On the Nickelodeon animated television series The Fairly OddParents, Wanda and Cosmo are the married fairy godparents of Timmy Turner, the central character on the show. They disguise themselves in public, and they are distinguished from each other by their coloring: light pink for Wanda, and light green for Cosmo. To protect themselves from detection by Timmy's parents, which would result in their re-assignment to another child, Wanda and Cosmo disguise themselves as goldfish and live in a bowl by Timmy's nightstand. Their voices are performed by Daran Norris and Susanne Blakeslee. For several years, Wanda and Cosmo have been mascots for Nickelodeon Studios, appearing in commercials and program openings.

Biographical Details: The ever-stupid Cosmo and the compassionate Wanda are fairy godparents who grant wishes for their 10-year-old godchild, Timmy Turner, usually with errant results. But they mean well, and Timmy loves them very much. And they love him like a son. Not much is known on Cosmo & Wanda's past, but here's what is known. In a much earlier time, Wanda, who is rumored to have killed the dinosaurs, had been dating the sexy fairy Juandissimo Magnifico. It is unknown what happened between them, but Juandissimo obviously did something that upset Wanda so much she broke up with him. Juandissimo's been pining for her ever since. Cosmo apparently fell in love with Wanda for her intelligence, and Wanda loved him because he was cute. But although Cosmo got the guts to propose, his mother, Mama Cosma, really disliked Wanda (she didn't like the idea of Cosmo settling down). In order to elope with Wanda, Cosmo ran away from home, telling his mother that he was going out to buy milk. By the episode "Apartnership!", Cosmo & Wanda have been married for 9,895 years. A lot of things may have happened to them during that period, but most of them are never known. What we do know is that they served as fairy godparents for Denzel Crocker in the early 1970's. Unfortunately, an incident involving their selves from thirty years later caused poor Denzel's secret to be revealed, and they were taken away from him. Their next assignment was evidently young Bill Gates. Their time to care for Timmy Turner came about a year after Vicky the Babysitter started babysitting (and terrorizing) him. They showed up via Timmy's Magic 9 Ball that he had just smashed. At first, Timmy wasn't so positive about meeting Cosmo & Wanda, but after his first day with them, Timmy loved them like they were his best friends. Being Timmy's fairy godparents, Cosmo & Wanda usually transform into various animals and objects to avoid being seen by other people. Their most common disguise is as Timmy's pet goldfish.
Historical Facts: Cosmo was originally envisioned as a fat, bald, lazy slob, and the formerly frumpy Wanda's name was originally going to be Venus. On the "Oh Yeah!" shorts, Cosmo had a more "game show sort of thing" voice that sounds rather smart compared to the moronic, silly tone he has today. Cosmo's anti-fairy counterpart, who is an intelligent yet evil gentleman, once tried to make Timmy too happy to have fairy godparents.
Little Known Secrets: All of Cosmo's unfortunate pets in the episode "Sleepover and Over" seem to be named after "Jimmy Neutron" characters: Carl the Ant; Cindy the Bee; and Jimmy the Cat. Wanda has a chocolate obsession, and she won't travel without makeup.
Working Theories: none
