That they are fairies (and presumably full-blooded ones) doesn't really make sense when you consider that Sookie is only 1/8th fairy and yet she was able to use her powers on that fairy queen (or whatever she was supposed to be) with substantial affect. How is a diluted fairy able to fend off a pure one? Wouldn't that be like Jessica holding her own in a battle against Russell Edgington? Also, I thought they were supposed to be witches because of the whole poison apple angle, and they had the crooked noses like you see on old fairy tale witches.
