The peri are exquisite, winged spirits or fae renowned for their beauty and possessing white dove-like wings. They are often drawn as beautiful maidens and are described as mischievous beings that have been denied entry to paradise until they have completed penance for atonement. They eat fragrant scents such as musk, and when their blood dries, it is said to form a gem. They are skilled magicians and can do feats such as transformation, flight and prophesying. They often help heroes with their magic, sometimes even becoming their wives.
Originally from Persian mythology, peris were later adopted by other cultures. Under Islamic influence, peris became benevolent spirits, in contrast to the mischievous jinn. The evil, discordant beings known as divs try to imprison the peris as punishment for their failure to rebel against the forces of good. Although descended from fallen angels in some cultures, they are not always evil.
