Language Common, Draconic, Sylvan, Undercommon
SQ change shape (Small or Medium female humanoid, fey-touched humanoid, or anthropomorphic fey; alter self), charm-breaker, feypaths
Charm-Breaker (Sp) Zirk'kth can cast break enchantment as a spell-like ability by using fresh blood from a fey killed within an hour before the casting begins.
Feypaths (Su) Zirk'kth attunement to fey realms allows her to recognize passages between the mundane and the otherworld, where fey entities live. Zirk'kth can find a suitable one-time passage between the worlds by searching a wild place for 2d6 hours (4d6 in places that were touched by civilization but later reclaimed, 1d6 in the deepest wilds). Zirk'kth belong equally to the material plane and the otherworld and is native being to both.
Pixie-Eater (Ex) Against Tiny or smaller beings, Zirk'kth natural attacks gain grab special ability (CMB +13 for grapple checks) and she can use swallow whole special attack when she begins her turn holding a Tiny or smaller creature with her bite or claw (6d6 acid and fire damage, AC 15, 11 hp—her stomach is better protected from internal attacks than typical for creatures capable of swallowing whole, possibly because of countless scares inflicted by gremlins, pixies, and other fey scum she devoured in the past).
Zirk'kth is a lesser dragon with a strong affinity for fey—strong affinity and even stronger hunger, in fact, for she spends most of her time hunting and devouring fey creatures. When she is not stalking some hapless faerie in wilderness, she might be taking her time offering bounties for fey or investigating claims of fey presence among mundane villagers. When dealing with fey stronger than she can handle herself, she might pretend to be a woman in distress haunted by the fey, post a bounty, or otherwise send adventurers against her hated foes. She will also gladly act as an expert of faerie, if the knowledge she will share will kill fey. For now, she easily hunts lesser foes, but she has her eyes on bigger targets.
She does not reveal reasons for her intense hatred, but there are some possible explanations: her kin might have been hunted by faerie highborns. Maybe she was a mortal lady that rejected advances of a faerie highborn and was twisted into a draconic being with a wistful curse. Or maybe she was unfaithful to her faerie lover, or was cursed by her faerie lover's foes?
