Proper nouns are capitalized in English. In this world, fairy is not a proper noun and should not be capitalized.

American is a capitalized noun because the word is derived from the proper noun America.

Analogously, fairies should be capitalized if they come from a specific land called Fairy.

On the other hand, if there are a group of species that are fairies, such as elves, redcaps, goblins, etc., then maybe it isn't.

Is Fairy a proper noun in your fictional world?
