Homebrew Fairy Species Details

While typically small by nature, fairies can alter their appearance at will using magic and can thus adjust their size in accordance with mood, whim, or environment – you have a base Tiny height and base Medium height that you can switch between. When at full height, a fairy could almost be mistaken for an Elf if not for their irregular eyes (often entirely black, or with unnaturally large irises in an iridescent rainbow of varying colors) and the insect like wings that unfold from their shoulder blades. Fairies are often supernaturally beautiful, which they use to their advantage to charm and trick the weak-minded. Typically chaotic alignment.

History and Society

In a time long past, most fey could only be found in the Feywilds, a seperate dimension that closely resembles the material plane but with out the constructs and influence of man. Little is known about how Fairies came to be, but it is believed that they are born straight from the Feywilds and possess natural magic from it allowing them to transfer between the two worlds. Liking the civilized culture of the material plane, Fairies grew accustomed to the life and prefer it more than the Feywilds. However, they all have a distinct connection to the natural world.
