~Sprites~
Description
Sprites are flighty creatures that have much magic in them, and can also be referred to as fairies or pixies. They tend to be small in size, the usual less than a foot high, though they can make themselves human sized for convenience. They can have pointed ears, like elves, and are known for beauty, both males and females. The most distinguishing feature of a sprite are its wings, which range from butterfly to beetle in design, and can rarely even be feathered as an angel’s are. They are slight beings, skinny to almost the point of frailty, and thus rely on their magic rather than fighting.
Culture
Sprites, due to their size, not only respect nature but often live in it. Clothes are usually clever imitations of leaves and flowers (or actual leaves and flowers) or other loose, flowing wears. Also, their size gives them a sort of impunity to other races, giving them a great love for mischief.

Note
Size is only a disadvantage if hit, which is harder to do if your enemy is the size of a doll. That is why Sprites tend to fight in their real size during battle, even if they take on a more human form in general life. Archer Sprites of course would remain human sized, unless their toothpick Sprite sized arrows have one heck of a punch.
