'He's hairy, wears boots, football shorts and a T-shirt. His nickname is Hairy Legs.

'He has a secret. "Why can't fairies be guys? I'm sick of everyone expecting us to wear fluffy dresses and prance around on mushrooms."

'He also has a problem. "I have to do three good deeds before the next full moon. If I don't, I get the punishment."'
