Pixie

High Folk
Fae
General Description
The physically stronger of the two Fae races, Pixies are distinguishable from their Faerie brethren by being a bit larger generally, with darker skin, feathery antennae and wings more akin to those of moths, solid with usually only two or three colours - these also have small spikes along the edges if the individual has lost their wings and regrown them at some point. They also have a standout trait in the form of a unique “ruff” of long fluffy white fur across the back of their neck, threading around their trapezoids and onto their collar bones, stopping about halfway along. 
 
Behaviour
Though much like the Faeries in behaviour in many respects, Pixies tend to be the more aggressive and open to combat of the two Fae races, which is why they make up the majority of the Faerie Isle's military. They are surprisingly strong for their size and are not unwilling to use this fact to wreak havoc on anyone who wrongs them. However, generally they are just as friendly as their Fae cousins, if more mischievous in nature. 
 
Anatomical Experts and Pixie Tattoo Culture
The Pixies have a slightly different take on their affinity for nature. Rather than using it to heal, like the Faeries do, they use it to gain an instinctive knowledge of the anatomy of various creatures. While this can be used for practical reasons (this, combined with the Fae’s natural dexterity and their small size being perfect for precision, makes Pixies incredible surgeons), this knowledge is more commonly used for one of the things that make Pixies stand out even further from their Faerie counterparts: seemingly inspired by contact with the Giants from some unknown point centuries earlier in their history, the Pixies seem to have picked up their tattoo culture. However, they have taken it to even more of an extreme than the Giants’ famous blue tribal tattoos. Usually bright red blackout designs and often covering large areas of their bodies, Pixie tattoos are always absolute masterpieces taking hours to complete and insanely intricate depicting subjects like Leànnite religious chants, animals, trees and stylised interpretations of scenes from legends amongst other things. It is these which are the reason why Pixies are considered the best tattoo artists on Oerth, and Pixie tattooists are in high demand in urban locations like Ādīsi Geneti and Mor’koc.
