Tinker Bell is born from the first laugh of a newborn baby and brought by the winds to Pixie Hollow, Never Land. Here she meets the other fairies and learns that her talent is to be a tinker, a fairy who makes and fixes things. The other tinkers teach her their craft and she is able to repair a ballerina music box using parts found washed up on the beach, but when she tries to learn other arts, like tending animals or capturing the dreaded thistles, she fails miserably, accidentally destroying the work of the fairies and causing them to consider delaying their main project, bringing Spring to the mainland.
