Introduced to [[Neopets (website)|Neopets]] through a [[Neopedia]] article on April 18, 2003, to date there is only one known Grey Faerie (originally named '''Baelia'''), although there may be more in hiding. As told in a the original Neopedia article, Baelia was stripped of her magical powers imprisoned by a [[Dark Faerie]] named [[Jennumara]]. She was freed by [[Tavi]], a mountain climber who tricked the lock of her cage. It is said she would regain her powers when she received a new name. | ||

On April 18, 2003 when | On April 18, 2003 when the Grey Faerie Neopedia was released, an image of a [[Bottled Faerie]] with the Grey Faerie inside was found on the servers, raising speculation about Baelia and a possible plot. This suspicion was raised when [[The Neopets Team]] revealed in [[Neopian Times]] [http://www.neopets.com/newnt/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=90 editorial #90] users would "be hearing more about grey faeries soon", hinting there were many more Grey Faeries. Since that time, no news about the Grey Faerie has been released, making users wonder if the plot has been abandoned or rescheduled. | ||
