Fairy Companion: Difference between revisions

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* In the [[Sailor Moon]] manga, each of the Planet Senshi has a Sprite that basically looks like a chibi version of their respective ward, though they never appeared in other continuities. At one point, Usagi/Serena was going to have a pet fairy named Diana, The idea was scrapped, but the name was retained for Artemis & Luna's daughter.

* The creator and staff of the above series liked Cham so much that she was given an [[Expy]] in their later, notably more [[Science Fiction|Sci-Fi]] work, ''[[Heavy Metal L-Gaim]]''. Said Expy, Lillith Fuau, was even [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor|voiced by]] [[Actor Allusion|the same woman as Cham]]. Cham and Lilith even get to meet in ''[[Super Robot Wars 4]]'' and ''[[Super Robot Wars Compact]]''

* In the manga ''[[Aqua Knight]]'', [[Action Girl|heroine]] Ruliya saves a caterpillar from her brother when the two are children. The lucky bug metamorphoses into a butterfly-like fairy named Pinoque, who crosses paths with Ruliya again years later during her quest for knighthood.

* Kero from ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]''.

* Lily of [[Kiniro no Corda]].

* Combined with [[Ghost in the Machine]] to create the Guardian Charas in ''[[Shugo Chara]]''.

* While not technically a fairy, [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Reinforce Zwei]] acts like this towards her Meister, Yagami Hayate. Certainly not helped by her [[Fun Size|30cm-ish tall figure]]. She stops being chibi and becomes fully human sized by Force.

* Ascot from ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''

 

* ''[[The Dresden Files]]'':

** In ''[[The Dresden Files]],'' Harry Dresden has what amounts to a [[Hero Secret Service]] of faeries led by Toot-Toot. Not really a sidekick as Toot-Toot only shows up occasionally.

** Arguably his godmother the Leanansidhe, too, although as one of the [[The Fair Folk|Sidhe]] she's less a sidekick and more a very powerful and dangerous nonhuman sorceress who sometimes helps him because she's made deals or something.

* The Francesca Lia Block novel ''I Was a Teenaged Fairy'' uses this trope as its basic plot.

** In an episode of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', [[Too Dumb to Live|the mayor]] is playing what is obviously a Zelda game, and is so inept he kills his own fairy. Even though this isn't actually possible in any Zelda game, it's likely something many players have fantasized about. {{spoiler|Excepting that killing her cost him 4 lives.}}

{{quote|'''Mayor''': "Stupid fairy."}}

* ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]]'':

** The protagonist's first demon ally is Pixie. Although, through the evolution and fusion systems, it can become any number of other creatures, some more horrible than others. However, keeping whatever creature would be considered the "descendant" of the original fairy all the way through the end of the [[Bonus Dungeon]] will cause it to turn back into its fairy form... but [[Game Breaker|far, far more powerful.]]
