Personality[]
Puck is a mischievous and malicious fairy, he is cunning even by fairy standards and very manipulative and intelligent. As admitted by Puck, he had many similarities to Loki, as both enjoyed toying with mortals and exposing their hypocrisy and causing chaos in the world. However, unlike Loki, Puck is considerably nicer and more well meaning in his chaos and mischievousness, as he stated that he only messes with and destroy those that he deems deserve is, the arrogant, the evil and malicious. And he dislikes dragging and involving the innocent in his schemes. This was shown where Puck had initially agreed to help Loki bring down Morpheus due to his arrogance, but soon hesitated and eventually relented when he realized that Daniel, an innocent baby, would be hurt by their scheme. Having tried to bring back Daniel to his mother due to him having little understanding of even why he was being used by them.
Puck was also noted to be more sincere in his romantic relationships, as shown where it was heavily implied that he was genuinely in love with Loki and was helping him because of that love, rather than the desire to just cause chaos and destruction as Loki wanted. As displayed when he had tried to negotiate with "Dream" to release Loki from his obligation to him when he tried to return Daniel to his mother.
