Yousei are the shortest species of youkai, with an average height of just 4 feet 5 inches, and an average weight of around 100 pounds for both males and females. Most of them have pale to light skin tones, with very colorful eyes, hair, and wings; all of which can be found in virtually any color of the visible spectrum, giving them an eye-catching and adorable appearance.
Like [[tengu]], yousei possess functional wings, with which they can fly and hover. Unlike them, however, yousei are small, do not have any innate fighting abilities, are very sensitive to pain, and their bodies are small and easily damaged. Although they have surprising strength for their size (on par with that of an average [[human]]), they are described as fragile, easy to hurt and kill , and with no special talents or abilities.
For much of youkai history, yousei have been relegated to menial tasks and other, uncomplicated labor. They are the cleaners, the servants, the waiters, the maids and butlers of youkai society, largely because there is little else they can be. Youkai legends say that Ou-no-kyuu ('''大の九''', lit. "Big nine"), the goddess responsible for creating yousei, is said to have slacked off on the day she was supposed to give yousei their abilities and therefore their purpose in life. The same legends say that one day, one of the yousei will become the ''Strongest of All Fairies'' ('''最強の妖精''', saikyou no yousei, lit. "The strongest fairy") or simply the ''Strongest One'' ('''最強''', saikyou, lit. "The strongest"), unlocking vast powers and potential so that they may lead all fairies to greatness, and bring happiness to all youkaikind.
