Personalities[]

Both are clumsy, not very awake and often get into trouble, and they are also a little cowardly in times of danger, and have a relationship with each other that at first appears platonic. However, their relationship is also romantically coded, so it is likely the two are in a romantic relationship, but were unable to be represented as such due to censorship laws and the attitudes towards homosexuality at the time of the Tinker Bell franchise’s creation both in and out of Disney studios. As well as this, they are also caring, selfless and sensitive to others, and are also great friends of Tinker Bell.

They are both happy with their talents, unlike Tinker Bell who doesn't like it at the beginning of the first film because he can't go to the still world. And some of their favorite activities are tinkering (magic tricks of course) and one of them likes to enjoy the Tink and Periwinkle show on some evenings. They are also the only ones who reside at the Magic Dust Tree.

Clank is the most obtuse and naive of the duo, but he's sweet and understanding nonetheless. Just like Bobble he likes to be a Tink and he's always on the silly side and has a great fear of glaciers.

Bobble on the other hand is slightly smarter than Clank and a bit smarter, a difference of Clank hesitates him to create accidentally created objects, and some of his inventions backfire.
