Edna
Edna is a Green Zafara who lives in a tower of the Haunted Woods. A witch in training, Edna is always trying to master new spells, spending most of her time in the tower mixing ingredients in her bubbling cauldron, to varying levels of success.
She wasn't originally a Zafara but a human-witch with a green face and long nose, akin to the witch in The Wizard of Oz. Her transformation into a Zafara occurred May 1, 2003, after "accidentally falling into a cauldron filled with one of her potions." This was because "there are no humans in Neopia".
She is featured in the game Edna's Shadow, where she and her shadow become separated accidentally in a magical experiment.

The Witch's Tower
|
The Witch's Tower is where Edna gives out her quests, to which a user is rewarded a Spooky Food. Unlike Faerie Quests, Edna needs all sorts of different items that range from very expensive to very cheap. However, there is a two hour time limit, and you can do only 10 quests per day.
If you are extremely lucky, she may even decide to award the user her avatar, released on October 28, 2003. Although rumoured to be randomly awarded, one of The Neopets Team's programmers claimed that this wasn't the case. While the criteria are still unknown, it seems that the quests requiring three items seem to be the most common ones that will reward the avatar.
