Character

The Faeries are characters in Barbie in the Nutcracker. They are one of the mystical beings known to inhabit the magic kingdom of Parthenia, and are voiced by Shona Galbraith in the film.

Story[]

In the land of Parthenia, there are two types of fairies; snow faeries and flower faeries. Two notable of them are the young flower faery and the young snow faery, but all of the faeries from Parthenia assist Clara on her expedition. It is unknown if snow or flower faeries have a ruler but they are what help keep the land alive.

The first snow faery seen is the youngest one. She appears in the opening credits of the movie with the young flower faery. When Clara and the Nutcracker arrive in the ice cave, the young snow faery arrives too, after a short gust of wind. The young faery says something to Clara but it is incomprehensible. She then flies around Clara but she accidentally bumps into the Nutcracker, hurting her wing. He catches her and, after she squeaks a complaint at him, the Nutcracker tells her she should have been more careful. The Nutcracker gives her to Clara and Clara straightens out the young faery's swing. She flies away and brings back more snow faeries. They dance and open an entrance to the rest of Parthenia. They later freeze the Sea of Storms for Clara and her friends to cross, and two of the snow faeries gives Peppermint Girl a snowball to hit the Mouse King with.

The flower faeries have been trapped in a well in the lush valley by the Mouse King's army. The Nutcracker frees them and they all dance and restore their home. They help the Nutcracker and Clara find supplies for their expedition to find the Sugar Plum Princess by making apples grow on trees. The rock giant comes to destroy the Nutcracker, and the flower faeries, afraid, fly away. Their snowy counterparts help Clara and her friends escape from the rock giant. They freeze the Sea of Storms so that Clara and her friends can cross it in the candy sleigh with Marzipan.

At the Sugar Plum Princess' island, Clara gets stuck there as the sea is now unfrozen. The young flower faery comes to see Clara and shows her a swing seat made by her fellow older faeries. Clara sits on it because she trusts them and they fly to the Palace of Sweets, but they are not done helping yet. They rush to the Treetop Village, and the faeries talk to the villagers and they convince them to stand up to the Mouse King. When Clara saves Parthenia, the flower faeries celebrate with everyone and they give Clara a bouquet of flowers after she dances with Eric. The Mouse King forces her to go back to her world by opening a magic locket given to her before she came to Parthenia.

Physical Appearance[]

Snow faeries have blue skin, dark blue hair and eyes. They have skirts made out of snowflakes, with wings on their back. The young snow faery has fair skin, long blonde hair in a bun, and blue eyes. She wears a blue ballet dress and a crown and has delicate wings on her back. She is played by Kelly.

Flower faeries, on other hand, have regular skin, multi-colored hair and dresses resembling flowers of all colors and wings on their back. The young flower faery has pale skin and short dark brown hair. She wears an alice band with purple flowers on it, and she wears a green ballet dress with a skirt of pink petals. She has blue eyes and small wings. She is played by Jenny.

Creations[]

The Flower faeries' Swing[]

The faeries give a swing for Clara

This seat appeared in Barbie in the Nutcracker. After Captain Candy, Major Mint and the Nutcracker were kidnapped by the Mouse King's bats, Clara was left alone on the Sugar Plum Island. Clara wanted to help her friends, so, luckily, the flower faeries found her.

They came carrying a swing seat made of vines, leaves and flowers, which Clara was unsure about sitting on, but she trusted the faeries. The older ones held the swing, while the youngest faery floated alongside Clara as a purple light. They all flew until they parted ways at the Palace of Sweets, where Clara thanked them all. Later, faeries flew to the village and it is unknown what happened to the swing.

Powers and Abilities[]

The Snow Faeries and younger snow faery (played by Kelly) possess the ability to freeze everything at their patch, produce snow at will and can withstand very low temperatures, but can visit warmer climates without limitations. They can also summon blizzards.

The Flower Faeries and younger flower faery (played by Jenny) possess the ability to grow plants, flowers and restore dead vegetation back to its prime (as well as growing fruits). When they were freed, they all used their magic in combination to restore Lush Valley (their home) back to its former glory.

Aside from these set of magic powers, all faeries (be it snow or flower ones) can defy gravity and therefore can fly.

Relationships[]

Clara[]

The faeries immediately recognize Clara as the Sugar Plum Princess as she is kind to them and know that she will break the Nutcracker's spell. They helped free Clara and the Nutcracker from the Ice caves after Clara fixed the young snow faery's wing, they also assisted Clara, Nutcracker, Major Mint and Captain Candy by distracting the rock giant, freezing the sea of storms and bringing Marzipan. When Clara was trapped on the island and the sea unfrozen, the flower faeries found her and brought her a swing and helped bring her to the Palace of Sweets.

The Nutcracker[]

While the little snow faery was not happy that she hurt her wing when she bumped into him, she was kind afterwards. Her counterpart, the little flower faery was kind to him as he released her and the older flower faeries from the well. Like all of the villagers, he understands their language.

Rock Giant[]

When he attacked Clara and the Nutcracker the Flower faeries flew away scared. The Snow faeries on the other hand are willing to distract him while the four escape across the ocean.

Trivia[]

  • All the faeries in the film are female.
  • Despite speaking in squeaky voices, everyone (except Clara) seems to understand them.
  • ”Faery” is another way of spelling “fairy”. For short, they are called “fae” or “fey”.
