# PopPixie

PopPixie is an Italian animated television miniseries created by Iginio Straffi. Its only season aired on Rai 2 for just over two months, from 10 January to 22 March 2011. The show features a cast of pixies, who were first introduced as secondary characters in the second season of Winx Club. PopPixie is aimed at younger viewers, with an intended audience of 4 to 6-year-olds.
The miniseries was first announced in May 2009, and its first episode was previewed at MIPCOM. After Nickelodeon became a co-developer of the main Winx Club series, the company announced that PopPixie would air on its global network of channels beginning in late 2011.
PopPixie is set in a small town called Pixieville, which is inhabited by creatures like pixies, elves, and gnomes. The town is fed from the Tree of Life, an ancient tree that provides the Pixies' MagicPops, spheres that contain good magic related to a pixie's special talent. If a pixie uses her or his talent for good, she or he will receive a MagicPop and become a PopPixie. The Pixies are human kid-like tiny creatures. This show features characters like Lockette, Amore, Chatta, Tune, Piff, Digit, Livy, Fixit, Pam, Caramel, Martino, and Cherie.

* Lola: She flies backwards, but having trouble to fly right, she only appears on "Flying Money".

### Elves

* Floxy is a boy with a special talent for spiteful tricks and bad jokes. He is not particularly intelligent and is the most immature of the Elves. There is nothing that he takes seriously and since his organisational skills are nil, he follows Rex faithfully. Floxy is both lazy and greedy. He loves cakes more than money.
* Narcissa is equally lazy and quirky. She dreams of living the life of a great lady, something that Floxy cannot give her. Narcissa pushes Floxy to be better than the others and this often lands her fiancé in situations that she doesn't know how to get out of. For Narcissa, this is a very painful situation, and she reacts in all the wrong ways, feeling inferior to her chums who have better male partners than she has.
* Lenny is wacky and loves taking risks for the sake of excitement, reckless and irresponsible. Although he is unpredictable and independent, he is always the first to follow Rex and Yucca in some new raid on Pixieville.
* Yucca is the fiancé of Lenny. Yucca is frivolous and adores extreme shopping.
* Rex is an arrogant and haughty elf. He admires Maxine and thinks that the rest of the world is not worthy of his attention. Compared to the others, Rex has a more mature and criminal side to his character. This aspect of his character particularly appeals to Maxine, his fiancé who is very ambitious.
* Maxine is very malicious and is the dominating personality of the couple with Rex. As the meanie of the elves, she uses all her charm to keep Rex firmly where she wants him. As Rex is a model for the boy Elves, Maxine is the role model for girl Elves.

### Other characters
