Fairies as such appear only in A Midsummer Night's Dream, although in The Merry Wives of Windsor a lot of people dress up as fairies. Shakespeare seems to waffle between the idea that fairies were teeny-weeny, could sit in acorns and so on, and the idea that they looked just like people, which was necessary since ordinary-sized actors had to play Titania, Oberon, Puck and so on. They were of course magical, especially good at changing the appearance of things and messing with people's minds. Like changing Bottom's head to look like a donkey, for example.
