Ripple Star Fairy Headcanons Part 2!
By the request of more people than I expected
You can (and should) read part one here!
- Fairies make a very unique chittering sound when happy. The shiny crystal collect noise? Not actually the crystal, that’s Ribbon!
- They aren’t that good at using their legs, despite being some of the only creatures in the universe to have actual legs. Most fairies just choose to flutter around because walking is tiring
- Fairies love to perch on high places! This can be up on top of shelves, on fences, rooftops. Pretty much any elevated place. They’ll also sit on the head of a certain artist. Adeleine doesn’t mind though. She enjoys when Ribbon does that
- They’re a lot stronger than you’d expect! Your average fairy can carry something up to 10x their own weight! And because flying doesn’t tire them out, they can carry it indefinitely
- They all have some form of magic. Usually it’s nothing more than harmless little light shows for normal fairies, but royal fairies have a much more diverse and more powerful spread of magic
- All of them hate rainy weather. It makes their wings too wet to use. Usually they’ll stay inside, but if they have to go out, they’re awkwardly using their legs and dressed in big raincoats. Despite the always warm and sunny weather of Ripple Star, it doesn’t rain often, so this is usually only an issue when they’re off planet
- They love being scratched under the chin or on their backs. Unsurprisingly, they’re also fond of belly rubs
- Young fairies will often gnaw on crystals. They can’t eat them, but they still chew on them anyway. Some claim that different crystals have different flavors
- Fairies are all very affectionate! They love touch, hence why they sleep in piles. They aren’t overbearingly cuddly and warm to someone they just met, but once they get to know them, they basically become a magnet
- They’re very emotionally intelligent and good at picking up on how others feel. Natural empaths
- Fairies all love music and other arts! Music is definitely their favorite, with many fairies taking up song making in some way and others doing kinds of dance. Ribbon is a proficient ribbon dancer, of course. There’s also often festivals held at the palace centered around music
- Fairies are quite literally made of magic. They come about when two fairies who are in love just… are. A couple can just be sleeping and in the middle of the night be woken up by the chirping and chittering of a child made from pure magic and love. This is also how royal fairies are born although it’s just the Queen by herself, because the royal family is all one lineage
- They have a lot nectar-based drinks and really enjoy the taste of the stuff (it’s also sweet, which they love)
- When young, fairies will cling on to their mothers to fly around, because their wings are still drying
- There’s always a fairy who’s designated to be the Guardian of the Crystal. The Guardian is often a noble and is able to use the crystal to make it a weapon and armor that aligns with them. Or it’s Ribbon, who is technically a noble…
- Ribbon was found as a very, very newborn baby orphaned outside the palace by Ripple, who immediately took the young child to her mother. Ribbon was raised by the former queen and, while not considered part of the royal family, is seen as a fairy of nobility despite nobody knowing who her parents actually are
- Ripple was the first fairy, let alone royal, to need glasses in a very long time
- Ripple Star has a lot of cave systems that form all sorts of crystals, even some that are considered “unnatural” in other places! A lot of fairies make jewelry and most of them at least own some if they don’t wear it, and Ripple Star sells a lot of it to other planets
- Even though Ripple Star is neighbors with Shiver Star, fairies and humans never interacted until Adeleine showed up
- Sometimes they’ll chase and catch small bugs, just for fun. They always just gently put them back where they found them though
- Fairies have a phrase unique to them: “crystal strong”. It means being nigh unbreakable and able to be put back together even in the darkest times. It’s usually used about friendships

Kirbtober days 6 + 7: Royalty and Headcanon
I've got my eye on you...
Some universe where Sectonia comes back
I went off and got a lot of motivation, so this took a long time!
Taranza's hands look a slight bit similar to spider paws
Meta knight's cheeks look like bat wings
Kirby will launch onto people and hug them (as seen in the royalty day)
