Can Flamboyant Gamines do the whole "Fairytale/Folklore" vibe?

Short answer: YES!
Longer answer: Your Kibbe type determines the SHAPE of your clothing, not the pattern! The fabric and details are a great way to explore other essences that you enjoy.
The fairytale/folklore vibe is huge right now, and I'm loving it. If this is a look you're interested in trying, I got you.
These Farm Rio sundresses have essentially the same shape, a Flamboyant Gamine shape I might add, so I'm listing them together. Farm Rio is a fantastic source for anything with a folklore feel to it.
If you're a Light Spring, you're in luck - all three of these are your season!
Johnny Was is another brand with great folklore vibes, here is a t-shirt that would be lovely tucked or untucked.
Janie Favorite Tee in Kallie Scarf for Bright Spring
An embroidered Suzani jacket would be gorgeous on you. All-over embroidery like this always reminds me of a Russian fairy tale, even when it's from a totally different part of the world. Not going to list color seasons for this one, there are waaaaaay too many choices!
The band-style tee is a staple for you, so lean into it! Etsy has a ton of great options, just search "goblincore t-shirt." (I guess goblincore is the next Internet aesthetic?)
Also, it's worth noting that fairy/pixie TV characters are almost always played by Gamines! What type of Gamine depends on whether the character is sweet or spicy. Tinkerbell is a Soft Gamine. Peter Pan and Crysta from Ferngully and Vingnette Stonemoss are all Flamboyant Gamines.
And while we're here, for my fellow fantasy folklore enthusiasts, I have to recommend THE BEST book I've ever read in our genre. No spice, yes romance, utterly delightful from beginning to end.
