While a faerie's court will often predict a fae's alignment near enough, there are always many who do not fit to type, such as benevolent unseelie and malevolent seelie. All fae are able to exist in a small form more typically associated with fairies and also in full sized forms. Some communities only exist in one form or another out of personal choice, but fae cities tend to cater for both sizes.
Half Fae - It is notable that fae carry the ability to breed with nearly any other race. A "half-fae" can be one of many things: half-wild fae, half-unseelie, half-seelie or half-elf. These people often find themselves not fitting into either magical OR mundane society, not fully. A half-unseelie will feel drawn back to the unseelie lands but won't be welcomed without difficult trials to prove they are worthy. Similar can be said for the half-seelie. Half-elves will be tolerated in elven society but shunned within it, considered lesser or of bad breeding. No matter their scholarly accomplishments, they will always be considered lesser unless able to prove themselves through a great feat. They showcase strong draconic mutations like their kin, most notably horns.

SEELIE
descriptor
Ruled by King Castien and Queen Faraine - The seelie are considered to be more aligned with good/light than their unseelie counterparts. The seelie court consists of faeries that are far more tolerant than many other faeries. They often warn those who don't understand their customs that they have offended or been unintentionally rude rather than immediately punishing the culprit, though they will violently avenge intended insults. They are prone to mischief and pranks, but are far more noble and arrogant than other faeries. Only lords or those higher in rank than lords have insect wings. They are associated with greens, golds, pale unicorns and other light-aligned creatures.

UNSEELIE
descriptor
Ruled by King Mordun (Moor-doon) - The Unseelie are considered the 'darker' of the faeries and are more commonly aligned with 'evil'. They are considered vengeful and insults are harshly punished whether they were intended or not. Unseelie are known for being involved in the Wild Hunt, in which many humans wandering the wilds were/are rumored to be killed. They're known for tricking and assaulting travelers for their own personal agenda or simply their own amusement. They can often manipulate lesser minds with silver tongues or magic. Occasionally unseelie take to a respectful mundane being, such as a human, and may try to keep them as a pet in their household, though they are also known for cruelly kidnapping humans and using them as slaves. Unseelie are known for creating abominations, creatures born of unseelie magic. These creatures will always return to the unseelie lands and linger on their borders or within, feeling a constant draw. Sadly this constant draw applies to half-unseelie offspring as well who may not be as welcome.

Notes:
- Unseelie cuisine: a notable interest in (often magical) insect cuisine, root vegetables, and dark fruits
WILD FAE
descriptor
Wild Fae are neither seelie or unseelie. They are often neutrally aligned and are a law unto themselves. They very much enjoy pranking and harassing fae and mundie alike, and can sometimes be aggressive to get what they want. Their behaviour can be considered playful and puckish most of the time. Many are solitary, though there are some communities in the trees where they live, often in small fairy form.

Notes:
- Wild Fae cuisine: the most likely to fall under the stereotype of eating nothing but fresh/raw fruits, vegetables, and meats due a lack of true culture
ELVES
descriptor
Ruled by the Elven Council - Elves are noble, scholarly, often arrogant fae of varied alignments and ethnicities. No matter what sort of elven society they live in, be they plain or elementally attuned, one thing is certain; they take no nonsense and take great pride in their luxuries. The elven cities and settlements of the west are a testament to their magical advances and scholastic tendencies, tall towers, gold, curving and often floral architecture and engravings. Statues and paintings stand a testament to their appreciation for the arts. It's rare they'll seek life outside of these places, but as always there are those who don't fit in, or those who believe that knowledge cannot all come from inside a book.
Racial Details
- historically among the earliest to arrive alongside the dragons and dwarves, and like the latter showcase draconic traits, particularly in the form of horns (standard for the race)
- long lived and showcasing slow growth, even as children

Notes:
- Elvish cuisine: aren't too far from the tastes of the seelie, but have more extravagant cooked spreads and less in the way of fresh or deli ingredients - a lot of elaborate dishes and baked goods like twisted pastries with berry jams and beef wellingtons. a great deal of berries, herb usage, and wine-based sauces
