Autumn Fairy’s fall colors camouflage her to blend with the tree leaves. Fairies are generally described as human in appearance and having magical powers. Diminutive fairies of one kind or another have been recorded for centuries, but occur alongside the human-sized beings; these have been depicted as ranging in size from very tiny up to the size of a human child. Wings, while common in Victorian and later artwork of fairies, are very rare in the folklore; even very small fairies flew with magic. Their camouflage green clothing and underground homes were credited to their need to hide and camouflage themselves from hostile humans, and their use of magic a necessary skill for combating those with superior weaponry.
