Kuvirea Gender: Female Age: Acts old, looks young, actual age in between Species: Faerie Kacheek Occupation: Ex accountant, some kind of stylist [I thought I'd be able to live a quiet life here, but no such luck. At least I'll always look young. Is trying to look nice such a crime?]

A refined and straight laced authority figure of the house, she tries to keep things in order and she tends to be very harsh and critical of everyone she runs into. Kuviera is not a natural faerie; she was zapped that way with the lab ray (but then, who is a natural?) Technically she is rather old but looks like a typical young whiner. Her attractive/long lasting looks are something she is grudgingly proud of but the lack of respect she gets for looking like a young lady ends in a lot of snippiness. As a longtime worker she finds lots of reasons to patronize her slacker siblings. Even now when she does not have to work, she keeps herself busy by trying to make the family fashionable on what means they can spare on that kind of thing.

Kieruu*: Hmm... She likes to make things look better, but things would really be better if we were all happier.

Misadori*: My sister! Aaah she hates it when I say that because [removed] but I'll keep calling her that anyway because that's what we are ;) I don't think she's really as angry and people say she is. She's happy sometimes. She doesn't want anyone tosee, but it's true, I swear!

3quest*: Hope you're doing well, but then you always are. I think I should thank you for everything you've done. You're a great artist and really nice… and you shouldn't care what other people think so much :)

Tohakken*: Goodness gracious princess, it sure is difficult being successful and admired isn't it? 'Oh, I'm rich and immortal and everyone loves me but my life is so terrible~' aren't you a poor baby?

Saohme*: You haven't changed too much, have you, little lady? Everything seems to be going just fine. Why don't you get away and enjoy yourself for a while? Okay, so it didn't work out last time....

Petpet:Wingy the Faerie Searex – Another labbed petpet. Wingy more or less reflects her owner's attitudes, fairly snooty and elegant.

Working notes: Kuve's on the small side, and young but serious looking. She mostly wears fancy dark colored dresses that are fun to draw. Also don't think of her as an old lady or her dress sense is kind of disturbing. Her name come from… from… I don't know. It doesn't mean anything either.

Story

Kuvirea was a short, blue girl living in a big white mansion with shiny floors and glass hanging from the ceilings. She had a temper to match her stature. She lived here with many other children including another kid she admired very much. She told his name to her family, he was Saohme. Although she liked to think of herself as a practical realist, Kuvirea had a fantastical mind of her own. She thought faeries were the sweetest thing and wanted to be one and live among them, among the clouds and birds and the other extraordinary creatures of Neopia's skies.

Sao would just smile at these whimsical dreams, because she was as far from a faerie as one could imagine. She was a mess most of the time and was drawn to dark colors, they made her seem mysterious. And naturally, she had nowhere near enough of the funds for a Faerie paint job. Do you know how much they used to cost?

Then the dreamy little girl and her friend caught an idea in their heads from the famous citizens of beautiful and expensive coloring. They would go on a journey to find their fortunes and get what they were looking for, and come back in a blaze of sparkles and glory. Where would they go? What would they do? Who knows, they were kids and an adventure seemed like the thing to do. And so off they set from their clean white mansion with sandwich bags and light camping gear into the big wonderful world. The two of them, young and blue and ready for a good time.

They walked among the fields of flowers around the mansion into the thick forest and immediately got lost. But that didn't matter, because they did not know where they were headed anyway. They emerged somewhere in the west where things were gloomy and dark. They didn't know where they were supposed to be, but knew that this wasn't the right place. Sao seemed to remain optimistic, but Kuvirea knew it was as far from fortune as they could have imagined. She was already on her way to becoming a better practical realist.

The sky grew darker as they stopped to rest for the first time since the start of their journey towards nothing in particular; it seemed that a storm might start. When Kuvirea pointed this out, Sao said nothing.

The misfortunes didn't stop there. They had happened upon an area of frequent accidents and horrors that their innocent little minds had no concept of. This area between forests was prime real estate for fringe groups that had a reason to hide. Such groups could only not hide from each other. Hence, violence and mayhem. This was no place for kids.

So it was no surprise that Kuvirea was woken up one night to find her friend gone. Walked out, forcibly removed, who knew. She was scared, but angry, but still too scared to do anything and fled to friendlier country. The dream was gone from then on. She became more of what she is today.

Upon reaching the nearest town in a misty, hilly country, she was ready to simply stop, maybe drop by the bottom of the valley. Nobody would care about a random tourist kid disappearing here, who would even want to listen to her problems? As it turns out, someone just as overlooked turned up at just the right time, ready to listen and cheer her back on her journey towards better things. This scruffy traveler joined her on her journey, directing her through this land and further, towards the sea. This was the one who would later call herself her 'sister'.

On the docks, the sisters encountered a dark shape with blue eyes and a sad tale to tell. Whether she believed it or not, Kuvirea took the opportunity to make up for her old lost 'brother' and took on this new one. Together, the three escaped to the sea, and to a bigger, safer city.

In the city's laboratory, Kuvirea, Misadori and Kieruu resolved to leave their old lives behind and take on new, normal lives, starting with a change of looks. Under the laboratory ray, Kuvirea became a faerie, something she had admired in the past. It was fantastic and a great stroke of luck, but now she did not care. There were other things to worry about.

And then Sao returned... and life remained normal? Who knows if it will stay that way.
