The Asrai a delicate, water-dwelling fairy from English folklore. These beings are said to be incredibly shy, living in lakes and ponds, only emerging under the moonlight. Their skin is described as translucent, almost ethereal, and if exposed to sunlight, they dissolve into water.

Unlike the more mischievous or helpful fairies, Asrai embody a sense of fleeting beauty and melancholy. Some legends suggest that if captured, they weep bitterly, knowing they will soon vanish. Others say that a touch from an Asrai leaves a permanent mark on the skin, like a chilling imprint of their existence.
