===Extensions===
Players have the option of adding '''extensions''' to their NeoHome. As of November 2006, adding extensions to a NeoHome does nothing to its appearance, but the added features are displayed under the NeoHome link on a user's [[User Lookup]]. All extensions start at level 0, and new extensions are available with the more rooms add.

[[Image:Sophie HTD.gif|right|frame|Sophie's ''How to Draw'' final image]]

'''Sophie''' is a Green [[Ixi]] introduced on June 16, 2005 through the [[Neopets TCG]] [[Lost Desert]] expansion and shown fully in [[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]] on November 15, 2006. A former citizen of [[Neovia]], she was safely taken out of the village when it became cursed and was given a hut in a swamp by [[Ilere]] in order to survive. Is the daughter of [[Edmund]] and [[Alice]], and siblings to [[Bruno]] and [[Reginald]]. She currently lives alone in that same hut surrounded by [[Meowclop]]s, bordering the lands of [[Meridell]] and Neovia (also considered [[Werelupe Woods]]). She makes it a habit to scare [[Neopet]]s away from her and sometimes even turn them into [[Petpet]]s or [[Petpetpet]]s. Though crude in her actions, Sophie is generally a good character, but wishes to be left alone.

==Plot Info==
===Neopets: The Darkest Faerie===
:''Main Article: [[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]]''

When [[Tormund]] and [[Roberta]] came to Werelupe Woods to fight the [[Werelupe King]] for [[Illusen]]'s Charm, they meet Sophie, who knows they are going to the [[Werelupe]] Den and wil help them get past the giant skull guarding it if they find her a raw [[Wartroot]]. After retrieving the Wartroot from an underground cavern in the swamp, Sophie tells a story of how she made a necklace to get into the Werelupe Burrows for a young Neopet. He used the necklace to try and steal the Werelupe King's treasue, but got buried alive. Instead of making a new one, Sophie sends them to the location of the old one at his crypt.

===The Tale of Woe===
:''Main Article: [[The Tale of Woe]]''

In Gypsy Camp of the [[Haunted Woods]], users are told the story of a time when Gilly passed while she was lost in the woods, and told a story herself: Long ago in [[Neovia]] lived the family [[Edmund]] and [[Alice]] and their 3 children, who were [[Bruno]], [[Reginald]] and Sophie. Their family was the first to fall in the trap set by [[Mr. Krawley]], who offered mysterious potions to all of the inhabitants of Neovia. Every single person was lured into it, convinced that their one big problem would be resolved, and were soon cursed by their desires. The rioting inhabitants were furious and blamed the family when Mr. Krawley disappeared. Edmund ordered Reginald to take Sophie into the Woods. There they stumbled upon the [[Ilere]], who Sophie decided to go with of her own free will despite Reginald's worry, saying she felt safe with her.

After Gilly was told the story, she found Neovia and an abandoned house, where she discovered a silver locket. taking it to the [[Deserted Fairground]], she asked around for information on it, and eventually returned to Neovia to discover a spooky shack with '''Sophies Rocking Chair''' at the front.

Faerieland Employment Agency

{{construction|reason=More in-depth information required, basic article design to be created and decided upon, trivia and lists to fill out}}
The '''Employment Agency''' is a [[quest]]-based game released on April 2nd, 2001.

==Overview==
Users can receive [[Neopoint]]s for completing jobs, which they are given a certain amount of time to complete. They can range from collecting a certain number of [[item]]s or receiving a high score in a game.

Users are given the option of selecting between a ''Basic Job'' or a ''Super Job''. A basic job has no requirements, and can be completed by any user. Due to this, it's very hard to receive one because they are taken so fast. A super job requires a ''Job Coupon'', and while they are more difficult tasks to complete, they offer a much higher base NP reward.

Upon completing their task, the user returns to the job status page to give their items, and receive an NP reward based on how fast they completed the job, and the base NP reward. Some jobs have a very low base NP reward, and cost much more to complete. It's up to the user which jobs they should take, and if they are worth the effort to complete.

==Job Coupons==
'''Job Coupons''' are used for Super Jobs, which give a higher base NP award than basic jobs. When a user presented a Job Coupon for a job, it's used as a form of payment, and the user is given back a lower denomination coupon, which continues until the user gives a ''Green Job Coupon'', the lowest level coupon, at which point no coupon will be given.

Originally, Job Coupons were given out as promotional prizes for signing up for different sponsors, but have since been shut down. To help create new Job Coupons, the new ''Brightvale Job Coupon'' was released, which gave an even higher base NP reward than the previous Job Coupons could. By using these new coupons, users could receive older coupons. Despite this, many coupons are still expensive.

As of April 2007, there are 11 different Job Coupons, listed below in the level they go in...

*Green Job Coupon ''(lowest level)''
*Blue Job Coupon
*Red Job Coupon
*Silver Job Coupon
*Gold Job Coupon
*Purple Job Coupon
*Pink Job Coupon
*Green Brightvale Job Coupon
*Bronze Brightvale Job Coupon
*Silver Brightvale Job Coupon
*Gold Brightvale Job Coupon ''(highest level)''

==Employee rank==
Neopets who complete a certain number of jobs receive a designated rank for their achievements. Below are the ranks and the number of jobs they must complete to attain them...

*'''Beginner''' - 1 - ?
*'''????''' - ? - ?
*'''Director''' - ? - 4000
*'''Leader''' - 4001  - 6000
*'''Master''' - 6001 - 9,999
*'''Grand Master''' - 10,000
*'''Arch Master''' - Given to the #1 employee

==Trivia==
*A [[Lupe]] called [[Borgarigmus]] is referenced in the Employment Agency description, said to have good and bad times with jobs. However, the only "Borgarigmus" on [[Neopets (website)|Neopets]] is user owned and has not participated in the Employment Agency.
