When looking at the stars covering the night sky, it may sometimes seem that one is surrounded by the eyes of countless beasts or youkai.

And there is a fairy with eyes that can survey as far as the light that falls down from the stars.

That is the starlight fairy, Star Sapphire.

She rarely attacks or disturbs humans, but she mostly causes trouble by helping with other fairies' (*1) pranks.

Her stature is quite short, and she possesses large, butterfly-like wings.

As this fairy is very attentive to movements, you will soon be found if you try to approach her.

Capturing her is extremely difficult, and she is rarely sighted alone.

Normally, she is seen in the company of Sunny Milk and Luna Child.

1: The sunlight and the moonlight ones. The three troublesome Fairies of Light.

"I caught this huge butterfly in the bird-warding nets." (Vegetable farmer)

She probably can't notice things that don't move.

Since she has butterfly wings, you could imagine her looking as if caught in a spider's web.

"I saw the ice fairy and the light fairies having a fight.(*2) The blue one was just looking and laughing from below." (Anonymous)

Fairies are very self-centered, so they easily come into conflict with each other.

In this case, as the ice fairy is used to fighting, she would likely win by herself even against 3.

In addition, Star Sapphire always keeps calm and avoids fighting so much it can be hard to tell on what side she is.

2: When fairies start something, they can't think of anything else. If they start to fight, they won't pay any attention to their surroundings. So, if you find them in the middle of a fight, you can place bets on which one will win if you wish.

Even though she cannot do a great amount of direct damage, she basically acts with with other two fairies, so the same counter-measure mentioned for Sunny Milk can be employed.

However, when she is on observation duty for the other fairies, she can be a threat.

Because even if you try, you can't elude her ability.

The best and most reliable counter-measure against it is to use a separate creature.

Star Sapphire's ability can't distinguish between a human and a similarly-sized animal.

So, if you slip into a herd of animals and move along with them, she might not even notice you.

In fact, this could be an interesting game as well.

By using animals as decoys, you can lure out Star Sapphire and the others, and catch them at that time.

In other words, this would be fairy-fishing(*3).

3: Catch-and-release is good manners.
