[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8392150, member: 58172"] Fairies pretty much are anthropomorphic. In Scotland, they are normal humans. In England, Shakespeare has them be human youths, from newborn to say 19. They are mostly normal size human children. Maybe the younger they look the more powerful they are. The monarchs are toddlers. Shakespeare mentions altho human size, they can shrink. They are made out of spirit so can shrink like angels can, but only to about the size of a thumbnail rather than dance on the head of a pin. By Victorian Era, fairies are often depicted shrunk. But fairies are humanoid. If you dont want to have humanoid, you dont have to have fairies. The Scandinavian equivalent of a fairy is a troll, who are humanoid, but whose families are mix of beautiful and monstrous members. To avoid anthropomorphism maybe make the trees and animals themselves be magical? [/QUOTE]
