A fairy (also fay, fae; from faery, faerie, "realm of the fays") is a type of mythical being or legendary creature often described as metaphysical, supernatural or preternatural. They are simple creatures of magic that represents some aspect of nature. The term "fairy" is broad and covers multiple species like yōsei, goblins, gnomes, elves, and so on.

Fairies may have abilities relating to the four seasons, weather, emotions, longevity, decay, fertility, or other aspects of nature.

Fairies are generally described as human in appearance and having magical powers. Their origins are less clear in the folklore, being variously dead, or some form of demon, or a species completely independent of humans or angels. There is a lot of uncertainty among fairies about their origins, considering the broad term. There's a theory they are demoted "angels", but this is vehemently ignored by fairies since it is a theory made by humans.

Fairies in the realm of humans is not overly common. They tend to stay in the fairy realm under the rule of Oberon and his wife Titania. Fairies that leave the fairy realm are more-often-than-not sought after and forced to return to the fairy realm. Though there are cases of fairies being banished to the human realm and stripped of their powers.

While individual kinds of fairies have unique weaknesses, the one weakness shared by all fairies is a weakness to cold iron. It is poisonous to fairies and they will avoid it at all costs.
