- Blue Fairy to Jiminy Cricket The Blue Fairy is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time. She débuts in the first episode of the first season. She is portrayed by guest star Keegan Connor Tracy and is the Enchanted Forest counterpart of Mother Superior.

The Blue Fairy is based on a character, "The Fairy with Turquoise Hair", from the story Pinocchio.

Before the Curse
Johanna reveals to a young Snow White that one of Eva's mentors is the Blue Fairy, and that she should go to her if she seeks a way to save her mother. However, unbeknowest to both of them, the one who appeared to Snow that night was not the Blue Fairy, but Cora in disguise. The Blue Fairy is called upon by Baelfire to help him with his father. Baelfire wants to find a way that he and his father can live in a world without magic. The Blue Fairy tells him that his father can never be the way he was but they can go to "a land without magic" where he cannot use his magic to harm people. She gives him a magic bean, the last of its kind. After Rumplestiltskin refuses to give up his power and ends up leaving Baelfire to go to this world alone, he frantically calls on the Blue Fairy. She tells him that there is no way for him to get to that world without paying a great price, which is giving up this land in exchange for the next, to which she accidentally admits there is a curse but takes comfort in the fact that he will never be able to pull it off. He then vows to do whatever it takes to get Baelfire back. The Blue Fairy often helps many people when they wish upon a star. She does this as well, when a young man named Jiminy wishes for help. He had accidentally caused the murder of a boy's parents, and wanted her to bring them back.

However, when she appears, she tells him that she cannot bring his parents back-- but she can make it so that he would be able to watch over the boy. At Jiminy's request, she turns him into a cricket and instructs him to watch over the boy, Geppetto. Many years later, she is sitting in the clouds when a clumsy novice fairy named Nova flies up to sit with her. She gives the Blue Fairy a large bag of fairy dust. The Blue Fairy scolds Nova on her clumsiness and warns her that fairy dust is the most powerful substance in the world, because it is fueled magic. Nova agrees and complains that she had thought she would have been a fairy godmother by then.

The Blue Fairy laughs, calls Nova a dreamer, and flies away. Many nights later, when Dreamy is going to Firefly Hill to run away with Nova, she, along with the head dwarf named Bossy, intercept him. She tells him that the two do not belong together, and speaks about Nova's dreams to become a fairy godmother.

Only if you two were alone, the Blue Fairy argues, would you bring untold happiness to the world. Her speech and Bossy's facts convince Dreamy to go to Firefly Hill--not to run away with Nova and explore the world, but to make sure that they can never be together again. The Blue Fairy and numerous other fairies assist in the assault on King George's castle in attempt to rescue Prince Charming. This is apparently because of a favor owed to Grumpy. Snow White sets a trap for the Evil Queen after King George's forces are defeated. The result of that trap is the Blue Fairy freezing the Evil Queen with fairy dust. She is present at the war council meeting when it is decided that the Evil Queen must be put to death. At her execution, Snow White orders the event to a halt after the executioners arrows' have been fired, and the Blue Fairy stops them inches away from Regina's body. During Cinderella's pregnancy, the Blue Fairy aids her in an effort to keep Rumplestiltskin from acquiring Cinderella's unborn baby. She creates a powerful magical red quill so that Rumplestiltskin's powers would be frozen if he uses it. This plan is successful, and Rumplestiltskin is taken to his prison in the dwarves' mine. The Blue Fairy goes to see Gepetto to request that he fashion a wardrobe from an enchanted tree that can protect two people from the Dark Curse. The Blue Fairy makes a deal with Geppetto to save the second spot for Pinocchio in exchange for the making of the wardrobe. A short while later, Prince Charming and Snow White discuss how to defeat the Evil Queen's Dark Curse with their allies. Just before everyone votes to going to war, the Blue Fairy flies in with an enchanted tree. She claims that the tree, if fashioned into a vessel, will take one person and whisk them away to another world, so that the person can come back for everyone else and save them.

The original plan is for Snow White to go inside the tree so that she and her unborn baby would be safe. However, Snow White goes into labor the day the wardrobe is finished. Because of Snow White's early labor, the Blue Fairy asks Geppetto to tell the truth and send Snow White instead. She leaves to complete her final preparations before the Dark Curse. However, Geppetto ignores her request and puts Pinocchio into the wardrobe anyway. Prince Charming fights his way to the wardrobe, where he places his newborn baby Emma inside; sending her to the next world alone. For events occurring after the casting of the Dark Curse, see Mother Superior.

Trivia
