These elusive creatures are shy, but folktales say they are very important to the welfare of crops and the supply of water. Those in Ariella pay homage to these small sprites often, hoping they keep the wells and springs filled with life giving water.
Standing about six inches tall with teardrop shaped blue or sea green wings, their bodies appear to be made of water, transparent blue or sea green in color. They are solid enough, but can meld with water if they wish to travel great distances in but mere heartbeats. They have big blue eyes and antannae used for finding water when they can't find the water visually. They wear no clothes, either, but are beautiful to behold.
They live anywhere from solitary to in huge family groups. The Ariellans beleive that when the spring floods come this is when the little water fairies come together to have their celebrations and if anyone is stupid to disrupt them there are droughts to follow. Many leave small trinkets for the fairies so they will bless them with water. The fairies love the trinkets and in some places have become very protective of "their" humanoids.
They command the waters with ease and can save a life or snuff it out easily. They do guard water ways, wells, and springs and can take or give the water as they see fit.
