awesome use of ersatz

* Ersatz. Adjective. Being a usually artificial and inferior substitute or imitation.

That's a bit mean, especially since according to the lore the Faerie Host is supposed to be different every time. So it should be interesting what Sabrena has to offer as host. Also, checking out the Faerie Quest bio for each Faerie has some interesting tidbits:

* For the first time Sabrena will be giving out Tooth Faerie Quests. Notable part of her bio: "Don't let her chipper personality and boundless kindness fool you though, she's more powerful than she lets on and her rewards for your quests more than reflect that!". Interesting, what powers is the Tooth Faerie hiding? Before you write it off, do remember what they did with Seshatia the Library Faerie. So what creative twist can they do with a Faerie who's theme is teeth? One power I imagined her having was, inspired by her battling Vocivus and Shades along with the other Faeries, she can create simulacrums of any creature she has a tooth from (so imagine her having collected teeth from the likes of the Snowager, Chiazialla, Turmaculus, Chasm Beast, etc.). Maybe they can extend the reach of her power to also involving bones.

* If you're wondering why Iridesia's rewards are still random her bio explains that, though it is her own magic granting the reward and not another Faerie, she's still getting used to her rainbow power which can copy the reward of the Elemental Faerie, Fountain Faerie, or Ozzy.

Iridesia uses they/them.

Lol at how hard they're pushing the Mall Cookies on the page.

No, you daft faerie, I'm not going to rush to the NC Mall to stock up on quest cookies, no matter how many links to the NC Mall you include in your blurbs.

I hope the quests start soon, I have a long working day and I won't be able to be stuck to Neopets

I received a Sabrena request today, that gave the same quest completion text as Fyora

@sapphire_sapphic: Whoops, sorry. This is their first Faerie Festival as Iridesia so gotta get used to that.

Seshatia just took over the role of Baelia the Grey Faerie as a Faerie without powers of her own, while Sabrena (cool name by the way ^^) took over Fyora's powers. At least in the context of Faerie Quests. It's not exactly creative, I think, it's just a re-skin/re-purpose. But it fits, of course.

@kenny:
... OH! I thought this was the start of the Faerie Festival, lol.

Okay, so just in general Sabrena is awarding Fyora's reward? Weird, I guess that's why for her bio they imply she has more power than we think. I guess maybe as a Faerie whose power is hygiene based she just so happens to be in the position where she can grant a major stat boost via making your Neopet more healthy (whereas Fyora's stat boosts came from just sheer magic enhancement). So in that context I guess it works.

@apophis324:
Seshatia has power, it just involves books. After doing a quick Google search I found the terms Libriomancer (from a 2012 fantasy novel where the protag has the power to reach into books and take objects from them) and Libromancer (a Yu-Gi-Oh! archtype based on high school kids gaining superpowered forms from comic books/novels). Not exactly what Seshatia can do which is, based on the book's subject, can cast a spell relating to that subject.

@pikachu315111: I don't think TNT thought it through as deeply as you put it, for that sounds much cooler

We are live people!!

As a Tooth Faerie/Sabrena super fan I am eating SO well lately. Gotta draw her to celebrate.
