Homebrew Faeling Species Details

Faelings were once humans or their ancestors were once humans. they have since been shifted and changed by the Chaotic magic of the Fey and the Feywilds. Small but able to fly these creature frolic and play just like the full blooded fey that they were created in the image of. Just like their elf cousins they live among nature and delight in it. They enjoy song and dance just as much as the elves but their songs lack the aged grace that the elves have.

Playful Appearances:

A Faelings appearance varies as much as their songs and dance. They resemble mostly the small pixies with wings and colorful skin. Their skin varies in tone from light, pastel colors to very rich, vibrant tones but none of the colors are dark in hue. Their wings vary just as much too; the vary from butterfly to dragonfly to even bird wings and have just color to them. They tend to range from 2.5 feet to 3.5 feet and weigh about 30 pounds when fully grown. 

Vibrant Outlooks:

Living to about 200 years old, a Faeling tries to fill most of that with positive and joyful play. They feel emotions that are just as bright as their appearances and swing just as much and as often. This vibrant emotion range leads a Faeling to have a natural curiosity and this curiosity drives them towards adventure. The only thing is, this vibrant and swinging emotions does give way to a fleeting attention span. As soon as a Faeling sees the light dimming in their fancy they move on to something else. The swing of their emotions creates short tempers and the eire of their anger soon regrets it. 

Nature Dwellers: 

Faelings live in hidden groves among forests and flower filled meadows. these hidden groves are just as vibrant as the Faelings themselves. Most people never see the groves but only meet the Faeling while they are exploring the world around it. They aren't known for there craftsmanship but they are known for their agricultural prowess. A Faeling can grow almost anything and whatever they grow is the biggest and brightest it can be.
