The Smurfs
The Smurfs tended to be named according to their personality or occupation. They were all male until Gargamel created a female Smurf with black hair. After she entered the Smurfs' mushroom village, however, Papa Smurf transformed "Smurfette" into a blonde, with an appropriate change in personality. In later seasons, the Smurfs made human friends such as Johan and Peewit, and three Smurfs were irrevocably [[Fountain of Youth|rascalized]], and later created ''another'' female smurf called Sassette. (More information [http://www.smurf.com here].) They also have two wikis dedicated to them: [http://smurfs.wikia.com/wiki/Smurfs_Wiki Smurf wiki] and then there is [http://wiki.bluebuddies.com/Main_Page another smurf wiki].
