Known as Youngling to the Nunnehi, Keiki Iki for Menehune, Nereids by Merfolk and Spring for the Ghille Dhu; These are the youngest of the seemings, spanning from the ages of mortal birth to approximately twelve years of age.
Wild and rambunctious, they are full of glamour, haven't been drug down by the over all banality that surrounds them, and whats' more; almost no willpower to control themselves. Some have lived countless lifetimes and may not be as innocent or naive as they may seem.. However they are still children at heart. The world is their playground and the worries, passions and trivialities of adults are far away in a distant galaxy. The world of the fae is sparkling with glamour and full of energy. At best they are wonderfully imaginative, enjoying the wonders of childhood while they can.
At their worst they are vicious and feral. Many childlings still don't understand the feelings and emotions of others and as such don't see any problems with a ravaging or a quick enchantment of the nearest mortal (normally this being their parents, teachers or other family members who might have a banal streak a mile wide...) here and there. Elders tend to let these slide, clicking their tongues and saying "Childlings will be childlings."
Most of these Childlings are those who have been confronted by said people and found the only solution was to either hide continually in their faerie identities or simply run away from home and find a freehold that will look after them.
In the end Childlings enjoy a certain degree of privilege in Kithain society. They're nurtured, taught and encouraged. Because they're learning, they're often forgiven for their misdoings.
Inexperience, however, shuts them out from many adult activities.
The solution is to live in a dream of their own. In their own private reality, playtime never ends.
