Self-Portrait: Being Literal

Being literal isn't a bad thing but I wanted to do something quirky. One of my quirks is my fascination with folklore and recently I just finished a book on Irish folklore. Most of it was about witches and fairies. Fairies were described as harmless, mischievous, and playful creatures. Their moods swing as quickly as a child and I would know since I live with two of them.
    My little brother and sister tend to rub off on me and I feel the urge to play the roles they envisioned for me. I love playing as the monster and chasing after them. Even though I am the monster my intentions are not evil only playful in mischievous sense. Which is what inspired the "elf" ears, wicked smile, and the gleam in the eyes.
