[[Image:Faerie quest hub news 2011.jpg|right|frame|Just a few of the faeries that inhabit Neopia.  From left to right: an [[Air Faerie]], [[Delina]], [[Queen Fyora]], a [[Water Faerie]], and a [[Light Faerie]].]]

The '''faeries''' are an all-female race of magical creatures that inhabit [[Neopia]]. They were first introduced to the [[Neopets]] website on January 14, 2000. Faeries are [[Wikipedia:Humanoid|humanoid]] in appearance and have slightly pointed ears. With the exception of the [[Wikipedia:Mermaid|mermaid]]-like [[Water Faerie]]s, all faeries have a pair of wings on their back that give them the ability to fly. If these wings are removed, the Faerie loses its power and becomes a [[Grey Faerie]].

Although they can be found in many places across [[Neopia]], faeries are most readily encountered in [[Faerieland]], a kingdom ruled over by [[Fyora]] the Faerie Queen. Some faeries set quests for players, rewarding them for retrieving certain items. Players may also encounter Bottled Faeries, Faeries that have been captured by [[Balthazar]], that will [[abilities|bless]] a Neopet if freed by them. 

As magical creatures, Faeries are capable of changing their size from being larger than most Neopets to being small enough to be caught in a bottle. Their size is also indicative of their power: large faeries tend to be more powerful faeries. Faeries have played roles as heroes and villains Neopian history: for example, the [[Space Faerie]] saved Neopia from [[Dr. Sloth]]'s [[Arrival of Virtupets|mutation ray]], Queen Fyora imprisoned [[The Darkest Faerie]] for a thousand years, [[Psellia]] rescued [[Jeran]] during the [[Battle for Meridell]]. Furthermore, as discovered during the course of [[The Faeries' Ruin]] plot, the magic of the faeries keeps mysterious dark wraiths from invading the land. 

==Types==
The most common faeries are associated with one of six elements:
{|align=center
|-valign=top
|width=200|
*[[Air Faerie]]s
*[[Dark Faerie]]s
|width=200|
*[[Earth Faerie]]s
*[[Fire Faerie]]s
|width=200|
*[[Light Faerie]]s
*[[Water Faerie]]s
|}

There are also several unique faeries that do not simply belong to an elemental type:

{|align=center
|-valign=top
|width=200|
*[[Aethia]], the Battle Faerie
*[[Fyora]], the Faerie Queen
*[[Jhuidah]], the Island Faerie
|width=200|
*[[Kari]], the Negg Faerie
*[[Mira]], the Space Faerie
*[[Taelia]], the Snow Faerie
|width=200|
*The [[Library Faerie]]
*The [[Soup Faerie]]
*The [[Tooth Faerie]]
|}

Lastly, when a faerie losses her wings and her magical powers, she becomes a [[Grey Faerie]].

==Bottled Faeries==
{{main|Bottled Faerie}}
[[Image:Bottlefaerie fire.gif|right]]
Sometimes, an unfortunate faerie will be captured by [[Balthazar]] the bounty hunter and imprisoned in a small glass bottle.  These bottled faeries act as tradable [[item]]s on the [[Neopets]] website.   They are sold at [[Neopian Magic Shop|Kauvara's Magic Shop]] and are also sometimes given out as prizes for certain [[game]]s, such as the [[Alien Aisha Vending Machine]].  If a [[Neopet]] releases a faerie from its bottle prison, the newly freed faerie will grant blessings to the Neopet that freed it.  These blessings can then be used to purchase [[abilities]] at [http://www.neopets.com/dome/abilities.phtml Aethia's Ability Academy].

==Faerie Quests==
:''Main Article: [[Faerie Quest]]''

Faeries may ask for items from players in return for rewards like stat increases or new paint colours. Originally, users could request to do a Faerie Quest but they became random events on October 2nd, 2000. These quests have no time limit but the [[Shop Wizard]] cannot be used until they are completed or declined. 

In February 2011 and 2012, the faeries ran an event where players could visit to be granted a quest a day to help Faerieland rebuild. 

Three other faeries ask for items, but under a time limit and do not stop you from searching the Shop Wizard. These are [[Jhudora's Bluff]], [[Illusen's Glade]], and the [[Snow Faerie]] quests. 

==Trivia==
*Early faerie artwork did not have faces - although [[The Neopets Team]] explained that faeries have always had faces, they just hadn't always drawn them.
