Fairy characters

With fairies the wings decide whether it works. Translucent and insectile is the common read here — one that buzzes loudly when its owner is irritated, another catching lamplight feather by feather. A foot tall leaves the rest of the frame almost no room, so the wings and the face end up doing everything.

Wings decide most of each picture. Iridescent ones that flash between emerald and sapphire, wings like translucent amber leaves veined with gold, wings patterned with the night sky in indigo and violet, wings like leaves, a rainbow shimmer. Skin goes beyond the usual, soft teal with leaf patterns, emerald, lavender, pearl, the green of dew on a leaf. Sorcerers lead, but fighters and paladins are close behind, and a tiny fairy in armour makes a good contrast. Most stand around three feet here rather than one, which leaves more room for the face.
