Brownie

Brownies are members of the so called lesser fae also called house spirits. They may become attached to a human family or one member of the family, and secretly work for them. Brownies usually prefer rural homes and farms, where they may work at night, farming or cleaning.

Favorite Brownie foods include a bowl of cream or rich, whole milk; cakes with honey; and corn muffins, possibly served with honey. One of their powers includes levitating. They can levitate objects but not themselves.
