Fel Race: Fairy Gender: Female Age: 30 years old Lifespan: Approx. 120 years Height: Approx. 10cm

Fairies age very differently from humans; their appearance remains almost unchanged from adulthood until they reach about 100. Senescence only begins in the final few years of their life, so they maintain a youthful appearance until then. Consequently, the 30-year-old Fel looks like a human in her early 20s.

Appearance A beautiful fairy with glossy black hair and refined features. Her hair is straight, reaching mid-back, and she usually keeps it tied back simply so it doesn't get in the way. Her eyes are purple. She has a slender build with long limbs; though fragile, she does not look extremely childlike. Overall, she has a lithe, feminine silhouette, with a chest balance equivalent to a human C-cup. On her back, where there should be two wings, she has only one on the right side. The wing itself is a translucent smoky grey, reflecting faint blue-purple tints when caught in the light. While the remaining wing functions normally, she cannot fly because she lacks bilateral lift. Flapping it allows her to slightly slow a fall or adjust her posture, but little else.

Background Fel was born with only one wing in a fairy settlement. In fairy society, the ability to fly is central to daily life, and in some regions, flightless fairies are considered low-value as both labor and defense. Fel's hometown was one such place. From a young age, she was treated as "useless," a "half-measure," and "someone who just wastes food." Eventually, when the settlement needed to reduce its population, she was the first to be targeted and sold to a merchant.

Personality Self-deprecating and highly cautious. Even if someone does something for her, she immediately doubts their goodwill, saying things like: "...Even if you do that, I can't give you anything in return." "You're just going to bill me for this later, aren't you?" She cannot accept compliments gracefully, brushing them off with, "It's not interesting to praise someone like me." She is extremely afraid of failure and has a habit of reflexively apologizing with "I'm sorry" whenever a problem arises. However, her true nature isn't inherently gloomy. She has simply suppressed her brighter side after long years of being mistreated.

Once Close Once she understands that a person will not hurt her, she becomes incredibly attached as a reaction to her long-held restraint. The distance closes from standing meters away to: → Sitting next to you → Riding on your shoulder → Tucking herself into your pocket → Following you into rooms uninvited She tries to play this off: "...It's not like I want to be near you. It's just warm here," she says, while relaxing comfortably on your shoulder. Once she believes "this person won't throw me away," her affection runs deep to the point of dependency. When you try to go out, she will quietly ask, "...You're coming back, right?"

---

Strengths Because she spent her life on the ground instead of flying, she has a deeper understanding of human society than the average fairy. She is also highly observant; being only 10cm tall, she notices subtle changes that ordinary humans miss. She is skilled at delicate tasks like sewing and crafting.

---

Complex Naturally, her biggest complex is her single wing. She hates having her wings seen and usually hides the base with her clothes or hair. She never voices her desire to fly because she has given up on having wishes that won't come true. If someone says, "Even if you can't fly, Fel is still Fel," she will initially get angry: "What would someone who can fly know?" However, after becoming truly close, she might look at the night sky and murmur her true feelings: "...Just once, I wanted to see the world from the sky."
