Pick Your Talent, Pick Your Race

In Pixie Hollow, race is not determined by color. Race is determined by which talent guild player decides for their avatar. Talent guilds determine just about everything about a Fairy or Sparrow Man. Talent guilds are used to determine skill , types of talent quests, waist sashes, wing color, and supervising fairy.



  • Rosetta is the fairy in charge of the Garden Talent Guild

My avatar Quinn Citrusvine’s is a Garden Talent Sparrow Man


  • Silvermist is in charge of the Water Talent Guild




  • Fawn works with the Animal Talent Guild








  • Tinker Bell is in charge of the Tinker or Pots and Pans Talent Guild

  • Iradessa is in charge of the Light Talent Guild

There are other guilds in the game, such as Baking, Music, Dust Keeping, and Painting, but these guilds are not avatar options for players to choose. An interesting thing about an avatar’s talent guild, the player chooses their fairy/sparrow man’s talent AFTER they have designed the physical appearance of the avatar. In Pixie Hollow, color/ethnicity has NOTHING to do with race or talent of a Fairy or Sparrow Man.


The Disney Fairies themselves represent a variety of ethnicities.
• Silvermist- the Water Talent Fairy looks very Asian and is voiced by Lucy Lu in the Tinker Bell films.
• Rosetta- GaBulleted Listrden Talent Fairy is representative of an American Southern Be

  • • Iradessa- Light Talent Fairy is an African American or Black Fairy
    • Fawn- Animal Talent Fairy is a Hispanic/Latino Fairy.
    • Tinker Bell- Tinker Talent Fairy is a Euro- Caucasian American Fairy.
    • Terrence- A Dust Keeping Talent Fairy is a Euro-
    Caucasian American Sparrow Man.

In the game however, all different ethnicities can and do join the different talent guild races. If you play the game long enough, you do not see a lot of African American fairies. “Ethnic”
fairies and sparrow men are not prevalent forces or presences in Pixie Hollow.

Pixie Hollow is segregated on some level by race. All members of a talent guild live together.
• Garden Talent fairies and sparrow men live in Springtime Square



Treetop Bend, Cherryblossom Heights, Springtime Orchard and Newberry Thicket.
Spring time weather is perfect for practicing and maintaining personal gardens and gardens for the Mainland- the human world.

• Water Talent Fairies and Sparrow Men live in Dewdrop Vale and Palm Tree Coast areas, close to the water.
• Light Talent Fairies and Sparrow Men live in Sunflower Gully. The gully has lots of exposure to both day and night light crystals.
• Pots and Kettle Fairies also known as the Tinkers are in Cottonpuff Field, home of Tinkers Nook.
• Animal Fairies live in Maple Tree Hill, which is close to Winter Woods where they work with hibernating animals.
• Havendash Square serves as Town Square in Pixie Hollow. This is where everybody comes for news and updates.


Question: Why Would a Fantasy World, Not Just Pixie Hollow, Need to or Desire to Be Segregated?
