THE FAE

The Fae Folk (otherwise known as the Good Folk or simply "faeries") are said to come from an entirely different plane of existence that so happens to intersect with that of the clowders. They are found just about everywhere if one knows where to look. It’s important to note that there is not a singular type of faerie; the Fae appear in many different forms. Such as:

pixies.

Said to be the most commonly seen and sociable of the Fae, pixies are rather small humanoid-insectoid beings that live in gardens and woodland. They are very attracted to nature. They are known to decorate themselves in bright colors, clothes made from leaves and flowers. Pixies enjoy gifts of flowers, honey, and nectar; they will also appreciate if small dens are built for them. The clowders leave the most offerings to this type of Fae, believing it will bring them protection. If pixies take items from the cats, which they often do, there will always be an exchange of goods in the end. A faerie dislikes being in debt, especially in the realm of the clowders. Pixie villages, as the TwilightWhims call them, are well-hidden and are practically impossible to find. 

brownies.

A type of faerie known to work alongside humans and cats in their very homes. It is a relationship with mutual benefit; the home (or den-owners) offer the faeries food and shelter, while the faeries come out at night to tidy the area and fix anything that is broken or torn. They are said to be easily offended by disrespect or carelessness, and will leave their homes abruptly if upset. They are the most commonly mischievous of the Fae, known to pull pranks on the occupants of the den and will even punish misbehaving kits. They are quick to anger; cats with dens inhabited by mistreated brownies have claimed to be woken in the night because a brownie was biting them.

banshees.

  Most well known for their “scream of death”, banshees are a type of faerie that the TwilightWhims dread coming across. They are predictors of death, appearing to those who will either witness or experience an untimely demise. They are mostly seen inhabiting moorland. In the clowder, banshees are described as old, ragged mollies with long, tangled fur with eyes red from tears. Their cries can be heard from many distances away, and send a particular chill down one’s spine. The duration of the banshee’s presence is rather unpredictable; some may only appear for a moment, others will stay until their prediction follows through. 

will-o’-the-wisps.

A mysterious type of faerie that appears as a soft, glowing light which floats across the land, leading cats to their destinies. They often appear in groups and are considered guides in all realms. It is said that the wisps will only come to cats in moments of great importance, revealing hidden truths or escorting them from imminent danger.
