Who is the Midnight Fairy?

The Midnight Fairy is the most mysterious fairy of all. Her name is Noctua, and she has wings the color of the deep night sky โ€” dark blue and silver, with tiny glowing dots like real stars. She only comes out at the very stroke of midnight, when the world is perfectly quiet and still.

Nobody has ever seen her face clearly, because she moves as fast as a shooting star. But if you look out your window at midnight, you might catch a tiny flash of silver lightโ€ฆ that's Noctua flying past.

Her Magical Powers

๐ŸŒ™

Dream Weaving

Noctua can stitch together the most beautiful dreams from moonbeams and starlight. She sends them through your window while you sleep.

๐ŸŒŒ

Star Painting

Every night she repaints the constellations to make sure they are bright enough. She uses a brush made from a comet's tail.

๐Ÿฆ‰

Animal Whisperer

All the night animals โ€” owls, foxes, fireflies โ€” are her friends. She holds tiny midnight parties with them in the forest.

๐Ÿ’ค

Sleep Dust

She carries a pouch of shimmering sleep dust. One tiny pinch makes even the most restless child drift into a cozy, peaceful sleep.

๐Ÿ”ฎ

Moon Magic

On full moon nights, Noctua's powers are ten times stronger. She can make the moon glow any color she chooses.

๐ŸŒ 

Wish Catching

Every wish made on a shooting star floats up as a tiny glowing bubble. Noctua catches them in a special silver net and keeps them safe.

A Midnight Tale

One night, a little girl named Zenko couldn't sleep. She sat at her window watching the stars, and whispered, "I wish I could see a real fairy."

At the exact stroke of midnight โ€” bong, bong, bong โ€” a tiny silver light appeared outside her window. It zipped left. It zipped right. Then it stopped and hovered right in front of the glass.

It was Noctua. Her wings shimmered like the surface of a moonlit lake. She pressed one tiny hand against the glass and smiled.

Then she reached into her pouch, blew a puff of sleep dust through the keyhole, and vanished in a trail of silver sparks.

Zenko fell asleep immediately โ€” and dreamed the most wonderful dream she had ever had.
