Phillip the Nickel

Philip the Nickel is a reoccurring character on the Fairly OddParents. She is Cosmo's Nickel. Cosmo, has a strong, but strange, attachment to this Nickel possibly loving her almost as much as he loves Wanda.

Cosmo first met her in the episode Spaced Out when he and Wanda poofed up Mark Chang from Ugopotamia, after Timmy wished for an authentic alien to recreate a scene from Crash Nebula. Wanda told Timmy that "We have good news and bad news." When Timmy asked what the good news was Cosmo responded "The alien we got you is actually a prince from the dreaded war planet Ugopotamia," Wanda continued "And his parents are on their way to earth to destroy the earth and rescue their son!" Timmy followed up by asking "What's the bad news?" Wanda said "Wait, that was the bad news." Frustrated Timmy asked again "So then what's the good news?" To which Cosmo replies "I found a Nickel!"

Later in the episode it is revealed what Cosmo named the Nickel when Timmy said that he had good news and bad news. Cosmo followed up by saying "I named my Nickel Philip!" Mark Changs' father asked "What's the bad news?" Cosmo replied "It's a Girl Nickel!"

At the end of the episode, Vicky found Philip, which made Cosmo extremely distraught. He was able to reclaim Philip though, because he is shown with her in later episodes.

Philip seems to have a comforting effect on Cosmo. Cosmo sleeps with Philip and sometimes brings her with him when he is afraid, such as in the event of a burglary. He also has a portrait of her in his room right above his bed.

It is possible that Cosmo only likes Philip because of her appearance. He likes Nickels because of their luster. And in-fact bet Wanda in a bet with Juandissimo where if Juandisimo lost, he would give Cosmo a nickel.
