Fairy
From King's Quest Omnipedia
Fairies or Faeries are a race of graceful and delicate beings with magical powers. They are (mostly) benevolent, and live in both Daventry and Etheria. Genesta is the Queen of the Fairies in Daventry, and Culatha is the Queen of fairies of the Old Wood. In Eldritch fairies are ruled by Oberon and Titania.
Fairies are said to live hundreds of years, but must spend one day of each week in the form of some animal - a bird or a dolphin for instance.
Fairies can be tall or tiny in form, but they are almost always winged and good. Major fairies are about the height of humans and some have butterfly wings. They can appear and disappear as apparitions. They have powers with their magic wands and (at least in the case of Genesta) talismans. While they are immune to time and age, therefore practically immortal, if they loose their talisman, their powers and life is at stake. They like to help people with their magic, but some, like Lolotte choose to be evil.
Another kind of fairies are of small size, always flying, and never talk. They seem to serve and help the major fairies.
Sometimes the term fairy kingdom can include elves as well.
According to Kingdom of Sorrow, Woodland Fairies of the Old Wood view time in aeons rather than years.
Ice Fairies once lived in the Vale of Obscurity, but now live near the coast of the Sea of Barnacles.
