What's a Fae...?

[Quillmorr]

I've seen this term used constantly thought the boards, and I'm yet to figure it out. I always thought a Fae was a fairy or spirit of some sort, and the first character I encountered was exactly that. But then other seemingly common wolf characters are calling themselves and others Fae, so I'm rethinking my definition.

So what does it mean here?

Fae generally refers to a female or shewolf, as brute refers to a male .. hope that helps :)
