CLAN FAERIE
Clan Faerie is a clan of Mandalorians I have no true knowledge of. To be honest, as I record these words, I will admit that what information I have is pure speculation and hearsay.
I first heard of Clan Faerie from Oni Mariko and Oni Yasaka. I will be honest and believed they were playing a joke upon me as they described the clan. It is only due to the fact that, in my research on Mandalorian Clans, encounters and discussions with various Mandalorians, and the fact I have heard of the Faerie Clan from multiple sources that I bother to include them at all.
I have found no sources detailing the origins of Clan Faerie, and thus cannot share any. According to rumor, their crest is two stars, the one on the right of the crest larger, or brighter, than the one on the left.
According to what I have researched, and heard of, Clan Faerie is primarily one race. This is not too unusual among Mandalorian clans, at least not enough to truly be of note...at least not until the description of this race is given. I have heard the race as being called several different names, sprites, pixies, fae, even faerie itself...I cannot be sure what is the proper name. What is universal, is the description given for the race.
Humanoid in appearance, with fully functioning wings sprouting from their backs...and standing no more than 16 centimeters in height.
There are sometimes other attributes given to them, such as blue skin, pointed ears, sharp teeth, and even tails, and their wings have been described in so many ways that there is no truly universal aspect to the race beyond being humanoid, having wings, and their height. In truth, I cannot think of any race that would seem less likely to be a Mandalorian.
The only other consistent fact I have found is that, supposedly, the Clan lives on a single ship, though how big this ship is varies from being a small freighter, all the way up to the size of a capital ship. I would add that, though every story I have been told features female members of Clan Faerie, and I am unable to find a single story featureing a male member of the clan, there is no evidence to suggest the race that makes up clan Faerie is only female, though there is no evidence they are not as well.
Over the course of my research into Mandalorian clans, I have found many different stories about Clan Faerie, too many to list if I am honest. It seems that almost every clan has their own tale of Clan Faerie. As such, I am only going to summarize the three I have heard, though not always exactly as before, most often.
The first tale, I surprisingly found in the Jedi Archives as well as hearing from several clans. It speaks of a member of Clan Faerie that followed around a Jedi Knight. While I have heard many different names given to this Knight, the records I found in the Jedi Archive name them as Jedi Knight Pan and Tink. The two went on a variety of adventures, most often repeated is their confrontations with a large variety of pirate gangs. The endings of the story vary, from Pan returning the Jedi Order alone, spending his life alongside Tink, sometimes as a lover and sometimes as a best friend, to leaving Tink for another woman. Over the many iterations, Tink has shown numerous skills and abilities that may, or may not, be real. Among these are the strength to lift and handle objects many times her own size, to glow, to make others fly, and grow to be the size of a typical humanoid (which may explain they few stories were her and Pan become lovers).
The second tale focuses on a member of Clan Faerie that lives on a forest planet. Sometimes this is Felucia, sometimes Kashykk, and sometimes one of the many numerous forested planets across the galaxy. The Faerie Clan in the story, most often named Crysta, is fighting against either a Sith Lord, or a Mega Corperation that is attempting to destroy the planet. Crysta often shrinks down a humanoid that works for the corporation or Sith, sometimes both, that ends up falling in love with her.
The last tale is...I must confess, nothing short of an erotic tale that involves a member of Faerie Clan taking a humanoid lover. The tale often varies, though the core element of stays the same. A member of the Faerie Clan come across a humanoid asleep, and decided to seduce them. From here, the story often varies widely. Sometimes the Faerie in question invades the dreams of their target. Sometimes the Faerie becomes the size of the humanoid, or shrinks the humanoid to their size. Sometimes the Faerie and humanoid somehow copulates without any size change.
As I said, I cannot confirm that this clan actually exist. Clan Faerie may simply be a tale created by the Mandalorian Clans...though for what purpose I cannot say. To be honest I cannot even imagine what weapons beings described as being Clan Faerie could use that would allow them to follow the Resol'nare.
I'll be honest, this clan was developed on the hillarious thought of Tinkerbell, or any other fairy, as a Mandalorian warrior, and considered as such. And I'm just kinda hoping this inspires someone to write a story with such a thing, as the last line sums up perfectly my actual thoughts on a fairy as a Mandalorian.
