Homebrew Fae Fairy Species Details

While typically small by nature, most fey folk (not including sprites or pixies) can alter their appearance at will using magic or glamor, and can thus adjust their size in accordance with mood, whim, or environment – but I’m going to cap you at a range between six inches and six feet. When at full height, a fairy could almost be mistaken for a high elf if not for their irregular eyes (often entirely black, or with unnaturally large irises in an iridescent rainbow of varying colors) and the wings that unfold from their shoulder blades. Your wings can look however you want them to, and they can be disguised if necessary. Fairies are often supernaturally beautiful, which they use to their advantage to charm and trick the weak-minded. Walking and flying speed depends on the current size of the fairy. Typically chaotic alignment.
