Some faeries aren't the beings we're used to seeing depicted, tiny people flying around on gossamer wings (though their mischief and magic is something all fae have in common). Rather, they are wingless, born down in the soil and possessing qualities - both in appearance and enchantment - of certain flora or fungi, as well as the pointy ears signature to fae. When Nature's cycle begins anew, after Autumn has gone and Winter is almost spent, Spring begins to emerge. Green is the first color and sign of the new season - the tiniest sprouts popping up out of the soil and leaves on branches so bright green that they're almost yellow. If you look closer at one of these buds, you might realize that they aren't leaves at all, but a sprout fae, who is still just as tiny and brightly colored as any of the other sprouts. Nurtured by the ever-growing sunlight and Winter storms turned to Spring showers, sprout faeries such as this one tend to gravitate towards gardens and fields of wildflowers. They prefer to sleep nestled in the middle of a flower, wearing clothes fashioned out of the softest, most fragrant petals and leaves - as seen on this baby fae who is wearing a wild rose petal and mint leaf outfit complete with a cherry blossom hat. As she grows, she may even sprout her own leaves or blossoms and with them that plant's magical properties (similar to how the mushroom fae has his permanent cap and corresponding magic), but until then she will be content to frolic amongst flowerbeds and meadows, gathering knowledge and magic from any plant willing to share.
