Lightfoot
Lightfoot describes someone who moves quickly, quietly, or gracefully—stepping lightly rather than heavily.
The word appears mainly as a surname or epithet: Lightfoot the thief slipped past the guards.
As an adjective, it's literary and old-fashioned: The lightfoot messenger arrived before dawn.
