Personality
This pixie is actually quite friendly and often tries to be helpful. Usually seen as chaotic and flighty, her primary motivation in life seems to be to have fun. She fights evil-doers and stops crimes mostly for the fun of it, not necessarily because she recognizes criminal intent. Indeed, some of her own pranks border on criminal mischief. However, she can be a loyal friend even to those who may not want or be aware of her good intentions.

Powers
Her powers are magic in nature, though they are as natural to her kind as eating, drinking, and breathing are to humans. In addition to her naturally magical talents, she has a variety of talents and skills that she has learned over centuries. She has even begun carrying technological "gizmos" which she has only recently been exposed to in coming to Paragon City.
Mind Control
Utilizing faerie magic, she can confuse, immobilize, and render unconscious most people without half trying. She finds her talents less useful against the undead and mechanical creations (such as robots).
Kinetics
In addition to her ability to befuddle minds, she knows magics which can slow and tire foes while simultaneously granting their stolen vigor to herself and others.
Flight
She possesses insect-like wings that can carry her at remarkable speeds with hummingbird-like maneuverability.
Bag of Tricks
In addition to her innate powers, she carries a magic sack which seems comically bigger inside than it is outside. From this relatively small container, she has pulled forth a variety of mundane melee and ranged weapons. She also keeps a stolen flamethrower in here as well as magical trinkets and tricks (her "flashbangs," smokebombs, nets, magic rings & charms, etc).
Character History
One day, while exploring the fey crossroads, she chanced upon a magical portal she'd never seen before. Curiousity got the best of her and she stepped through. On the other side, she found that the world of men had changed greatly --castles of glass and steel that reached the sky, horseless carriages crowding the streets, and mortals wielding strange powers and wearing garrishly colorful clothing. When she'd seen enough to sate her curiousity, she tried to return home. Unfortunately, the portal that brought her to Paragon City was gone. Though she did not know it when she entered the portal, the playful sprite had been summoned... now she is having fun while occasionally considering who summoned her and why.
Random Trivia and OOC stuff
- Pixie Sprite was originally a Kinetic/Archery defender because I liked the idea of her being dangerous with a weapon in in spite of being this ultra-cute faerie. I started her over when I got a bow & arrow temp power as a reward on my first safeguard mission (for stopping the weapons deal). I realized I could have her be magically manipulative (as a Mind Control/Kinetics controller) and still have the bow and arrow... and more.
- As of this writing, Pixie Sprite is level 31 and has 30 temp powers (excluding Apprentice Charm) that have been earned through missions, safeguards, and a couple outright purchased. Updated, now at level 37, its tedious to even think about counting her various extra powers considering temp powers, veteran reward powers, bonus powers from boosters, and so on.
- The combination of Mind Control/Kinetics along with her various temp powers has made this character my favorite to play. I frequently refer to her as my scraptankblastfender because of her ability to solo well and fill pretty much any roll on a team.
