Signature

Iridessa is a bright and energetic light fairy. She's part of the main cast alongside Tinker Bell and their friends. Before that she made a few appearances in the chapter books, her first appearence being in Vidia and the Fairy Crown.

Physical appearance

Iridessa is an average sized fairy with a warm, dark complexion. She has black twist braids which are tied into a neat bun; her hair also shimmers. She has brown eyes and dark red lips, her body type is similar to Tinker Bell's. Iridessa's wings have the classic wing shape, but they're also yellow and shimmering.

Like the rest of her friends, Iridessa's outfit varies between seasons and events. Her usual outfit consists of a medium length skirt and a sleeveless top made of sunflower petals, aswell as yellow flats. Her top is decorated with a sunflower seed. In a joke outtake from The Lost Treasure, Iridessa flicks the sunflower seed off and wonders how long it has been there.

Her outfits are pretty consistent across the seasons; For her autumn outfit she has wears a similar top, but with long sleeves and an orange ruffled collar. She also has orange pants under her skirt, and an orange headband. During summer she wears something similar to her usual outfit, but instead of a skirt and top it's a dress with straps and a black, zigzaggy pattern that goes around the top of the skirt. Her winter outfit is similar to her autumn outfit, but her pants are yellow and longer. The rest of her clothing is made of brown leaves and cotton; her thigh-high boots and her gloves which both have a cotton lining, her capelet, and her earmuffs. She got rid of the sunflower seed on her top, and instead has one small sunflower seed on the upper part of both boots.

Personality

Iridessa is kind and friendly but extremely worrisome- a trait that becomes more prominent as time goes on. Thanks to many of her friends being reckless and lacking foresight, she has a lot to worry about. Generally, most of the jokes surrounding her will be about her responding to a stressful situation by being either fearful or nervous.

Anthroponymy

Iridessa is a play on the word iridescent, meaning a display of many bright colors that change when seen from different angles.
