Poof, poof!
~ Poof's most spoken words.
Hey kid, I'm Poof - or at least I was. I changed my name to Peri, like periwinkle."
~ Peri introducing himself to Dev Dimmadome

Periwinkle "Peri" Fairywinkle-Cosma (born Poof Fairywinkle-Cosma) is the tritagonist of The Fairly OddParents franchise.

He is the son of Cosmo and Wanda, whose most notable spoken word was "Poof", which Timmy decides upon as his name. Years later, he becomes the fairy godparent of Dev Dimmadome. After growing up, he changes his name to "Peri".

He was voiced by Tara Strong in the original cartoon and voiced by Randy Jackson for the live action movie. In A New Wish, he is voiced by Eric Bauza (who also voiced Irep).

Appearance[]

As a baby, Poof was a small round fairy with purple eyes. He has one hair on his head which is in the shape of a 'P'. He carries a magical rattle.

In the sequel series A New Wish, Peri has grown up. He wears a purple shirt and purple suspenders. His hair style is a combination of his parents' having a small spike at the top, similar to his dad Cosmo, and a swirl like Wanda's, except his swirls in the opposite direction. His hair is also tied in a ponytail. His wand is a cane with a crystal ball, similar to his magic rattle he had as an infant.

Personality[]

He used to be quite innocent and quiet. He later became smarter and he is very optimistic. He is also heroic, good-hearted, brave, friendly and quite short-tempered. He doesn't like Timmy's pink hat and he had asked to be Foop's friend. He is headstrong like Wanda. Poof is now able to say many English words, instead of just "Poof poof". He's nearly always cheerful. Quite a lot of characters like him and smile when they see him.

As an adult, Peri initially comes off as charming and suave, somewhat similar to Cosmo's personality in the "Oh Yeah! Cartoons" shorts. However, following episodes depict him as somewhat neurotic and sarcastic, due to having to deal with Dev, who is rather spoiled and demanding, as his godchild. He also hates being babied by his parents, often being annoyed when they interrupt him or act too affectionate towards him. He is generally shown to be intelligent and logical, even more so than both of his parents, and he does his best to influence Dev into being a better kid and following Da Rules to the best of his ability.

History[]

He was born to Cosmo and Wanda in the episode, "Fairly Odd Baby" after his parents decided that they wanted to have a child despite the destruction that his father had caused as a baby.

While Poof was absent from the beginning of Season 10, the reason being to prevent too many characters from being in one episode, he returns in Certifiable Super Sitter, which is his only appearance in Season 10.

In "Fairy Old Parent", Poof is assigned to his very first person as a fairy godparent as his own, for miserable old people; such as Dolores Day-Crocker. He granted her wishes but became overworked and exhausted from the overnight wishes she makes, thus returning to Cosmo and Wanda.

In the Season 10 episode "Certifiable Super Sitter", Poof returned from Spellementary Boarding School for spring break.

Poof is reintroduced in A New Wish in Lost and Founder's Day, where he appears at the end and announces that he is now Dev Dimmadome's fairy godparent.

Trivia[]

  • Poof also made a small cameo on T.U.F.F. Puppy in the episode, "Mall Rat" as a fountain statue in his fish form.
  • His voice has gotten deeper and more comical as part of his formal training to be a great fairy. Chloe goes completely crazy over him, as she loves babies.
  • According to one of A New Wish's co-creators, the reason for why Poof's name was changed to "Peri" was due to how the term "poof" is a derogatory term for gay men in the United Kingdom. [1]
