They're somewhat related to outsiders and elementals, in the way that they are created as embodiment of their environment. They're a personification of nature, just like an archon is a personification of lawfulgoodness and a fire elemental is a personification of fire.By nature, I don't necessarily mean the "mossy trees and cute li'l butterflies" vision of nature that D&D often seems to have. I mean it as the world. They're personification of their environment -- which can be affected by humanoids. That's why you'll have urban fey (personification of cities) or creatures like the ragewind (personification of a battlefield).One could say they are Insiders as opposed to Outsiders.Also, they have in common a mischevious attitude and a total lack of long term memory. They live in the Now. Contrarily to outsiders that will plot things and stuff, they'll just care about carping the diem and doing what they do. If a fey witness the death of a loved one, she'll weep for a whole day. On the morrow, she'll still be sad, but less. After a week, she won't remember exactly why she was sad. Just faint impressions, a few memories, and a feeling of loss. After a month, it'll be completely forgotten and she'll be back to normal.So they may seem uncaring and heartless to mortals who still remember. But they aren't, their grieving was sincere. It's just totally forgotten.</blockquote>
