Most of older myths are forgotten, as people of old would never call some of fae fairy as it is some big insult in their culture and faery code of honour demands them to reapy everything equally, and with time debt just grows, so saying fairy is like tempting fa(t)e to come and destroy all you love. There is reason why fae means fate or doom depending on whom you ask. Modern image of tiny fairies are pixies, but even they are dangerous as hell. Pixies were believed to sour milk,mcattle ill and cause crops to rot (if they don't affect climate so there would always be storm only around your house or cause earth to be infertile) if slighted. There are few humanoid fairies, leprechauns,dwarves,pixies,nymphs, selkies in human form and Sidhe (strongest,most powerful and smartest of fae, think ethernally unnaturally beautiful humans, like Tolkien's elves but more beautiful, with godlike power at least).) Were there any fairies that looked human and were human-sized, I'm intrested in this

Sidhe, nymphs and selkies in human form were human sized and could pass for humans, but there was something off about them. Aside from being more beautiful than us, what makes them different from humanoid monsters is that they didn't  have something unusual about them, like glowing aura, different skin tone (unless they wished so to mess with us) but you just felt uncomfortable, you knew that they somehow don't belong to this reality,cosmos,realm,multiverse,omniverse or world. My theory is that when humans still were small in numbers, they all got badly screwed by fae for disrespecting some bargain that it got written in their dnk,soul,hearts and mind, so we on impulse and as instinct know we should beware them. It is also said that they are very wise and smart, so I get from text that you just have feeling that fae before you saw a lot of world and knows something you do not. Common description is also that you can't placate their age,  in moment you think they are  15,then 25, then 30, then 45 and then you feel as if person standing before you is 68 year old bound to youthful body.
