This has gone much better than the hypothetical "Bubbles tries to ride a reindeer" scenario earlier.
cesium133:
Considering the syllable structure of Fairy Girl's language (CV, where C=L and V can be any of the five common English vowels), there are five possible syllables in her language. That means that each syllable can contain a little over two bits of information, or a bit less than the information contained in the average letter in English text. Incidentally, a group at the University of Lyon in France did a study where they looked at the spoken information density of various languages. They found that languages where less information was carried per syllable (for example, Japanese compared to Mandarin Chinese), the languages with less information per syllable were spoken faster, meaning the rate of information in the speech was about the same. Which means that Fairy Girl is probably speaking 'lo la lu le le' pretty fast.

I made an account just to say that I would also love to see the Fairy Girl become a part of the main cast, she seems genuinely kind from what we've seen of her, and probably really fun to be around. Super duper weird... but then again so is nearly everyone else in the cast.
Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, new person!
I think that is a good description of her.
Her language appears to be tonal so there is a bit more information in each syllable than there would otherwise be.
