Homebrew Fairy Species Details
Shy, Playful, Mischievous.
Standing barely a foot tall, fairies resemble diminutive elves with gossamer wings like those of dragonflies or butterflies, bright as the clear dawn and as luminous as the full moonrise. Curious as cats and shy as deer, fairies go where they please. They like to spy on other creatures and can barely contain their excitement around them. The urge to introduce themselves and strike up a friendship is almost overwhelming; only a fairy's fear of being captured or attacked stays its hand. Those who wander through a fairy's glade might never see the creatures, yet hear the occasional giggle, gasp, or sigh. Fairies array themselves like princes and princesses of the fey, wearing flowing gowns and doublets of silk that sparkle like moonlight on a pond. Some dress in acorns, leaves, bark, and the pelts of tiny woodland beasts. They take great pride in their regalia and beam with joy when they are complimented on their ensembles.
