I peeked at the Heroes of Horror book since you mentioned that as a valid source so I think I'll make a Pixie Archivist. The combination evokes the imagery of a very small person surrounded by very large books. A hero of the Fae for atypical reasons, not because she's a powerful warrior but because she remembers what others do not and seeks out lost knowledge for the sake of her people (which kinda ties into the events spurring the heroes to action). I like that, though, the idea that a hero of the humans isn't the same metric by which a hero of the Fae might be considered.

The level adjustment is going to hurt but I think I can work with it. It really just means that she'll only have access to up to sixth level spells, rather than up to eighth level spells but given the high stats she'll have because she's a Pixie it should even put with those lower level spells being much stronger anyway.

I'll roll now and start working on that sheet.
