The Spanish female sprite! (3)
I believe the answer is:
elf
'sprite' is the definition.
(an elf is a sprite)
'the spanish female' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'el'+'f'='ELF'
(Other definitions for elf that I've seen before include "Mischief-maker" , "Magical being" , "Mischievous fairies" , "Small creature" , "Pixie (able to cobble?)" .)
