Pixie is an Action-Fate card from Nocturne. It's essentially a cantrip one-shot that allows you to double a Boon; but it allows you to see what Boon is coming and figure out if you want it before you decide whether to trash the Pixie and receive the Boon. Games using Pixie include the Heirloom Goat.

Trivia
The man in the art is the Fool. The Pixie is also depicted on Lucky Coin.
Pixie used to be called Fairy, which got changed due to being too close to Ferry.
Preview
Pixie is another Fate card and has another Heirloom. It gives you a Boon twice, but just once, and it hangs around until the Boon is good enough. One of the Boons is The Flame's Gift, which trashes, but it's not super-unfair if Pixie hits that in a game with no other trashers, because there's always another trasher: Goat. It eats anything. And you sell its milk or something.
Secret History
One of the early Fate cards was an attack. Eventually it got "Receive the same Boon twice." That part was fun and kept the card around for too long. It was also problematic; what if there's no trashing this game, and I get The Flame's Gift twice and you don't? When I got sick of having the attack endlessly played (a Militia-family attack), I changed it to non-attack interaction, where you got the Boon 3 times once any Provinces had been gained. People had liked the doubled Boon more when you could pick the Boon, and some versions messed with getting some choice into the mix. It seemed like playtesters would never be happy with it now, and I killed it, then brought it back as Pixie (after it first only gave you the Boon once). You get a choice of Boons in that you can just let the revealed Boon slide and keep the Pixie. And that's all it does, I mean it's a cantrip but there's no attack.
Relevant outtakes
One of the original Fate cards had other players either discard down to 3 or put a card from their hand on their deck, their choice. I'd tried that in Adventures and it hadn't made the cut, and it didn't here either. It was around for a while though, and got paired with "receive a Boon twice" so that it was constantly played. Another trashed a card and gave you the same Boon once per the card cost; that one died in Empires.
Theme of Pixie/Goat
There's not really a connection. The mythology in this set is mostly Celtic. The people who believed in faeries were peasants; they'd have Goats. The things the faeries did involved everyday life.
