Lilith or Pandora are good. Maybe Ophelia if she edges into violent/too crazy?
I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serial

I like Robin because it's a unisex name for your androgynous character.

Try finding one of those name-translator sites, and see what comes up in various languages for "trickster". I had a PC who was named Marid* , but I'm not sure what a good feminine form would be for that.

How about Cardano?
Barring that, you could choose a name based on any other mathematician. What is a trickster without the laws of probability, after all?

Nice suggestions, but can anyone tell me what they think of the name Jinxie specifically?

It sounds like something you'd name a cat.
Or a stripper.

"Robin" is excellent, even fancy versions like "Rhob'yndn" aren't that bad.

I was wanting something a little modern sounding, but still unusual. She's had a few different names, she keeps updating them

Banned, selectively
I would go with Raven rather than Robin: Raven Mountebank.
The raven is mythologically associated as being a trickster and your average person won't necessarily know what a mountebank is.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you are probably right.
I wrote a screenplay about a "trickster". I gave him the name Lark, meaning trick.

Ravens have even more associations with wisdom and ill omen than with trickery. And sadly, ravens are overused as all hell.

I'd go with Jinx, instead of Jinxie. Personally, I think Pandora was the best name suggested so far; it sounds really chaotic, which is exactly what you want your trickster to be.
EDIT: Actually, I just realized that your character is meant to be androgynous. In that case, I'd go with either Jinx or Robin.

I have this character in my story, who's this sort of Great Gazoo like Trickster who pretty much gives the heroine her powers and disappears for a while. I'm having trouble coming up with something to call him/her. At first I was thinking Jinxie, but I grew tired of that. I was also considering Robin, after Robin Goodfellow, but I'm not sure that fits. Does anyone have any ideas? Here are her traits
-Androgynous and young looking -Has a real showman like attitude, kind of like Puck from Gargoyles or Clopin from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. -His/her main color motif is purple. -Is a fan of works of fiction, -If you're trying to picture her, think of something like a cross between
