Fairy
Fairies are among the smallest sentient species in Elema—delicate in size but vibrant in spirit. Without their wings, you might mistake them for miniature elves, but those four beautiful, patterned wings that bloom from their backs are unmistakably fairy. Lighthearted and magical, Fairies are known for following their whims, often flitting between curiosity and mischief with joyful unpredictability.
Their lives are deeply interwoven with magic, which seems to come as naturally to them as breathing. Many liken them to Elves in terms of magical affinity, but while Elves study magic, Fairies live it. If you meet one, be ready for surprises—because with a Fairy, you never quite know what’s coming next.
