Fairy Clan

The Fairy Clan is one of the five major races in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai.

Overview
Over three thousand years ago, the Fairy Clan along with three of the other four major races (Humans, Giants and Goddess) defeated the Demon Clan. They were victorious and used the Coffin of Eternal Darkness to seal away the Demon Clan. The Fairies lived peacefully in the Fairy Realm and protected the Fountain of Youth in the Fairy King's Forest.

Fairy wings are believed to be able to make medicine that extends one's life, hence they have a very high monetary worth.

Appearance
Fairies have a variety of different appearances. Most fairies possess a pair of pointy ear, with King and Elaine being exceptions. Their wings differ in shape, ranging from insectile forms to several forms. King and Elaine are the only fairy that is seen without any wings.

Powers and Abilities
The fairies are known to be a very powerful race, notably King who is as strong as a Great Holy Knight. Members of the Fairy Clan are capable of controlling and manipulating roots and branches of the sacred tree, using them in combat. They also share several supernatural abilities amongst their kind:
 * Heart/Mind Reading: The ability to read into the minds and thoughts of others.
 * Levitation: They also possesses the ability to levitate and is capable of flight. They have demonstrated great skill in using it and is able to move quickly through the air. Levitate of surrounding objects and people have also been demonstrated.
 * Transformation: An ability that allows a user to alter their physical appearance and apparels. It requires a great amount of concentration and reduces a fairy's power when utilizing this ability. It leaves the user somewhat exhausted, however, King and Helbram are able to maintain their transformations for a very long period of time.

Trivia
