Quotes "For courage, bravery, and shivery of the highest measure, I bestow up Tormund of Merridel, and Roberta of Brightvale, the honour of defender of the realms." "Oh Xandra, I always feared this day would come."

Fyora, The Faerie Queen, is the ruler of Faerieland and the other faeries. She is one of the most powerful and benevolent beings in Neopia, shown to hold large quantities of seemingly limitless power.

She was originally known onsite as The Light Faerie, and managed The Tower of the Light Faerie. Nowadays, she manages the Hidden Tower, which sells some of the most powerful relics in the world. On occasion, she will grant very lucky Neopians with special quests, and, very rarely, summon few directly to Faerieland.

Among her many great deeds, she is renown for defeating The Darkest Faerie 1,000 years ago and imprisoning her in stone at the bottom of the ocean. Later in time, she would help break the spell set upon Altador, and bring it back to present Neopia.

Ruling over Faerieland for as long as anyone can remember, she has offered both her plentiful grace and wisdom to perhaps thousands of Neopians during her reign.

History

Fyora has made numerous appearances onsite, in various stories, plotlines and features. While anything preceding her days as a princess remain unknown, it's quite easy to assume that she's perhaps thousands of years old. Given her current lifespan, the fact that she was historically recorded to have defeated the Darkest Faerie in 1000 BN, and the time it must have taken for her to take on the role as Queen, it's quite clear that she has blessed Neopia with her presence for quite a few year, and perhaps many more to come.

The Faerie Princess & Inauguration

The onsite book, A New Day, reveals a bit of insight on Fyora's past. The book's description implies that it is a novelized version of her personal journal, telling the tale of her early days as a young Faerie Princess, up until her royal inauguration.

1,000 BN

It is recorded that in 1,000 BN, Fyora conquered the Darkest Faerie and imprisoned her at the bottom of the ocean using the magic of Jerdana's Orb.

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie

Main article: Neopets: The Darkest Faerie

During the events of Neopets: The Darkest Faerie, Fyora was visited by Roberta, who reported there was a dark evil afflicting the lands of Meridell. After sending Roberta away, Fyora was taken by surprise when she was confronted by The Darkest Faerie, and was captured. Later when Tormund and Roberta came to rescue her, The Darkest Faerie used her magic to make herself look like Fyora and stole Fyora's Rod. After they left to recover Jerdana's Orb, Fyora broke free of her bonds and fought with The Darkest Faerie again, only to be imprisoned within a glass bottle. At the end of the game, she was freed from the bottle and promised keep a close eye on the re-imprisoned Darkest Faerie.

The Faeries' Ruin

Main article: The Faeries' Ruin

During the Faerie Festival in Year 12, all the faeries, including Fyora, were turned to stone by Xandra, a former student of a Faerie academy. A group of various heroes, including characters such as Brynn, Hanso and King Altador set out to lift the curse from the Faeries. Xandra, then thought to be innocent, tagged along with the group and pretended to help along the way.

Once Xandra's secret was revealed, Hanso decided to sacrifice himself in order defeat her and remove the curse from the faeries. With this, he himself was turned to stone. For this deed, the recently restored Fyora reversed the curse on Hanso and thanked him for his fearless act.

As Fyora had been petrified in stone during the majority of the event, she and her fellow Faerie citizens were unable to use their magic to keep Faerieland afloat, causing it to crash to the surface. At the conclusion of the event, Fyora announced that she and the other citizens of Faerieland would work hard to restore it, with hopes of someday sending it back to the clouds where it belongs.

In a short epilogue released after the event, Fyora appointed Brynn captain of her guards, and gave Hanso the task of recovering dangerous faerie artefacts to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands again.

NeoQuest II

Around Neopia

Neopedia

Hasee Bounce

Fyora appears in the Neopedia article, Hasee Bounce. Here, Fyora is seen confronting Casandia after she accidentally dropped numerous Hasees off the then-floating Faerieland.

Landing in the ocean below, the Hasees were able to float to the safety of Mystery Island due to their high buoyancy. Unfortunately, upon their arrival, they began to eat all of the island's fruit (And in turn, created the game Hasee Bounce). Concerned, the Mystery Islanders approached Queen Fyora for help, to which she ordered Casandia to collect the Hasees and bring them elsewhere.

Hidden Tower

Main article: Hidden Tower

The Neopedia article, The Hidden Tower, tells the story of how Fyora's long-time maid, Celandra, found the seemingly "lost" Hidden Tower.

For this reason, it is assumed that Fyora had been aware of the tower all along, and Celandra simply came upon it, causing the Faerie Queen to open it up for business.
