Is it possible to do something with a fairy or is she just running after a hero?
She is quite the competent fighter for early game stuff, her level ups are pretty potent compared to other 4 slot fighters and she is hella fast.
Has an attack that hits 3 or 4 times for 100% damage and a normal attack, pretty small hitbox too.

To anyone struggling with food, hide, poop or feathers ... set up cage and beartraps ... they give you free animals you can just pull out and butcher (with T when in your inventory) and they catch stuff VERY frequently when off-screen.
They also capture Biome specific Animals like Sheep for Wool.
