sprite

Mischievous woodland being

A sprite is a small supernatural being—an elf, fairy, or similar creature, usually mischievous rather than malevolent: woodland sprites, water sprites.

The word suggests lightness and quickness.

In computing and video games, a sprite is a two-dimensional image or animation that moves independently on screen, named for its nimble, hovering quality.
