Veela | Rewind
The veela are based on a number of sources which describe Eastern European nature spirits of legend:"Vily" are Slovic fairies who can take the form of birds.
"Vilas," as they appear in Serbian legends, are "mountain nymphs, young and beautiful, clad in white, with long flying hair. Their voice is said to resembel that of the woodpecker. They shoot, according to popular belief, dealy arrows at men, and sometimes carry off children..." (The Fairy Mythology by Thomas Keightley. 1878.)
The book A Field Guide to the Little People describes the Vily (singular: Vila) in detail. They are nature guardians, caring for the trees, streams, and flowers in their domains. They are extremely jealous of beautiful women. Their moods are as changeable as the weather and they can both cause and cure illnesses. A human who tarries too long in their territory may be shot dead with arrows or die suddenly from heart attack, lumbago, or by being buried under an avalanche. Vily have fair complexions and curly, reddish-brown hair which falls to their feet. They wear shimmering white clothing or coverings of green leaves. Interestingly, those born on Tuesday or Sunday can most easiy see Vily.
In Rowling's books:
Veelas are sensual dancers, affects Harry, Ron, etc.
Throw handfuls of fire when angry; face becomes like bird, scaly wings. Fleur Delacour is part veela; her wand's core is a hair from the head of her grandmother, a veela.
