Crossword Genius

Killer bent on corrupting fairy (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tinker bell

'fairy' is the definition.
(fairy in the novel Peter Pan)

'killer bent on corrupting' is the wordplay.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'corrupting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'killer'+'bent'='killerbent'
'killerbent' with letters rearranged gives 'TINKER BELL'.

(Another definition for tinker bell that I've seen is " Fairy in Peter Pan".)
