Homebrew Fairy (Winx) Species Details

"You found your inner dragon, and now you've unlocked your deepest source of power. And for that, you should be very proud of yourself. You came to Pyros looking for more strength. But because of your courage, what you ended up finding was even bigger than any magical power you could ever have. Listen. You are finding yourself and there is nothing more powerful than that.

— Maia, The Chief Elder of Pyros.

 

Otherworldy Perspective

The Fairies are magical creatures living throughout the Magic Dimension. The Fairy Race lives throughout many realms and many planets. They are the magical opposite of hags. Fairies use their powers for good, protect the Magic Dimension from the forces of evil, and work to help others. However some fairies use their powers for evil or ally with dark forces for selfish means, and others, while not necessarily evil, stray to the dark side and do bad things, such as seek vengeance or have a lust for power. Some of these Fairies become Dark Fairies.

All fairies are mostly human in appearance with some being composed of pure energy or resembling animals or elves. Fairies usually wear colorful clothing to reflect their light magic, but some have been shown to wear dark Gothic clothing. While most known fairies are female, male fairies do exist.

Timeless Nature

The nine Nymphs of Magix ruled the fate of the Magic Dimension after the disappearance of the Great Dragon. Long ago, seven Ancestral Fairies crossed over from the Legendarium World and spread their magic throughout all the worlds in the Magic Dimension, including Faerun. Other ancient, all-powerful fairies such as Arcadia, the first fairy, and the Ethereal Fairies, the guardians of the Gifts of Destiny, live outside of space and time.

In ancient times, Faerun was also protected by Fairies, but then the Wizards of the Black Circle found a way to resist the fairies' magic and absorb it. Thus began the Great Fairy Hunt which lasted for centuries. The absence of fairy magic allowed pestilence, wars, and hatred to instill upon Faerun.

Inner Power

Fairies' abilities are limited in their civilian forms. To increase their magical abilities, they transform into fairies and are able to use their powers with greater ease, gain wings, and new clothes and accessories. There are standard fairy levels, which are gained during a fairy's formal education journey to become a full-fledged fairy, and an infinite number of higher fairy levels and acquired powers meant for specific situations.

The source of power of Fairies are the light aspects of magic such as positive feelings typically related to a specific theme or aspect of life, such as war, love, wisdom, nature, music and water. Just like witches, each fairy has a specific power. The magic of every fairy is fueled by their positive feelings such as happiness, love, etc. Fairies are able to fly but only when they are transformed.
