I'm thinking of rules. I don't want to be too restrictive, but I dislike races with class abilities and I'm not much of a fan of the homebrew Pixie races I've seen. Not much of a fan of vanilla Pixies either, but that's just fluff.
So;
+1 to three different ability scores of your choosing.
Fey ancestry; resistance to charm, immunity to sleep.
Trance; 4 hours sleep count as 8.
Fly speed 30ft. Walk speed 10ft. Size; Tiny.
Racial invisibility; this is a flight response that your race has learned to use in an additional offensive fashion. However you choose to use it you can turn yourself invisible for six seconds as if casting the invisibility spell. You do not need spell components, hand gestures or vocal commands to do this and this ability regenerates after a long rest.

The ability score thing is nice. (I also know this is super late, but might be beneficial).
-Rather than Fey Ancestry just make them Fey as they aren't elves and Pixies come from the Feywilds.
-Next you can transfer over their Innate Spellcasting. And have them unlock the higher level spells as they level up.
-You can also have their innate invisibility just be a non magic casting of the invisibility spell. (Basically they become invisible for upto an hour depending on concentration).
-You can keep their Magic Resistance because this is something that they are. And it essentially it their form of advantage against charm (spells only though).
-Flying and walking speed should be capped at 30 ft.

A player wants to be a Pixie.

So;
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Size tiny is powerful as she can share another M creatures space (think I remember that correctly).
Fly is really powerful
Invisibility power seem a little weak? Perhaps allows several times per day?
For sketching out race ideas, I like the Race Creation Guide by James Musicus, found here:
It's a reasonably complete point system which gives you a decently balanced race build.
