I am not a monster! I do what any normal person would do with teeth. I eat them! Mmm, ta-ta-ra-ta-ta!
- --Tooth Fairy to the Teen Titans[src]
The Tooth Fairy is a minor character and villainess who debuts in the episode "Dignity of Teeth". She is responsible for collecting teeth from people all around the world, once they fall out, and leaves money under their pillow, corresponding to the popular myth of "The Tooth Fairy". She is voiced by Khary Payton.
Bio[]
The Tooth Fairy first appears as a black shadow in the beginning of her debut episode "Dignity of Teeth", collecting the teeth of Beast Boy, Starfire, Cyborg and Robin and leaving behind generous amounts of money for them. This caused the four Titans to go corrupt and become obsessed with leaving teeth under their pillow. The four toothless Titans eventually forced themselves on Raven attempting to get her teeth (since the four of them ran out of their own). Raven, who had enough of the behavior of her friends, went to retrieve her friends' teeth from the Tooth Fairy herself.
At her home in the middle of an alley, the Tooth Fairy appeared. In order for Raven to get back her friends' teeth, the Tooth Fairy challenged Raven to a game of "eating teeth". If Raven won, she would get her friend's teeth back, and if the Tooth Fairy won, she'd get Raven's teeth. The Tooth Fairy had a strong start eating the numerous teeth because she'd been used to eating them for so long, leaving a hesitant and disgusted Raven gagging at the idea of trying just one. Eventually, though, Raven tried one and found out they aren't that bad. She inhaled her portion of teeth she was supposed to eat. The Tooth Fairy had a strong lead early in the contest, but she eventually topped out near the end... Raven finished her portions. Honoring her word, the Tooth Fairy gave Raven her friend's teeth back (though she ate one of Beast Boy's), even sharing a joke between the two in good spirit.
The Tooth Fairy would later make different appearances in the series. In "The Streak", the Tooth Fairy temporarily became Robin and Beast Boy's teammates, after the three other Titans switched to Kid Flash's side. In "Easter Creeps", she planned to take over Easter, until she and the Easter Bunny fell in love and procreated a child named Junior.
During Starfire's journey to Tamaran, Tooth Fairy was one of her crewmates. In "Five Bucks", the loss of her tooth ended up turning her into a monster due to her unstable magic, until Freak's tooth was teleported to replace her missing tooth that restored her back to normal. In "Wild Card", Tooth Fairy and her crew were almost defeated by Blackfire, but their mission in destroying the Crown of King Fire succeeded after Robin came to the rescue.
Physical Appearance[]
She has blue skin and black hair shaped like a smile. Her complexion is sort of elfish, with sharp pointy ears and a large nose. The Tooth Fairy also has a unibrow, and she carries around a wand with a large molar fixed to the end of it.
Her original attire consisted of an orange shirt with a little tooth on the front, as well as a pair of tooth-like slippers. She then changed into a pink jumpsuit with an orange collar and a dark pink belt with a tooth buckle around her waist. She also wore a crown with a tooth on the front when she changed.
As a monster, the Tooth Fairy had a more ripped version of her jumpsuit, her hair was messier, and her muscles actually became more pronounced. She also lacked her wings in this monstrous form.
