little devil
Playful young scamp
Little devil is an affectionate term for a mischievous child or playful troublemaker: Come here, you little devil.
The phrase suggests endearing naughtiness rather than genuine wickedness—pranks and antics that exasperate but also charm.
It can also describe adults behaving impishly: She's a little devil when she wants something.
