frolicsome
Full of mischief
Frolicsome describes a playful, lively disposition—full of fun and lighthearted energy.
The word applies to people, animals, or behavior marked by spirited amusement: frolicsome puppies tumbling over each other, a frolicsome mood.
It carries a slightly old-fashioned or literary feel, suggesting innocent merriment rather than rowdiness.
