Fae Typology

The Fae of Thomas Book fall into categories:

1. Pixie: No bigger than a half-foot-tall, they manifest as small balls of light and tend to resemble fireflies when traveling. They will often slip into the form of a toad, sparrow or some similar-sized creature to escape detection. They are chaotic balls of energy and light that can't hold still for a few moments at best and have no ability to remain focused on one thing for long.

They are identified by their butterfly (female) or dragonfly (male) wings.

2. Sprite: Larger than a Pixie, they can reach heights of up to a foot or so. Sprites are tried to their element and will resemble it in some form. Wood Sprites, Water Sprites, etc. They are more attuned to a theme of the elements more so than the Pixies who are energy itself.

3. Wildlings: They are larger than Sprites, usually reaching up to around 3 feet in height. Just as Sprites are more 'evolved' forms of Fae, so too are Wildlings more 'evolved' than Sprites. Wildlings tend to have a seasonal affiliation in that they will be lesser versions of one of the four Courts.
