The (real) Tinkerbell the world has come to know and love for 50 years has that kind of sweet disposition that has ... been ... and will always be ... enduring ...

This can never be confused with the kind of temperament we've come to know from the Texas Tinkerbell ...

You've never seen or read the original Peter Pan, have you. Even Wiki says this about Tinker Bell of Peter Pan.....

In original play and novel
Tinker Bell was described by Barrie as a fairy who mended pots and kettles, like an actual tinker.[1] Her dialogue consists of the sounds of a tinkling bell, which is understandable only to those familiar with the language of the fairies. In the original stage productions, she was represented on stage by a darting light "created by a small mirror held in the hand off-stage and reflecting a little circle of light from a powerful lamp"[2] and her voice was a "a collar of bells and two special ones that Barrie brought from Switzerland".[3] However, a Miss 'Jane Wren' was listed among the cast on the programmes as playing Tinker Bell: this was a joke which also helped with the mystique of the fairy character, as well as fooled HM Inspector of Taxes who sent Jane Wren a tax demand.[4]

Though sometimes ill-tempered, spoiled, and very jealous [5] and vindictive (getting the Lost Boys to shoot arrows at Wendy),[6] at other times she is helpful and kind to Peter. The extremes in her personality are explained in-story by the fact that a fairy's size prevents her from holding more than one feeling at a time, so when she is angry she has no counterbalancing compassion. Fairies cannot fly in the rain but can enable others to fly by sprinkling them with fairy dust (sometimes called "pixie dust" by Disney, and presented as "starstuff" in Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's novel series).[1] At the end of the novel the suggestion is that Tinker Bell has died in the year after Wendy and the Darlings leave Neverland, and Peter has no memory of her at all.
