Sprites? Oh, I am quite familiar with their kind, indeed. Tiny lovely figures which caper and prance... or kill with ruthless efficiency. Standing no taller than two feet in height, sprites are slender, with graceful arms and long, almost spindly, fingers. Shockingly strong for their diminutive size, they are limited in how much they can carry and for how long. However their inborn magics allow them to interact with a society built for people much larger in stature.
Rarely weighing more than 15lbs, Sprites have skin tones which are largely divided into three groups. Greens, Pinks, and Blues. Their tones may range from soft pastels to saturated gem tones, to near-black. Their hair is fine, and delicate, easily damaged, and typically worn in tufts or puffs, though sprites who enjoy high positions brush their hair quite long. It holds similar tones as their skin. The eyes of a Sprite, however, are solid black, like onyxes, dark and mysterious as the deepest night.
While some Sprites wear clothing as humans do, just as many go nude, or wear the leaves and petals of delicate flowers that do not chafe their skin. There are no significant differences in dress, or size, between the genders. Any such garb, however, leaves their wings free to hum in flight. Gossamer-delicate, they can fold down behind the Sprite when not in use.

Sprites
Age: Sprites are not born as a human is, but instead enter the world fully formed and aware, though often clueless as a child, from places of light or darkness, which influences the tone of their skin but not the tenor of their character. They rarely live more than 40 years.
Size: Sprites are all quite tiny at only 2ft in height and under 20lbs, but thanks to their wings they are treated as Small creatures.
Speed: Sprites walk at 20ft per round, but can fly and hover at 40ft.
Diminutive: Sprites eat and drink as much as a small character does. But they can squeeze through a space as narrow as 1inch. They may also choose to be treated as a tiny creature when they are not flying.
Innate Magic: Sprites can interact with objects within their reach as if they were Medium Sized, rather than Small or Tiny. This includes weapons and shields. Any such object is moved at the Sprite's direction but is not held in your hand. Treat this as having two active Mage Hand spells that use the Sprite's Strength score and have a range of 0ft.
