Production Background
Cosmo and Wanda concept art, plus additional facts.
- Wanda's name was originally going to be Venus, to compliment Cosmo's "spacey" name. However, Butch Hartman went with Wanda because it seemed like a natural fit for her with her wand. She was also first designed frumpy and unattractive.
- Wanda's design, especially her hair, was inspired by Wilma Flintstone from the classic 1960's animated series, The Flintstones.
- Her hair was also originally intended to be blue but was changed to pink to better contrast with Timmy's blue room.
- In the Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts, Wanda's earrings are reddish, whereas in The Fairly OddParents series, her earrings are golden.
- In the series' early episodes (like the episode The Big Problem), Wanda's skin color was light pink instead of Caucasian. It can be confirmed by seeing her along with Cosmo (who always had Caucasian skin). The color of her skin was later changed to Caucasian.
- The romantic relationships between Wanda and Cosmo was likely partially inspired by Marge and Homer Simpson from The Simpsons. Butch Hartman is a fan of that show and has implied Homer was an inspiration on Cosmo.
Trivia
- She, along with Cosmo has been in all but one episode of the entire series.
- Wanda along with Timmy, Cosmo, Mr. Turner, Mrs. Turner, Chester, AJ, Jorgen, Mark, Chet Ubetcha, Mr. Crocker and Vicky are the only characters to appear in every season of the show.
- One of Wanda's eyebrows is always down, and the other is up.
- Her name - or disguise as goldfish - may have been based on the rated-R movie, A Fish Called Wanda.

- Another thing revealed in the list of secrets is that she dyes her hair.
- Wanda has 2 Zappy Awards, one from "The Zappys", and a second from "Blondas Have More Fun!".
- She was the only female main character until Chloe's debut.
- As seen in Freaks and Greeks, Wanda holds a wicked temper and tends to yell at working fairies.
- Apparently, she doesn't like watching violent things and prevents Poof from ever watching them (although she didn't mind CC Cruiser).
- She's been calling Timmy sport throughout most of the series, but in an Oh Yeah! Cartoon short, Party of Three!, she called him slugger.
- In the Season 9 episode, Let Sleeper Dogs Lie, she reveals why she calls Timmy sport, because fairies have bad memory, and she always forgets his name.
- Even though she's smart, she can make dumb decisions. Like in Timmy's Secret Wish, she tried to poof up people to help Timmy, but she chooses Dark Laser which was a terrible idea and made it worse. In The Terrible Twosome, she tries to punish Poof even though she knows that Terrible Twos are a rebel stage and making Poof angrier.
