Fairy Yokai

**Fairy Yokai** are magical beings who are miniature in size.

## Physical Appearance

Fairy Yokai has the appearance of a human. But they have pointy ears and bug-like wings on their backs. They're also much smaller than the average human but are 2 inches taller then the Pixie Yokai.

## Description

Fairies live in nature. They inhabit forest areas of the Hidden World. They also can live in the Surface World thanks to their small stature. They're known for their knowledge of nature. Doing whatever they could to protect the animals from poachers who wants to sell the animals off to the Hidden Black Market. Although they can use magic to create "glimmers" around their bodies to make them appear larger or smaller if they desired. And despite their size, fairies are capable of and unashamedly practice mating with larger beings and are biologically compatible with humanoid races such as humans, elves and halflings. Children of liaisons between female humanoids and male fairies can not be physically distinguished from their mother's race, however, their mannerisms, intelligence and natural perceptions as they grow into adulthood may be considered more developed or "eccentric" than what would be considered normal for their race.
