Hi flaps,
I'm not exactly sure what meaning you're looking for, but you might also want to try easygoing, lighthearted, lackadaisical, or reckless.

thank you for your answers. isn't mischievous used mainly for children?
and I'm using serious as a positive attribute (solemn), so a person can be serious and easygoing. for me they are not opposites. |

Hi flaps,
I believe you are seeking an antonym for serious. Meadowlark's suggestions are quite good. A thesaurus might be a good resource for you at this time. Try this link and click on "lighthearted." The ones I like are lighthearted, laid back, happy-go-lucky and carefree.
