Main characters
Timmy Turner
Timmy Turner Timothy Tiberius "Timmy" Turner (voiced by Tara Strong) is a buck-toothed 10-year-old boy that is granted Cosmo and Wanda as fairy godparents because he is miserable. His parents are rarely around and take little interest in him; his babysitter, Vicky, is the most evil babysitter in the world. He wishes for everything he wants, which sometimes causes havoc. Timmy got his buck tooth when his grandfather let him suck on his pacifier too long. Timmy is fairly smart, but has a short attention span and doesn't care about school but is also unusually resourceful at times, particularly for a ten year old. The concept of Timmy Turner first came from Butch Hartman's idea of a boy version of Cinderella who is watched over by a fairy godmother.
Cosmo and Wanda
Cosmo (right) and Wanda (left)Cosmo Julius Cosmo and Wanda Venus Fairywinkle (voiced by Daran Norris and Susan Blakeslee respectively) are the married pair of fairy godparents that are assigned to Timmy Turner. Their magical power depends on their staying together. In the series' beginnings, they were portrayed as being very much in love; in later seasons, a more stereotypical nagging wife/idiot husband portrayal was substituted, which contributed to the series' fall from popularity. In one episode, it reveals that Cosmo purposed to Wanda with a chewed pen cap but 'she still loved him'.
Baby Poof
Poof
Baby Poof (voiced by Tara Strong) is the only natural child of fairies Cosmo and Wanda, and Timmy Turner's baby godbrother. He has extraordinary powers which are contained by a magical rattle given by Jorgen von Strangle, which acts like a normal fairy wand. Poof was highly sought-after by the Anti-fairies, Mamma Cosma (or so they thought), the Pixies and Jorgen himself (though Jorgen just wants to make sure Poof doesn't fall into the wrong hands) because of the pure, untapped magic inside him. His laughing does good things, his crying does bad things, his hiccups cause natural disasters and when he burps, the nearest person gets electrically shocked, and when he breaks wind, all problems are fixed in an instant right after a distortion in the space-time continuum. Before Poof was officially named, his name was being constantly changed by all the characters to names like Twinkle, Lil' T (Little Timmy), Oprah, Tallulah, Barfolomew, Napoleon, Farrah, Bosley, Bill, Jos?, Dagmar, Keanu, Mackenzie, Fauntleroy, Kajagoogoo and Elvis. Timmy was the one who gave Poof his name, due to the fact that "Poof" is mostly the only word he says.
