Mary Poppins

Mary Poppins is the titular nanny and the main protagonist from the self-titled children's book series by P.L. Travers, the 1964 film of the same name, and its 2018 sequel, Mary Poppins Returns. She has various magical powers to help around the lives of the young Banks children, Jane and Michael, especially with some help from her good friend, Bert.

It is never explained where Mary really comes from or what kind of magical being she is, though she is seen sitting on a cloud above London near the beginning of the film. It is known that she has a friend named Bert, and an uncle named Albert (though it is unclear if he is her blood relative, as others call him that as well), who both live in London in 1910. She is described as being "practically perfect in every way."

As a nanny, she is fairly stern, but also kind and nurturing. She is shown to possess various magical abilities including the ability to speak to animals, telekinesis, the transport herself and others to various places and manipulate reality (including sidewalk pictures), animation, as well as flight with her umbrella. (similar to Peter Pan, just without Tinker Bell's pixie dust). She also owns an enhanted handbag, which is in fact much bigger than its appearance and keeps many of her large belongings inside it. However, afterward, she will deny any usage of these powers and her many voyages and adventures, presumably to keep them a secret from the public.

In the book series on the other hand, she is shown to very vain and pompous, and refuses to admit her obvious magical abilities to the Bank's children.

She is played by Julie Andrews (who won an Oscar for her role), and by Emily Blunt in the sequel who also played Tempest Shadow in My Little Pony.
