FAIRY LORE  

The enchanted world of magical beings is full of wonder, but two of the most beloved creatures—fairies and pixies—are often mistaken for one another. While they may both have wings and a sprinkle of magic, their personalities, styles, and mischief levels are totally different.

So… are you a fairy or a pixie?

Let’s explore the difference—and help you choose your magical team!

🌸 What Is a Fairy?

Fairies are known for their gentle energy, connection to nature, and radiant beauty. They tend to dwell in flower-filled meadows, forest groves, and shimmering ponds. Fairies are often helpers and protectors of nature, spreading kindness, hope, and a little sparkle wherever they go.

Fairy traits include:

• Light, graceful energy
• A love of sunlight, morning mist, and soft petals
• A gentle, nurturing spirit
• An eye for beauty and harmony
• Shimmering pastel wings

🌑 What Is a Pixie?

Pixies, on the other hand, are the clever troublemakers of the magical world. They're sharp, witty, playful—and sometimes a bit chaotic. Pixies thrive in hidden places: tangled woods, shadowy glens, and twilight clearings. They’re fiercely loyal but rarely predictable.

Pixie traits include:

• Dark, mysterious charm
• A love of nighttime, secrets, and smoky magic
• Mischievous, spontaneous energy
• A bold sense of humor and adventure
• Iridescent or jagged wings with a wild edge

🧭 So Which One Are You?

The truth is—we all have a little magic inside. But are you the radiant light of a fairy or the wild spark of a pixie?
