My story begins in my childhood, back when I lived among the ruins of Maraqua with my parents. Back then, I didn't have wings... At least, that's not what they were at the time. I had a pair of what I thought were extra fins coming out of my back; they bore a resemblance to my pelvic (rear) fins. It was because of those fins that I had no friends. Everyone else thought of me as a freak and refused to talk to me, play with me, or even be around me. Except for those times when I was with my parents, I was alone. But I guess being alone isn't too bad, for it gave me time to think and to daydream.

Well, one day as I went out swimming, a group of other Maraquans my age came out to taunt me. I swam off by myself, trying to escape their presence and their insults, and after a long while of swimming and thinking I found myself alone in the open ocean. I was also found by an enormous Blue Jetsam, who gave chase, thinking I was its next meal. I then was rescued by a pair of Water faeries, who took me up above the water, where an unusually strong gust of wind caught me and carried me up above the clouds, right into Faerieland.

After I landed in the famous Rainbow Fountain, I was greeted by a small crowd of Water and Air faeries, who transformed the fins on my back into a pair of wings. They explained to me that I was one of their creations, a creature of the faeries. I was meant to be born with wings, but it was a mistake of the Air faeries that the development of my wings went awry. They apologized for everything, and I couldn't help but accept.

After a long series of events that helped my faerie guardians to realize that the powers they had blessed me with needed to be brought under control (including the loss of my parents, brought on by the deeds of a Dark faerie), I had to be put under the care of a human "owner". During this time I was given a pet of my own to care for, a Faerie Bluna that had the power to create portals that led to wherever I chose to be my home. My first few experiences with humans led me to believe that all humans were selfish, prejudiced thieves who wanted nothing more than material gain. I escaped from their bonds and tried to return to Faerieland, only to meet up with a dangerous adversary and to learn more about the troubled past of my ancestors. It had already turned out that others began to fear me because of how others like me in the past had laid waste to Maraqua by creating the giant whirlpool that destroyed it.

I was taken captive again, yet I did break out and used my powers to create a hurricane to destroy my enemy and his stronghold. However, my captor escaped, and I was caught up in my own storm. In the conflict, my Bluna became lost. I eventually washed up on a deserted beach, barely conscious and barely alive. In my hour of need I was found by a human, Heather, who was living in a small hut nearby. She took me in and restored my health, attempting to restore my well-being as well. Unlike those other humans who tried to own me, I accepted Heather as my human because she treated me like an equal, like a sister to her, and she in turn became the sister I never had. I was reunited with my pet Bluna soon after, and thus we settled in with Heather and became a real family.

~ Hobbies ~

I'm not really a member of any clubs, but I do enjoy playing games in my spare time. I try to stay away from video games, though. I enjoy games that mostly involve physical activity and mental stimulation.

My favorite game of all... Gormball! :D I first learned about it in the schoolyard, where I saw some classmates playing it during recess. I joined in and quickly learned that you're not SUPPOSED to let the ball burst on you... I actually enjoy getting drenched, especially on a hot day. ^^; As I learned the rules and played along with the others, I gradually became better and better. I know now that since I had been swimming most of my life, the muscles in my arms are well suited for throwing the ball long distances. And since I can fly, I can catch flying balls in midair, plus with my webbed hands I can catch them without causing them to burst.

This is one of my other favorite games, a card game called Pyramids. In this game, you pick cards off the table that are face-up and are either of an immediate higher or lower value of the face-up card at the top. If you can't find a card to pick up, then you have to draw the next card from the deck. The game ends when you run out of cards in the deck. So far I've cleared the pyramid of cards enough times to earn a silver trophy for doing so! :) After dinner each day, Heather and I practice playing Pyramids with a Pack of Cards. Aside from Pyramids, I'm also good at Cheat.

My daily agenda is mostly focused around learning and helping others. On weekdays I go to NeoSchool, then in the afternoon I am a messenger for the Water Faeries, helping them out with quest items and the like. On Saturday I play some games with Heather before I go to work as a ferry or courier for non-flying pets going to and from Faerieland. After lunch in Faerie City, I attend a lesson in healing spells taught by those same Water faeries who look out for me and my family. That's how I get paid every week, because after I graduate from NeoSchool I want to work at the Healing Springs as an assistant to the Water faeries. On Sunday, Heather and I take a trip somewhere and have a picnic.

On Saturday evenings, Heather takes me on a visit to a guild she's a member of. The guild is called Maraqua! and is made up of a whole lot of other humans and pets who like to get together and celebrate Maraqua and all of its inhabitants. While Heather meets up with the other humans, I go and hang out with all of their pets. We talk about devlopments in Neopia as well as what's going on in our own lives, then from time to time we go to the guild's gameroom and play some of the neat free games they have for members only. The members of Maraqua! are the friendliest people I've ever met, and I hope as you're reading this that you may wish to come and visit us one day.

As for the Battledome, I'm really not much of a fighter, to tell the truth, I don't like fighting in the least. But lately I have had to ward off some evil people trying to capture me and control me, so that they can use my powers against innocent people. So nowadays I'm taking some classes in defense, as well as how to master the art of using magical items in battle.

Necklace of the Water Faerie

This was given to me by one of the Water Faeries that watched over me when I was very young. In order to unleash its power, I have to focus my mind on its spiritual energy and recite a complicated mantra.

Here are my Battledome stats:

~ Level ~ 12	~ Strength ~ 19
~ Speed ~ 18	~ Defense ~ 17
~ Intelligence ~ 27	~ Health ~ 53/18

Heather is an artist and has been teaching me how to draw and write. I didn't originally wish to become a professional artist of my own; I just enjoyed painting as a form of therapy. However, Heather tells me that people get rewarded for publishing great works of art and literature. So, one of my goals on the side is to enter and win every single art-related competition there is in Neopia. I want to prove that just relying on your own talents can get you far in Neopia.

The Ugly Maraquan Krawk

1st Place in Krawks
24th Day of Storing, Y5

~~ Goals ~~
~~Krawk Transmogrification Potion~~
Maraquan Paint Brush
~~Bluna~~
~~Faerie Petpet Paint Brush~~

This is NOT a wishlist. I want to work for these items on my own. Anyone who donates me one of these items will have it sent right back to them, I'm serious...

~ Healing Items ~

Since I plan to work alongside the Water faeries at the Healing Springs, I felt it would be within my duty to make information available on Neopian diseases, their respective cures, and how much they cost. I've listed the disease names in alphabetical order and have researched the Shop Wizard to come up with a list of estimated prices for the cures. Costs may vary, depending on what epidemic has been going around lately.

The current epidemic is: NeoMites
(as of the 26th Day of Storing)

In any case, if your pet is sick OR has taken damage OR is starving, visit the Healing Springs in Faerieland once every 30 minutes (half an hour). Your pet(s) may be healed completely of a disease, healed of damage, healed of hunger, or you may get a healing potion, a Battledome healing elixir, or a Snowball (which you can still sell), all for free.

To learn about the symptoms of a disease, or to see a picture of the item used to cure a disease, visit the Hospital in Neopia Central. Cures can be purchased in the Pharmacy, the Trading Post, or in other people's shops, the latter of which you'll have to use the Shop Wizard to find the items you need.

~ How to Get a Krawk ~

A lot of people are asking... how did Heather get a Krawk? Let me explain...

There are several different methods to obtaining a Krawk. All of these methods are rather expensive, so if you REALLY want that Krawk then you're REALLY gonna have to play some games.

Here's method number ONE:
Make sure that you have 3 or less pets, this will not work if you have 4. Get a Krawk petpet item (known as "Krawk", found in the Tyrannian Petpet Shop for cheap, or in the Trading Post for 600,000-1,000,000 NP). Give the petpet to one of your pets, then give the Krawk a name that isn't used by a neopet yet (search the name you want in the search box on the yellow toolbar until you find a name that isn't used by a neopet). Now go HERE and let the Krawk eat some fungus. It will then turn into a Krawk neopet.

And here's method number TWO:
For this, you already need to own a pet with the name you want to give your Krawk. Now you need to obtain an item that will turn that pet into a Krawk. There are three different items you can use: a Krawk Transmogrification Potion (found in the Magic Shop for cheap, or on the Trading Post for 350,000-600,000 NP), a Krawk Morphing Potion (also found in the Magic Shop, or on the Trading Post for 500,000-800,000 NP), or a Magical (Red, Blue, Yellow, or Green) Krawk Plushie (found in the Toy Shop or on the Trading Post for at least 2,000,000 NP). Buy the item, then go to your Inventory and use the item on your pet. Your chosen pet will then metamorphose into a Krawk.

And last but not least, method number THREE:
This may or may not take a long time, but it all depends on chance. First, you must already have a pet that has the name you want to give your Krawk. Now, you must collect one of each piece of the Secret Laboratory map (same name, nine items, each one with a different image). You can find trading lots at the Trading Post that have all nine map pieces included, and the most you will find them for all together is 400,000 NP. Once you have collected all nine map pieces, get them all into your Inventory and then go HERE. Click the link that gives you the prize, and when you get to the secret laboratory, bookmark the page. You will have access to the well-sought-after Lab Ray, which can change your pet's color, species, gender, and stats, with a single change in each zap and a single zap per day. Of course, you only want to change your pet into a Krawk. There is a 3% chance that the Ray will change your pet's species, plus a 1 out of 46 chance that the pet's species will be turned into that of a Krawk. This method may be the least expensive out of all the ways to get a Krawk, but it may also be the most time-consuming.

~ My Family ~

I'll admit that I don't have a very large family, nor as large a family as most of my friends have, but I still cherish them like everyone should cherish theirs, for it's the only one I have.

I live with Heather (AKA uiscefinsceal, White Gryphon) in a small Neohome on Mystery Island. I'm her first and only pet. She doesn't particularily like the term "owner" so she prefers that I call her my "guardian" instead, she says it sounds less authoritarian that way. For a human who looks out for me (The healer heals others, but who heals the healer?) she sure is a lot less tidy than I am... But I don't mind the job of cleaning house. :) Heather loves art and music (by the way, she did ALL of the artwork on my petpage! ^^) and often takes time away from her busy schedule to help me with my own artistic and literary endeavours.

Serendipity is my pet Faerie Bluna. For all that time that I spent looking for a human to live with, my Bluna went nameless. I couldn't come up with a good, fitting name for her. Then after I met Heather and began living with her, she told me a story one night about a sea creature named Serendipity that guarded the ocean. I named my Bluna after the creature as a reminder of that story and how Serendipity found her purpose in life, and in that she found happiness. Being a Tyrannian petpet, Serendipity only speaks Tyrannian (The most I can get from her are grunts of "Morag gah!" and "Rarg!") but she doesn't need to be able to speak my language for her to be a wonderful friend and companion.

~ Best Friends ~

This is Osiris, a really stylish, really friendly Krawk I met one day while wandering the Neoboards. He believes that beauty comes from the inside, same as me. He's not an only child like I am, but his owner still spoils him... :)

Star comes from the ocean near where I live, where she practices speed swimming daily. She's working towards becoming a famous aquatic athlete. On weekdays after school I come and visit her, since her Angelpuss and my Bluna are friends and enjoy playing together.

Zero is another Krawk I've met who is super friendly. He has the unique ability to control the passage of night and day. He also has a somewhat fanatical owner who takes pleasure in pestering me every time I come to visit... :P

Naru, yet another krawkish friend of mine, spends most of her time with her snout in a book, studying for some upcoming test. Well, when she has her free time we get together and hang out at the... library. ^^; Aside from that, she's a very down-to-earth person.

And this is Onna. She lives with Heather's best friend. She was hard to get used to, but once we started finding something in common we also became best friends. She loves to talk and I love to listen. :) We don't see each other much, but sometimes we find time to get together and have ice cream and... well, talk.

-blocked-Neomail Heather to trade links! :)
