'''Fairies''' are Magical Creatures that appear in the [[Winx Club]] series.
 
   
  +
[[File:Fairies.jpg|thumb|250px]]The '''Fairies''' are magical creatures living throughout the [[Magic Dimension]] that appear in ''[[Winx Club]]'' and ''[[World of Winx]]''. They are the magical opposite of [[Witch|witches]].
==Overview==
 
[[File:Fairies.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Fairies at Alfea College]]'''Fairies''' are magical creatures that live in the [[Magic Dimension]]. Throughout the Winx Club series, many kinds of Fairies have been seen. These include normal Fairies, like the Winx girls and other [[Alfea]] students, as well as other magical beings such as [[Arcadia]], the [[Ethereal Fairies]], and the [[Rustic Fairies]]. The Winx are highest level fairies aside from Daphne in existence.
 
   
  +
Fairies use their powers for good, protect the [[Magic Dimension]] from the forces of evil, and work to help others.
All Fairies are mostly humanoid in appearance, with the normal Fairies looking exacly like humans, but with wings when transformed, while Arcadia and the Ethereal Fairies have a less human features and look more like purely magical beings. The Rustic Fairies have goats' legs, fur instead of clothing and hair shaped like horns. The source of the powers of all types of Fairies is from their positive feelings and from light, which makes them very similar to the [[Elves]] magically. Opposing them magically are [[Witches]], who also fight evil but using their dark magic, and this reflects itself in the colorful and sparkling clothes that normal Fairies like the Winx wear in Fairy mode.[[File:1x24-RandomFairies.jpg|thumb|Fairies attacking with their magic spells.]]
 
   
  +
However some fairies use their powers for evil or ally with dark forces for selfish means, and others, while not necessarily evil, stray to the dark side and do bad things, such as seek vengeance or have a lust for power. Some of these Fairies become [[Dark Fairy|Dark Fairies]].
Most Fairies are known to have used their powers for good purposes and protect the Magic Dimension from the forces of evil, and have collaborated with other magical beings like Elves, Witches and Wizards to fight evil, one example being the [[Company of Light]]. However some Fairies are known to have allied themselves with the evil forces for their own selfish motives, such as [[Cassandra|Countess Cassandra]], [[Chimera]] and [[Diaspro|Princess Diaspro]] who allied themelves with [[Valtor]] in [[Season 3]]. Other Fairies, while they did not really switch to the dark side or ally themselves with the forces of evil, have however been on the bad side and done bad things. The Vengeance of the [[Earth Fairies]] from [[Season 4]] is such an example, where the [[Earth Fairies]] , after being freed from [[Tir Nan Og]], decided to seek revenge not only from the [[Wizards of the Black Circle]] who trapped them, but also from the human world for forgetting them and they even attacked the Winx who protected the humans. One of them, [[Nebula]], went so far as to overthrow [[Morgana]], the Fairy Queen of Tir Nan Og, and proclaim herself as new Queen of the Earth Fairies and, after defeating the Wizards for good, wanted to conquer the human world and rule it, being ready to destroy anyone who would come in her way. Nebula and the [[Earth Fairies ]] however repented and returned to the good side. Some [[Alfea]] Fairy students have also been known to be mean.
 
   
  +
==Physical Appearance==
The Fairies, Witches and humans form the main part of the society of the Magic Dimension, the proportion of each varying across realms, with other magical beings such as the Elves, Leprechauns Ogres, Wizards and other magical beings also being present in some realms, and it seems that the Fairies tend to be the main members of the societies of most realms of the Magic Dimension.
 
  +
All fairies are mostly human in appearance with some being composed of pure energy or resembling [[Animal (Winx Club)|animals]] or [[Elf (Winx Club)|elves]]. Fairies usually wear colorful clothing to reflect their light magic, but some have been shown to wear dark Gothic clothing, although this is very uncommon.
  +
While most known fairies are female, male fairies do exist as seen in [[Winx Club 3D: Magical Adventure|Winx Club: Magical Adventure]].
  +
==''Winx Club''==
   
  +
===Pre-Series===
Female fairies are very common, while male fairies are very rare and does not show a lot in the series. However, it seemed that some schools like [[Lynphea College]] have male fairies.
 
  +
The nine [[Nymphs of Magix]] ruled the fate of the Magic Dimension after the disappearance of the [[Great Dragon]].
  +
Long ago, seven [[Ancestral Fairies]] crossed over from the [[Legendarium World]] and spread their magic throughout all the worlds the [[Magic Dimension]], including the [[Earth]].
   
  +
Other ancient, all-powerful fairies such as [[Arcadia]], the first fairy, and the [[Ethereal Fairies]], the guardians of the [[Gifts of Destiny]], live outside of space and time.
==Origin and History of Fairies==
 
  +
[[File:Ancestral Fairies 2.jpg|thumb|Portraits of the Ancestral Fairies.]]
[[Arcadia]] was described in [[Season 3]] as the first Fairy to have ever flied in the skies of the [[Magic Dimension]]. However it is unknown whether she is in fact the ancestor of all Fairies existing or not and it is most probable that she is only the first being to ever have Fairy powers, and does not have family relations to the other Fairies. The [[Ethereal Fairies]] have also been mentioned in [[Season 4]] as extremely powerful Fairies from the beginning of Time but, since they described themselves as being made of pure energy, it is extremely unlikely that they are related 
 
to either normal Fairies or Arcadia.
 
   
 
In ancient times, Earth was protected by [[Earth Fairies]], but then the [[Wizards of the Black Circle]] found a way to resist the fairies' magic and absorb it and began the Great Fairy Hunt which lasted for centuries. The absence of fairy magic allowed pestilence, wars, and hatred to instill upon the Earth.
Since both Arcadia and the Ethereal Fairies are said to have been existing since the beginning of Time, most probably they were born when the [[Great Dragon]] created the Magic Dimension, Arcadia being the first one to come into existance.
 
   
  +
==Education==
Other ancient and powerful fairies mentioned in the series are the nine [[Nymphs of Magix]] who, after the disappearance of the Great Dragon, ruled the fate of the Magic Dimension and were the previous Keepers of the Dragon Flame before the destruction of the Realm of [[Domino]], after which the [[Dragon Flame|Dragon's Flame]] was lost for 16 years.

[[File:1x24-RandomFairies.jpg|thumb|Fairies attacking with their spells.]]
[[Earth]] was also protected by Fairies in the past, but then the [[Wizards of the Black Circle]] found a way to resist to the Fairies' magic and absorb it and began the Great Fairy Hunt which lasted for centuries, till the Winx freed all of them in Season 4.
 
 
Fairies must attend school to become full-fledged fairies and master their powers. To do so, most fairies attend [[Alfea]]. There, the fairies are taught and trained to develop and increase their powers and to use their powers responsibly so as to help preserve the [[Magic Dimension]] and fight against evil using light magic.
   
  +
Other schools Fairiea are known to attend include the [[Beta Academy]], [[Linphea College]], the [[Eraklyon Institute]], the [[Golden Auditorium]], and [[Tir Nan Og College]].
==Powers and Strength==
 
===Arcadia===
 
{{Main|Arcadia}}
 
   
 
==Fairy Forms==
Arcadia is the first fairy to have ever existed. She seems to be very powerful, and the power or the tests of the Crystal Labyrinth may have been set up using Aurora's power since she can also undo the effects of the Labyrinth. Arcadia is powerful enough to guard the [[Water Stars]], which are the opposite of the Dragon Flame. Since she has been living since the beginning of the magic dimension, she is assumed to be immortal.[[File:3x22-Arcadia_giving_the_winx_the_water_stars.jpg|thumb|right|Arcadia]]

[[Fairy Form]]s or Transformations are different levels of power that fairies can attain as an extension of their magical abilities. Fairies’ abilities are limited in their civilian forms. To increase their magical abilities, they transform into fairies and are able to use their powers with greater ease, gain wings, and new clothes and accessories. There are standard fairy levels, which are gained during a fairy's formal educational journey to become a full-fledged fairy, and an infinite number of higher fairy levels and acquired powers meant for specific situations.
{{Main|Ethereal Fairies}}
 
   
  +
==Fairies and Witches==
The Ethereal Fairies are magical creatures made up of pure magical energy and who are timeless, meaning that they are immortal. They appear to be extremely powerful, and to have the ability to see the future. They are also the guardians of many powers, such as the [[Gifts of Destiny]].[[File:Images,.jpg|thumb|left|The Ethereal fairies]]
 
   
  +
There is also a notable rivalry between fairies and [[witch]]es. Their opposed natures often cause tension between the two groups, including exclusion from certain events or physical confrontation when provoked. It has been stated that witches do not like fairies because they think fairies live easy lives.
===Rustic Fairies===
 
{{Main|Rustic Fairies}}
 
   
  +
Despite this, Fairies and witches have been seen working together in times of hardship or realm-wide emergencies, and can cooperate after some time together. There are also significant and long-lasting friendships made between fairies and witches, even with some friendly rivalry. Fairies have the option to switch to a witch and vice versa, although this is a rare case
The Rustic Fairies, although they are not all-powerful fairies, are different from other fairies because they are also part goat

===Amazon Fairies===

==Magical Abilities==
  +
The source of power of Fairies are the [[Positive Magic|light aspects of magic]] such as positive feelings typically related to a specific theme or aspect of life, such as war, love, wisdom, Nature, music and Oceans.
{{Main|Amazon Fairies}}
 
   
  +
Just like [[witch]]es, each fairy has a specific power. The magic of every fairy is fueled by their positive feelings such as happiness, love, and etc. Fairies are able to fly but only when they are transformed. All fairies know some basic, first level spells such as telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes. Fairies can converge with witches and [[Wizard|wizards]], if they are strong enough.

Fairies can form a magical bond with [[Pixie]]s, [[Selkie]]s, and [[Fairy Animal]]s.

*[[Winx (Group)|Winx Club]]
In magical strength, Fairies are as powerful as [[Witches]] and their relative strengths depends on how much the fairy or witch has been trained. For example, the [[Trix]] originally seemed much stronger that the Winx, but this may have been because the Trix were senior students at Cloudtower while the Winx were freshman students (except Stella, who, however, was not very interested in studying and was held back) and because the Trix, being descendants of the Ancestresses, were more powerful than the other witches (which was shown when the Trix took over [[Cloudtower]] and led the [[Army of Darkness]] to attack the magic dimension in [[Season 1]]). However the Fairy of the Dragon Flame, who is the Keeper of the power of the Great Dragon who created the Magic Dimension, is the most powerful being in the whole Magical Universe.

==Trivia==
Even though they are magical opposites, Fairies can converge their magic with [[Witches]], which shows that there is a magical link between them that enables witches to combine their negative energies and dark powers with the positive energies and powers of light of fairies, as seen in Season 1 episode 24.
 
  +
*[[Wikipedia:Fairy|Fairies]] originate in [[Wikipedia:European folklore|European folklore]], especially from [[Wikipedia:Celtic|Celtic mythology]], [[Wikipedia:Germanic|Germanic mythology]] and [[Wikipedia:Slavic paganism|Slavic]] mythologies and from [[Wikipedia:English|English folklore]] and [[Wikipedia:French|French folklore]] folklore, where they appear like human-like supernatural spirits or beings. In older legends about fairies, they were powerful beings who humans had to appease or seek protection from, and the modern depiction of fairies as cheerful beings with wings started only in the [[Wikipedia:Victorian era|Victorian Era]] of British history.
   
  +
{{Winx}}
Just like witches have powers specific to them, fairies also have specific powers but due to the Fairies' powers being based on good magic, the source of their powers are often things with positive aspects or which can be useful, like Water, Nature, Music and Technology for [[Aisha]], [[Flora]], [[Musa]] and [[Tecna]].
 
 
Just like the Witches who attend Cloudtower, Fairies must attend school to become full-fledged Fairies and master all their powers.To do so fairies attend the [[Alfea]] School for Fairies in the Dimension of [[Magix]]. There the Fairies are taught and trained to develop, increase and [[Convergence|converge]] their powers and to use their powers responsibly so as to help preserve the Magic Dimension and fight against evil, and both Fairies and Witches make efforts to become more powerful to help protect the Magic Dimension from evil, by using good magic for Fairies and by using dark magic for Witches.
 
 
Unlike Witches, who are known to work for their selfish and personal means, though this is mostly a cliché, Fairies mostly work to help others, even though some of them have been so selfish that they allied themselves with evil, like Cassandra, Chimera and Diaspro who became Valtor's allies in [[Season 3]].
 
 
The Fairies' powers are however vulnerable to some dark powers, such as those of [[Darkar]], who had the ability to absorb all energy to make him more stronger, since he was the absolute opposite of the [[Great Dragon]], whose power was to release energy. The [[Wizards of the Black Circle]] also developed a powerful spell enclosed in their [[Black Circle]] that allowed them to resist to the Fairies' magic and to steal their powers by plucking their wings. This spell was used by them to capture all the Earth Fairies and would allow them, once they had captured all the Fairies of Earth and stolen all their powers, to become the masters of the [[Earth|Earth Dimension]]. Only the Believix powers of the Winx, the power of the White Circle and the positive energy released when the Earth Fairies were freed was able to weaken the Black Circle.
 
 
From Season 4 it was also revealed that the powers of the Fairies are bonded to their wings, since it was by plucking their wings that the Wizards of the Black Circle stole the powers of the Earth Fairies.
 
[[File:Harmonix.Sirenix.png|thumb|282px]]
 
 
===Fairy Forms===
 
Even if Fairies are magical creatures, their abilities are limited in civilian form and they have to [[Fairy Forms|transform]] themselves into fairy mode, where they can use their powers with greater ease and are able to use their magic for more attacks and spells, and they also gain wings which allow them to fly, as well as sparkling clothes.
 
 
As the powers of fairies grow, they also gain different transformations called Fairy Levels, which each gives them new abilities. The first one, the standard Fairy Level, also known as Winx level, enables the Fairies to use their power more easily than in civilian mode. [[Charmix]] gained by Fairies by overcoming their personal difficulties and boosts their powers. [[Enchantix]] is gained when Fairies save someone from their own realm and gives the Fairies many new powers, such as the use of [[Fairy Dust]] and [[Miniaturization]]. A fairy studies for three years at Alfea, one for each transformation and, once Fairies earns their Enchantix and graduate, they become [[Guardian Fairies]] whose duty is to protect the magic Dimension from the forces of evil and all the other threats it faces.
 
 
After Enchantix there is an infinite number of new transformations, called Higher Fairy Levels, which can be earned in specific situations, and which gives Fairies new powers which make them even more powerful and allows them to help people better than Enchantix Fairies can, such as [[Believix]], which is obtained by making people believe in magic and which gives the Fairy the ability to reach the heart of people and to make them have positive feelings. Other transformations, such as [[Lovix]], [[Sophix]] and [[Harmonix]] are gained from a power source.
 
 
====Major Fairies====
 
{{Main|Major Fairies}}
 
 
In [[Season 4]], the [[Major Fairies]] of Earth were introduced. They are the Supreme Guardians of Nature and they are each bonded to a power source which itself derives all its energy from nature. These power sources themselves contain all the essence of what the Major Fairy bonded to them stands for, such as the Sacred Flower of [[Diana]], which is the very heart of nature, and the Blizzard of [[Aurora]], which has the power to freeze the whole Universe. They are in fact so powerful that the Believix powers of the Winx, who are already the [[Guardian Fairies]] of the Magic Dimension, were not enough and they had to use the [[Gifts of Destiny]] to fight the power of these Fairies.
 
 
====Nymphs of Magix====
 
{{Main|Nymphs of Magix}}
 
 
The Nymphs of Magix were nine all-powerful Fairies who ruled the fate of the Magic Dimension after the disappearance of the Great Dragon. They are supposed to be the most powerful being of the whole Magic Dimension, even more powerful than[[ Arcadia]] or the Ethereal Fairies. However, since they are normal fairies, they are also mortal.
 
 
[[File:Winx-pixies.jpg|thumb|216px|The Pixies Top to Bottom, Digit, Amore, Chatta, Lockette, Piff and Tune]]
 
 
==Pixies==
 
{{Main|Pixies}}
 
 
As part of their journey to become full fleged Fairies, every Fairy must bond with a [[Pixies|Pixie]]. The Pixies help the Fairies with their own powers as well as with their daily life and their personality such that the Fairy and the Pixie are complementary. Some Fairies may bond with a Pixie having a personality alike to theirs, such as [[Tecna]] and [[Digit]], while others may bond with a Pixie who is their personality is complete opposite, like [[Musa]] and [[Tune]]. Other bondings are not specifically based on personality, but instead on what is in the heart of the Fairy, such as [[Lockette]], the Pixie of Keys and Portals, who is bonded to [[Bloom]] who has many secrets surrounding her that need to be unlocked, and [[Amore]], the Pixie of Love, bonded to [[Stella]] who may seem to be superficial, but whose greatest dream is to bring back the love that used to be between her parents. [[Piff]] helps Aisha with the many nightmares that are in her life, and [[Chatta]] helps [[Flora]], who is very shy, to have more courage.
 
 
==Selkies==
 
{{Main|Selkies}}
 
 
[[File:Winx-seven-pescies.png|thumb|212px|From left to right: Serena, Lithia, Desiree, Nissa, Lemmy, Illiris and Sonna.]]
 
 
As part of their journey to become accomplished fairies, some fairies may bond with a [[Selkies|Selkie]]. However, this is not always the case, as Krystal will possibly never bond with a selkie as there is only one known selkie in Linphea and in order to bond with a selkie she must gain [[Sirenix]], which is a rare and ancient power. The same applies to other fairies from the Winx's home realm. The Selkies help the fairies with their own powers as well as in the underwater world. Some fairies may bond with a selkie having a personality alike to theirs, such as [[Musa]] and [[Sonna]], or [[Flora]] and [[Desiryee]], while the others may bond with a selkie who their personality is complete opposite, like [[Aisha]] and [[Lemmy]]. Other bondings are not specifically based on personality, but instead on what is in the heart of the fairy or the home realm of that fairy. The selkies are underwater equivalents of the pixies.
 
 
==Witches and Fairies==
 
===Different Species===
 
Two Fairies, [[Faragonda]] and [[Mirta]], once used to be Witches. This implies that young girls can still choose into becoming either a Fairy or a Witch depending on their personalities.
 
 
Since [[Bloom]] and [[Roxy]] discovered their powers when they were 16 years-old and usually Fairies and Witches join Alfea and [[Cloudtower]] at this age, and Mirta turned into a Fairy from a Witch around this age, it is possible that the powers of Witches' and Fairies' power start appearing around this age.
 
 
Therefore someone can still choose between becoming a Fairy or a Witch so long as they have not become full-fledged Fairies or Witches, or till their powers do not become fully associated with Darkness or Light.
 
 
It is thus supposed that children choose to become Witches or Fairies, or that a Witch can become a Fairy and vice-versa, as it has been mentioned on the Official Winx Club Site after the Season 2 revamp that Miss Faragonda used to be a Witch before becoming a Fairy, and it is also seen when Mirta who was a Witch in [[Season 1]] became a Fairy after transferring to Alfea, her Fairy transformation being shown in Season 3. Therefore Witches and Fairies are not two different species, but people of the same species who chose to use different types of magic.
 
 
===Problems between Witches and Fairies===
 
Witches and Fairies tend to have opposed natures and this causes rivalry and may lead to tensions between them, like in the [[Winx Club - Episode 109|ninth episode of Season 1]], where many witches joined the [[Trix]] to attack [[Musa]] and later fight the Specialists and the rest of the Winx girls.
 
 
At the beginning of Season 1, in the [[Winx Club - Episode 103|third episode]], the Witches were so angry that they had not been invited to the party at Alfea that they decided to crash the party and Miss Griffin complains that the Cloudtower students are never invited to the parties at Alfea and Red Fountain.
 
 
However, by the end of the season the tensions seem to have decreased between the Cloudtower students and the [[Alfea]] students because of the Witches stay at Alfea when the Trix took control of Cloudtower and because they all fought together against the Trix. In the [[Winx Club - Episode 208|8th episode]] of Season 2 the Witches are even invited to the inauguration of the new [[Red Fountain]] building and later in the season Mirta explains to the Winx that most Witches do not like Fairies because they think that Fairies live easy lives at Alfea while they have to do efforts.
 
 
The temporary stay of the Winx at Cloudtower clears more misunderstandings between Witches and Fairies, and both Fairies and Witches start having better opinions of each other. By the end of the Season the Witches are even invited to the party at Alfea. In Season 3, when Valtor takes control of Cloudtower and sends the Witches to attack Alfea after turning them into his slaves, [[Flora]] is shocked on seeing the Witches attacking, saying that she thought the Alfea Fairies and the Cloudtower Witches were now friends.
 
 
In [[Winx Club 3D: Magical Adventure|the second movie]], however, when the Witches crash the beginning of year ceremony by putting a spell on the food so that whoever eats it becomes a toad, Miss Faragonda complains that the Cloudtower Witches had also made pranks like bombarding Alfea with drops of storm and stuffing the cakes with roaches and snakes during the party the two previous years (i.e. in the years [[Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom|The Secret of the Lost Kingdom]] and [[Season 4]] took place), and Miss Griffin answers that Faragonda herself insists on having that party every year, but Fairies and Witches just do not mix. This means that even if the Witches are now friends with the Fairies they still like to cause mischief by playing pranks on the Fairies, this also means there is some friendly rivalry between them.
 
 
A perfect example of Witch-Fairy friendship is the friendship between Miss Griffin and Miss Faragonda as even if they can sometimes be rivals, they are also very good friends. The friendship between Mirta and Lucy, especially after Season 2, is also similar, as Lucy ends by accepting Mirta as now being a Fairy and Mirta accepts and respects Lucy's decision to become an accomplished Witch and both decide to remain good friends despite their differences, though it still remains a friendship full of rivalry.
 
 
==Male Fairies==
 
Most of the fairies seen in the series are female fairies, but in the first and second movies male Fairies were seen on Domino. It is unknown where do they do for their education, as male fairies were never seen at Alfea. Their magical abilities and whether these are similar to those of female fairies are unknown. It is assumed that they also go through the same fairy levels as the female fairies: standard fairy level, Charmix and Enchantix, but with more masculine outfits. Since the only male fairies ever seen were on Domino, it could be that male fairies are only found on Domino, though it seems unlikely.

Fairies

The Fairies are magical creatures living throughout the Magic Dimension that appear in Winx Club and World of Winx. They are the magical opposite of witches.

Fairies use their powers for good, protect the Magic Dimension from the forces of evil, and work to help others.

However some fairies use their powers for evil or ally with dark forces for selfish means, and others, while not necessarily evil, stray to the dark side and do bad things, such as seek vengeance or have a lust for power. Some of these Fairies become Dark Fairies.

Physical Appearance

All fairies are mostly human in appearance with some being composed of pure energy or resembling animals or elves. Fairies usually wear colorful clothing to reflect their light magic, but some have been shown to wear dark Gothic clothing, although this is very uncommon. While most known fairies are female, male fairies do exist as seen in Winx Club: Magical Adventure.

Winx Club

Pre-Series

The nine Nymphs of Magix ruled the fate of the Magic Dimension after the disappearance of the Great Dragon. Long ago, seven Ancestral Fairies crossed over from the Legendarium World and spread their magic throughout all the worlds the Magic Dimension, including the Earth.

Other ancient, all-powerful fairies such as Arcadia, the first fairy, and the Ethereal Fairies, the guardians of the Gifts of Destiny, live outside of space and time.

Ancestral Fairies 2

Portraits of the Ancestral Fairies.

In ancient times, Earth was protected by Earth Fairies, but then the Wizards of the Black Circle found a way to resist the fairies' magic and absorb it and began the Great Fairy Hunt which lasted for centuries. The absence of fairy magic allowed pestilence, wars, and hatred to instill upon the Earth.

Education

Fairies attacking with their spells.

Fairies must attend school to become full-fledged fairies and master their powers. To do so, most fairies attend Alfea. There, the fairies are taught and trained to develop and increase their powers and to use their powers responsibly so as to help preserve the Magic Dimension and fight against evil using light magic.

Other schools Fairiea are known to attend include the Beta Academy, Linphea College, the Eraklyon Institute, the Golden Auditorium, and Tir Nan Og College.

Fairy Forms

Fairy Forms or Transformations are different levels of power that fairies can attain as an extension of their magical abilities. Fairies’ abilities are limited in their civilian forms. To increase their magical abilities, they transform into fairies and are able to use their powers with greater ease, gain wings, and new clothes and accessories. There are standard fairy levels, which are gained during a fairy's formal educational journey to become a full-fledged fairy, and an infinite number of higher fairy levels and acquired powers meant for specific situations.

Fairies and Witches

There is also a notable rivalry between fairies and witches. Their opposed natures often cause tension between the two groups, including exclusion from certain events or physical confrontation when provoked. It has been stated that witches do not like fairies because they think fairies live easy lives.

Despite this, Fairies and witches have been seen working together in times of hardship or realm-wide emergencies, and can cooperate after some time together. There are also significant and long-lasting friendships made between fairies and witches, even with some friendly rivalry. Fairies have the option to switch to a witch and vice versa, although this is a rare case

Magical Abilities

The source of power of Fairies are the light aspects of magic such as positive feelings typically related to a specific theme or aspect of life, such as war, love, wisdom, Nature, music and Oceans.

Just like witches, each fairy has a specific power. The magic of every fairy is fueled by their positive feelings such as happiness, love, and etc. Fairies are able to fly but only when they are transformed. All fairies know some basic, first level spells such as telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes. Fairies can converge with witches and wizards, if they are strong enough.

Fairies can form a magical bond with Pixies, Selkies, and Fairy Animals.
