Summary

"You get 3 bluffs. Each night*, choose a player: they die. You register as “the Demon” for abilities. If you die, your team loses; if only 2 players live, your team wins; even if drunk or poisoned. [No Demon, +1 Minion]"

A drunk or poisoned Faerie will fail to kill at night and no longer registers as “the Demon”, but still maintains its win/loss conditions.

The Faerie is a Townsfolk that acts like a good “the Demon”.

The Faerie does not know the Minions, and the Minions do not know the Faerie.
The Faerie is shown three out-of-play good characters to help them hide from the Minions.

The Faerie is a Townsfolk and not a Demon, but it does count as “the Demon”. If you aren't sure how this effects a character, review the Notable Interactions.

How to Run

While setting up the game, put the Faerie token and an extra Minion token in the bag, but do not put in an evil Demon.

During the first night, show the Faerie 3 not-in-play good characters as bluffs.

Each night except the first, wake the Faerie. The Faerie points at any player. Put the Faerie to sleep. The chosen player dies—put the Faerie's DEAD reminder by the chosen player's character token in the Grimoire and put a shroud on it.

The Faerie does not learn the Minions. Wake the Minions together, but do not show them the Faerie.

Examples

The Faerie is one of the last two players alive, the good team wins.

The Faerie kills the entire evil team at night. However, the good team executes the Faerie with three players alive and the evil team wins.

The Witch curses the Faerie at night. The Faerie nominates and dies, and the evil team wins.

Tips & Tricks

The Faerie is an exciting character to play. You're a good team member who kills in the night, but you can't die or your team loses.
Spend the whole game bluffing to everyone to hide from the Minions: you receive 3 bluffs at the beginning of the game so it should be easy to blend in with your fellow Townsfolk.
Tell one or two players that you are the Faerie, to help get their support in staying alive until the end of the game.
Out to the entire town! Maybe the good team can keep you alive while all the Minions try to get you executed or killed with their abilities.

Bluffing as the Faerie

When bluffing as the Faerie, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

If you come out as the Faerie, you are likely to be the center of attention for awhile. Be ready to tell everyone what three bluffs you received and who you killed at night.
If you are a good character bluffing as the Faerie, you are likely to draw heat from the evil team. Be prepared to be cursed and mad.
If you are an evil character bluffing as the Faerie, the good team is likely to use abilities check you to try to discern your character, alignment, or whether or not you are the Demon.
Bluff as a different character for a while first. Act like a Faerie would act and be cagey about your true character. After all... a real Faerie would try to hide from the evil team.
When you're up for execution, come out as the Faerie. Much like the Saint, the town may be wary of executing a Faerie.
If the real Demon type is discovered or you are outed as not the Demon, have a backup plan for why you were pretending to be the Faerie.
