Now that the time is near that Tinker Bell will appear in the show, I have set up a theory of her past.

For starters we all are familiar with the picture of her walking alongside Regina, right? That obviously indicates that they have a connection with each other, and it appears that it happened before Daniel was murdered by Cora. Seeing as Regina wears a light colored dress and her hair is loose. And it apparently is set in the Enchanted Forest.

Now the theory. Tinker Bell was once in training to become a Fairy Godmother. She was under the training of the Blue Fairy and, just like Nova did, had to retrieve Magic Beans and all that kind of stuff. Somewhere during her training she met Regina and helped her with her problems or something like that, but I think there isn't much interaction between the two other than that encounter.

Tinker Bell actually made it to be a Fairy Godmother and was appointed to a boy, Peter Pan, who lives in the Enchanted Forest.

She was appointed to him because he has a terrible life. His parents abused him and totally didn't care about him. He was only used to get the family some more money of which he couldn't even profit from. When Tinker Bell appeared before him, Peter only wanted one thing. He wanted to go away from this place, from his parents, and start a new life. He wished to never grow up and become adults like his parents. Tinker Bell knew of the existance of Neverland, a place where no one would grow up. Tink discussed this with Blue Fairy, but she was highly against it to let a boy travel to another world, and added that it only was possible with Magic Beans so..

Tink told Peter this and said they would escape together to Neverland, as Tink couldn't face Blue Fairy anymore after she did something that isn't allowed. Thus, Tink retrieved some Magic Bean and the two fled to Neverland. At the beginning it was a great place for Pan and Tink, but eventually Pan took a wrong turn and landed on the path of evil. And Tink, being his Fairy Godmother, is tasked to watch over him, no matter how.

Let me know what role you think she has in the story
