faerie
A faerie, often spelled "fairy," is a mythical being found in folklore and fairy tales. Typically depicted as small, magical creatures with wings, faeries are known for their enchanting beauty and playful nature. They are often associated with nature, particularly in woodlands and gardens, and are believed to possess magical powers that can influence the natural world.
In various cultures, faeries can be benevolent or malevolent, sometimes helping humans and at other times causing mischief. They are commonly featured in stories alongside other mythical beings, such as elves and gnomes, and are often linked to themes of magic, transformation, and the supernatural.
