The message about Flamel made me remember this. I've been doing some
research on legends about faeries (for a book I'm hoping to write) and I
discovered two things.
Vilas are female nature spirits who are so beautiful that when a man looks
on them he falls in love and pines away for them until he dies.

And there is a type of brownie called a Dobie, like most brownies it does
housework and stuff for humans but it is fairly dim and while meaning well
often causes trouble :) Hmmm, sounds familiar, yes?
