Fairies

Fairies
A fairy is a small, humanoid creature of magic that represents some aspect of nature. Most of them are also simple-minded.

A fairy may have abilities relating to the four seasons, weather, emotions, longevity, decay, fertility, or other aspects of nature and life. The power exercised by a single fairy is usually harmless and small scale, so they're more suited to playing around rather than causing major events. Fortunately, most fairies are easily amused by pulling pranks on unsuspecting humans and Yokai. Fairies tend to gather in areas frequented by humans and youkai.

Fairies spring forth from their aspect, and as long as that aspect is preserved, they can regenerate upon death. On the other hand, if that nature is lost, the fairies who spring forth from that disappear forever. Most fairies are small enough to fit in the palm, but very old ones who have regenerated for long times or represent huge sources of nature are older and larger, these Fae are known as Great Fae. Food is not a requirement but can still be enjoyed.

The Fae population is mostly female.
