Fairy Clan

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

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 they sealed up the gates to the Demon Realm by creating the Coffin of Eternal Darkness. The Fairies lived in peace in the Fairy Realm and the Fairy King's Forest, and at some point, created the Fountain of Youth until a group of Fairies were captured by humans, seven hundred years ago before the start of the series and the current Fairy King, Harlequin went out to save them, but end up forgetting who he is. The Fairies later mysteriously left the Fairy King's Forest, leaving Elaine behind to protect the Fountain.

Appearance
The fairies have a variety of appearances. They range from a variety of sizes with the weaker ones being the size of traditional fairies, the larger more powerful ones appears as the same size as a human child with fairy wings. However the royal family, Harlequin and Elaine, are the only known fairies without wings.

Powers and Abilities
The fairies are all known to be a very powerful race, especially their king whose power is at least Great Holy Knight in rank. Despite their main abilities the fairies all share some common ability amongst their kind. Such abilities are:


 * Heart/Mind Reading:The fairies has the ability to read human minds, thoughts and memories.
