==Fairies in SupernaturalHistory==
Fairies are supernatural creatures that all seem to have originated from a place called Avalon. Coming in a variety of forms and sizes, they can only be seen by those who have been to the fairy realm or those they allow to see them. According Marion, a fairy expert, there is a fairy leader called Oberon. When summoned by a spell, they can make deals with humans, oftentimes exchanging their services for a price, such as the right to all of the firstborn sons in an area. Fairies also appear to have great power. [[Wayne Whittaker|The Leprechaun]] claimed to know back ways into [[Hell]] and did not fear [[angel]]s or [[demon]]s. In recent years, fairies have been taking advantage of UFO myths to hide their activities, as the abductions, crop circles, and bright lights they make in the sky are all often attributed to alien encounters.<ref name="six09" >[[6.09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe...]]</ref>
Fairies are vulnerable to [[Ironiron]] and [[Silversilver]]. If someone pours [[salt]] or sugar in front of them, they have to stop to count each grain one by one. They also love cream, which, like [[alcohol]], intoxicates them. Fairies will remain in an area until banished by a spell or leave of their own free will.

==Varieties==
The different types of fairies the Winchesters encounter are:
[[File:Fairy.jpg|left|thumb|350px|[[Dean ]] confronts Tinkerbell.]]1. A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinker_Bell Tinkerbell-like] fairy attacks [[Dean ]] in their motel room. He describes her as "a little, glowing, hot, naked lady with nipples." Dean particularly notices her nipples. She also has wings. Dean kills her by luring her into a microwave and frying her. <ref name="six09" />

[[File:Elves.png|350px|left|thumb|The elves in the watchmaker's workshop.]]
2. Elves work in the watchmaker [[Mr. Brennan]]'s workshop as a result of the deal he made with a [[Wayne Whittaker|Leprechaunleprechaun]]. They get drunk on the cream that Mr. Brennan buys for them and are banished when [[Sam ]] reverses the ritual that Mr. Brennan used to summon them.<ref name="six09" />

[[File:RedcapFairy.png|left|350px|thumb|The Redcap who stalks [[Dean]].]]3. A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redcap Redcap] stalks [[Dean]]. These fairies are dangerously homicidal and are known for mercilessly killing travelers who trespass their territory. Their hats are red because they soak them in the blood of their victims, and, according to lore, Redcaps redcaps have to kill regularly because if the blood dries on their hats they will die. The Redcap redcap finally attacks Dean in his jail cell, but is banished with the rest of the fairies before he can kill him.<ref name="six09" />

[[File:LeprechaunWayne.png|350px|left|thumb|The leprechaun after revealing himself to Sam.]]
4. [[Sam ]] encounters a Leprechaun leprechaun that passes among humans as a man named [[Wayne Whittaker]]. He acts as a spokesman for a number of other fairies, and can make [[deals ]] with humans that include the exchange of their labor. As Wayne, he claims to be a UFO-specialist and works to spread UFO hysteria wherever he and the other fairies go so that they can avoid detection. When he and [[Sam ]] fight, it is obvious that he is very powerful, but Sam is able to spill salt in front of him and force him to count the grains. While he is occupied counting, Sam reverses the ritual used to summon him, banishing him and the other fairies.<ref name="six09" />
<br clear="all" />
[[File:GildatheGoodFairy.jpg|350px|left|thumb|[[Gilda ]] - The human-like fairy.]]
5. A human-like fairy named [[Gilda]] is controlled by [[Gerry]]. It is unclear what type of fairy she is, all she says about herself is that she's a good fairy. Under the control of Gerry, she injures several of his rivals in a [[LARPing]] game and kills two before [[Charlie Bradbury]] destroys Gerry's spellbook and sets her free.

==AppearancesEpisodes==
===[[3.02 The Kids Are Alright]]===
One origin story for [[changeling]]s is that they are fairies from Western European folklore.
===[[6.09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe...]]===
The brothers originally attribute the disappearances of four men to UFOs. After [[Dean ]] is abducted and escapes, [[Sam ]] deduces that they are dealing with fairies. They go to speak with [[Marion]], who appears knowledgeable on the subject. She tells Sam and Dean that fairies include "sprites and spriggans, boggarts and brownies" as well as elves, gnomes, and trolls. She says these creatures come from some sort of parallel universe. They are vulnerable to [[iron]] and [[silver]]. If someone pours salt or sugar in front of them they have to stop to count the grains.
They discover that the fairies were summoned by [[Mr. Brennan]] using a book he inherited from his grandmother. He made a [[deal ]] with the [[Leprechaun]], who agreed that the fairies would work in his shop in exchange for the "fruit and fat of the land." The fairies then proceeded to steal his and other firstborn sons in Elwood.
Mr. Brennan tries to reverse the spell that summoned the fairies, but the [[Leprechaun ]] kills him before he can finish. The Leprechaun seems to be very powerful, employing what he calls "real magic." He also claims that he can do what angels cannot and tries to make a deal with Sam for the return of his soul from [[Lucifer's Cage]].
Sam refuses the deal and defeats the Leprechaun by emptying a container of [[salt ]] in front of him. He is forced to sit down and count each grain while [[Sam ]] reads the incantation that banishes him and all of the other fairies.
===[[8.11 LARP and the Real Girl]]===
A good fairy named [[Gilda]] is put under a spell by [[Gerry]] who forces her to injure and later kill his rivals for [[Charlie Bradbury]]'s heart. According to Gilda, she is unable to free herself from the spell and it can only be broken by a hero destroying Gerry's spellbook. Under Gerry's orders, she captures Charlie so he can "rescue" her and become a hero and while Gilda holds Charlie prisoner, Charlie becomes attracted to Gilda and kisses her. Sam, Dean and Gerry arrive and Gerry forces Gilda to use a suit of armor to pin down Sam while he tries to kill Dean with a sword he has Gilda transform to real. In the fight that follows, Dean knocks Gerry's spellbook from him and Charlie stabs it with a knife, destroying it and breaking the spell. [[Dean ]] knocks out Gerry who Gilda takes back to her realm with her to face a fairy tribunal for his actions. Gilda and Charlie share a final kiss before Gilda leaves and Charlie hopefully calls after Gilda to call her.

* On 19th November 2010, the night [[6.09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe...]] aired, #FightTheFairies trended on Twitter. Similar to when #LuciferIsComing trended and caused much confusion, some on Twitter thought the hashtag was a homophobic slur. See [[Twitter]] for more info. [[Ben Edlund]] who wrote the episode, mentioned the incident at [[Paleyfest]] in March 2014. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTEwOptgqD0 video of Ben talking about Fight the Fairies].
