The Fey are Freaking Scary. Pratchett's take on them is spot on, as is yours :)
And that comparison is high praise and quite intentional, different though your works most certainly are!

@Scribe_Drizz: No such luck. He's not quite in the area, though even if he were, I don't think El would particularly care for his help.
@DarkVisor: A lot. It'd be fair to say the entire forest is coming after her. Ogres, and later humans and orcs, learn quickly that you stay out of forests after dark for exactly this reason. Also, the porcupiney-fairy is female, as much as shapeshifters can be. Being purely magical critters, they don't actually biologically need sexes, but individuals adapt forms they find pleasing that usually correspond to the world they live in.
"Hands off the Axe!" That or "Keep you hands to yourself Mr Grabby!"
Just how many of those pests are chasing El? Can count 6 shadows behind her in panel 3, plus 2 in the trees
And is the 'porcupine' female? Or just a male with flabby pecs?
Fae indeed! Maybe unsidhe? Looks like she punched a redcap, maybe. She seems to recognize these are a serious threat. Interesting.
I like the porcupine looking one.

Ok. Soul Patch needs to show up for real this time. Not like he's not watching anyway, pervy elf...
