Hmm, let's see...

Off the top of my head, I can think of really only two prominent fairies that aren't fairy godmothers. In Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream there are plenty of fairies in the story. For example, there's Oberon and Titania, the King and Queen of the Fairies, Puck who is a little fairy troublemaker, and the various fairy servants for the King and Queen.

There's also Tinker Bell, possibly the most, if not one of the most, famous fairies. She's featured in J.M. Barrie's play Peter Pan as well as the book Peter and Wendy.

In some instances, Morgan le Fay, of the Arthurian legends, is considered to be a fay (or fairy). But mostly she's an enchantress, which may be too close to the whole 'fairy godmother' thing you're not interested in.

And there's also the flower-fairy prince that Thumbelina marries in the story Thumbelina.

I'm sure there's many more fairies that I'm forgetting or don't know of. If none of these fairies that I mentioned above suit your tastes, then you could always look it up yourself using Google or Wikipedia... Anyways, I hope I helped in some way! c:
