A house spirit with no ability to stay silent
Most helpful house spirits such as Gnomes, Brownies or Blondies (think Smurfette) are known for being incredibly stealthy, performing their chosen tasks to an exceptionally high standard with no noise. This also applies to their malevolent side, often let out after being disrespected, and the trashing of a place by a burnt brownie is done carried out with the occupant completely unaware until the next morning.
Occasionally, however, a sprite comes along with the same good intention but with the padded step of a one-bull band in a china shop. It may be genetic, or possibly a curse, but the symptoms include an allergic reaction to stairs, local changes in the gravitation of random objects and repeated inversions in world view. Generally, they are ostracized as kindly as possible and collected together in deep forest treatment colonies known as “lumber farms”.
