Tree Barkyface is a fairy who looks more like a friendly cockroach than a traditional sprite. He has glossy black chitin, long antennae, translucent wings, and shiny black eyes. He has no hair and wears black armor with a black cloak, which makes him look like a tiny shadow with a brave heart. He is 3'4" tall and weighs 38 pounds.

Tree Barkyface is gentle, brave, and impossible to bully. He loves video games, chocolate cake, amusement parks like Busch Gardens, and anything black in color. He does not understand magic very well, so he likes clear rules, simple plans, and a sword he can trust. He believes helping others is always the right answer, even when it makes him late.

Tree Barkyface grew up on the edge of a bright little meadow where the village children would run, laugh, and chase beetles through the grass. He never looked like the other fairies, and some of the older fey thought his shiny black shell and buggy face made him strange. Tree Barkyface never cared. He cared about doing what was right. If someone dropped groceries, he picked them up. If a bully shoved a smaller kid, he stood in the way. If a dog needed help, he helped the dog first and asked questions later. One morning, while walking to school, he stopped to help an elderly woman whose legs were tired and whose dog kept pulling at the leash. Tree Barkyface spent so long helping her that he arrived late, but he was proud of it. That was the day he understood what kind of hero he wanted to be. He picked up a sword and shield because magic felt confusing and slippery, but helping people felt simple. Now he travels with a brave little heart, ready to protect others, cheer them up, and show that even a fairy who looks like a cockroach can be a true folk hero.
