Faetouched

The Faetouched are primarily humans that have gained some sort of quality akin to the fae after making contact with some sort of fairy-based being, whether a Fairy-type Pokémon or something else. They can be considered the Fairy-type's answer to Aura Sensitive humans and Pokémon, though they're by no means mutually exclusive, as being Faetouched is normally an induced state rather than an inherent one as is the case with most Aurics, save for the descendants of Yva Memito, whose partially fae blood via Tapu Lele makes them a type of Faetouched.

Traits

Apart from having a quality change to their Aura, Faetouched beings tend to in general act more fairy-like, having a general sense of oddity to them. They may also exhibit physical changes as a result of fae influence, such as Joseph's hair color changing to white as a result of trading its original color to a Dedenne merchant, or Gabe having slightly pointed ears as a result of his own fae influence.

In the case of the Memitos begotten by Yva, it is implied that being Faetouched is why they have a strong tendency towards strong inheritance of particular phenotypic traits, hence why despite their technically distant relation, Ever, Every, and All have (or had) such a strong physical resemblance to one another.

Weaknesses

Like many Fairy-types, the Faetouched often have a weakness to metal in general and iron in particular, the material causing welts akin to a violent allergic reaction upon touching their bare skin. Poisons can also ravage their bodies much quicker than they would non-faetouched beings. They often cannot directly lie, and instead have to rely on exact wording when trying to trick someone or otherwise engaging in subterfuge.
