POWERS:
Primary Powers
Thiriopathy & Thiriokinesis - the ability to communicate with, and control, animals. Pixie can talk to any animal, and can control them to do her will. The degree of communication and control depends on the intelligence of the animal. Non-sentient animals can barely communicate, but are very easy to control. Intelligent animals (dolphins, dogs, cats, the higher primates, for example) can communicate in a complex manner, but are harder to control. It is safer to request help and guide such animals, rather than to dominate them outright.

Secondary Powers
Tactile Kinesis - Pixie can control objects when in direct skin contact with them. This gives her several useful abilities. She can fly - and her wings are used for steering, rather than flight itself. She can lift weights far in excess of the capacity of her muscles. She can stand on a clothes line, or walk on water - the limits of her kinesis are unexplored. She is unaware that she has this power. She knows she can do these things, but has no idea it is tied directly to a secondary super-power. As far as she knows, they are simply natural capacities and part of her pixie-powers.

DESCRIPTION: Pixie is the sort of person that is either completely overlooked, or who stands out a very long way in a crowd. She is tiny - only a whisker or two over three feet tall, and in perfect proportion for her height. That might be handy to avoid being detected. However, she also has glittery dragonfly wings, sparkly golden eyes, and looks for all the world like she just stepped out of some Disney producer's fevered wet dream. Flowing black hair is in contrast to pale skin, and most of the time she ends up wearing clothes meant for kids, or adult clothes that have been ripped up or folded back upon themselves. Her clothes tend to be dirty or ragged, as they get worn until they fall apart, and she has to then find some new items. She is no stranger to dumpster diving.

When she walks, she is light on her feet, and has a endency to hop, run, skip, or flutter her wings in a desperate attempt to keep up with other people, who never seem to make allowances for the fact that her legs are really small, and she can't walk as fast as everyone else, goddamn it!!!

Her voice has a fairly strong accent. It's from London. Not the posh part. She's not exactly a Cockney, but there's enough of the East London twang to make her origins obvious - and cause some people to have trouble making out what she is saying. Her voice is still appropriate to her size, so even if she is swearing like a stevedore with his foot under a packing crate, she sounds like a little girl.

PERSONALITY: Pixie is very much someone who looks after number one. Self-reliance is her mantra. All her life, she has been the freak, the outcast, the butt of the bullying and derision of everyone else. This has made her pretty hard on the outside, and terribly insecure on the inside, and she can be fairly reactionary. She can take offence at the strangest things. Paranoia is a fundamental survival skill. She finds it hard to get close to anyone, and would much rather surround herself with animals, who never judge, and often comprehend how terrible human beings can be.

That said, she is also very loyal to those she thinks of as friends. She will protect them, fight for them, and woe betide anyone who risks her vengance. Most of the time, her friends tend to be four legged, or have wings, but as far as she is concerned, animals are better people than people.

If you want to discover exactly what she can be like if she gets REALLY pissed off, call her little girl. I dare you. I double dare you! (And make sure you have surgical equipment nearby. Just in case...)

HOBBIES: Pixie has litle time for hobbies generally, but she is an avid reader. It is hard for her to get her hands on books a lot of the time, so she tends to make the most of them when she can, and often re-reads the same book several times in one go. She enjoys classic literature particularly. It tells of a life so vastly different to her own, and she loses herself in that world as often as she can.

LIKES: Animals, obviously. Really hot baths - which she hardly ever gets. Dry shelter. Fresh food. She has a sweet tooth. Almost obsessively dedicated to the eating of chocolate. Really. She almost never gets it, and when it is there, she HAS to eat it all, RIGHT NOW!

DISLIKES: People, for the most part. Individuals can be nice enough, but as a species, humanity is pretty hideous. She also has no time for liars, bullies, and anyone who is unkind to animals.
