Michelle Tierney
The Fairy Queen

Keeper of Crystal Castle, Pegasus Starfleet Alliance Member Number 1, and Ruler of All Fairyland - The Fairy Queen is a very busy fairy these days! Her favourite things to do in Fairyland are hosting gala balls at Crystal Castle and shopping for pearl encrusted shoes at King Neptune's Shoe Emporium. The Fairy Queen's favourite saying is, "Believe in Fairies, because they believe in you".

Michelle left her position as a project officer for the Department of Child Safety to concentrate on the growing success of Fairy Queen Productions. She is also studying a Bachelor of Social Science/Bachelor of Arts at the University of Queensland. Michelle enjoys reading the wicked philosophy and wisdom of Lucy from the "Peanuts" comic strip and sadly misses 'doing' parties due to her ever-growing administration role. (Although she does sneak out to the odd party!)

Mechelle "Shelly" Walker
Crystal

Crystal lives in Pegasus Palace, overlooking the Radiance River. It is her royal duty to look after the pegasusii for the Fairy Queen. She teaches them to formation fly and how to catch comets and also shows them how to become invisible when a human is around. Her favourite thing to eat is buttercup tea served with strawberries and mooncream.

Shelly is also a student of the University of Queensland, studying a Bachelor of Social Work. She is the proud mother of 11-year-old Ehmily who was the inspiration behind Fairy Queen Productions, and is now also mum to 4-year-old twins Tommy & Lily. (The Fairy Queen's god-children by the way!) Mechelle enjoys sushi and has been known to take pleasure in (very) bad 80's music.

Jamie Oakley
Blossom

During the week, Blossom's job is to make sure all the flowers wake up nice and early and bloom when the sun shines, so that the boys and girls can smell them when they make their way to school. Blossom has lots of pets - a fairy kitten called Willow, a puppy dog called Snowy, a dragon called Bernie, a bunny rabbit called Furball and a turtle called Slow Poke. Blossom is currently working as Fairy Ambassador to the British Council of Fairies, located in London and will return to her post at Crystal Castle in September 2010.

Jamie has recently left the Department of Emergency Services to return to the Department of Justice and currently holds a Justice of the Peace qualification. She has also studying for a Bachelor of Business (Marketing) degree at Griffith University. Jamie has been involved in community and youth organisations for many years and has a (not-so) secret passion to one day discover a real-live care bear. Jamie is the third of the three (yes, us, the mad creators).

Rebecca Wessels
Cupcake

Guess what Cupcake does in Fairyland? Yes! She bakes our cupcakes for us, and oh, what delicious cupcakes she bakes! While all the fairies are sleeping, cupcake is busily baking in the Fairy Queens' kitchen.  Fairy cupcakes are her favourite thing to bake (and eat).  First she mixes flour, butter, and sugar, and then carefully breaks in some eggs.  For the special ingredients that make the cupcakes magical and delicious, Cupcake adds a few drops of Fairy sprinkles, some sparkles from a unicorns horn, a teaspoon of dust from a shooting star and finishes with a tiny sprinkling of rainbow dew.

Rebecca has a Bachelor of Education and works as an Early Childhood Officer.  Rebecca loves Fairy parties and enjoys playing lots of fun and exciting games like cat and mouse, musical spots, parachute games, and much, much more. We were fortunate enough to have Bec join us in April 2009, and like all of our fairies, she is never allowed to leave Fairyland!

Emily Bennett
Summer

Summer's main job in Fairyland is to make sure that the sun is all fit and ready for the summer months. She takes over from Fairy Princess Spring every year and helps the sun shine both bright and long, so we can all enjoy our fabulous summer days. You can see how close Summer has been to the sun when you look at her hair. Touches of sunlight bounce off it, and we are certain that it gets blonder every year!

Emily joined FQP in October 2009, just as she (very excitedly) completed her Senior studies. Keen to become a Physical Education teacher, Emily has prepared herself for a teaching career with children through Certificate III in Childrens' Services modules at school, and doing work experience for prep classes. Emily is a netball nut, and shows boundless energy and enthusiasm at all of her Fairy parties.

April Jenkinson
Fairy Floss

Naturally, Fairy Floss's favourite food is Fairy Floss! She is the chief Fairy Floss maker of Fairyland and we all marvel at the wonderful flavours Floss creates. You really should try her Marshmallowed Dewdrop flavour - it's quite delicious! You'll often find Fairy Floss down at the Fairy Forest amongst the wild flowers and big, old and wise trees, where there are many little animals to meet and play with.

April works for the Queensland Police Department during the week, and when the weekend comes she is all smiles and the proud mum of little Fairy baby Seth. After many years involvement with youth organisations, her wealth of experience in entertaining children has been seen at our parties since July 2007. April is one of our more organised fairies and is often seen around FQHQ, helping the fairy factory prepare for another fabulous event.

Shea Welsh
Petal

Petal lives at Mushroom Meadow in Fairyland. Her father is a gnome and her mother is a flora fairy, so naturally Petal has a pair of green thumbs. Petal's official role in Fairyland is to watch over the Fairy Queen's official flower garden. She distributes flowers to Crystal Castle weekly, and also to unexpecting humans to brighten their day or help celebrate special events!

Shea studied early childhood in high school and obtained Cert III in working with children and began with FQP in July 2007. A current First Aid Certificate holder, Shea is currently at University studying to be a midwife so she can help to deliver all of those fairy babies. She is all about being silly with the kids and the parents - the more laughing done the better! And of course, she has excellent dance moves. (Just ask Shea).

Rachel Peacock
Apple

Apple's royal duty is to ensure that all Fairies eat healthy, fresh food every day. She lives with her baby sister Princess Strawberry and her mum Fairy Watermelon in the big apple house over on Orchard Lane. Apple nnjoys making fruit salad and always makes sure there is apple included: either pink lady, gala, or granny smiths!

Rachel is currently studying a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy at the University of Queensland (just like the FQ, good girl Rach!). She also currently works at the after-school care in her old primary school as she just couldn't let go of the place! Always smiling, always giggling, often seen eating McDonalds, Rachel has been a much loved addition to our Fairy family since June 2009.

Carla McGlynn
Stardust

Stardust is our musical fairy and plays some rockin' electric guitar at our live show performances. Her role in Fairyland is as the senior musical director of the Fairy Symphony Orchestra. Stardust makes sure all flora and fauna know their roles and helps them to keep their instruments in tune and is the resident piano teacher at Crystal Castle. She also helps the Moon Princess each night, by making sure every star is beautifully polished and ready to go on show before hanging them out in the night sky.
 
Carla is in her last year of a Bachelor of Education to become a music teacher. She is a talented performer, playing guitar, piano and percussion, and also has an amazing singing voice. She has a dog named Stanley, who talks to her, and a love for all things bright and colourful. You have to watch out for her on Mario Carts though, she can get pretty intense to say the least!

Melissa Shay
Midnight

From dusk ‘til dawn Fairy Princess Midnight watches over all the Fairy Princesses and Princes and keeps them safe while they are sleeping.  She sprinkles her Magic Dream Dust over all the land to conjure wonderful dreams for all. A single wave of her powerful Dream Wand is enough to keep all nightmares and monsters at bay. If you listen very closely to the wind at night, you can hear her sweet lullabies calling all to rest and her breath can blow away even the strongest of storms. And although black is her colour, she is a bearer of light.

By day Melissa, is a friendly voice on the end of the telephone; and by night she creates an abstract world through her brushes and paints. She has recently been accepted to study Youth Work where she hopes to bring her passion and experience to the aide of young people struggling to come to terms with family issues. An avid animal lover, she is the proud ‘mother’ of two mischievous pythons.

Talia Nelson
Poppy

Poppy is one of three fairy sisters whose mother is a tree fairy (she’s very tall) and her father is a garden pixie. She lives in a little red cottage, by the ladybird paddock, right at the end of Ruby Way. Her job in Fairyland is to make and improve potions and remedies in her magical kitchen – at the moment, she is working on making the “Embiggening Potion” taste better and making fairy dust even more sparkly. Poppy's favourite thing to do while she isn't working on her potions is catching ladybirds and counting their spots.

Talia has a Bachelor of Applied Science (Chemistry) and used to work in a laboratory, so she has real life experience with potions and the pretty (or not so pretty) colours they can create.  She has spent years surrounded by children due to her involvement in youth organizations and tutoring, as well having two younger sisters who were (and still are) fairy-mad. Talia has a large collection of colourful rubber ducks and would like a house with more bathrooms, just so she can display them all.

Blue Card Number: 197847/3

Carita Nelson
Ribbons

Ribbons runs Mulberry Farm down at the end of Orchard Lane. She trains all the Fairy Silkworms so that they can make the thread for her ribbons. Her favourite is the pink silkworm, because, you guessed it, it can make pink ribbons! Ribbons has always been fabulous at crafts and she can often be found under the huge apple tree on her farm, having a picnic, reading a book or making her beautiful ribbons for sale at the Fairy markets on Treasure Trove Drive (1st Saturday of every month, I thought I should get a plug in here while I could!).

Carita is currently studying Tourism and has definitely caught the travel bug. She loves to dabble in the European languages and is currently freshening up her French and also learning Hungarian. Carita loves arts and crafts, sewing and painting mostly. She sews soft toys that are a little bit on the quirky side of things!

Katie Havas
Sunset

Sunset's mother is a day-time fairy, and her father is a night-time fairy, so it is only natural that her favourite time of day is sunset! Her job in Fairyland is to make sure that the sun goes down every evening, so that the moon can come up! As the sun sets every evening, it's Sunset who makes all the beautiful colours (often her favourites: red and pink!) and cloud patterns in the sky.
 
Katie has recently completed her honours degree in Psychological Science at UQ and is now doing research for the University at St Lucia. She has worked in customer service and administration for many years, and is also a certified group fitness instructor and personal trainer. Katie brought her fabulous talents and smiling face to FQP in November 2007 and is now stuck with us forever!

Amanda Baker
Rainbow

Rainbow's job is to create beautiful rainbows in the sky after it has rained, and she loves her job. Her favourite games are cloud dancing and sliding down rainbows and she has special access to Fairy food treats! After teaching her how to make rainbows, her mum and dad retired and now own The Fairy Bread Factory in Twinkletown 

Amanda has completed a degree in Visual Arts and Secondary Education and is quite creative in her thinking, which shows at her parties. She joined our Fairy Fleet in March 2007 and just loves being a Fairy. She has also recently published her own children's book which we take with us to our fairy parties (contact us if you would like to buy a copy). Amanda always has a smile on her face, and has quite the reputation for giggling long after a joke has been told.
