Trickster edit
"In mythology and the study of folklore and religion, a trickster is a character in a story (god, goddess, spirit, human, or anthropomorphisation) which exhibits a great degree of intellect or secret knowledge and uses it to play tricks or otherwise disobey normal rules and defy conventional behavior. In the real world they may be real people (or animals) who inhabit or take on this role either deliberately or with no conscious intent."
