Myth:

Fairies

"Fairies are naturally complicated and their behavior is ruled by a moral code which is very different from ours. Most of these little creatures, apart their size, appearance and nature, have hidden powers and are able to give, as much as they please, good and bad luck. Therefore, the more you know about Fairies, the best chances you have to come out of an encounter unscathed. When you have dealings with Fairies it is of primary importance that you treat them with kindness and all respect. It is too easy to offend them and Heaven help you if you take liberties with them."

--WhisperingWorlds

Fairies are small creatures that have wings and seem to have human appearances. Most of the time, they are believed to have powers of some sort, most often powers that involve nature. Fairies are associated with many different myths and legends, and even if they are not a part of a story, the story is commonly known as a "fairy tale". A common fairy tale (or legend) is the story of Robin Hood.
