Fey Folk Names

The fey folk, are almost always named after different plants in nature. These names are then chosen by the fey folk child themselves soon after birth. Since the fey folk are so attune to nature once the child is born, a certain type of flora or plant begins to bloom or sprout around the child. This is the name that the child will have for the rest of its life.

Nature's Whimsey

Fey folk always have a carefree attitude and wish to simply enjoy their lives. Once they hit adulthood they no longer age so they have to find a way to pass their seemingly infinite years. Fey folk typically do not stay in one place for too long, they have short attention spans, and love to explore. They are the true embodiment of nature's ability to change in an instant. While they can make themselves invisible if they touch a nutrient-rich surface they flower or plant that grew alongside them at birth with burst into bloom. It is said that if you obtain a flower in this way it is good luck until it wilts.
