Homebrew Fairy Species Details

Tiny And Beautiful

 

Descended from the fey, fairies live in small communities of nature. Most fairies live in trees or mushrooms, but some venture out into civilization and find a larger roommate or fashion themselves a home in a small object, such as a birdhouse.  Fairies are usually not respected by the other races, put off as being small and weak. Fairies can be great warriors however, and make for great companions in battle, being able to flit around the enemy. 

Fairies usually have skin reflecting the colors of leaves, with butterfly wings of similar colors. They always have long hair filled with twigs, leaves and acorns and wear clothes of the same fashion. 

Great Adventurers 

Fairies live well over 100 years and want to spend their whole life discovering new things and doing what they love. Fairies do not cover much ground on foot, so they spend most of their life flying. While flying, fairies can travel the same distances as any other races, so there really is no need to travel any other way, though fairies sometimes befriend passing birds  for a free ride and some time to rest their wings.  

 

Hidden Woodland Realms

Fairies are kindhearted and funny, constantly playing pranks on their friends. Their emotions change like the seasons, and if anyone attacks their friends they will not hold back. They are loyal to a fault and will never betray their friends, even if they were hurt by them.
