Homebrew Fairy Species Details

Fairies are derived from fey bloodlines. However, their heritage has is much purer than that of the elves. The most prominent trait of a fairy are their wings.  The wings age as the fairy age, and until a fairy's wings are fully grown their magic is greatly stunted.  Although some clothing in the fairy's homeland are created to showcase these beautiful wings, many fairies in the material plane choose to hide these wings due to fear of having them forcefully stolen and sold.  A fairy's ears are similar to that of an elf; however, much smaller and the rest of their body looks rather human.  However; their eyes shine brighter than any race due to their pure blood, these colors can be normal blue, brown, or green; or they can be bright gold, silver, even pink.  Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include veins of light blue or green.  Their hair, cascading down is usually light, from golden to silver to normal human colors; however, it is incredibly rare to see one with black hair.
