This diminutive fae's form is almost entirely obscured by his strange attire.

A wide brimmed hat conceals much of the fae's face save for a mouth, lined with razor sharp teeth, turned upwards in a perpetual grin. The hat, itself, is ever-burning - red hot embers dancing across its surface, casting wisps of smoke, along with a pungent odor, into the air. | |||

Animated into sentience by some lingering, tainted magics, this putrid ooze is capable of moving under its own power. The bulk of its semi-liquid form is comprised of a revolting amalgamation of what appears to be blood, mud, and other unidentifiable fluids. Embedded irregularly across its surface are dry, cracked stones that crackle and spark with geomantic energies. The ooze churns in upon itself, a constant vortex of foulness that occasionally release small plumes of noxious smog from breaks in its surface. | |||

To gaze at the fylgia is akin to looking through fog or mist. It is difficult to focus on her presence before you, your mind continually sliding away from her existence. Her form is translucent, ever-changing, barely holding the outline of a ghostly doe with a multitude of features - eyes that are sad, joyous, furious, concerned, loving all at once; pelts of many shades; ages that ranges from the youngest fawn to the eldest of deer. Tendrils of curling silver light extend from her body outwards in all directions, giving her the appearance of wearing a tattered, wind-blown cloak. | |||

Broad-shouldered and wide, not unlike a dwarf, this boggart has charcoal-grey skin covered in thick, wiry hair. His entire body is covered in a faint sheen of moisture, clammy more than sweaty, the slickness lending a stringy appearance to the long black hair that hangs limply from his scalp. His face is monstrously ugly save for his eyes, which are wide and saucer like, unabashedly innocent next to his vicious features. He carries himself with a predatory gait, trailing a long chain after himself as he prowls about. | |||

Fae are the lesser spirits of nature awakened by the Sixth Circle. They are native to the Ethereal Plane though some choose to dwell elsewhere.
History
- During the Elder Wars, the Sixth Circle and Seventh Circle worked together to help the fae manifest a collective Great Spirit which would become the Maeve and eventually style herself Queen.
- Manteekan used Fain's Elixir in his awakenings and altered the fae of Icewynderkyl Forest. For these acts, he was counted among the Twelve Traitors and exiled to the Void.
- Known types awoken or altered by Manteekan: banshee, grimalkin, redcaps, bogies, barghest, agropelters, hodekin, gumberoos, spriggans, whimpuses, tripoderos, snow wassets, slaugh and squonks.
- Hyfae, notably, are not associated with Queen Maeve.
- With Manteekan's return to the Basin in 441 CE, Bralki the redcap began to sell a new fae, the squonkabonk.
