Homebrew Faerie Species Details

Faeries are a humanoid race ranging in size from tiny to medium. They appear mostly human, save for a pair of colorful, translucent wings. Faeries fly using magic and the size of their wings represents their magical affinity. Faeries have very pale skin and glow faintly, their hair and eyes can be any color but tend to be bright and vibrant. Faeries are generally good, but can be very playful and have a bit of a mean streak.
