This gives you proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Intimidation, Persuasion, Deception.

Dark Vision

Faeries are twilight creatures. They wake up when the shadows grow long, and go to sleep before the sun rises. Accustomed to the twilight, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Fey Ancestry

You have an advantage on saving throws against being Charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

As a fey, you also have the ability to cast Faerie Fire and you can Dominate Person once per long rest without expending a spell slot.

Heightened Senses

You are proficient in the Perception skill.

Primal Mark

Your claws and teeth are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal piercing or slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Dexterity modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
