    Abstract​

    Pixies being the smallest of all the fae Peoples and are an exuberant, high-energy and often aggressive people. They find it difficult to just sit and do nothing, this has led them to making up various games to help pass times of tedious boredom, and oft times results in the annoyance of others. One such 'game' of theirs is playing tricks on the unwary. Moving or hiding things, pretending to be ghosts, tying shoe laces together, switching salt for sugar, just to name a few.


    History and Origins​

    There is little known about the history and origins of Pixies within Aelyria.


    Physical Appearance​

    The average height of a pixie ranges from four to eight inches, with males tending to be the taller of the two. Their body is lithe and elven like, and the bone structure of pixies, like most other fae Peoples, is hollow. Unlike the butterfly winged Faeries, pixies have distinctive dragonfly like wings, which allows them to change directions radically in mid flight, as well as to hover. Their wing colors can be anywhere from a quite transparent to a brilliant chromatic explosion of colors.

    The color of a pixies skin ranges from very pale to a deep tan, whilst their hair color ranges from a platinum blond to a deep rich chestnut brown. Their eye colors range from pale blues, violets, greens and browns down to very dark versions of the afore mentioned colors.


    Culture and Society​

    Pixie homes are made from living bushes, and can be easily overlooked by passerby in most, but not all cases. These homes are made deep in the heart of the bush by bending the branches about to form the walls and roof, and bowing parts to make windows and doorways. They tuck moist dirt in the gaps between branches, off times seeding it with grass or flower seeds if there is enough light for them, and if not, they mix bits of grass and such to help give strength to the dirt. Over top of the roof they will lay broad leaves to make the rain sheet off to keep their home dry.


    Notable Skills and Traits​

    Combat
    Unlike their faerie cousins, pixies have no qualms with physical combat and are likened to being attacked by a hornet. Pixies prefer weapons that stab and puncture over things that cut and slash, and they have no qualms if it can do both. Their weapons tend to take the form of shortbows with arrows, spears, and slender swords. Fae weapons almost always are poisoned in some way.

    Arcana
    Pixies have a natural affinity to Magic, and tend to lean towards the disciples of Song, Thaumaturgy and Mysticism.

    Trades
    Pixies have no strong links to any particular trade, and may become proficient in any art and craft they choose to pursue, though everything will be on a very small scale.
