| The Seelie court are known to seek help from mortals, to warn those who had accidentally offended them, and to return human kindness with favors of their own. From the persepective of mortals this court is the most favorable of them, but that is only when looking at the surface. | The Seelie court are known to seek help from mortals, to warn those who had accidentally offended them, and to return human kindness with favors of their own.

| - | The categorization of fairies based on court is whether or not they are a light or dark fairy. Light fairies are known for playing pranks on humans and having a light hearted attitude, forgetting their sorrows quickly and not realizing how they might be affecting the humans they are playing pranks on. The Unseelie Court consists of the darkly-inclined fairies. Unlike the Seelie Court, no offense is necessary to bring down their assaults.[6] As a group (or "host"), they appear at night and assault travelers, often carrying them through the air, beating them, and forcing them to commit such acts as shooting elfshot at cattle.[7][8] Like the beings of the Seelie Court who are not always benevolent, neither are the fairies of the Unseelie Court always malevolent. Most Unseelies can become fond of a particular human if they are viewed as respectful, and would chose to make them something of a pet. Some of the most common characters in the Unseelie Court are Bogies, Bogles, Boggars, Abbylubbers and Buttery spirits.[9] The division into "seely" and "unseely" spirits was roughly equivalent to the division of Elves in Norse mythology, into "light" and "dark" distinctions.[10] | + | The categorization of fairies based on court is whether or not they are a light or dark fairy.
