light-spirited

Buoyant in mood

Light-spirited describes a cheerful, carefree disposition—someone buoyant in mood and manner.

A light-spirited person approaches life without heaviness or worry: She remained light-spirited despite the setbacks.

The term suggests an innate temperament rather than a passing mood, distinguishing it from simply being in good spirits.
