Lifespan

Fae have two stages of life. The first stage, age of development, last from birth until 20. During this stage the young fae grows and develops it’s many skills needed for survival, following the same path a typical human would follow. The young fae stays at home until he or she is at least 20.

The final stage, adulthood, last from 21 until death. During this stage the fae has left his or her family and tries to find a way to fit into this world. It is during this stage as well that a fae may mate and learn to make moral decisions. Basically this is the stage of life when a fae develops who he or she will be. At the end of their life span, the fae create a cocoon out of silk materials and hangs it in a tree. The fae will then seal him or herself in it and perish. The body of the fae during this time shrinks and transforms into a multicolored butterfly, which will fly out of the cocoon and join the natural world.

Appearance

Fae are your basic fairy. Though their true form is somewhat shorter than a human, they can shrink themselves to 3 inches tall. Fae usually all have long hair of either blond, reed, blue, pink, purple, or green color. Their eyes match their hair color. Fae also have large butterfly wings which match their hair color. They also have feelers that protrude 18 inches from their head.

Food & Sleeping Requirements

Fae must sleep a full night cycle and eats a diet consisting of insects and nectar, or give way to fatigue.

Culture

Fae live in a matriarchal society where there is a queen fae that dictates the lives and routine of the fae race. While this is especially true in the small fae nation, the influence of the queen fae is felt no matter where the fae lives. In the household, it is the mother or the female who is the head while the males take on the domestic matters. Fae are extremely flirtatious and born practical jokers. They are polytheistic in belief, worshiping the four winds and nature, and as so in relationship matters with one fae female often having multiple fae husbands.

Fae do not care so much about surnames, but when relating to others they will state that they are the daughter of and give their mother's name. First names often have something to do with nature or magic.

Racial Relations

Fae’s are flirtatious and friendly and will try to get along with anyone, regardless of race. However their practical jokes often make more enemies than friends.

World Movement

Fae have a slow gait, but are quick.
