A pixie is not a small princess. That is the mistake the first run usually makes.

Pixie Friends is built around the idea that these creatures are made of the same material as the wood they live in, so the wardrobe is petals, leaves, bark, moss and spider silk rather than fabric. Once you dress her from the forest instead of from a shop, the whole thing clicks, and the wings stop looking bolted on.

The creator handles face, skin, eyes and hair, then hands you a wing set with real variety: dragonfly, moth, butterfly, and a few that belong to no insect at all. Colour runs through all of it, so a green pixie and a red one read as different species rather than the same doll repainted.

It is the widest canvas of the fairy games here, at 958 pixels, and it uses the room.

How to play Pixie Friends

Choose the wing shape early in this one, unusually. Everything else is built to sit around it. Hair and headpiece together, since the flower crowns and leaf pieces are cut to specific hairstyles. The palette is the real tool. Take one colour through the wings, the dress and the hair and the character stops looking assembled.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a pixie and a fairy?

In folklore, size and temperament: pixies are smaller, older and considerably more mischievous. In this game it mostly shows in the wardrobe, which is wilder and less courtly than a fairy set.

Can I make a boy pixie?

The character base is female. For male fantasy characters, the fantasy avatar creators on the doll creator shelf go further.

Is this related to Pixie Hollow?

No, it is not a licensed game. It draws on the same folklore that those stories draw on.
