive attention, Foop is portrayed as evil and extremely jealous of his counterpart. Foop wants nothing but to destroy Poof, and he cares not for anyone who gets in his way. Unlike Poof, who causes bad things to happen when he cries, Foop's cry causes good things to happen.
Foop resembles Poof, but he is shaped like a cube rather than a ball. He also has a black mustache and goatee (a reference to the Star Trek episode "Mirror, Mirror" in which the evil counterpart of Spock wears the same). Foop has bat wings and a black crown, and his wand is a baby bottle with bat wings on the side. He also speaks with a stereotypical British gentleman accent.
Pixies are similar to fairies but have a much more corporate attitude toward magic than fairies do. As such, they have square physical features, utilize mobile phones instead of wands, dress in greyscale suits with cone-shaped hats, speak in a monotone drone (provided by Ben Stein), require that wishes be submitted for approval by filling out multiple forms, and have a general disregard for anything fun or exciting that does not fit into the pixie mentality. Their homeworld is a business called Pixies, Inc., and their leader is referred to as the Head Pixie, or H.P. (a caricature of Stein himself), with a pixie called Sanderson as his second-in-command. When they warp from place to place, Pixies use "ping" clouds instead of the fairies' traditional "poof" clouds. They usually attempt to take over Fairy World and replace all fairies with pixies using elaborate business schemes.
Dr. Bender (voiced by Gilbert Gottfried in Seasons 1-3; Butch Hartman in Season 5) is an evil dentist. He has an obsession with perfect teeth, wears dentures that keep his mouth in a perpetual smile, and is intolerant toward anyone who does not have quality teeth. His son, Wendell (also voiced by Gilbert Gottfried and later Butch Hartman), is almost identical to his father in appearance and is also tooth-hygienic, but hates seeing his father scare other children. Dr. Bender enjoys performing pointless procedures on children's teeth and encourages children to eat refined sugar and other sweets to boost his business.
Dark Laser (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) is a science fiction villain character who is first seen as an image of a catalog toy before Timmy brings him to life in "Hard Copy". Originally a guest, he becomes a recurring villain in the sixth season. He is an obvious parody of Darth Vader from the Star Wars film series. He is often seen carrying his mechanical toy dog Flipsy, whom Timmy brings into the real world before him (although not alive) and whose backflipping function always makes him giggle.
Norm (voiced by Norm Macdonald in the series and by Robert Cait in "Fairy Idol") is a genie tired of being bound to his lava lamp, into which he must return after being released and granting three wishes to his releaser. While there are no rules limiting what wishes he can grant, he is deceptive and can find clever ways to subvert his master's expectations, similar to a traditional genie in religion and folklore. His weakness is a substance referred to as "smoof", which his lamp is made of. After Timmy outsmarts him in his first appearance, he colludes with Crocker in his second appearance to get revenge on Timmy. In the special episode "Fairy Idol", he formulates a scheme to become a fairy godparent so he can escape his lamp and sabotages a "Fairy Idol" contest (parodying American Idol) to reach this goal.
Princess Mandie a.k.a. Man-DIE (voiced by Tara Strong) is Mark Chang's terrifying though beautiful former fiancée, a barbaric extraterrestrial princess who can be described as psychotically violent. Antagonized by Mark's intimidation about her and his refusal to marry her, Mandie constantly plots revengeful, bloodthirsty murder against him. It was later revealed Mandie never loved Mark and only wanted to marry him as a way of seizing power. Mandie was eventually defeated by Vicky when Timmy and Mark tricked Vicky into attacking her.
Remy Buxaplenty (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) is an archetypical privileged wealthy child, and one of Timmy's rivals. Despite being very rich, Remy is usually unhappy due to his neglectful, wealth-distracted parents, which is the reason why he has a fairy godparent, Wanda's ex-boyfriend Juandissimo. Both Remy and Timmy are aware of each other's fairy godparents, and Remy continuously tries to remove Timmy's fairies, primarily out of jealousy of not having both fairy and human parents who love him. Other than Timmy, and later, Chloe, he is the only named child in the series with a fairy godparent, though many episodes have featured a cameo of at least one unnamed child with their fairy godparent. His last name is a pun of "Bucks aplenty."
The enemies of the Crimson Chin that threaten Chincinnati.
The Darkness (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) is an ancient entity that has existed for millennia and the main antagonist in the first two thirds of the "Wishology" trilogy. It was first encountered by the Ancient Fairy Warriors. Only when the fairies combined their powers to neutralize the Darkness by using its natural enemy, light, did they manage to stop the Darkness completely. In "Wishology", the Darkness returns, seeking out the Chosen One prophesied to stop it: Turbo Thunder (voiced by Brendan Fraser), a superhero who resembles Timmy. In "Wishology 3: The Final Ending", the Darkness' true intentions are revealed: it only wants to alleviate its lonely existence by making friends, but it frightens everyone on almost every planet it visits. Together, Timmy, Turbo Thunder, and their friends transform the Darkness into a light being called "The Kindness".
The Eliminators are robots that serve as The Darkness's henchmen. They are a parody of the iconic action film character the Terminator. They have the power to absorb any weapons and gain its fire power, and after acquiring Fake-a-fires from Yugopotamia, can change their appearance to match anyone or anything. Throughout the "Wishology" trilogy the main Eliminator, characterized by his leather jacket and sunglasses, becomes obsessed with eliminating Timmy after many failed attempts. In "Wishology 3: The Final Ending", he splits from the Darkness after it orders him to keep Timmy alive, and absorbs first Jorgen's wand, then an arsenal of weapons to become "The Destructinator". The Destructinator then uses his magic to transform the Earth into his own, mechanical, planet with the inhabitants his servants. The Destructinator orders for the planet to be filled with explosives that will be launched at The Darkness by a small detonator in an attempt to destroy it himself. After Timmy frees the Fairies from the Darkness, he engages The Destructinator in combat, only to be beaten, but Timmy then tricks The Destructinator into absorbing all the explosives from the planet, which Timmy then detonates, obliterating The Destructinator for good. At the end of the episode, The Darkness (now reformed as The Kindness) releases a new Eliminator (now a friendly "Hug-inator") to free everyone that was trapped inside it.
