Tael

is a Fairy in . He is the younger brother of Tatl. He is a deep purple in color, vastly different from the bright hue appearance of most other Fairies.
==Biography==
Prior to the events of , Tatl and Tael were flying around Termina Field looking for shelter on a stormy day. They suddenly find a lonely Skull Kid under a log, shivering. Tael and his sister soon become friends with him, and when the Skull Kid began to show his mischievous side, the two Fairies decided to follow through it. At the beginning of , they follow the Skull Kid, now wearing the evil Majora's Mask, to the Lost Woods, where Tael and Tatl ambush and startle Epona, causing Link, the Hero of Time, who was on a quest of searching for Navi, to fall off unconscious. Skull Kid then proceeds to steal Link's , in which he wanted to try playing the instrument but Tatl scolds him. When Link wakes up, the Skull Kid escapes with Tael and Tatl as they ride away on Epona. After Link is transformed into a Deku Scrub, Tatl gets in his way to impede him from going after the Skull Kid, which causes her to get separated from both Skull Kid and her brother. Tael does not appear again until Link and Tatl venture to the top of the Clock Tower on the Final Day, where they find him and Skull Kid. 
It is through Tael that Link and Tatl discover that the Four Giants are needed to stop the Majora's Mask-possessed Skull Kid and Termina from its impending doom. Skull Kid, however, hits Tael for speaking out of line, angering Tatl. After Link calls upon the Four Giants using the Oath to Order, Tael and his sister are finally reunited until Majora's Mask detaches itself from the Skull Kid and travels to the inside of the Moon. Link then decides to go after the Mask to destroy it. In an act of bravery, Tael decides to accompany the young hero to the Moon since, as he does not want to be always running away. Tael is however stopped by Tatl, who goes in his stead.
Eventually Link, with the aid of Tatl, successfully free the Skull Kid from the influence of Majora's Mask by eliminating Majora itself in a rough battle, allowing the two sibling Fairies to be friends with the Skull Kid once again. After Tatl says her goodbyes to Link in a rocky manner, Tael can be last seen comforting his sister.
==Personality==
Unlike his older sister Tatl, Tael has a more innocent and timid personality, unable to stand up to the Skull Kid's constant abuse. Tael also understands better than Tatl all the suffering that the Skull Kid has gone through and why he does such terrible things. While Tatl blames Skull Kid's weak will and him having no strength of heart for his actions, Tael realizes that it was Majora's Mask itself that made their friend act that way.
==Trivia==
*Tael's dark color scheme is unique for a Fairy, most of which give off a white or gently hued light. He is the only Fairy in the entire The Legend of Zelda series to appear this way, possibly because he is male. This coloration seems deliberately in contrast with the light color scheme of his sister, Tatl, as well as Navi in Ocarina of Time.
*Tael, like Tatl, expresses himself with bell-like noises, but in a slightly lower pitch.
*In the beta version of Majora's Mask, Tael was originally white with a purple glow around him.
*Tael and Leaf from are the only known male Fairies in the franchise.
==Nomenclature==
Tael and his sister's names are puns off the word "tattletale."
