A fairy (also faery, faerie, fay, fae; euphemistically wee folk, good folk, people of peace,fair folk, etc.)[1] is a type of mythical being or legendary creature, a form of spirit, often described as metaphysical, supernatural or preternatural.
Fairies resemble various beings of other mythologies, though even folklore that uses the termfairy offers many definitions. Sometimes the term describes any magical creature, includinggoblins or gnomes: at other times, the term only describes a specific type of more etherealcreature.[2]
