Sprites
Some believe that sprites were originally fairies who wandered into the Material plane and grew larger here to adapt, others believe that they are an unrelated to the fairies, except for their fae heritage, and that they fled to the material plane to seek refuge from some powerful force. Regardless of how they came to be here the minuscule fae folk of the sprite race have come to call the material plane their home alongside many other races.
Tricksters
Though the majority of them have lived their whole lives in the Material plane, many of them still have the chaotic and tricksterly streak from their original plane. Despite that they are usually quite friendly and passive, a trait necessary when your closest neighbours don’t tend to share your chaotic streak. They tend to have their own, self-sufficient, villages hidden just out of sight from most, despite wanting to keep the exact location of their villages hidden from the 'larger folk' they don't tend to be too far from another village or town. In these places spotting a sprite is not such an uncommon experience, especially as they may come offering trade for some items and supplies. To ensure they do not burn their bridges with the towns people they make sure not to cause any true harm in their pranks and will often leave behind gifts for the targets of their antics.
Wings
A sprites roll in their society is decided by their wings, oddly enough the type of wings a sprite possess seems to be entirely random and not impacted by their parents’ wing types. sprites wing mostly resemble different types of insect wings, though they can have a far wider range of coloration.
