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]].
 
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.
 
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.  
 
==Types==
The most common faeries are associated with one of six elements:

'''Faeries''' are magical female creatures which inhabit [[Neopia]], and added to [[Neopets]] on January 14, 2000. There are six types of common Faeries, known as Spell Faeries, as well as six Uber Faeries, and several special faeries.


==Spell Faerie==
There are also several unique faeries that do not simply belong to an elemental type:
The most basic type of faerie, referred to as '''Spell Faeries''', come in six variates, which correspond to one of the six magical elements of Neopia: there are [[Air Faerie]]s, [[Dark Faerie]]s, [[Earth Faerie]]s, [[Fire Faerie]]s, [[Light Faerie]]s, and [[Water Faerie]]s.


Faeries are sometimes captured by [[Balthazar]] or some other faerie hunter and imprisoned in a bottle. Bottled faeries act as [[item]]s and can be traded. If a [[Neopet]] releases one of these faeries, they may be granted a special faerie ability. There are six sets of abilities that can be granted, one for each type of spell faerie, and a pet must be of a high enough level to control the ability the faerie is trying to grant, or else the faerie will just fly away. Abilities are granted consume them.

==Uber Faeries==
Lastly, when a faerie losses her wings and her magical powers, she becomes a [[Grey Faerie]].
:''Main Article: [[Faerie Quest]]''


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]], 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 privelage they were changed into random events on October 2nd, 2000.
==Bottled Faeries==
{{main|Bottled Faerie}}
[[Image:Bottlefaerie fire.gif|right]]
Sometimes, an unfortunate faerie will be captured by [[Balthazar]] the bounty hunter and imprisoned in a small glass bottle.  These bottled faeries act as tradable [[item]]s on the [[Neopets]] website.   They are sold at [[Neopian Magic Shop|Kauvara's Magic Shop]] and are also sometimes given out as prizes for certain [[game]]s, such as the [[Alien Aisha Vending Machine]].  If a [[Neopet]] releases a faerie from its bottle prison, the newly freed faerie will grant blessings to the Neopet that freed it.  These blessings can then be used to purchase [[abilities]] at [http://www.neopets.com/dome/abilities.phtml Aethia's Ability Academy].


==Special Faeries==
==Faerie Quests==
In addition to the six types of elemental Spell Faerie and their Uber Faerie counterparts, there are also eleven other, unique faeries. These are:
:''Main Article: [[Faerie Quest]]''


*''Battle Faerie'', [[Aethia]]
Faeries sometimes give out [[quests]] to users via [[random events]].  During these quests, the requesting faerie will ask the user to find them a specific [[item]] without using the [[Shop Wizard]] or the [[Super Shop Wizard]].  If the user brings the faerie the requested item, the faerie will reward them for their hard work.  There are currently thirteen type of faeries that give out quests.  Each type of faerie requests a different kind of item and gives out a different reward.
*[[Dung Faerie]]  
*''Faerie Queen'', [[Fyora]]  
*[[Grey Faerie]]
*''Island Faerie'', [[Jhuidah]]
*[[Library Faerie]]
*[[Negg Faerie]]
*''Snow Faerie'', [[Taelia]]
*[[Soup Faerie]]
*[[Space Faerie]]
*[[Tooth Faerie]]


==Colour==
In addition to this, users can also obtain separate, on-demand quests from [[Jhudora's Bluff|Jhudora]], [[Illusen's Glade|Illusen]], and the [[Snow Faerie's Quest|Taelia]].  All quests obtained from these three faeries have strict time limits, but they also allow the use of the Shop Wizard.
The Faerie [[Paint Brush]] was released on January 16th, 2001. Although the Paint Brush is currently retired, users are still able to paint their pets with it. As of April 2007, the following 46 pets can be painted Faerie...

==Trivia==
*''...to be added...''
*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.
