Pixies

Pixies hold a strange place among the differing species. In many regards, they are exceptional and have no life cycle dependent entirely on themselves. They lack a cultural identity, and they don’t even experience a phase of maturation. Pixies are born from flowering plants pollinated by the Leshy. Some pixies are capable of determining which Leshy and treat them as a parent, though that is often the exception.

Pixies are born already at maturity and live a life that seems to have no end based upon age. They’re capable of endless revitalization and can always appear just as they were born. The plant they were born from generally affects the pigment of their skin and hair. They are unable to have children -- though some pixies will mimic other species and “adopt” a child of a differing species, regardless of the individual’s acceptance. There are many interpretations of a pixie’s death, but their body always fades away rapidly. Pixies don’t mourn other pixies, often saying that they will return sometime in the future.

It’s theorized, but unconfirmed, that pixies reincarnate and are vaguely aware of their past lives. This theory is supported by their ability to speak, read, and even perform complicated, trained labor on the day of their birth.

Pixies have a culture of mimicry and often take on traits and positions in society that other races very well might. They have a penchant for becoming comedians as their observations on the world have a mix of naivete and caustic bluntness.
