Zephyrites (Ze-Fy-Ri-t)
A subspecies of Butterflies and Fae that is well known as a mischievous species that lives in the forest. They use mana as a form of sustenance and also use mana for all other purposes.

It is essentially a digestive system for mana that almost no other species have. With this system they can utilize mana for any number of things.
They create a pair of wings with mana that they use for movement. The wings change shape depending on the mood and emotions of the Zephyrites. This makes the colors of the wing be in a constant shift from one to the other giving forth a beautiful shift. Along with the wings, the Zephyrites can also create sounds and paired with how they fly and the colorful wings, the result is a dance with melodies and colorful glows.
They are often seen near a special sentient tree species known as Zephyridite , that act as a home for the Zephyrites, commonly referred to a the Zephyrite's Home . The butterflies and the The tree has an understanding of the surroundings, and using these Zephyridite instructs Zephyrites to do jobs. By doing said jobs the Zephyrites obtain a form of mana that the race considers to be "Delicious".
The Zephyrites elects a leader among them to communicate with the tree allowing them to understand what the tree desires. This leader figure is capable of communication with languages but only using simple words like 'yes' or 'no' which it makes using mana.
Zephyrites are well known as pranksters often doing various pranks on unsuspecting fellows. These range from disappearing objects that their targets have via light magic, invoking a sense of somebody tickling them and even becoming similar to their target of prank via illusion magic and confusing them. That said the race is not an inherently evil race and will often will their target be if said target is displaying too strong of an emotion.
Very few people become close to the race as they like having pranks and dislike people doing scientific experiments on them. However those that becomes good friends are always good natured souls as the species can easily differentiate between those that have malicious thoughts and those that do not. Whether this be due to how they see mana or something else, remains to be seen.
