Fairy (Total War)

Fairies were mysterious beings who emerged in the Tarm Woods of Hyrule.

History
It is unknown where or how Fairies emerged, though they appeared in many cultures across Hyrule, described as winged women of great beauty and grace, as small as a finger or as giant as a hill. They were known to possess great magic of unknown origin which they would hide like a treasure.

In 2994 BG, Fairies entered a conflict with the armies of King Gustaf, Ezlo, Igos du Ikana, Siroc and Vaati as the factions fought in Tarm Ruins, likely guarding their turf.

In 0 AG, word spread far east that the Triforce was hidden away in the Water Temple, leading to the Great Fairy Veran and her personal army of Fairies to make a run for Hylia Marine in order to become an Empress. Upon her defeat, she and her Fairies were cast into the Realm of Twilight, believing it to be an endless pit.

Spriggan
Green Fairies, otherwise known as Spriggans across Hyrule, were said to be the first of the Fairies to arise in Spring with the return of warmth. They were said to have a very playful attitude, sometimes to the point of mischief and havoc. Their wings tended to resemble those of Grasshoppers and Locusts.

Nix
Nix were Fairies that were attributed to the late Spring, chasing away other insects to make way for the flora of summer. A Nix was often calm and patient, stalking and learning of their prey long before striking. Their wings often looked like those found on a Mantis.

Pixie
Pixies were fiery red Fairies associated with the arrival of Summer heat. They were very hostile and incredibly aggressive, often chasing away anything that encroached on their turf. Pixie wings frequently resembled Dragonflies.

Spryte
Sprytes were bright pink Fairies that would flutter from the trees in late summer. They were linked to joy, happiness, fun, and particularly dancing. It was said they cheered on others to enjoy their time before the labor of Autumn began. The Pink wings of a Spryte often looked like that of a Butterfly.

Nymph
Nymphs were small but extremely fast Fairies that swarmed the fields upon the arrival of Autumn, where they would seek out food, materials, and all manner of doodads across the land. They were associated with excitedness, decision making, and exploration. The wings of a Nymph usually looked like a Wasp’s wings.

Korrigan
The Orange Fairies would flutter in organized trails across the land, bringing forth food for a grand feast at the end of Fall. Also known as Korrigans, an Orange Fairy often represented work, labor, and industriousness. Korrigans seemed to have wings resembling those of Bees.

Sylph
Blue Fairies, or Sylphs, would drift slowly and alone upon the fall of snow in Winter. Sylphs were said to be introverted and lonely, but possessed a curiosity and intellect far greater than others of their kin. They were associated with wisdom, knowledge, and study. A Sylph’s wings almost always looked like a Moth’s.

Huldra
Violet Fairies would creep out in the cold dead of winter nights. Also called Huldra by many folk, these dark Fairies were known for their deception and desire to torment and tease any other creature they could find. Though not exactly malevolent, Huldra had twisted senses of humor and were generally regarded as mean spirited. Huldra wings were said to glisten like those of a beetle.
