Description "La bella bambina dai capelli turchini fa raccogliere il burattino, lo mette a letto e chiama tre medici per sapere se sia vivo o morto" (Pinocchio chap. XVI)

("The beautiful little girl with blue hair has Pinocchio saved, puts him in bed, and calls three doctors to ensure whether he is dead or alive")

I still have some doubts on what kind of blue shade 'turchino' is, but i have always believed it was a kind of blue shade fading into a violet. So I used a kind of violet for her hair. Apparently in English, the equivalent for "turchino" blue is "bice blue", however the acknowledged translation for "Fata Turchina" is The Blue Fairy and a translation like "Bice Blue Fairy" or "Bice hair" would sound really weird!
We are also used to seeing the Blue Fairy in her grown up version but at the beginning of the story the fairy is still a little child; later on she grows up as the story develops. And the three doctors in the book are an owl, a crow and, last but not the least, the famous cricket.

His hair must feel so soft and fluffy! The Blue Fairy is fortunate to touch it! Can I dig my fingers into Pinocchio's hair plz?
