We don't exactly have any documentation or proof that fairies exist, except that if you search the internet or libraries, over the centuries there are thousands of drawings and artwork that exist about what people have thought fairies would look like.
- Fairies are often thought of as being very beautiful. They usually are depicted as having wings, often having magic powers, and even sometimes shown with a magic wand. They could bring you good luck, or prosperity if you treated them with respect.

- Fairies are also thought to be able to change from being visible or invisible at will. We have always heard or read that fairies either live in the woods, underground, or around the water. Most of them are thought to be able to fly.
- Fairies have been used for hundreds of years in fairy tales such as a Fairy God Mother in Cinderella, and Tinkerbelle in Peter Pan. These fairies in fairy tales always show peacefulness and goodness instead of evil and mischief.
