Heroes Day 11: The Pink Fairy
January 11, 2012
The Pink Fairy
real name: Helen Caldwell
Caldwell was a 5th grade teacher in Keyes, Oklahoma (Go Pirates!) when the Awakening happened. Her proximity to the helium farms there gave her the ability to harness the inert gas to her will. She can easily take the breath away from her attacker by shooting the gas into their lungs as they scream for their lives in a high pitch death cry. Some have labeled her as a flying superhero… but the more accurate classification of her locomotion is one of a slow float. At least at her current skill level.
After finding about her powers, she had custom made novelty balloons developed for her in which she travels over great distances to save energy. She also got the perm she had always wanted. And she “borrowed” her youngest daughter’s Abby Cadabby wings. Oh ya.. there is the condescending, squeaky, 5th grade teacher voice that comes with the territory as well.
