Alright, here we go:  Draft #1 of The Pixie.  Here are the Moves and Darkest Self that I have planned so far.

Anything to Help

If someone without the Pixie’s Friend Condition gains 5 Strings on you they gain the condition Pixie’s Friend and you mark Experience.

Anytime you Lash Out at someone, you take a penalty equal to the number of Strings they have on you.

Eager to Please

When someone uses a String to offer you Experience for doing something, you carry 1 Forward to do what they ask and when you complete their request they also mark Experience.

Flirty

When you Turn On someone, you gain a bonus to your roll equal to the number of Strings they have on you.

Faerie Food

Anytime you prepare food or drink you can choose to enchant it by rolling Dark.  On a 10+ you may choose one effect from the following list to befall anyone that eats or drinks that food or beverage (as little as one bite or sip will do).  On 7-9 you choose one, and the MC chooses one (MC does not need to disclose their choice until after food/drink is imbibed).

– They gain the Drunk condition

– They gain the Hallucinating condition

– They gain the Amorous condition

– They suffer 1 Harm

– They become their Darkest Self until the end of the scene

– They fall asleep

Sprite

You can manifest translucent wings and fly.  Anyone that witnesses you in flight gains a String on you.

Tinker

You can perform any mundane chore or repair in 1/10th the normal time it takes, as long as it is for someone else.  Anyone that witnesses you working like this gains a String on you.

Silent Helper

If you spend time and/or resources to help someone else without them knowing about it, gain a String on them.  If you do it in such a way that they think someone other than you is responsible for helping them, give the string to this third party and also give that third party a String on you.

Darkest Self: All you do is give, give, give, and all they do is take take take…all of your effort to help and eagerness to please is soured into mischief and malice. Every string that someone holds on you is lost and becomes a string that you have on them. You will use them all to ruin lives and relationships however you can, but with lies and trickery if possible. You leave your Darkest Self either when no one has Strings on you and you have no Strings on anyone, or when someone gains two Strings on you.

I’ve started work on another new Skin – The Pixie.

Where the Frozen is a loner quietly trying to find or keep a precious few people that are important to them, the Pixie is someone who can only validate themselves through how much other people like them.  This is not the co-dependent clingy mortal, this is the social butterfly flinging themselves around and bending over backwards to help others in any way they can in an attempt to find acceptance and love.

I will be posting my initial notes here soon, but I wanted to ask if anyone knew of another skin I am not aware of that was already covering this ground?  And if so, what that skin did right or wrong?
