Headcanons/inferences about the Fairy Race from 7DS/nnt
🌱 They're vegetarian. Meaning they can't digest actual flesh. We see Harlequin eat things that have eggs and/or milk in them, but he always hesitates when offered actual meat. And whenever all the guys go out hunting, King either gathers fruit or...sleeps xD
🌿 They're born from oversized versions of regular plant buds.
🌱 They're naked when they're born just like everyone else. You may not think I need to headcanon that, but some people headcanon that they're born clothed like Never Fairies. Which is fine, just not the one I subscribe to.
🌿 All of their clothes are just open in the back or backless for their wings. I know the manga and anime don't reflect this thought at all, but I can't really figure out how their wings work otherwise.
🌱 And about their wings! Basically cartilaginous joints that form on their shoulder blades as they mature. That's why it would make that horrible sound when they get ripped off, like the sound a dislocating shoulder makes. Gross...
🌿 Fairies live forever. I know now the wiki says they have a definitive lifespan, but when I first joined the fandom, in 2022, it said something different. And I just actually think this makes more sense. See this post for my reasoning.
🌱 Fairies don't really practice any sort of formal agriculture. They mostly just get whatever they need from around them.
🌿 Fairies can compliment each other's wings, but it's weird if another race does it.
🌱 Fairies with round ears are needed to make babies. They can do it with other races and even other Fairies with pointed ears, but at least 1 of the Fairies in the pairing has to have naturally round ears for babies to happen.
🌿 Fairies don't really have architecture the way humans would think of it. They make their homes in tree hollows.
🌱 The Fairy King's Forest grows all sorts of plants that aren't native to Britannia. Not just things native to the Fairy Realm, but plants from other regions of the Human Realm too. Regardless of things like climate and grow zones.
🌿 The Fairy King's Forest does shift through the four seasons as if it were a temperate zone, but because of all the magic the plants don't really die in the winter. The color of foliage and what's in bloom changes from season to season.
🌱 Most Fairies are aroace. The majority of the Fairy Clan aren't interested in romance at all and are just really close friends. Even fewer have any interest in sex and the ones that do are only interested in it if it's with someone they're in love with.
🌿 Most Fairies are ambidextrous. Some do favor right or left, but it's less common.
🌱 Gloxinia and Dahlia have scales on their wings like a moth or butterfly, that's what gives them that irridecent, rainbowy quality. Still don't know why Harlequin is different though :p (credit to @juiceyobsessionist for this idea)
🌿 Black Hounds aren't extinct, they're just really rare. (This one's barely headcanon as far as I know, I don't think Nakaba ever outrightly said anything about this outside of a character. Jenna just said she thought they were extinct, but she's a Goddess possessing the body of a Druid, why the hell would she know?)
