Poupelin

As a fairy in Queen Badiane's service, Poupelin is rarely seen apart from the flute that drives his schemes. His title of Hummingbird Fairy proves literal, since the destruction of his instrument shrinks him into a small blue hummingbird that flits away. His name itself points to a French cream pastry, an old word that could once stand for a child as well.

Poupelin sees nothing cruel in rounding up children for his mistress. Alongside Banane and Orangeat, he is certain that sealing the young in endless sleep guards their dreams, and he carries himself as the ringleader of the group. Only his younger brother Perle breaks with this thinking, and when Perle turns against the plan, Poupelin reacts with a tangle of fury and confusion.

The fairy opens the film by raising his flute and playing a spellbinding number, Three O'Clock Fairy, which draws hypnotized children out of their houses to trail behind him. Badiane enlists him with three others, promising the captured little ones eternal youth and freedom from harm. Reaching Tokyo, his music ensnares Chibiusa, who drifts with the crowd toward a flying vessel bound for Marzipannu Castle and its Dream Coffins, until Usagi shakes her loose from the spell.

Faced by the Sailor Guardians, he flings blue Bonbon Babies at them and conjures a false gingerbread house to trap the girls until Tuxedo Mask steps in. Perle's sudden arrival stills the candy creatures, leaving Poupelin enraged. He ferries the stolen children up to the castle in the clouds, where he, Banane, and Orangeat open fire with cannons. During the closing clash, Sailor Uranus slices his flute apart with the Space Sword, reducing him to a blue hummingbird that flees, a defeat that leaves Perle grieving his older sibling.
