Fictional characters with the nickname
- Aang, protagonist of the animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Due to his light-footed, stealth-like Airbending moves, Toph has difficulty honing in on his position in battle because of her blindness, despite her ability to “see” with Earthbending. Toph actually refers to him as “Twinkle Toes” more than his actual name throughout the remainder of the series and even during the spin-off series, The Legend of Korra. Flashback visions during its first season showed an adult Toph still calling Aang the name, all to Aang’s disliking. In a full circle moment, Toph even calls Avatar Korra the name while sensing the light spirit Raava inside of her that once possessed her late Avatar pupil and friend.
- Fred Flintstone, main character of the animated television series The Flintstones and other works
- Grace Hastings, a 14-year old girl with light-up shoes hence her nickname “Twinkle Toes” as a mascot and main character from the Skechers brand of the same name.
- Lady, a tank engine and supporting character of the theatrical live-adaptation of the television series Thomas & Friends called Thomas and the Magic Railroad. The evil diesel engine, Diesel 10, refers to her as “Twinkle Toes” several times while trying to hunt her down, likely due to her special ability to scatter gold dust particles behind as she travels and her delicate, fanciful, gentle nature.
