"Utter bee puns at your own peril. ♥"
playful ✦ adaptable ✦ breezy ✦ impulsive ✦ distractible
An exemplary Pixie by some standards, Trixy adores playing. She can make a game out of most any situation, even if the situation is not appropriate for games. She loves to make merry and make mischief, and good-humored pranks are always a delight. People who don’t play are so stuffy and boring! She especially enjoys the company of children, and is either the best or worst babysitter depending on how tidy you want your home to be upon your return. She’ll poke and prod and tease, but is not so cold as to be unable to apologize or show remorse should she ever go too far, and often tries to avoid doing so in the first place.
Even before Trixy set out to travel, she was highly adaptable in many situations. She’s able to roll with the punches, and happens to enjoy doing so. She’s quite happy to take life’s lemons and make the sweetest lemonade.
Along with her adaptable nature, it helps (and sometimes hinders) that Trixy is easygoing in general. She's happy to go where the wind should push her, and the more often she doesn't have to make hard decisions, the better. It's all good! Often, she'll go along with something for longer than she ought to before realizing she may have been too relaxed about the situation.
Ruled by the here and now, Trixy acts on impulse and does whatever sounds like the best option here and now. Self-control is often not within her grasp. Similarly, it’s difficult for things to hold her interest for very long. If something bores her or something more interesting or exciting comes along, she follows it off to what she hopes is better pastures. The only long-term thing Trixy has been able to hold onto is beekeeping.
I, the undersigned, hereby agree to follow the charter of walpurgis and all rules therein:
Magic
Area of Expertise
Hide in plain sight - Between Trixy’s potent glamour pixie dust and her natural camouflage abilities, Trixy excels in blending in with others. While her personality screams anything but ‘wallflower’, her abilities have made it easy for her to wander the earth unbothered.
Abilities
Pixie dust - Naturally produced and gathered from her wings, pixie dust is a valuable resource that can carry many properties. Still a relatively young pixie, Trixy’s dust is not as powerful as that of her elders, and, admittedly, she hasn’t spent much time practicing all the properties hers could have, much less the ones she already has. The natural properties she’s most attuned to are as follows…
✦ Glamour - Easily the most practiced use of her dust, Trixy has regularly used her own dust to wander the world without giving herself away to the human community. While she typically used it to hide her wings and shorten her ears, the dust can be used for more commonplace cosmetic glamour uses as well.
✦ Flight - The least practiced, her flight dust is more like levitation dust. The user must propel themselves off of other surfaces if they wish to achieve movement or height above a low levitation. More dust is required for longer use.
Size modification - Trixy tends to vary between 5 inches and 5 feet tall. Smaller sizes are much easier to maintain, but the world is so big that it can be more fun to be at least a middling size. She feels quite comfortable at her usual height of 3’5”, and most of her clothing fits that height, anyhow.
Moorfolk camouflage - By going still, pixies are able to hide themselves within their environment. It must be a conscious effort on the pixie’s part.
Magical blood - Like her sibling, Trixy and her family are attuned to magic and detect its presence in the form of a gut feeling. Trixy can only detect magic within 4 meters, but cannot tell what school of magic it is. Hidden and subtle magic is especially out of the question.Trixy is not very learned in magic other than her own innate skills, and especially has a difficult time recognizing magic aside from the most basic “there is magic here somewhere”.
Limitations
Pixie dust - Trixy can only produce so much per day, and the amount heavily depends on her physical and mental wellness. Additionally, Trixy is fiercely protective of her dust, and is only willing to share it with a very select few.
✦ Glamour - While Trixy's dust has been incredibly helpful in helping her play pretend at being human, it's been less helpful for others. Every so often it doesn't go quite right for those who use it, the problems ranging from slight imperfections in intended design to wholly incorrect results.
✦ Flight - Mileage may vary, in a literal sense. It seems the more negative or stressed the user is overall impacts how long the dust is effective. Users who are more at ease can levitate farther and higher.
Iron - Trixy cannot touch pure iron without burning herself. It acts as a ward, and things like a horseshoe hung above the doors to a house will stop her from entering entirely. Being near iron causes her physical and mental discomfort, and she avoids it whenever possible.
Familiar
Her Royal Majesty, Her Excellency Queen Amadea XI, the queen honeybee of Trixy’s hive. Amadea’s predecessors have been Trixy’s familiars since she was 10. Trixy's relationship with Amadea helps her communicate with her hive easily, and with other insects in the area through them. Royal Jelly blessed by Amadea, though not produced by the Queen herself, also acts as a magic enhancer for Trixy and strengthens her abilities briefly when consumed.
Personal Lore
History
Give us your character's backstory! You can start with a small summary or go right into details. Feel free to add any additional sections you need.
Early Life
Beatrix was born to a large pixie family who specialized in the tradition of wrangling insects. Their primary job was to herd insects into the world at large when they were meant to, and to ensure the balance between nature and insect was correct by moving the bugs to where they were needed. Beatrix’s talents lay with bees especially—honeybees, carpenter bees, bumblebees—sometimes even wasps when she was feeling particularly confident and ornery. She met the first of her familiar’s lineage, Queen Amadea the First, at this point in her childhood.
While Trixy had many siblings, cousins, and friends, she was particularly close to her sibling Mathieu. She played and teased and pulled pranks with them often, and while she encouraged them to practice flying and threw a number of fists in defense of their honor, she failed to be there when Mathieu was cursed, and became resentful (mostly of herself) for not being able to stop them.
Further growing restless and resentful of her home, Trixy eventually left for what she deemed a “pilgrimage”, though there was no true set destination. She wandered magic and mundane communities alike, often setting up shop with her bees and bee byproducts in the nearest magical communities and stealing away to watch humans in the evenings. She wrote home often, especially to Mathieu. Human lives, foods, customs, and traditions fascinated her deeply, but one too many close calls in her wanderings over the earth had her second guessing her escapades. Still, she had met many a fine and wonderful magical being as well, and spent some time longer exploring what the world had to offer.
Moving to Walpurgis
A final close call with humans had Beatrix packing up her little teardrop trailer and setting off for the town Mathieu had settled in. She missed her family, but not so much to return home… but certainly enough to go bother her favorite sibling for a spell. She’s parked herself only just recently, within the past month of writing (May 2021).
Present Day
Trixy’s trailer and motorcycle are parked within the Marasmius Nest on most days, close enough to Mathieu’s burrow to bother him easily, but far enough that her bees can have plenty of space to wander and pollinate. She sleeps in her trailer hitch, and drives into town every few days to sell honey, beeswax candles and blocks, beeswax based hair and skincare products, soaps, crayons, whatever...
Race Lore
Pixies are a smaller species of winged low fae. They often find themselves tied to courts, or inhabit ancient sites such as dolmen, creeks and barrows, depending on their location. Able to camouflage themselves in their environment, they are often found holding scout positions in courts or are guardians of sacred sites. It is extremely rare to find a pixie living alone, far from a form of community.
Traditionally, pixies are benign and mischievous. They are impulsive and love to prank and play, sometimes to a dangerous degree, but it is rarely their intention. Pixies are said to reward consideration and punish neglect, and have an extremely good memory. Some individuals even have a hereditary memory, remembering grudges and blessings from their ancestors. It is never good to cross a pixie.
