A fairy is a spirit (supernatural being) found in the legends, folklore, and mythology of many cultures. They are generally humanoid in form, though of a higher, spiritual nature and so possessed of preternatural abilities, along with such mystical qualities as otherworldly beauty and grace, an ethereal glow, wings, or the like. They are also regarded as aloof, ephemeral, mercurial, and whimsical, among other qualities that place them outside of a human scope and have a tendency to make them associated or confused with other mythologi ...

Magical girls generally obtain their powers from some sort of enchanted object such as a pendant, a wand, or a ribbon. By concentrating on this object, in addition to speaking a special phrase or command in some cases, a girl undergoes an intricate transformation sequence and changes to her fully powered form. A major theme of magical-girl stories is learning to harness these powers and develop them fully. Teams of magical girls often learn to combine their powers to perform massive, super-charged attacks. Powers or no powers, though, magica ...

Cel-shaded animation - Hand-drawn animation. Main article: Traditional animation In hand-drawn animation or traditional animation, from the mid-19th century onwards, artists would start by creating pencil drawings; these would then be transferred onto celluloid, made of cellulose nitrate, either by using xerography (a photocopying technique) and paint, or ink and paint. Later, by the mid-20th century, celluloid was made using cellulose acetate instead of cellulose nitrate due to the latter burning easily and suffering from spontaneous deco ...

The question of a faerie "nature" has been the topic of many a myth or scholarly paper for a very long time. This is partially due to the fact that, by being supernatural and chaotic entities, they are difficult to pin down as being anything in particular and partially due to the fact that humans have yet to answer completely what constitutes the racial ethos of humanity. Consequently, faerie runs amok with creatures that are completely unrelated save that they are mythologic in origin. There is a central archetypal figure behind most of the stories described as a tall, delicate, radiant being of humanoid aspect. Such beings are most ...

RAI started off as a privately owned company. The Unione Radiofonica Italiana (URI) was formed in 1924 by private entrepreneurs and part of the Marconi group. Granted a monopoly of radio broadcasts in 1924, URI made its first broadcast – a Haydn quartet – on the 24th October of that year. In 1927 URI was renamed Ente Italiano Audizioni Radiofoniche (EIAR). It survived until 1944 when, under Allied pressure, it was reborn as Radio Audizioni Italiane, or RAI. Still a privately owned company, it operated two networks: Rete Rossa and Rete Azzurra, with Rossa playing more serious music and Azzur ...

The words fae and faerie came to English from French and, ultimately, Latin. An interesting correlation is the word "fey," which may be derived ultimately from the same Latin root and is now returning to mean the same as "fae." The Latin root fata, meaning fate in the sense of one of the Parcae, is an indication that fays have abilities associated with knowledge (foresight) and manipulation (luck, blessing, cursing) of fate, both of whic ...

Until the appearance of Sailor Moon, the original term "Mahō Shōjo" in Japan referred exclusively to girls who do not transform themselves and use magic for acts of mercy instead of supression of evil. However, the term is used in the West to refer only to the latter case, though this term is still predominantly used for the former case in Japan. Mahoutsukai Sally (aka Sally, the Witch) and Mahou no Princess Minky Momo (aka Magical Princess Gigi) are hardly known in the West, though ...
