Diminutive, otherworldly beings. They have an intrinsic connection with magical forces, and even the rare few who shun magic can count on their keen senses and charming appearance. Their fragile bodies make them prey to anything that could catch them, but catching a fairy is no easy task.

Fairies are considerably improved from how they were in Elona. While they are slightly slower than they were compared the baseline of a Yerles, they have gained innate levitation in Elin, and the way resistances factor into damage now make them much stronger than their Elona resistances.

One might consider fairies to be good at ranged combat given their dexterity and perception scores, but finding suitable weapons for them are a problem given the equipment weight limit of 1s. Ether is a high-damage material suited for fairies, but difficult to come by. It's of note that throwing weapons are not limited by the 1s weight limitation, so that is an option. | One might consider fairies to be good at ranged combat given their dexterity and perception scores, but finding suitable weapons for them are a problem given the equipment weight limit of 1s.
