* The fairy prince Kukuru in ''Animation/FlowerFairy'' helps his human friend An'an to round up and fight other fairies. In Season 2, An'an's human friends get their own fairy sidekicks as well, those being Goddess Pupra's daughters Luna, Lushu, and Lulu.

* The eponymous character of ''VideoGame/{{Astyanax}}'' has a fairy sidekick named Cutie, who drags him into [[TrappedInAnotherWorld another world]] to fight the forces of the dark wizard Blackhorn. She occasionally appears as a power-up item, allowing the hero to refill his magic supply, or [[MorphWeapon change the shape of his magic weapon]]. She's also in love with him, and at the end she [[spoiler:gets reincarnated as a human back in Astayanax's own world]].

* In the ''Manga/SailorMoon'' manga, each of the Planet Senshi has a Sprite that basically looks like a chibi version of their respective ward, though they never appeared in other continuities. At one point, Usagi/Serena was going to have a pet fairy named Diana, The idea was scrapped, but the name was retained for Artemis & Luna's daughter.

* ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'' is traditionally accompanied by a dragonfly named Sparx who acts as a dynamic LifeMeter of sorts, with his color and/or presence indicating how many hits Spyro can take before dying.
** A straighter example may be Zoe the fairy, while Sparks only speaks in speedway stages in the third game, Zoe is quick to stop you in the middle of your path and [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper remind you of stuff you've already known for a while.]]

** The spin-off Nintendo Power comic, ''Comicbook/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', also gave Link a fairy companion named Epheremelda, who ''also'' had a crush on Link and at one point abandoned him in a huff out of jealousy of his feelings for Zelda.

* ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'' has Notte, the loyal fairy friend of Euden and Zethia. She acts as the game’s cute fairy mascot, and is the first person that Euden can count on when things get tough. [[spoiler: As for ''why'' she’s with Euden and Zethia, she was once from the Fairy Kingdom as a young girl, but after the incidents involving Euden’s birth, the fairy king, Jinlorda, decided to wipe away Notte’s memories and have her act as a sort of guardian for him, in case anything were to happen. [[EvilTwin Nedrick]] also has one in the form of Jinlorda, the Fairy Prince, although he is human sized.]]

*** The American series done by Valiant (''Comicbook/TheLegendOfZelda'') and based on the first two games, gave him a fairy companion named Miff.
*** Another spin-off comic, a manga based on ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'' created a fairy companion named Felicia that disappeared along with the island at the end of the story. She was ''also'' in love with Link. Clearly, Nintendo picked up on a trend when they finally added canonical companions to the series, and Miyamoto also stated that [[WordOfGod Navi is also in love with Link.]] He gets around.

** In ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'', the fairy [[VoiceForTheVoiceless Proxi delivers all of Link's lines in his stead]].

** Shows up again in the ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' BonusBoss fight with the Demi-Fiend, clearly powered-up, slinging dark matter around. Mind you, the rest of his demonic allies are clearly ''not'' pixies!

* Quite a few stories involving SantaClaus, such as ''WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndAdventuresOfSantaClaus'' and ''SilverSpurs'', give him Fairy Companions to accompany him on his sleigh ride. Usually, they unlock the door when the house doesn't have a chimney. (Such stories make you [[FridgeLogic wonder why he bothers with chimneys at all]] but that's another matter.)

* One of the most notable in anime is Cham Hau of the fantasy HumongousMecha series ''Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine'', who sat in the main character's cockpit and shouted encouragement to him. [[spoiler:She's also the only character confirmed by WordOfGod to have survived the series' KillEmAll ending.]]

* Neena from ''VideoGame/ElementalMaster'' is a little green fairy you rescue early into the game, where she can serve as an AssistCharacter against large numbers of enemies. [[spoiler:She's also an ancient, legendary ring of power= reincarnated into a fairy, and turns back into a ring for you to wear and gain a massive power upgrade to face the demon King Gyra]].

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass'' has 3 different ones (Ciela, Leaf, and Neri) that can each be powered up to raise attack, defense or have the sword beam. Arguably the most useful ones so far, even story-wise (out of the three, however, it is Ciela who is the most integral to the plot of the game).
