Blue Fairy / 蓝仙女

The Blue Fairy / 蓝仙女 is the fairy and mother figure in [[AdventuresOfPinocchio|《木偶奇遇记》]], discussed in 122.匹诺曹：成长的惨痛及其所创作的. The episode follows her from blue-haired girl to rescuer, apparent dead beloved sister, adult woman, mother, blue goat-like guardian sign, and final dream visitor.

In the source’s reading, the Blue Fairy is not only a magical mechanism for reward and punishment. Her changes make Pinocchio experience attachment, loss, guilt, patience, and care. Her apparent death especially turns the story from external correction into an internal wound: Pinocchio suffers because forgetting or failing the mother figure has become morally real to him.
