The Faerie Familiar doesn't attack Enemies, but rather heals Alucard. She is the only familiar that will use the Life apple and Hammer medicines, and she will also use Potions and other status-curing medicines as appropriate. She's good to keep around when you're in a tight spot, but she may waste Items healing you when it's not really necessary at times. She'll also point out hidden passages.

In the Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles version of the game, you'll also find a Fairy familiar. This familiar is pretty much identical to the Faerie, except it can sing.
