Fairies are classified in a variety of ways -the division into the Seelie Court and the Unseelie Court. <br/>

The categorization of fairies based on court is whether or not they are a light or dark fairy. Light fairies are known for playing pranks on humans and having a light hearted attitude, forgetting their sorrows quickly and not realizing how they might be affecting the humans they are playing pranks on.

= Seelie Court =
The Seelie court are known to possibly seek help from humans, to warn those who had accidentally offended them, and to return human kindness with favours of their own. Still, a fairy belonging to this court will avenge insults and could be prone to mischief. <br/>

The most common time of day to see them is twilight. Other names for the Seelie court are 'The Shining Throng' and 'The Golden ones' and 'The light Court'.

= Unseelie Court =
The Unseelie Court consists of the darkly-inclined fairies. Unlike the Seelie Court, no offense is necessary to bring down their assaults. <br/>
As a group (or "host"), they appear at night and assault travellers, often carrying them through the air, beating them, and forcing them to commit such acts as shooting elfshot at cattle. <br/>
Like the beings of the Seelie Court who are not always benevolent, neither are the fairies of the Unseelie Court always malevolent. Most Unseelies can become fond of a particular human if they are viewed as respectful, and would chose to make them something of a pet.
