Faeries, mostly commonly known as Winter Sprites, are an immortal race of creatures that may not necessarily be native to this world.

Appearance

They are palm size and looked like fluid ice and pure crystal, with no breasts or other genitalia. They have Pupil-less eyes, sharp teeth and dragonfly like wings.

To people, monsters and creatures of horror and blight of the world, they look like fuzzy shapes in blue and white.

Bio

Winter Sprites appear at the beginning of every winter, as they are responsible for bringing the snow to the world, which was entrusted to them by their king. They are presumed to be quite ancient, as they were friends of the Elves. They are immortal.

They can travel between worlds, and were on Earth in the past. They left due to the growing pollution levels.

For reason not yet stated, they strongly hate Half-Elves, and will torment them whenever they can.

Powers and Abilities

Faerie magic affects the perceptions of reality - For example, they can make flowers that appear and feel like gold, make great distances appear much closer than they should be, and change the way people speak. They can also change the way they are perceived - Most people cannot hear the Faeries or see them directly.

As the winter sprites, the faeries act as childish pests. They can fly and conjure snow, ice and avalanches out of thin air. They are also capable of dropping the temperature and freezing anything that touches them.

Briefly, in chapter 2.29, the Faeries transformed, and brought warmth and life rather than snow and decay - snow melted, flowers and grass grew and flourished where previously there were none. This implies that the Faeries choose to act as 'Winter Sprites' deliberately, but could also act as 'Sprint Sprites' if they chose to.

Limitations and Weaknesses

• They fear cold Iron, as the mere contact with it leads to injuries. As a result, they won't enter buildings that are made of it.
• They can't enter places without an Invitation.
• Once they make a promise they can't break it.
• People from Earth can see their true forms and hear them.
• Their glamor can be broken if they are hit.

Trivia

• Time and distance affect them differently, allowing them to travel at what seems to be impossible speeds to onlookers. At the same time, they can't perceive how Val and Ryoka run at different speeds.
• They first met Teriarch when he was still a whelp, though just in passing.
• Once someone kills a Fae they will be killed before the next moon rises.
