Luned (or Lunete) is one of the most independent women in Welsh Arthurian legends. She's implied to be a fairy who wanders by herself between various courts, and helps her friend Owain (one of King Arthur's knights) woo the Lady of the Fountain. Luned also lends Owain her ring of invisibility.

A flash fiction story written by me:

The leprechaun bent over the fine fairy boot. Repairing them was always ticklish - the sidhe imbued their footwear with such strange spells, and didn't care how much they wore them out with dancing. Hard to repair without shredding the enchantment, but was there a better way to earn a pot of gold?

W. B. Yeats said one big source of leprechaun wealth is that they are paid by fairies to repair their shoes, and the fairies constantly wear out their shoes with dancing. Furthermore, leprechauns have dug up numerous pots of gold buried by humans long ago during times of war.

In Scottish folklore, selkies are intelligent seals who often become fascinated by human life. They can remove their seal skins to temporarily become beautiful men and women, and will have romances with the local humans. However, eventually all selkies return to the ocean.
