pixies
Pointy-eared tricksters
Pixies are small supernatural creatures from English folklore, typically depicted as mischievous but not malicious.
They're associated with southwestern England, particularly Devon and Cornwall.
In modern use, pixie often describes someone small and sprightly, especially a woman or child with delicate features.
A pixie cut is a short, elfin hairstyle.
She had a pixie face and a mischievous grin. (Capitalized Pixies is the rock band.)
