These dress in foliage and double as tree guardians. They dislike all other creatures and jealously guard birch trees from them.
Folletto:
The Folletto travel in the wind and can be seen at play, causing swirls in the dust. They are male; small and light and practically invisible, but their distinguishing feature is that their toes point backwards. They seem to pay no attention to other creatures, but can be mischievous and annoying. They change the weather merely for their own sport and not for any baneful purpose.

Sylph:
A fairy of the air or wind. They are described as being taller and stronger than normal fairies with a volatile temperament. Their wings are almost two times it’s body length, but they fold up behind the sylph. They have large, hawk like eyes and sharp, angular faces. A sylph can live to be hundreds of years old, often reaching one thousand, but never seeming to grow old. Sylphs are loners, and are content to fly with the birds. They are similar to invisible angels whose voice could be heard in the wind. Sylphs defend the high mountain peaks and wilderness mountains that are home to them. They have also been described as the transformed souls of those who died chaste. They often take the form of a moth.
