A fairy (妖精) is a simple creature of magic that represents some aspects of nature. Many of them are also simple-minded. "Fairy" is sometimes used interchageably with "elf", but fairies have none of the rich cultural background usually associated with elven races.
Fairies may have abilities relating to the four seasons, weather, emotions, longevity, decay, fertility, or other aspects of nature. The power exercised by a single fairy is usually harmless and small scale, so it's more suited to playing than causing great events. That's fine, though, since most fairies are easily amused.
