Elves are considered the first out of eight supposed families of the fairies. With an average height of 3 feet or 1 meter one centimetre, elves, along with pixies, are one of the most commonly seen fairy species in the Artemis Fowl books. They are the type of fairies that are most commonly seen in Haven City. Generally intelligent, elves are known for their loyalty and courage. Elves had wings until, due to evolution, they lost them.

Elves are known to have brown skin, the majority of them having red or auburn hair. Like the other fairy species, they have a longer lifespan than humans, as shown by the young hotshot LEP officer Holly Short, who is said to be an octogenarian (in her 80s) and clearly considered very young.
