One of my characters wants to play a half-fey in our DL campaign. (I am JUST starting KoD, finally found a group that is ready to play after all this time.)

How do you feel about half-fey? Does the whole fairy-winged thing fit in DL?

I've actually been wondering lately about the origin and role of fey on Krynn. I know next to nothing about them and would also be interested in hearing peoples' thoughts about fey and half-fey in Dragonlance.

In Mary Kirchoff's the Defenders of Magic Trilogy books two and three we see a little insight into some of the fey of Krynn(they called theselves the tuatha dundarael). A character known as Bram DiThon has fey-blood in his veins. He was known as a changeling. I don't think it was ever cleared up but I believe his mother was a human (Rietta DiThon) and one of the tuatha dundarael. So here is a possible example of a half-fey. He had innate nature-related magical powers that grew as he gained in experience, but no wings however.
Rather than half-fey you might suggest playing a member of the feytouched races instead to your player.

As for other types of sylvan races in the dungeon masters resources accessories it gives a list of typical fey that inhabit Krynn, and few special ones(such as the Forestmaster) that are listed elsewhere. It's listed under the Sylvan races on page 18.

I'm not sure about fairy-wings, but the 2e Time of the Dragon boxed set mentioned changelings
