The Sidhe

This Irish race of supernatural creature has a twist on the "fairy" tale myth.  Some sources might says that the Sidhe [shee] are fallen angels.  The reason the are small is because it is believed that "...they diminished in size after people stopped honoring and believing in them, though they retained their human like form."(Alexander, 2014, p. 105)  They can also make themselves invisible and often hold feasts with music and dancing.

Who knows?..Tinker Bell might once have been an angel before she made it on the big screen.
