Sprite

Green-bottled lemon-lime

A sprite is a small, quick spirit or fairy—an elf, pixie, or similar supernatural being, typically mischievous rather than malevolent: sprites dancing in the moonlight.

The word suggests lightness and agility.

In computing, a sprite is a two-dimensional image or animation integrated into a larger scene, especially in video games: The character sprites were charmingly pixelated.

Sprite is also a brand of lemon-lime soda.
