Homebrew Fairy Species Details

 

Fairies come from the mystical realm of the Darkwood. Small and mischievous in nature, Fairies are good at heart, guiding lost souls to their destinations within the Darkwood. 

Heirs to Fairy Magic

Fairies are born with a certain amount of magical influence over things such as luck and emotions. 

Fairies typically have oddly tinged skin colors, looking like normal flesh but with a subtle coloration (blue, green copper etc.)

They have wings that resemble butterflies or dragonflies that they use to fly around but typically keep hidden in public. They stand from 2 and a half feet tall to 3 feet tall, weighing on average 40-60 lbs. Most often they have bright hair colors (red, pink, blue, green, etc.)

 

Wild and Confident

Fairies rarely lack confidence, seeing themselves as equal to almost any challenge in their path. This certainty might manifest as graceful self-assurance in one Fairy and as arrogance in another. Such self- confidence can sometimes blind Fairies to risk, and their great plans often get them and others into trouble.

The Darkwood

 

All Fairies come from the Darkwood, and as such most know of eachother. There is only one city in the Darkwood, known as Faeton.
