Have you ever heard of the play 'Les Miserable'? *sings to the melody of 'There is a Castle on a Cloud'* There is a shoyru on a cloud...*continues improvising words as you decide to read on*

So what does a great Shoyru like me enjoy? I love reading, fire_water_faeries buys me lots of great books and I am getting really smart. Currently my intelligence is 31 - cool huh? I love to read books about shoyrus like myself, and flying (my favorite thing to do!)

This is MY bible! Shoyru songs! It's a great book for shoyru music lovers *sings the lyrics to La la la la bing bong* I think faeries are the most facsinating creatures in Neopia! The Neopian Times! A valuable source of information.

These are some of my all time favorite books. I also read the Neopian Times regularly. More precisely, the comics. I'm a HUGE fan of the 'Sheep of Doom.' Go Moo!

Meep! I have come to devour your soul!
0.0 I think Moo got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning...

I am only 60670 hours old so I still have a lot to learn. Every weekend I go to watch the Tournaments at the Neopian Battledome. There are some fantastic fights that take place there, but I don't think I'll ever battle myself. That's something my oldest sister, Icee like to do.

Faerieland! It's so soft and...cloudy!
During the week I usually travel all over Neopia. I want to broaden my horizons, so I can become even smarter! My favorite place in Neopia has to be Faerieland. It's a greatplace to fly, and that's where all the nice faeries live.
Jhudora lives there too, but I've tried to avoid her cloud ever since the time I accidently fell through her roof during flying practice (She didn't say much, but I'm pretty sure she was mad since I had to dodge a few spells in my hurry to leave.. but the water faerie at the Healing Springs fixed my tail back on in the end!)
Yipes! *Azula grabs her tail* That faerie gives me the creeps...
~<>~About Me~<>~
So you want to know about little old me? Well, there's nothing much to say if you want a life story. I'm the youngest of a family of three pets. I was created in the create-a-pet center by my owner, I wasn't orphaned at birth, thrown in the pound, or anything like that.(and that excludes me being half scorchio of something) Sorry to disapoint you, but I'm not gonna lie and give you some sob story.

These are my stats(Just for refrence, since I don't battle):

  • Level - 5
  • Strength - 16
  • Speed - 12
  • Defence - 12
  • Hit Points - 10/10

It's me, in all me glory!!

This is me. Do you like my necklace? My owner gave it to me as a gift when I first started flying. It has wings!!

Yay!

~*~*~Family & Friends~*~*~

Yes, I do have a social life, despite having my head in the clouds most of the time. And a large family, which I am proud to be part of. Even if they are a little wierd, but who's family isn't? Anyway.. this is my photo album.

My oldest sis, Icee! This is my oldest sister, IceeGurl13, or Icee for short. She'd be pretty level-headed, if it weren't for her and her zafara friend going on adventures all the time...*eye roll* You wouldn't believe some of the stories they come up with!
My, um, second oldest sis, Sweetpea! And this is my other sister, Sweetpea424. She prefers to be called Sweetpea. Sweetpea is... wierd, to put it in one word. Sorta the oddball of the family. Underneath that cute scarf and hat is a mystery wrapped in an enigma... and she creeps me out sometimes...
My petpet!!! And this is my bestest petpet in the whole wide world *drumroll* Icicle! Yes, I know she's just a snowman, but she really is active and quite alive. Isn't that right Icicle? ...Icicle? ICICLE!!

*drip*

Whew... thought I lost you there for a sec...

My buddy Dark! And this is my closest friend, Dark. He's a great guy, with the exception of his feathery wings... I wonder how he got them? Still, he's a good friend, and he's given me much needed flying tips.
Sky, a great friend! This is another good friend. His name is Sky. Funnily enough, he seems to normally argue with girls. (which is not good, cuz he is a strong fighter) We never fight though, so I guess our friendship was ment to be!
Xiao, a female Zaffy! This is Xiao. She's very nice, but she needs to believe in herself more. She thinks she's just another Angel zafara in the crowd, but she's not. She can speak japanese, that's different! In fact, it makes it difficult to talk to her at times!
Ty! Hey, why are all my shoyru buddies guys? This is Xiao's brother, Ty. He helped me out with my landing skills. I really like him, he's a great guy! He told me about this game called Blizt, I hope he shows me how to play sometime, it sounds like fun!
My slightly nutty buddy, Kura! This is my newest friend, Kura! Kura is.. erm.. hyper to an extreme. And when I say hyper, I mean HYPER! hyper. But she's a lot of fun, she brings out the kooky side in me!
~<>~The Hall of Shoyrudom!~<>~
As you have noticed by this point, I am a shoyru(if you haven't realized this by now, I suggest you check you have your eyes checked). Shoyrus are fair creatures, proud to be one of the few species of Neopia with the ability to soar through the air.

I've always been a shoyru myself, (What would happen if wasn't?! *looks at wings and faints*) so I've always had an intrest for my own kind. In respect to shoyrus everywhere, I have dedicated a chunk of my site to my winged brethren.

The Many Faces of Shoyru
Shoyrus are one of the first species to come to Neopia.(take that ixis!) So naturally, we come in a variety of colors. Below I've listed all the 'faces' a shoyru can have. Roll your mouse over each picture to find out more about them!
The blue shoyru is one of the create-a-pet options. This is what I was born as too! The red shoyru is another create-a-pet option, a very common color The yellow shoyru is another sunny create-a-pet option The green shoyru is the final create-a-pet option. These are the colors everyone must start out with The silver shoyru, my favorite! YAY SILVER SHOYRU! The gold shoyru, another metallic color.. I still like silver best!^^ The striped shoyru has a very cute look. Next to silver, it's my fave shoyru shade! The baby shoyru. Aww, look at da widdle baby shoywu! The rainbow shoyru, a very good decision if your favorite color changes often! The purple shoyru. A royal color The white shoyru. Not a good choice if you live in an avalance zone The shadow shoyru is a very stealthy choice The pink shoyru. Not advised for male pets! The checkered shoyru, not very good at hide and seek now, are you? The disco shoyru. Peace, baby! The desert shoyru. Surprisingly, one of the only colors that comes with clothes is named after the hottest place on Neopia! The ghost shoyru. 0o0o, creeepy! Ugg, tyrannia ugga-ug(translation: The tyrannian shoyru)
Shoyru Literature
Shoyrus are the topic of many popular books, as you may know. Here, I've listed a few books with a shoyru theme for reference. Why shoyru books, and not weapons, food, or trading cards, you ask? Because I love books! ^^ But if I can find the time I will add everything else in.

Roll over the books for their names, and my own personal critique!

Shoyru Mysteries. Not one, not two, but three shoyru themed mysteries in one book! Angry Shoyru Friends. Ok, so it sort of gives shoyrus a bad image, it's still a good read! The Golden Shoyru Book. It may be ancient, but hey, how many flying books have you seen? Baby Shoyru Book. It's a bit babyish for me, but it's great for young readers! Shoyru Songs. This book has the lyrics and music to all the shoyru hits, including Yes-Boy-Ice-Cream! The Sad Shoyru. A heart-wrenching story about a shoyru's struggle through the pound. Shoyru Heroes. A complete history of the great impact shoyrus have had on Neopia. A must read! Shoyru Surprise. You'll never guess the surprise ending untill you read it! Caring For Shoyrus. This should be read by all shoyru owners, it makes a lot of good points! The Beautiful Shoyru. This story is about a mutant shoyru, who wishes others could see the beauty inside, rather than his hideous appearence
~=~Flying Lesson!~=~
After all the hardship I went through learning to fly on my own, (until I got some help from friends that is) I want to help another young shoyru learn to soar amung the clouds. So I've taken all the info I've learned and turned it into a little mini lesson on the basics of flying. Also good for pets who've just been painted faerie! (or christmas, for all you angel zaffies!)

Takeoff
  • Make sure when you first start out, you have a flat stretch of land to take off of.
  • Run down the stretch, flapping your wings repeatedly downward to gain lift. (try to run in the direction the wind is blowing)
  • When you have gained enough momentum, leap. You should now be soaring a few feet above the ground.
  • Continue beating downward with your wings until you have proper clearance.
  • When you are more experienced, you will be able to take flight by simply jumping to catch an updraft. But wait until your more experienced (otherwise you'll just look silly)

One day, you'll be able to lift off by jumping. But not yet!

Maintaining Flight
  • While in the air, you may want to change direction, altitude, stop, hover, or rest.
  • To turn, simply keep one wing imobile while flapping the other. You will then turn in the direction of the imobile wing.
  • To go upward, simply beat your wings downward. If you do not need to go up vertically, I suggest you go up at an angle, to use less energy.

While this does look cool, I don't think you should night fly at first.
  • To go downward, tilt your wings to let air out from under them. The more air you let out, the faster you plummet! If you point yourself in a downward angle, it is called a dive. (you'll need this later, when you land!)
  • To stop, flare your wings. Then, to hover, you beat your wings downward, but with intervals between each beat so you stay at the same altitude.
  • If you need a rest, (beating your wings the whole flight is VERY tiring!) glide for a while by stiffening your wings. You may also save energy going upward by catching a thermal. (a thermal is a warm pillar of air) A thermal will lift you upward with ease.
Landing (please be aware this is the one topic I haven't mastered! Do not rely solely off my directions, they might not be right!)
  • When landing (like taking off) You should have a flat stretch of land. Also, try to keep at least ten feet above the ground, and not much more than 20 feet.
  • Using the dive technique in the Maintaining Flight section, go into a fairly steep dive toward a spot on the ground.

Dive! Dive!

  • A few feet before you hit the ground, flare your wings and push your feet foward (I know it seems scary, but it works!) Do not go to fast, or you will damage your wings. But don't go too slow, or you'll end up face flat on the ground! (remember; dirt is not your friend! It sure doesn't taste good..)
  • When you reach the ground, touch down with your feet. Make sure your feet are firmly planted, because most likely your momentum will try to carry you to the ground. (into, once again, dirt)
  • Congrats! You've now conquered the hardest part of flying! Soar away!
Other Tips
Aww, don't give up!
  • First of all, and most importantly: DO NOT GIVE UP! I gaurentee you will not get most of this the first try, so don't expect to. Keep at it, and soon you'll be learning to do tricks like barrel rolls!
  • When you first start flying, I heavily suggest practicing somewhere like faerieland, where everything is nice and soft. (this is a must if you bruise easily!)
  • When you'r actually in the air, avoid all obstacles. This includes flocks of birds, walls, and most of all, clouds. NEVER try to go through a cloud, you'll be temporairily blinded!

    I hope by writing this, I not only help myself, (getting this down somewhere I can read it will make things easier for me, and I can always add to it) but I hope I also help other ameture flyers. Happy soaring! :)

~<>~My Diary~<>~

No peeking!
This is my diary... erm.. actually, the picture above is my private diary, this section is sort of a public log of my life, neopian events, and things updated on my page. I'll try to keep this section updated, but if it isn't, it's my lazy owner's fault! *kicks fire_water_faeries*
7th Day of Eating

My 1st entry! Yay! *throws a party* Ahem! Now then, I have a few things to mention. I'd would first like to congradulate Eclipse, the latest winner of Azula's Silver Shoyru Award. fire_water_faeries has also been very busy today with 2 custom adoptables for BeanDipSafari and Amael_Legolas. Also, I recently changed the music on the page to a theme from Kingdom Hearts. Yay Kingdom Hearts!

8th Day of Eating

A lot of stuff happening today too. Mainly because my owner's home sick, so she's got nothing better to do then to update. Anyway, Congrats to Drake, today's winner of Azula's Silver Shoyru Award! I've also won a new award! Thanks Elle! And lastly, I'm adding more books and colors to the shoyru section. Whew, what a day! :)

11th Day of Eating

Wh00t! Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets comes out today! *does a little jig* Heh, my owner loves the books, she got me hooked too. Anyway, I'm proud to announce the shoyru books are all listed now! Also, there is a new custom for Miranda, who made one of me in return! It's a plushie!! *squeezes it*

14th Day of Eating

There's a cute new custom of a shoyru named Kelariea! I adjusted the site today too. I put all the adoptables (customs too) into it's own blog. That section was taking up waaay too much space! So it's a bit simpler for others to scroll though the site now. And speaking of adoptables, I have a few more in the works! They'll be here by the end of the week. (the plush shoy is very cute! ^^)

16th Day of Eating

Woohoo! fire_water_faeries is officially on her spring vacation, so those new adoptables are coming! Also, there is a new custom for SimontheDragon, who is making a new custom of me in return. Simon is also today's winner of the Silver Shoyru Award! Congrats! I've also been thinking about tinkering with the layout.. but I'm not certain!

17th Day of Eating

The promised adoptables are finally here! The additions are baby, ghost, mutant, pink, plushie, white, and yellow. But there are still colors to go! I also put the shoys into alphabetical order to make things a bit more orderly. Enjoy! ^^

22nd Day of Eating

Grr, it's rainy out today.. I hate rainy days, f_w_f doesn't let me fly in the rain. Anyway, I've been quite busy. Firstly, Lighthearted is today's Silver Shoyru Award winner. Congrats! And more importantly, I hinted at a change in the layout last week. Well, I've decided to go ahead with it! It might take a while for me to work out the kinks, however, so please mind the falling objects.

.:.:Shoyru Adoptables!!:.:.

Yup, now you can have your own shoyru adoptables to have and to hold! I'm no artist, but my owner is. She went and drew up these cute little things for my page, so she would really appriciate feedback! Just neomail fire_water_faeries any old time!

And yes, I know not ALL the shoyru colors are here, but my owner still needs to draw the more difficult ones, and we had some technical difficulties... *points to her owner taking a hammer to her computer*

Oh yeah, I have it so you can personalize the adoptables! When you copy the link and paste it in your own shoyru's page (or lookup, shop, ect) add you pet's name or nickname where it says NAME. (duh) This way, your image will have a rollover that says 'Hi, my name is (insert name here)!' I've put witty remarks on the examples on this page. You are free to use them instead of the name thing, but you could probably make up much better puns. :)

If you've been reading this long and haven't run off to get your adoptable, your patience is about to pay off! My owner has decided to welcome customs, so if your a special shoyru, and you ask politly, my owner will gladly make you a custom adoptable! (if she's not in a bad mood, that is. But hey, you can take the risk, right?)

IMPORTANT!!!

Never, ever:

  • Edit these adoptables
  • Erase fire_water_faerie's signature
  • Enter these into the beauty contest
  • Erase the link back to this page
  • Or claim these as your own in any other way
In short.. NO STICKY PAWS!!
I'm a baby, gotta love me!

I'm blue, da da dee da da di..

I'm sorry, does my color blind you? Peace out!

I'm on FIRE, baby!

Boo! Did I scare you?

I'm an irish shoyru, I am! Luck o' the Irish!

I have a heart of gold! ..Literally!

I know, I scare myself too sometimes..

I'm a boy! ..Why are you looking at me like that?

I'm so cute and cuddly, despite all the patches!

NO, for the last time, I'm NOT Barney!

No, there's no pot of gold tied to my tail, get over it!

I'm red hot!

I'm quite the shady shoyru..

Ha! Who said first place is best? Give me silver any day!

*sniffle* I think I'm coming down with something, and by the looks of it, it can't be good!

One day, I shall be a star! But for now, I'll settle for being an assortment of stars!

And they say stripes are a fashion no-no. I'm downright cute!

Frosty the snow-shoyru, was just a shoyru painted white, but the children say he could laugh and play.. you know the song!

I'm bright as a sun!

Customs:
Please do not take these if they are not yours! If it so happens that one of the customs here looks just like your shoyru, just neomail me and tell me, so I don't report you for stealing.
I hope you know who this is by now ;)
This is my dear friend Dark. Like his angel wings?
This is my buddy Ty. He's holding a blitz ball, it's his favorite sport!
It's Kura! And she's holding one of her favorite things, CHEESE!!
This is a custom specially made for Safari, a cool shoyru who's part pteri!

The little shoyru is FLYING! This one's really funny! Oo, what a pwetty butterfly! This has to be the cutest adoptable of my collection! I know it's not a silver shoyru, but isn't it the cutest widdle baby shoy ever? -blocked-It looks like it's deep in thought! This one's funny! It looks like me when I'm with Kura! Heehee, this one has an innocent look on it's face! Peace! ^^ Isn't this plush cute? I know it isn't a shoy, but I couldn't help myself, just look at it!

~<>~FAQ~<>~

Ok, so I haven't really got much in the way of fan mail yet, (besides entrees for my award) but the following is a list of questions my owner could answer, or would expect in fan mail. (when we get it, that is.. *waits at neomail box*)

What does 'FAQ' mean?

Heh, I know that's not about the site, but someone may not know this. It meansFrequently Asked Questions.'

Would you PLEASE make my pet/guild/userlookup page?

While I observe the flattery, no. It took me forever to get this page (and my userlookup) together, and isn't just one set design. Both will always be works in progress.

Can my pet date yours?

Wow, you must watch 'Married by America.' It doesn't work that way for Azula, she would prefer to get to know a pet first. Yes, she is single, but that doesn't mean free-for-all!

What program did you use to make your graphics?

Well, it's a process with me. I prefer to hand-draw pics first, then a take a picture of them with a digital camera, (so sue me, I don't have a scanner) then redefine them on the editing program that came with the camera. Or I just throw stuff together on paint for quick jobs.

Can you give me HTML help?

I take this question into deepest reguard, for it's one I still have to ask myself once in a while! I would be glad to try and help you, but I could also point you to sites that are made specially for the purpose. If you are looking to spiff up a page, I suggest csshelp's page. Don't forget, the neopets team has a reliable guide for begginers in the help section.

For now, those are just a few questions. I will tink up more eventually, when I stop being so lazy!

~<>~AWARDS!!!~<>~ Yay!! I now have physical proof my page is likable! Behold my awards!!

Yay! My very first award! It's so pwetty..and it's even got my name on it! My 2nd award! Thanx Rika, it's adorable! thanks stripes for this awsome award! Ooo, what a cute award! Thanks Shrentil! -blocked- WOW!! IT'S SILVER!! AND SPARKLY!! AND IT HAS MY NAME ON IT!! Wow! Look at this cool medallion, it's got my name and everything! This award goes to a very cute page!

~#~Azula's Silver Shoyru Award ~#~
This is my award! No sticky paws, it just an example!

  • If you want to, you can plead your case and tell me why you should win my award
  • PRETTY PLEASE use proper grammer! If I can't understand what your saying (or your being very rude) I won't even reply (unless your really rude, in which case you will not like the reply you get back!)
  • Having a link to my site on the page never hurt! ;)
You can also win my award if I happen to find your site and like it so much I just can't help myself! But your best chance it to enter.. Do you like the trophey? It has wings!!!
