Fairy in English folklore (5)

I believe the answer is:

pixie

(Other definitions for pixie that I've seen before include "Small human-like supernatural being" , "Supernatural being with pointed ears" , "Pointy-eared dwarf" , "Little person" , "Mischievous fairy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
