How is Daisy Buchanan a faery’s child?



I don't even understand this question or the concept of 'faery'...please help! I don't care if you explain to me what a 'faery' is or if you just give me the answer.



%26amp;%26amp; please no smart aleck answers like "Do your own homework" and "Read the book, it usually helps"....b/c I did read the book and I enjoyed it...I'm just a little confused about this.

How is Daisy Buchanan a faery’s child? (The Great Gatsby)?
Daisy was a nice but useless person, a "flower" (nice look, nice sense, helpless) and that was all. She was living in her own perfect little world.

She was the one who said:

"Rich girls don't marry poor boys!"
Reply:She was fay -- out of this world -- useless -- an ornament -- an airy piece of fanfastic nonsense -- at the bottom of the garden -- a lorelei steering the lives of men on to the rocks -- jail bait -- a faery's child.
Reply:She wasn't literally a faerie's child. It's a form of description. They're simply saying that she was so beautiful and delicate that she was a faeries child. That is to say, she posses the beauty, soft-spokenness, reserve and air of a faerie. In short, they're saying she's a hottie with a booty for miles.
