Leaf, the Spirit of Power

This is my interpretation of Leaf, the Spirit of Power that Link encounters in The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass. Leaf appears as a classic "Zelda fairy", a coloured ball of light with four insect-like wings.
I bought the Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass collector's edition and in it it referred to Leaf as a "he". However, I couldn't be bothered playing the game again to find out. I just assumed that since the Great Fairies of Hyrule descended from the Goddesses and they're all female, then the spirits of Power, Wisdom and Courage would be female too.
