Today the new drawing for printing and coloring 

is of a Lake Fairy named Shannonia.

Shannonia the Lake Fairy with Mallard Ducks

Shannonia is a Lake Fairy.  She technically is also a Bird Fairy who loves and cares for Mallard Ducks. Lake Fairies are a type of Water Fairy.   Some Water Fairies have fin-like wings for swimming in the water.  Of course, they can still fly with their wings.   This Lake Fairy is about 3 feet tall.  She can easily transform to her natural Fairy size of 5 inches or even transform to full mortal size. Like nearly all Fairies, Shannonia is wearing her flying belt or Balteaus Volantum.  This allows her to fly at great speed and for great distances.  Without it, she would probably not be able to fly with the Mallards.  Of course, all Fairies with wings can fly without the flying belt, however, they just can't fly as far or as fast when they don't have a flying belt. It may come as a surprise to you, but Fairies actually have high tech.

She is the protector and even friend of waterfowl that come to her lake.  She speaks their languages and she can and does fly with them... sometimes on their migrations.  However, she only flies about 100 miles from the lake she calls home.  Sometimes Shannonia will fly upriver and downriver of the river that connects to her lake.  Lake Fairies are also often called River Fairies.  I suppose some River Fairies prefer the faster-moving water so they are exclusively River Fairies.  Maybe it would be best to call these two types of Fairies "Fresh Water Fairies."  After all, rivers and lakes are both fresh water. 

By the way, the Mallard Ducks that are in this drawing are the most common ducks in North America.  The males have an iridescent green or almost blue-green head and are called "greenheads."

I should also mention that the name "Shannonia" means lake or wetlands or wise river or even possessor of wisdom.  But a shanonia is a wetland with grasses, reeds, and other herbaceous plants.  Since there is a palm tree or cycad tree you know this wetland area is probably somewhere in Southern North America... like Florida or maybe parts of Mexico.  If you want feel free to draw more plants in this drawing.  There is plenty of room for more plants.
