elfishness
Whimsical sprite quality
Elfishness is the quality of being elflike—mischievous, whimsical, or impishly playful.
The word suggests a sprite-like nature, someone given to teasing or sly amusement: There was an elfishness about her that made you never quite sure if she was serious.
Less common than elvish or elfish, but carries the same fairy-tale connotations.
