Fairy

Fairy's are not born from two parents like other creatures, they simply come in to existence, fully formed in an instant. A fairy awakens within a blossoming flower. As water rushes over the edge of a cliff a fey spirit emerges from the falling brook. Children dance around a fire in celebration of midsummers and a spritely creature dances within the flames. All fairies come into existence in their own way. Because of their near-eternal lifespans, Fairies have many secrets that they have collected over the years such as historical events, scandals, deeds of good and evil. However it is very difficult to get these secrets from Fairies, they often times must be tricked into doing so, or if they grow a deep bond with someone, they may reveal some occasionally. Fairies are curious creatures and obsess over finding out more about anything that strikes their fancy, playing with a child in a family they have watched for years, exploring the streets of a town at night, or exploring the depths of the darkest caves.

Fairy villages reside in places of natural beauty, building villages with whatever they can find around them in hidden groves and enclaves. Common fairy activities include watching over animal and plants, playing tricks, and gathering resources such as nuts and twigs. Fairies are masters of enchantments, creating magical items of legend. It is seldom known to see a fairy far from its village, with the exception of those to chose to explore the world as adventurers, but even those are rare.

Fairies have a unique naming system, they have two names like other humanoids. What set the names of these fae sprits is the way in which they receive their names.   The first name that a fairy receives is their fae name, which is given based off of how the fairy was born (Ex: a fairy born out of a flower in the morning could take the name of Morningblossom).   The second name a fairy receives is its common name, this is usually given on their first birthday by an important non fairy member if their community. The name is then used as their common first name and the first name they were given becomes their second and usually not one they give freely which is where the belief of not giving your full name to a fairy comes from.

A fairy’s clothing always displays an affiliation with their element by means of colour, motifs, symbols, and/or accessories. It is always very home made looking and often made by themselves.

Fairies are hard to befriend, they often times don't realize the limits placed upon mortals, and as such are often reckless and carefree. It takes time to form a real bond with a Fairy. Fairies joke about everything, and it can be difficult to deal with them at first, but once you get past the trickery and actually start to play along is what will form a true friendship. However, taking the time to do so is worth all the effort as they are driven by loyalty to those they care about.
