O.K, LILLY OR ROSETTA? The books present Lilly as the "master" in gardening and as the greatest reference to the art of garden fairies; in the movies this role is played by Rosetta; Will it be a clear "SUBSTITUTION" of one character for another? also for Fira, the fairy of light, which is "replaced" by Iridessa and Rani, who is "replaced" by Silvermist... Is it because the people of Disney did not have rights to use the original books characters?
The theory I've seen a lot and that seems right to me is that the books and the movies were kind of developed separately: the book writers had the freedom to develop the characters they wanted, but they were never necessarily meant to become the main characters of the movies (I believe Gail Carson Levine had only been given (In)Vidia as a character that had to occur). So I don't really think it's a substitution, also because then the characters would have to be a lot more alike (Lily and Rosetta have very different characters, and so do Fira and Iridessa, and Rani and Silvermist), and because the books kept existing next to the movies in their own continuity (albeit giving a little more attention to the movie fairies because they were of course marketed more extensively).
That being said, though I understand why the movies developed that way, I would have loved for the book fairies to appear in the movies, even just as non-speaking background cameos. Like at least Dulcie, Elixa and Beck got to be included in the Pixie Hollow online game, but it would have been great to see the others, perhaps even in the place of newly developed side characters (like Fira could have Iridessa's partner in the Pixie Hollow Games instead of Lumina, Bess could have been used instead of Blair in the DS game, etc.)
Love this picture
No Winter Woods retcon lol
Snow days are the best days for art fairies to make snow sculptures❄️❄️
Some fanart of Bess from the Disney Fairies comics to practise for Fairyary! 🧚♀️ I loved the comics growing up and made it my mission to get the magazines whenever they came out (hard to find in rural Ireland with only two shops that sold 4 kids magazines between them 😅)
All of my disney fairies illustrations!
You can get prints of this series on my inprnt!

The OG girlies!! I really need to redraw them though I feel like I could do better
Blinktober 2024 Week 1: Autumn Revelry/Moonstone Scepter
For my scepter I picked the art talent and one of my favorite fairies to represent
(I also initially planned to draw my fairy next to Bess but whatever, I'll draw him another time)
Please note that this is just my interpretation of Zinnia; her eye color and race will always be the same with your MC and please feel free to keep picturing these characters like you’ve always had, if you want to.
