Xandra is a Speckled Xweetok scholar from the Haunted Woods in the plot The Faeries' Ruin. She was currently revealed as the plot's main antagonist, who was responsible for casting a petrification spell on King Altador, the Ogrin Master, Jazan, and most importantly, the Faeries in Faerieland.

Plot summary

The Faeries' Ruin

Main article: The Faeries' Ruin

Long ago, Xandra, a powerful witch and scholar, was brought up by the Faeries because of her magical potential. For years, she spent time studying with them in Faerieland. However, she wished they could be more involved in the affairs of Neopia using their great power. Her pleas fell on deaf ears. Believing that the Faeries may be too arrogant for their own good, she plotted to rid Neopia of what she saw as "winged tyrants".

Some time later, her plan was on the verge of fruition, until a thief named Hanso stole some of her belongings. Disguising herself as Hubrid Nox, she managed to buy back the item she needed, a mirror-like 'artefact', in time for the Faerie Festival. Using a petrification spell, she turned all of the Faeries into stone.

She pretended to help investigate the crisis when she was called upon by King Altador. During this time, she exposed Hanso as the one who stole some of her items, who in turn had sold one of them to "Nox". While the others were tracking down the real Nox, Xandra took him out while impersonating him.

Later, Xandra was captured by shadowy creatures, who would be later revealed to be side-effects of the petrification spell. She escaped from a cave with Hanso and Brynn, and together, they found a second artefact similar to the first one, hoping that it can reverse the spell.

Instead, the two artefacts only augmented her powers, and the spell she cast turned everyone (except for Hanso and Brynn) to stone. Without the Faeries' power, Faerieland crashed into the ground of Neopia. She finally shown her true colors and motives, and vowed to guide her future supporters to "rebuild" Neopia with her as its new ruler. She offered Hanso and Brynn a chance to join her, in which the latter flat-out refused while the former seemingly accepted.
