When born they are similar to pixies in that they have a hard time expressing more than one or two emotion at a time and can become easily confused around multiple humans or very emotional individuals. Mimsies who have spent more time around humans do not struggle as much with this as some of the newer born fae of this type. Mimsies have an intelligence level that matches humans and only seem stunted with their lack of cultural knowledge.
A Mimsy's phylactery must be kept near their person at all times for them to use their magic and retain a humanoid form. If they venture too far from their phylactery they revert to a more animal-like form and cannot use magic at all. This form is more similar to that of a ferret or stoat.
The magic this type of fae uses most is channeling magic when on Earth. This is magic that is 'borrowed' and not used freely, it must be tapped into by the sprite being close to magically infused beings, places, or items. Magic ranges based on the fae and is not restricted to a certain type, however some items may give the Mimsy more specialized abilities. For example, a Mimsy who has chosen a watch as their phylactery might acquire special time based abilities. (Magic usage/abilities is up to the owner of the Mim to suit their story lines and plots.)
Even if a Mimsy has their phylactery close, they often have a hard time hiding their ears, tails, and markings without Glamour magic. With Glamour, a Mimsy can appear 100% completely human, and easily blend in. Glamour magic is a particular magic that is used most often by fae. It is illusion and manifestation based magic that tricks a human into seeing a fae or magical entity as human or very close to it. A Mimsy who is determined to fit in and dons Glamour will be forcibly reverted back to their ferret-like form after 6 hours, from sheer exhaustion. In order to switch to a humanoid/kemonomimi form again, they will need to recharge their magic and rest (which can be read about below).
If a Mimsy uses too much of their magic and they become so weak they are unable to keep a stable humanoid form (kemonomimi or otherwise) they have two options: they must go back to the Faerie Realm to recharge and rejuvenate their stored magic OR they must find a strong willed human to feed off of to restore their phylactery.
Mimsies can absorb energy and emotions from humans and craft it into magic of their own accord. They are drawn to humans who are experiencing a very strong emotion that reflects the same feelings they are born from. For example, a Mimsy might be born from 'loneliness', by finding a human who is overcome with a great sense of loneliness the Mimsy can sap those negative feelings from the human and recharge their phylactery.
When a Mimsy feeds off of a human's emotions the human stops feeling that emotion for the time being. In this way, Mimsies who feed on negative emotions can be seen as a good thing.
Character traits that are ALWAYS present in this particular fae species include, high levels of curiosity, playfulness, and mischievousness. A Mimsy's curious nature is more often than not a sure fire way that they find themselves stirring up trouble.
Many Mimsies also have hording tendencies. Mimsies are often attracted to objects of similar style to the one their phylactery is made from. Because of this many become collectors or hoarders over time. This is a compulsion that can be fought or denied, however, they still find themselves enamored with particular objects and they may be subject to frequent impulse buys or even stealing.
Mimsy tails are always covered in fur and are not ever scaled, reptilian, aquatic, or leathery.

A friendly reminder to everyone who signed on for a slot and showed interest in getting a MYO Mimsy --- Designs must be turned in by December 31st to validate the slot claim! I look forward to seeing everyone's new Mimsy~
I can add you to the list~ hikarushirou
What I mean by saying their kemonomimi form is hard to maintain, I meant to put a little emphasis that they NEED a phylactery to keep up that form. And if they use a lot of magic otherwise, they would need to actively work harder to maintain the form -- it doesnt just come super naturally for many Mims.
Bostonia We are coming towards the end of the submission window, but I can definitely add you to the list~
Also sorry for the delay Siegfried I did get your message in both places (since I didn't respond right away, feel free to take an extra week to turn in your Mimsy if you need it! I've got you on the list!)
