Fairy

Fairies, or the proper term, Fae, are a distinct race from Myths, predating them yet living in relative harmony with them. Denoted by their tiny true forms and youthful, if not childish features and large insect wings, the Fae are reclusive and only a few exceptions exist where they interact willingly with the outside world.
==Physiology==
Despite what one would believe, while it is true that Fae can be considered physically weak, they aren't as weak as one assumes them to be. Rather, it's not that Fae aren't physically powerful, it's that Fae believe themselves better than having to resort to physical strength to solve problems. Magic is an innate part of their being, as it is granted to them at birth, due to their nature of being 'blessed' by Titania.
Most Fae are thin and youthful, if not childlike in figure, but they can freely portray themselves however they wish, moreso with Echo New Worlds, who often breed with Shapeshifters to create hybrids that marry the magical powers and the freedom of form of the Fairies and Shapeshifters. Fae are one of the original creators of Hexes and Curses, often deploying them for self centered or childish reasons, but the more premeditated curses tend to come from older, more seasoned Fae that know how to best wield their powers.
Due to their bond with nature, they are skilled at protecting it and encouraging it to flourish, while beasts rarely if ever are willing to bare their fangs against them for any reason. Fae with notable power have the ability to kidnap and convert mortals into new Fae at their leisure, their magics are well known for their potent charms and ability to impart their will unto others.
==Types==
===Ancient - Reverie Bound===
The most common of Fae found within the confines of Ildathach, these Fae are born through either pairing or conversion of mortals into new Fae via the Reverie, a mysterious phenomena unique to the realm that makes mortals cast off their attachments and inhibitions, and transforms them into beings only vaguely similar to their base. They possess great power compared to mortals but are the weakest of Fae.
===Ancient - Independent===
A less common type of Ancient breed, these are Fae that are converted or born but not attached to the Reverie like their kin, finding them too distant and aloof, instead seeking out other independent Fae. Beyond their social differences from Reverie Bound fae, they are power wise, no different.
===Ancient - Elder===
The progeny of Titania, the eternal Queen of Fae, they are fae whose bloodlines have existed for eons, composing much of the Noble Houses of Ildathach. They possess unique powers and more often than not are leagues above the rest of Fae kind in power, even powerful beings of other races would aknowledge the Elder Fae as superior to themselves, for they are the flesh and blood sired by a being older than worlds, whose power is spoken rarely of, but unquestionably vast.
===New World - Echo===
Once, a select few Elder Fae and Independent Fae crossed the boundaries of the world and came upon the world of Echo, and settled there. Intermingling with the gods, their progeny gave rise to eight distinct fae clans, Light, Dark, Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, Wind, and Ice. They possess strong souls and some rare individuals can reach the heights of Elders, and should they cross into Ildathach, may be granted the status rarely given, Elder Fae Lord.
===New World - Common===
The majority of Fae described in multiple universes and worlds seem to fall into a generic category, likely travelers from Ildathach that settled there, developing distinctly from the Ancient line, yet echoes of their past alignment remain.
