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]].

While most faeries appear to be roughly the size of a normal human, [[TNT]] has stated that faeries can use their magic to shrink at will, becoming small enough to fit inside of a bottle.  This shrinking power was explicitly demonstrated by the [[The Four Faeries|Four Faeries]] in [[Neoquest II]].  Faeries are also known to be very long lived, or perhaps even immortal.  Queen Fyora, for example, is at least one thousand years old.
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.  


==Faerie types==
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.
Within the world of Neopets, there are six types of faeries, each of which correspond to one of the six magical elements of Neopia:
 
==Types==
The most common faeries are associated with one of six elements:

In addition to this, there are currently nine unique faeries that do not seem to belong to any of the above faerie types:
More powerful elemental faeries used to be called [[wiktionary:uber|Uber]] faeries, and it was these faeries specifically that gave out [[Faerie Quest]]s. There are also several unique faeries that do not simply belong to an elemental type:

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

As well as the more common spell faerie, there are also six extra-powerful versions of each faerie called the Uber Faeries. They, along with the [[Faerie Queen]], the [[Fountain Faerie]], [[Delina]], and the [[Space Faerie]], grant [[quests]] to users, asking for specific items in return for altering a pet's stats. Originally, users could request to do a Faerie Quest but because people abused the privilege they were changed into random events on October 2nd, 2000.
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.  


==Colour==
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.

Faerie is also one of the many [[colour]]s that users can paint their [[Neopet|Neopets]] and [[Petpet|Petpets]].  Faerie pets are know for their vibrant colours and beautiful faerie-like wings.  The Faerie colour for Neopets was released on January 16, 2001, and the Faerie colour for Petpets was released on November 7, 2001.
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==
==Trivia==
*Long ago, at the beginning of the site, the faeries didn't have faces. In later years, they were revamped and given the forms they have now.
*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.
