Fairy Physiology

The power to use the abilities of faeries. Variation of Mythic Physiology.
==Also Called==
* Fae/Faerie/Faery/Fair Folk/Fairie/Fay/Fey Mimicry/Physiology
==Capabilities==
User with this ability either is or can transform into a fairy, a supernatural being that is either a nature spirit, a pagan god, an angel aligned with neither Heaven nor Hell, or something completely else. The way this power manifests varies greatly, but among the possibilities are pointed ears, unusual coloring (hair, skin and/or eyes), and animalistic features (horns, animal ears or eyes, tail, antennae, etc.). Others change their size, manifest sigils over their body, produce an ethereal glow or have no changes at all. Faeries are among the most variable known beings. In terms of morality users can be good or evil but are most commonly neutral.
For practical reasons faeries can be divided into three groups defined by what they are formed from:
Physical Faeries: Not necessarily solid matter, but they are material/energy beings with a relatively defined/stable form and often at least a somewhat human-like mind. Most users that aren't originally of faery stock have this variation. Note that faeries of this group aren't necessarily any weaker than those of the other groups. They are simply more "solid" in mind and body.
Spiritual Faeries: They are completely spiritual beings, and thus far less bound to the "Material World". Many of them think in ways that are only tangentially relatable to humans, and their forms are both transient and often downright surreal.
Ethereal Faeries: They are often both the most powerful and ancient faeries, in some ways closer to sentient concepts representing aspects of nature than anything else. As such, relating to them in any way is likely impossible.
Furthermore, fairies are divided into three distinct families:
*Fairies (The term used for most fairies in folklore and fantasy, being spirits of nature and/or lesser deities)
*Undead Fairies (The idea of fairies as spirits of the dead; this is an ancient belief that went hand-in-hand with the nature spirit belief.)
*Demonic Fairies (The idea of fairies as demonic entities; while this idea spread further due to monotheistic resistance to nature and ancestral worship, there have always been malicious entities akin to what the modern world would see as demons within the complicated world of fairy kind.)

==Variations==
Fairies are highly variable, and many are completely unique, but several broad groups exist:
Elves (Also Alfar, Alpen, etc.): Likely to create/live in their own communities, nations and states: either fairies, close relatives of fairies, or humanoids with exceptional lifespans and magical inclination.
Forest/Sylvan Fairies (including Dryads, Leshy/Leshachikha/Leshonky (male/female/child), Wild Men/Women): Often have some animal or plant-like features, may be solitary or form their own communities. They are powerful and territorial.
*Animal Manipulation, Confusion Inducement, Illusion Manipulation, Plant Manipulation, some can use Weather Manipulation. Most powerful may have Forest Manipulation.
Little People (including Leprechauns, Pech, Pixies): Small, but with startlingly broad magical powers. They often form small communities and enjoy tricking mortals, especially if they are drunkards, bad tempered, lazy or proud. 
*Nature Manipulation, Confusion Inducement, Illusion Manipulation, some can fly with or without wings.
*Leprechaun Physiology
*Pixie Physiology
Mountain Fairies (including Gwyllions, Knockers, Korreds/Korrigans (male/female), Mimi, Oreads, Vila (Wila, Wili or Veela)): Relatively human-like fairies dwelling on and in mountains and hills. Territorial, but may be willing to make a deal with a respectful mortal.
*Earth Manipulation, often Air Manipulation for those who don't live underground. Most powerful may have Cave Manipulation and/or Mountain Manipulation.
Nymphs (Including Dryads, Oreads, Naiads, Nereids): Spirits/minor deities who animate nature. Beautiful, often female nature entities, either bound to a particular location or landform or servants/retinue of more powerful being, often a major deity.
Water Fairies (Include Asrai, Naiads, Neck/Nixie, Nereids, Tritons): Often female. Many are seducers of mortals. Some are willing to mate with mortals (several families claim one in their ancestry). Others are only trying to lure humans closer to the water to drown them.
