PUCK
General Personality: Mischievous but not malicious is Puck's motto. A trickster by trade he does his best to never actively hurt anyone but sometimes his pranks do have a tendency to go to far. Puck is carefree and exuberant while loving to be around things that make him laugh and in making other people laugh. If anything he becomes more focused and vexed by those without a good sense of humor. He has a capacity for figuring out what can frustrate people and use that to his advantage to help alleviate their stresses or to intensify them.
Puck is clever and multi-talented when it comes to his performance art and absolutely loves to get a crowd on his side. He strongly believes that “All the world is a stage” applies to all living creatures and that each person is a protagonist in their own story. He loves to flirt and finds that he hates commitment. This noncommittal nature is not just in a romantic sense but also when it comes to jobs, he finds that it can be equally banal to be stuck on one thing for to long. While a loyal friend to those who he believes worthy, he will still take to pulling jokes on them as a sign of affection.
While most of the time Puck will get largely frustrated by people in positions of authority, those who are humorless, and others with purely selfish intentions Puck will dismiss it with his own frivolity but should you overstep his courtesy then look out. Though Puck can be an almost inexhaustible source of mirth his wrath is equally strong in the opposite end of the spectrum. He is capable of being incredibly spiteful should someone wrong him and it can be safe to assume he will go to extreme lengths to plot out a fitting revenge.

History: Awakening in Storybrooke originally left Puck with none of his memories and in his place is Robert Burnett. Robert acted the drama teacher at the school and enjoys getting kids to embrace their deeper repressed feelings. He always feels a sense of magic and wonder whenever he is on the stage. He loves a good joke and is frequently found probing his fellow faculty for information and seeing if he can sneak into other places pretending that he belongs.
Fairy Tale History: As a fairy in the Enchanted Forest, Puck was supposed to abide by the same rules and regulations all faye folk were placed under. Learning to use magic, the proper handling of fairy dust, to never lie, to not take human size unless absolutely necessary... Even at a young age Puck had broken all of these rules and many more. Ever a fan of interfering in the affairs of other fairies on and off duty, he frequently would journey into towns and delight the children with his shape shifting while making trouble for those whom he felt were a little to pretentious before dissipating into the night. His disruptive and child like behavior proved a pain or pleasure to his fellow fairies. Being able to give the others a good laugh, his wild streak proved almost intolerable for Reul Ghorm whom Puck in hindsight admits he may have had a small crush on despite her rigid personality. Still a servant for good Puck was fond of helping if not in a slightly round about method. Often he liked to see the people whose wishes he granted have to work for what they wanted, or the opposite was to give them what they wanted only to let them discover that maybe it wasn't really the desire they should have fulfilled. After learning the lesson he would often finally restore things to as they should be.
Despite the rules that a fairy should never lie or be deceptive Puck found that it was more in his nature to subvert the rules and orders and often will use deception to see a person for what they really are before making a judgment call about them. Often his tests are in order to tell if a person is truly worthy of receiving what would make them happy but later he may feign having done something by mistake even if it was done intentionally. Given his repeated history of these types of behavior he never was held in a very high position of approval by The Blue Fairy, though to Pucks' credit he had a very good success record if not a very orthodox one.
Over time Puck has reflected on his position as a fairy and knows that it is not without its flaws. Being a fairy gives him magic but being in a sort of servitude position to those in need and especially the higher ranking Fairy can be a bit of a buzz kill. Although he is bound to obey, Puck has now been known on one more than one occasion to twist his superiors words so that he will 'obey' while still making a bit more chaos for fun.
