Introduction

I'm chasing the wind
To see where it's bringing me
Shouting in canyons
To hear what they sing to me

Running on mountain tops
Courage that never stops

Feeling alive
I am where I can breathe
And I'm where I can dream
This is where I am free

Welcome to Neo-Neopia


The alien Aisha's homeworld is a sandy, windy planet with many deep canyons. After visiting the world of Neopia for the first time, the aliens were surprised at all the different species living there - only Aishas lived on the alien's own planet.

And so, unknown to Neopia, the aliens began to make their world a copy of Neopia. They built robot versions of the pets in Neopia and they even named their planet "Neo-Neopia."


Sandy Dunes,
sandy barrens,
both exist in my world.
Here the towns,
the houses,
are all built like sand castles...

There are still a lot of differences between Neopia and the alien's Neo-Neopia. To your left you'll see a picture of Hoolphal shopping for a new scarf. Below are details from the picture that help show what life on Neo-Neopia is like.

A thatched roof? On a planet with a lot of sandstorms? Not really. This building is built around a very leafy, very sturdy tree; in the middle of the room you'll find the trunk. The poles and ropes aren't so much for holding up the ceiling as for keeping it from growing down into the shops.
This is a tyro space pilot (a beginner). Space explorers tend to wear brighter colors and metallic cloth. Space explorers are also more likely to have long hair, as they don't have to worry about getting sand in it. You can tell this girl is a beginner because her ears are flipped back and rigid in an effort to look professional, but it's actually very uncomfortable. Also, the fact that she's wearing fingerless gloves is a dead giveaway that she's never actually left the planet. Real space pilots don't need reflective gloves to signal others.
This Aisha either is about to go outside, or he's just gotten back. Note the longer sleeves and his scarf and goggles to keep sand out of his mouth and eyes.
Despite having fairly short attention spans, a lot of aliens, like Hoolphal, enjoy reading. They especially like heavy hardcover books which are less likely to blow away in the wind.
The aliens are characteristically reckless. This shop is situated on the edge of a cliff (which is dangerous in itself), and if this boy falls though the window he's sitting in, it'll be a while before he hits the ground. Strangely enough, the alien Aishas are very hard to injure. But since enough of them get stuck at the bottoms of canyons due to stupidity, some of the smarter aliens built robots to make sure no one jumps off a cliff.
A lot of buildings in Neo-Neopia are made of stone bricks. There's plenty of stone around, so it's a no-brainer. There is never much wood, though. The plants that grow on Neo-Neopia are very resilient; they have to be, in order to survive the sandstorms. The trees that can survive grow very slowly and never grow straight... they aren't very good for wood due to their warped wood.

Stories

Hoolphal's story is unfinished. The comics you see below aren't a part of the main story, but take place around the time of the story. I won't start drawing the real story until I have it completely written and partially thumbnailed. I don't want to run into writer's block!

The comics below are to introduce you to Hoolphal and show you a hint of her story.

And oh lookie! This Hoolphal's audition for Genre Wars. The prompt included introducing your character, showing a normal day in his or her life, and then interrupting said day with an invitation to "the Tournament":


Adoptable Aishas

Aisha wanderers. If you take one of these, make sure to keep it linked back to this page. You may edit these, as long as you still give me credit and keep the image linked to this page.

Only take a custom adoptable if it was made for your Aisha.

Sorry, I can't make adoptables anymore, since my art computer broke. I will make a new set when I get a new computer (around summer-time).

Artworks

By Bookkeeper

I, Bookkeeper (my username is seahorsepond) drew these pictures for Hoolphal.

By Others

My friends and some other awesome people created the following art for Hoolphal.

These are really great, thank you!

Fan art by a real-life friend who can't draw anthro (he plays neopets, but is under age 13 so I'm withholding his username for now). He tells me that the triangle on Hoolphal's forehead is actually a Triforce symbol so... I guess Hoolphal is the ultimate Aisha now. Art by Lilly! (A friend from my guild) She drew it when all the art I'd done of Hoolphal was a test sketch. I really love the friends I have in my guild! Erin is another friend from my guild. Not only is she an artist, she's also very patient. You see, I have a tendency to accept too many art trades and requests then take a long time catching up. I probably still owe her art. X.o (Update: I finished my half of our art trade! *pats self on the back*)
Tawnia drew this for me; she's an awesome person with such a cute art style! And anyone who draws in paint is really awesome, in my book. ^^ Thank you! This picture is by Ripsi, who used her telepathy to figure out that Hoolphal likes to read. Because she really does, though I hadn't written so on this page. A quick description of this art by another guild friend, Shevi: this is a freeze frame shot of her caught in a sudden sandstorm she didn't expect and right now she notices something behind her.
Have you ever heard of Toolate? Her Xweetoks and their adoptables are pretty popular. I've known her since we've traded adoptables and art and she's amazed me with her creativity each time. Giselle is a great artist and an excellent friend of mine. She usually draws quad, not that you can tell from this picture. It's really good, thank you! Did I mention that Giselle likes to draw a lot? Well, she does. XD
Tinkor is one of my very best friends. I just... don't know what to say about this picture. Thank you! Thank you, Deja! This picture looks great, and it was fun art trading with you. I met the fantastic artist Poogle on the beauty contest neoboard when she was bored and looking for pets to sketch and she drew this for me.
Sandy Dunes

by Paper

Sandy Dunes,
sandy barrens,
both exist in my world.
Here the towns,
the houses,
are all built like sand castles.

The wind blows,
making sand soar,
flying towards the towns,
and the barrens.
They collect in our clothes,
and in our hair.

The sand,
although harsh,
attacking our eyes,
our faces,
is also quite soft,
gently lapping at our feet.

The sea,
there is none,
but the sea of sand.
An endless dune,
of soft, brown grains,
collecting on this beautiful planet.

Yes, this amazing poem is by Paper, and it really needs none of my compliments because it speaks eloquently for itself. I quoted a portion of it in a different section of this page as well.
You've already seen one picture by Erin, it's one of the first three I ever recieved. Thanks again!

These screenshots are from the neoboards on a topic titled "I Love Alien Aishas!" I left the usernames left in with permission. Hehehe! Hoolphal has fans!

Wanna know more about the original Hoolphal? [click here]

IGNORE THE TYPO!!! It's supposed to saysense of taste"

This is one of my many userlookup themes. Does anyone remember the old messages about the great things neopets has to offer, like six-eared cats and a chicken-headed villain?

Anyone?

*Waits for show of hands*

*Lowers own hand reluctantly* Well, I don't remember it either.

Oooh! I've themed my computer after Hoolphal!

If you liked Hoolhal's page, would you please link back? If you'd like to link trade, just send me a neomail. Your pet doesn't need to be an Aisha for me to link to his or her page.

I'm Hoolphal

This is Phal, the original Hoolphal. She is designed by another user, Sai. This version of Hoolphal formed my adoration of alien Aishas long ago. After Sai put Phal up for adoption, Phal found her way here to a new look and history in the story that she helped inspire.
