Each young fairy is assigned a fairy mentor to act as a supervisor and teacher. This is important because it is a tremendous responsibility to be a fairy. Fairies are not allowed to use fairy magic to solve everyday problems or to abuse others, and young fairies are not supposed to use magic at all without approval from their mentors. Fairy mentors are usually older fairies; however, Madam Robin is the exception to this. She is actually a wise old robin that has been bewitched to have long life and the gift of speech. Fairy mentors help arrange excuses like sleepovers and Girls Club activities so young fairies can participate in fairy activities.
