Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Megan Gwynn was a short, slender, and exceptionally cheerful female humanoid of the human race who possessed a highly distinct, fairy-like anatomical phenotype. She had fair skin, large and expressive solid black eyes, and a highly notable head of short, straight bright pink hair styled into a loose, casual cut that naturally framed her face. Her most defining biological feature was a large set of four translucent, multi-coloured rainbow-colored butterfly wings situated symmetrically on her back, which fluttered continuously to support her movement. She wore the standard-issue training uniform designated for the Xavier Institute's new recruits, which consisted of a vibrant yellow and dark blue form-fitting bodysuit designed to handle high physical stress. To ensure her safety while mastering her aerial mechanics, she wore a specialized, dark blue bicycle helmet strapped securely onto her head, and her look was completed with flexible athletic combat boots, entirely lacking traditional superhero capes or heavy military armor plating.

Her mother was Mrs. Gwynn was a fairy-like humanoid with pointed ears, black eyes and purple hair who was strong enough to easily knock aside a Mutant. (X-Men: Pixie Strikes Back v1 #1)
Powers and abilities
Megan Gwynn was born a member of the human race where she was a member of the Mutant species, possessing an inherently altered genetic framework that yielded a unique combination of insectoid flight architecture and bio-chemical elemental generation. She operated as an active trainee within the Paragons squad under the direct guidance of Wolfsbane, demonstrating that her baseline agility, aerial maneuvering coordination, and team morale were advanced enough to be integrated into official X-Men team development tracks. She possessed the extraordinary power of Hallucinogenic Dust Generation, allowing her to exude a unique, glittering bio-chemical substance she called pixie dust directly from her wings while flying. Megan Gwynn possessed the versatile skill to scatter this psychotropic agent over targeted parameters, causing anyone who inhaled or absorbed the dust through their skin to instantly experience powerful, pacifying hallucinations and profound mind-altering distortions of reality. She supplemented her natural flight maneuverability with advanced aerial traversal tactics, enabling her mind to navigate the school grounds safely without requiring standard handheld firearms, dark occult magic, or mechanical military weaponry. (New X-Men: Academy X v1 #5)
Megan had said that she did not know what her targets experienced when they were exposed to her Pixie dust. (New X-Men v1 #38)
