Comforts

A type of sprite that adores possessing objects of sentimental value - often choosing blankets, plush toys, and other soft items to interact with mortals. There have been some cases involving rings or jewelry, but this results in backlash and removal of the sprite most times this happens. If an object does not have a form that can function and move, such as blankets or rings, they'll take up more items to put themselves together. They tend to take the form of a domesticated animal whenever possible. Comforts typically reward those they come to favor with coins, berries, fruits, and completing small chores- such as sweeping the floor, making the bed, or cleaning clothes. Its believed they're the cause of many "misplaced" or "lost" objects. They don't seem to understand what stealing is.
== Habitat ==
Most commonly sighted in little rural towns - though there have been cases of the occasional traveling trader or small groups with a comfort in their company. They are rarely seen in the wilds or larger cities, and may only be in such a place because of unfortunate circumstances.
== Biology ==
At times they'll find themselves in need of repair or newer parts, and will seek out beings of the best profession suited for the task. They are capable of very simple speech, similar to that of a child's understanding. Their voices also sound much like children, which leads some to believe they were once human. The stability of their form depends on the object(s) they're made out of. However if the item(s) containing them have a high level of sentimental value to their companion, they are more capable of surviving damages regardless of how severe they may be. They don't seem to need to eat to survive, but do enjoy the act anyway - especially if it involves baked sweets.
== Sociability ==
Are friendly towards other beings, for better or for worse. Comforts never appear more than one at a time and its rare for them to encounter others without influence of their chosen family. Once they appear and take a proper form, they are loyal to the family that owned the object(s) they took. They prefer making friends with humble farming families, specifically their children, as most others will work to remove the sprite. Those who give them a chance, will find they are honest and charismatic beings who are only in search of a family and home. Comforts try to avoid fights the best they can. However if someone they care for is in danger, they will do everything in their limited power to help them escape and get home safely.
