Shapeshifting Faeries

Information

Human in appearance although their skin color can be particularly fair or dark, and they are always slender, male or female. Hair and eye color varies. The females can shapeshift rapidly into small forms, the size of a large dragonflies, with dragonfly, or swallow tail-like wings. The males can also shift size quickly, but have no wings. They are more vulnerable in their small form, with exception of being able to fly quickly and to hide easily. Faeries commit a great deal of their time to celebration and mischief, and are either engaged in festivals, or the seeking and making of mischief with other races. Their mischief may be harmless or not, depending on whether or not they favor their victim. Female faeries are known to enslave human (or other) men, and keep them as their slaves until they tire of them, and if they have a faery suitor, he may grow jealous and seek a way to get the slave out of his way. Faeries are very reluctant to wed, because divorce among faeries is not an option. When faeries marry, they do so for life, and they can live forever. The only way to end a marriage, is for one of the faeries to die. Infidelities may be taken lightly by one couple, or result in murder in another, depending on the passion one faery has for their mate. If these faeries give birth to a particularly wicked or evil child (which they can sense) they will exchange it for a human, elven, (or human-like) child. Faeries are quasi-immortal, and cease aging between 16-24 years of age.
