A Fairy of the Stars was an extremely powerful being, possessing very strong magical powers. The fairy also sports large, butterfly-esque wings. There could only be one at a time, and each one could only be the Fairy of the Stars for up to 1,000 years. Then they had to retire and lose 90% of their magical strength. Upon reaching the retirement point the current Fairy must find a young child, always a girl but not always Human, who was kind, moral, and responsible. They then ask the child to become their successor, and if the child accepts, that child soon developes the wings and the immense magical power. The retiring Fairy, who must lose 90% of their power, can choose to let it all dissipate or to give some to a well-chosen individual as a last gift.
