A fairy is a type of mythical being or legendary creature found in the folklore of multiple European cultures, a form of spirit, often described as metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural.

Myths and stories about fairies do not have a single origin, but are rather a collection of folk beliefs from disparate sources. Various folk theories about the origins of fairies include casting them as either demoted angels or demons in a Christian tradition, as deities in Pagan belief systems, as spirits of the dead, as prehistoric precursors to humans, or as spirits of nature.

The label of fairy has at times applied only to specific magical creatures with human appearance, magical powers, and a penchant for trickery. At other times it has been used to describe any magical creature, such as goblins and gnomes. Fairy has at times been used as an adjective, with a meaning equivalent to "enchanted" or "magical". It is also used as a name for the place these beings come from, the land of Fairy.

A recurring motif of legends about fairies is the need to ward off fairies using protective charms. Common examples of such charms include church bells, wearing clothing inside out, four-leaf clover, and food. Fairies were also sometimes thought to haunt specific locations, and to lead travelers astray using will-o'-the-wisps. Before the advent of modern medicine, fairies were often blamed for sickness, particularly tuberculosis and birth deformities.

In addition to their folkloric origins, fairies were a common feature of Renaissance literature and Romantic art, and were especially popular in the United Kingdom during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Celtic Revival also saw fairies established as a canonical part of Celtic cultural heritage.

Im 26 and going to be buying a condo soon. My sister is 21 and wants to move out, but can't buy a condo yet. I get the sense that my parents aren't completely against the idea. It sounds rude, but if she is living with me then there's obligation to split equity. When I go to sell half of what I make will have to be hers. She has said herself that I could charge her for rent, but that's stupid to me. Our parents are giving her the option to live with them rent free until she can get her own place, but she'd rather have independence. Aside from splitting equity, I'm also concerned about how the idea would affect my social/ romantic life. I feel it would be kinda off putting if a girl knew I had my own place, but wasn't living by myself. Even though it is my place she would know she probably couldn't come over much and there would be no privacy.

Would this be a deal breaker to you?

~ I also hope I don't sound rude. If my sister was living on the street, of course I'd let her come live with me. But she is being given the option to still live with our parents rent free just as I did the same.
