You're a child of the Feywild, having either been born in these mystic lands of brought to it when you were young (maybe you were stolen from the Material Plane by a Fey creature or left by your parents). Either way, you've grown up in the majestic and dangerous realm of the Fey. Whether you are of actual Fey descent is one question, but, you've been raised by or around the Fey, so you likely grew up to be independent, a bit whimsical and very resourceful.
This version of this background is created by me but to be an updated product of the one created by FrogOnFern.

Being raised in the Feywild, you are more likely to notice when things are as they seem. You have an advantage on all Insight and Perception checks when asking for information or looking for potential danger.
Suggested Characteristics
As a child of the Feywild, you are equally as whimsical and fun-loving as you are sharp and cunning. You may enjoy playing harmless pranks and causing mischief to those you encounter or maybe you enjoy being one of the few helpful beings in the Feywild, doing what you wish others had done for you and aiding those who are lost and in need of direction. People of the Feywild are unpredictable and full of complexities, which can make them deceitful and malevolent at worst or graceful and benevolent at best.

|---|---|
| 1 | I love to play tricks on those I know and meet. I always get a kick out of their reactions, both good and bad. |
| 2 | I like to change the type of person I present as at any given moment. It's fun to be unpredictable. |

| 5 | I like to be treated according to how powerful I am, with fear and respect. I should not be underestimated and will take it as an insult if I am. |
| 6 | I find boredom rather quickly and am always seeking new forms of entertainment and satisfaction. It baffles me how some mortals live such linear and static lives. |
| d8 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Freedom. All creatures should be allowed to live the way they want and do as they please. Life is precious and should be lived to its fullest, anything less than that is a waste. (Good, Chaotic) |

| d6 | Bond |
|---|---|
| 1 | I do not owe anything to anyone but myself. Whether it be honestly, loyalty, or kindness, I do not feel obligated to give it to anyone that isn’t me. I am my greatest and only ally. |
| 2 | I never felt like I belonged in the Feywild. The Fey have only excluded me and caused me heartache and loneliness. I want to find a place where I feel like I belong. |
| 3 | I am bound to a contract or deal with a Fey that I cannot make good on. I must find a way to free myself before it’s too late. |
| 4 | I am in search of a creature or person who has greatly wronged me, I will not rest until I’ve sought my revenge. |
| 5 | I am looking for new adventures and experiences that the Feywild cannot give me. I’m hoping the Material Plane will bring me such satisfaction. |
| 6 | My home in the Feywilds has fallen victim to some form of corruption or dark magic. I am seeking help in the Material Plane in hopes that I can find a way to put a stop to the evil and save others from suffering the same fate. |
| d6 | Flaw |
|---|---|
| 1 | I am overly cautious when meeting new people and making deals. Trusting others doesn’t come easily to me and I almost always suspect an ulterior motive or trick is at play. |
| 2 | I am impulsive with little to no patience. I often do things without thinking in order to meet my desires and satisfy my curiosity. |
| 3 | I am vengeful and almost always hold a grudge, even for the most simple of offenses. I am slow to forgive and remember everyone who has wronged me or those close to me. |
| 4 | I am selfish and inconsiderate of others and almost never take into consideration the feelings of those around me when I do or say things. |
| 5 | I view myself as superior to others because of my origins and am oftentimes arrogant and prejudiced against those I consider of lesser backgrounds, skill, and race. |
| 6 | I am oftentimes in search of more satisfaction and fulfillment in life. I don’t know how to take what I have and be happy with it. Nothing ever feels like it’s enough for me. |
