Fairy
Fairies are creatures native to the Feywild with small bodies and insectoid-like wings. They have otherworldly qualities about them, ranging from a slight chill in the air always following them, or the sound of ringing bells faintly playing as they speak. They vary widely in appearance, depending on the type of flower they were born from. However, like all fey, they are bound to the hospitality rules of the Feywild and while in their home plane, they cannot lie.
Basic Information
Anatomy
All fairies are somewhat humanoid in shape, with pointed or double-pointed long ears, insect-like wings, and small stature. Faries range frm 2-3 feet tall, and their phenological characteristics are dependent on the type of flower they were born in. A fairy born from a poinsetta might have green skin, red hair, and a chill in the air ever-present surrounding them, while a fairy born in a lavender flower might have lavender skin and emit a slight glow.
Genetics and Reproduction
Fairies are born from the flowers of the feywild.
Growth Rate & Stages
Fairies possess an incredibly extended lifespan, like the rest of the life in the feywild. Fairies generally live around 1,000 years, give or take a few hundred. They reach maturity at around 100 years old.
Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Like all fey, fairies have an innate connection to the magic of the feywild, and through that, are able to sense any magic belonging to outsiders. Additionally, when on the material plane, fairies are able to recognise other fey around them.
Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
Fairies are first named after the circumstances of their birth/emergence. Some examples could include Summersong, Springborn, or Eveningbloom. Fairies additionally choose a second name, which becomes their primary (first) name, though it generally takes at least a century for them to choose a name that truly fits.
