Tink

Also known as チンク (Chinku)

Hello, My Name (in English) is…

Tink… possibly derived from “Tinkerbell”.

Distinguishing Features

The mischievous little cherub with the blond hair and a twinkle in his eye.

Status: Primary Star (★★★)

A mischievous young angel, while God is handing out the hearts that determine gender, he gives Sapphire a male heart in addition to the female heart she properly receives – and is thus responsible for her gender-bending nature.  When God discovers the mistake, he orders Tink to descend to Earth and watch over the young princess and retrieve the male heart.  He is generally kind and sweet in nature, but extremely fallible and sometimes naive.

Notable Roles.

Although he has made only small cameo appearances in other manga, Tink is one of the main supporting characters in Princess Knight [Shojo Club] (1953-56) – reprising the role for the Princess Knight [Nakayoshi] (1963-66) remake.
