==Plot Summary==
===Battle for Meridell===
:''Main Article: [[Battle for Meridell]]''

The Court Dancer was sent as a gift to [[King Skarl]] from [[Lord Kass]], and the moment she started dancing she had him and the whole castle under her spell. When the Kass army attacked the outskirts of Meridell, she put a spell under the villagers [[Jeran]] was trying to protect, turning them into zombies, forcing him to retreat.

==Trivia==
*As of November 2006, The Court Dancer is featured in 10 different [[item]]s.
*Users who enter the [[Neopian Times]] sometimes portray The Court Dancer as a good character tricked or framed to help Lord Kass, going by a variety of names other than "The Court Dancer". However, because it's [[Wikipedia:Fan fiction|fan fiction]] none of it can be taken as canon.

'''The Darkest Faerie''' (also known as ''The Sleeper'', ''The Betrayer'' and ''Mistress of Nightmares'') is a powerful [[Dark Faerie]] who was one of [[Altador]]'s 12 great [[Gallery of Heroes|heroes]] before she betrayed them. She was so powerful she was sealed away at the bottom of the sea for 1,000 years by [[Fyora]] after she tried to force the kingdom of [[Altador]] under her rule. Since then her name has been forgotten, and is now simply referred to as the darkest and most evil of all [[Faerie]]s.

==Plot summaries==
===Neopets: The Darkest Faerie===
{{Main|Neopets: The Darkest Faerie}}

The Darkest Faerie is the main antagonist of the game and its title character. At the start of the game, The Darkest Faerie escaped from her imprisonment under the sea when Jerdana's Orb fell from her neck. Soon after that, she washed up on the shores of [[Meridell]], claiming she was going to make everything dark and twisted. After [[Illusen]]'s charm was stolen by the [[Werelupe King]], nothing could stop The Darkest Faerie from taking over the land, and she quickly covered Meridell in a dark purple cloud, tainting all inhabitants under them (sans Tormund who had a necklace that protected him from her magic) with her evil. She also attacked Faerieland, tainting the inhabits as well and tying up Fyora. (sans Roberta who had a necklace similar to Tormund's) Thanks to Tormund and Roberta she was imprisoned in stone once again.

===Altador Plot===
{{Main|Altador Plot}}

In the [[Altador Plot]], users were required to find The Darkest Faerie's contellation, known as ''The Sleeper''. Finding her constellation began to break down a spell that was cast over Altador to cover up it's history.

On the 28th of March, a new link was discovered on the [[Altador]] map that led to the ''Restive Tomb''. Clicking one of the holes in the center of the door would reveal the pattern of the first constellation. Go back to the Archivist then to the observatory. Find the constellation and report back to the Astronomy Club. The gems above the Darkest Faerie statue now glow and ''The Sleeper'' chapter in the ''Book of Ages'' is filled in.

====Book of Ages: Chapter 1, The Sleeper====
[[image:darkestfaerie.PNG|frame|The Darkest Faerie's Book of Ages portrait]]
<blockquote>''Just as a hero must perform a heroic deed before he can be named as such, a villain must also do something terrible in order to earn such a title. The Betrayer was not always an evil being and was once even respected for her deeds. Long before the Great Betrayal, (in fact, before the founding of Altador), she earned her place among the twelve Founders by saving the life of King Altador himself.'' 

''A terrible menace was plaguing a peaceful farmland, and a hunter (the future king of Altador) journeyed forth to slay the beast. He tracked it back to its lair in a cave at the base of a mountain and there cornered it. Though the beast roared viciously, Altador did not falter.'' 

''Rather, he notched an arrow and let it fly, striking the beast squarely in the head. Even as the vile creature slumped to the ground, another of its kind snuck up on the unsuspecting Lupe. The noble hunter would have fallen then and there if not for a purple blast of magic. Startled, Altador spun around, just in time to see the other creature collapse. There, standing behind it, was a dark faerie... the Betrayer.'' 

''Altador thanked her graciously for saving his life. He had never witnessed such compassion on the part of a dark faerie before, so he bid her to return with him to his village, where they would feast and be praised as heroes.''

''Each carried the head of the beast they had slain to the village, and a grand celebration was held long into the night. Altador, realising what a unique ally he had acquired, asked her to stay and join him and his companions in fulfilling a dream he had of founding a great city. The Betrayer agreed, and though she would ultimately help to build the kingdom's august capital and serve the council well, nothing can make up for her terrible betrayal. She broke the king's heart, for no sword strikes as deep as the one wielded by a friend....''</blockquote>

==Trivia==
*[[Random Event]]s involving the Darkest Faerie...
**''The Darkest Faerie appears to be deep in thought and doesn't notice you. You'd better run before she finds you and... well, you don't want to know what will happen.''
*It was long thought that the name of the Darkest Faerie was [[Jennumara]], the Dark Faerie who had stolen the name of a [[Grey Faerie]] in her [[Neopedia]] article. However, this speculation was cleared in the editorial of issue 239 of the [[Neopian Times]], stating they were two separate Dark Faeries.
*Added to the [[Gallery of Evil]] on November 10, 2006.
*The Mysterious Statue is The Darkest Faerie sleeping, doomed to never awake.
