Fairy

The Feywild is home to many fantastic peoples, including fairies. Fairies are some of the smallest folk. Infused with the magic of the Feywild, fairies share a few commonalities with one another but can differ widely in appearance, behaviour, and attitude. Many fairies have a special physical characteristic that sets them apart from other creatures of their kind. For your fairy, roll on the Fey Characteristic table or choose an option from it. The Feywild is a wild place, so come up with your own characteristic if none of these fit your character.
