fairylike
Small and enchanted
Fairylike describes something resembling or suggestive of fairies—delicate, ethereal, magical.
It applies to things with an otherworldly grace or lightness: fairylike music, a fairylike quality to her movements.
The word evokes the whimsical and enchanted rather than the substantial or earthbound.
