Pixie

Pixies are descendants of Faeries who did not inherit elemental magic, but instead gained a volatile blend of martial talent and chaotic energy. Cast out or pitied by their kin, Pixies are unpredictable, passionate, and fiercely physical.


🌍 Lore

Unlike other Fey creatures, Pixies lack any connection to elemental magic. Viewed as deformities or cursed children by Faerie society, they were exiled or abandoned. But in solitude, Pixies trained their bodies as weapons. Though they seem playful or impulsive, they are known to erupt into terrifying rage when provoked.

Unwelcome in most structured societies, Pixies exist on the edges—equal parts trickster, survivor, and ticking time bomb.
