There are places where the barrier between the Material Plane and the Feywild is thin, and sometimes creatures from one plane end up in another. Soul binders have found that creatures from the Fey make excellent companions. Maybe you got your companion as a gift from an Archfey or maybe the two of you became friends naturally and made a bond.
When you choose this bond at 1st level, you make a bond with a playful creature from the Feywild. The fey has the appearance of your choice and uses the Fey Companion stat block. Additionally, as your soul is bonded with the creature, you learn to speak its language. You can speak, read and write Sylvan.

At 3rd level, your companion has learned to use their illusory powers to confuse and play tricks on their enemies.
Whenever your companion is hit with a melee weapon attack, it can use its reaction to reduce the damage of the attack by 1d8 + your Charisma modifier + your soul binder level.
If the damage is reduced to 0, your companion can force the enemy to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes psychic damage equal to the original amount of damage their attack would have dealt.
Your fey can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). It regains all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
When you reach 7th level, you have learned to channel the powers from the Feywild and can use that energy to form a protective veil over your companion.
Whenever your companion is forced to make a saving throw due to a spell or another magical effect, you can use your reaction to give your companion advantage on the saving throw if you are within 30 feet of it.
At 11th level, you can command your companion to pull playful maneuvers. The following commands are added to your Edict options:
Hide and Seek. You command your companion to hide itself from preying eyes. On its next turn it can use a bonus action to turn invisible until the start of its next turn. The invisibility is broken if the companion makes an attack or otherwise harms another creature.
Hop and Skip. You command your companion to blink in and out of the Fey, jumping to a different position. On its turn, your companion can use its bonus action to teleport up to 30 feet to a point that it can see.
When you reach 15th level, your companion resonates with you so well, that it can mimic your every move.
As a bonus action, your companion can create an illusion over itself that is identical you, including the clothes and equipment you are currently wearing. The illusion lasts for 10 minutes or until the companion ends it as a bonus action. While the illusion is active, the companion gains the following benefits:
Once it has used this feature it must finish a short or long rest before it can do so again.
