The Grey Faerie is a Faerie in Neopia which has had her wings removed, destroying all her use in magic. Introduced to Neopets through a Neopedia article on April 18, 2003, to date there is only one known Grey Faerie (originally named Baelia), although there may be more in hiding. As told in a the original Neopedia article, Baelia was stripped of her magical powers imprisoned by a Dark Faerie named Jennumara. She was freed by Tavi, a mountain climber who tricked the lock of her cage. It is said she would regain her powers when she received a new name.

Bottled Grey Faerie

On April 18, 2003 when the Grey Faerie Neopedia was released, an image of a Bottled Faerie with the Grey Faerie inside was found on the servers, raising speculation about Baelia and a possible plot. This suspicion was raised when The Neopets Team revealed in Neopian Times editorial #90 users would "be hearing more about grey faeries soon", hinting there were many more Grey Faeries. Since that time, no news about the Grey Faerie has been released, making users wonder if the plot has been abandoned or rescheduled.
