Yosei

Yosei

A small and graceful fairly like yokai. Yosei are common of places of nature like magic forests. They may have insect-like wings reminiscent of butterflies, dragonflies, or moths, shimmering with a translucent or iridescent glow.Their skin tones might reflect natural elements, ranging from leafy green hues to moonlit silver or even petal-pink. Hair colors are often vibrant, reflecting the environment they inhabit (e.g., bright blues, deep purples, soft golds). Yosei often exude a mystical aura, marked by a faint glow, subtle floral scent, or gentle wind that seems to follow them. Some Yosei are known for their playful, mischievous nature, leading travelers astray in the forest or playing pranks, though rarely with malicious intent. Yosei come in a variety of forms, often elemental, and their high wisdom makes them suitable for classes like druid.
