Pixie Pristine, or just Pristine, and sometimes nicknamed Priss, as well as “Aunt Pixie” by Sophie Everytime, was a fairy who was a romantic interest of Jenny Everywhere's in at least one incarnation.
Description
Physical appearance
Pristine had a pair of blue butterfly wings and a single lock of electric-blue hair. (PROSE: Family Business)
Personality
Pristine had a relaxed, casual manner in most respects, and liked to act in a playfully self-aggrandising way, though a few things, such as coming within the sights of a more powerful being than herself, could make her drop that attitude.
She was sexually interested in women, as demonstrated by her relationship with Jenny Everywhere. (PROSE: Family Business)
Powers and abilities
Pristine's wings made her genuinely capable of flight. She also had various other magical powers, and formerly owned a crystal ball allowing her to foretell the future and scry on events across universes, although it was eventually stolen from her. In addition to all of this, she was a highly skilled singer and performer. (PROSE: Family Business)
Biography
As a pop star
One universe's version of Pristine “got in trouble with the faerie bigwigs”, with these authorities backing up some unidentified individual's claim to her voice as repayment for a perceived offense. Getting involved, a version of Jenny Everywhere from another universe took Pristine's side and helped her escape to “a few universes over”. This new world was home to a mundane, modern human society, although a few supernatural beings existed on the fringes of that society. Introducing Pristine to “a few people”, Jenny helped Pristine start a new career as a pop singer in the human realm, introducing her to “a few people”.
Her career took off to a greater degree than Jenny had expected, with her becoming, by her own description, “the most successful pop-star in the world”, as well as an icon to other non-humans who existed in this world but, unlike Pristine, did not live openly. Along the way, Jenny and Pristine also started sleeping together, in a fairly casual way. Even after Jenny moved on to other adventures, she often dropped in on Pristine, somehow always seeming to appear just before Pristine was due to appear on-stage, to the pixie's amused frustration.
A “few years” later, on June 17th, 2022, Prime Universe time, half an hour before a show, she received a surprise visit from Jenny, which she wasn't able to foresee because her crystal ball had been stolen — unbeknownst to her, by none other than Jenny Nowhere. Jenny was accompanied by her time-shifted daughter Sophie Pristine and by the father, Lord Thymon. Pristine, who had heard of Thymon in hushed whispers, was initially frightened by the situation, but quickly calmed down, and got along well with Sophie, giving her bubblegum — something of which she apparently made a habit in subsequent years, for which reason Sophie had a particular fondness for her “Aunt Pixie”. The three stayed for her concert, which was a great success as usual. (PROSE: Family Business)
In the aftermath of the subsequent adventure, Jenny Over-There inadvertently kept the crystal ball, which had become somewhat damaged, for herself and brought it back to the M.F.S. office in the 925th Universe. (PROSE: Workplace Reunion)
Behind the scenes
Pixie Pristine was created as an open-source character by Carter-Ethan Rankin on June 25th, 2013 as part of a “30 Characters Challenge” on Facebook where Rankin had set himself the task of creating thirty new open-source characters (with no Paragraph or author-citation necessary), Pristine being the 23rd. As originally defined, she existed in a superheroic setting, as the sidekick to the antiheroic “Iron Lady”, a mashup of Marvel Comics' Iron Man and the iconography surrounding Margaret Thatcher.
| Fairy-princess turned bubblegum pop starlet, Pixie Pristine learned of Antonia Thatcher's double life as Britain's premier super hero, the Iron Lady after meeting her through a friend of a friend. Partly through coercion, partly through blackmail, Pixie became a sidekick to the Iron Lady. When she isn't fighting crime, she's showing all the ladies a good time! Being descended from a magical line of fairies, Pixie Pristine has the natural powers of pixie dust and flight. The limits of this pixie dust have yet to be revealed. |

Although there also exists one piece of artwork of the character by a later artist, dating back to October 2022, PROSE: Family Business is thus far the only known narrative work to use the character.
