This simplified guide is to help you figure out what talent any sub-talent belongs to.
About Talents: There are twenty fairy talents. A fairy cannot choose his or her talent. Soon after they are born, they touch items that decide their talent for them. These twenty talents are Dust-talent, Animal-talent, Art-talent, Garden-talent, Healing-talent, Glacier-talent, Helper-talent, Kitchen-talent, Light-talent, Mainland-visiting-clapping-talent (sometimes shortened to Clapping-talent), Scouting-talent, Scribe-talent, Storytelling-talent, Snowflake-talent, Tinker-talent, Water-talent, Weather-talent, Fast-flying-talent, Frost-talent, and Winter-animal-talent.
About sub-talents: A sub-talent is a group within a talent that deals with specific things. A fairy can be in any or all sub-talents in his or her talent group. Fairies can join or leave sub-talents as they please, as long as the sub-talent that they are joining is in their talent group. Fairies can recommend sub-talents to their friends. All sub-talents are specifically for their main talent. Exception: The leaf sub-talent spans across art-talent and garden-talent, but a garden-talent in the leaf sub-talent deals with different things than an art-talent in this sub-talent would.
