Sprite: Moon

SPRITE: MOON by Reagren Wright

Of all the faerie folk, Moon Sprites are among the most welcomed and well-regarded. For whatever reason, these tiny creatures are attracted to pain and suffering. They seek out the source and attempt to rid the victim’s misery. One could say these creatures are natural healers, who unlike humanoids don’t ask for anything in return, although they will accept rewards of sweets and alcohol (they enjoy alcohol as much as leprechauns). Those who attempt to capture or make friends with a moon sprite in order to make use of its healing powers soon discover that despite their apparent benevolence, they are faerie folk, and will soon make themselves a major nuisance. Moon sprites are natural invisible during daylight hours, but after sunset they become visible, showing off their pale skin, purple hair, and dark blue flickering wings. Moon Sprites prefer to live in thick, dark forest. They also attracted to lie in places inhabited by evil supernatural menaces, not that they welcome their company, but they are perfect places to make use of their talents.
