Fairies

Fairies are magical creatures who usually have insect-like wings.

Nature
While a fairy's personality can vary, most if not all can be extremely vicious if angered. Anyone who speaks rudely to a fairy or insults them will receive a horrible curse like Emma's family curse from the Swamp Fairy. They are also easily angered and vengeful, making them very dangerous. A man who picked a flower for his love angered the fairy who was sleeping in it, completely unaware of the fairy in the first place. She turned him into a chipmunk in revenge.

Fairies can be very selfish which is shown when they left Emma and Eadric's wedding because of the troll attack, even though they could have helped. Fairies also love babies and some will even steal children, replacing the stolen child with a changeling( a fairy creature or block of wood glamoured to look like a child).

Appearance
Fairies are human in appearance but can be distinguished from mortals by their pointy ear tips. Their skin and eyes usually come in the same range of hues as humans but their hair is usually an otherworldly shade like blue, green or pink. Flower fairies in particular, have hair the colours of various flowers. Fairies also vary widely in height with some as tall as the average human while others could be smaller than a thumb. However, some of the more powerful fairies can change their size. Fairies also adorn themselves in clothing crafted from natural materials, the most common being plants, flowers, leaves and strands of grass. They are also covered in fairy dust. This feature irritates Queen Chartreuse as it leaves a mess whenever fairies visit.

A fairy's most famous characteristic is her wings which are usually similar to an insect's wings like dragonflies and butterflies. Yet not all fairies have them. The fairies capable of growing bigger in size will sometimes lose their wings but they will return once they revert to their small size, in the case of Poison Ivy. According to the lore in "Fairy Wings", a fairy's wings never change colour and are not strong enough to support them when they are in human size. A half-fairy's wings are different. They can change colour like an opal and are much bigger and stronger, allowing them to fly even when they are the size of a human.

Culture
Fairies often hold nightly revels and parties, the biggest and most important being the Midsummer Night's revelries. Fairies hold their celebrations in fairy rings, circles of mushrooms, toadstools or grass. It is also polite for royalty to invite every fairy in the kingdom to a royal wedding. Failure to do so may incur their wrath.
