Fairy

The most notable and likely the most common inhabitants of the realm of Faegard are the Fairies, beautiful women with the colorful wings of a butterfly, although they seldom show themselves to outsiders. Fairies have innate magical powers, among which their most utilized is the Shrink spell. Although their natural form is the size of a human, Fairies spend much of their time shrunk down to a few inches. They regard the world on their small level as mysterious and adventurous, and so they play games of make-belief with the things they find around them.

A Fairy's life focuses around playing games and having fun, involving themselves with other Fae and even some wildlife. They play their games with humans as well, usually without asking. Fairies are fascinated with humans and regard our alien activities as being games, which they often attempt to participate in. Fairies are also fond of ransacking through the belongings of humans with no regard their right to personal property, taking anything they find particularly interesting.

While Fairies can be an annoyance, they are also harmless... as long as they are not provoked. Anyone foolish enough to strike out at a Fairy in an attempt to harm it will be made to play a more dangerous game of the Fairy's liking. Not only is a Fairy capable of using the Shrink spell on herself, she's also perfectly capable of using it on others. A provoked Fairy will respond to hostility by shrinking their attacker down to their own size, usually coaxing them into playing one of their more exhausting games under the promise of changing them back. Sometimes, a Fairy will even grow to regular size and play with their victim as though they were a doll. The time a man spends shrunken down contrasts with how much harm he intended the Fairy or her environment. Their mocking games can go on for hours, buts there are some accounts that tell of people entering the Faegard with the explicit intent of capturing or killing Fairies for sport or profit. These people often never return from their outings. Many people believe the Fairies won't let them.
