Height is uniformly small, from the degree where they can fit in the palm of one's hand, up to the size of a child below ten years of age. There is hardly any fairy outside of this scope. |

Even if they suffer large injuries so that their bodies are in pieces, they heal immediately. |

In a stricter sense fairies can't die. |

Since their concept of death differs from that of humans it may look so, it is also said that they simply are stupid. |

Fairies don't really need to eat, but they see the way humans deliciously eat their meals, and copy them and eat the same things as humans. |

There are also occasionally pranks that go too far, such as when you get pushed off a cliff, or when your back is set on fire, so it is necessary to be cautious. |

Fairies won't go near cautious people. |

Therefore, if you usually pay attention to your surroundings you should be fine. |

The truth is that while fairies are reckless, they don't like fighting much at all. |

When a human notices the prank, the fairies will probably get away as fast as they can. |

However, there are also the occasional exceptions where without doing any pranks, they just suddenly attack. |

At such times you must be careful. |

That is because there is a possibility that it is a warning for something. |

At such times I think it's best if you just quietly head back home. |
