Five Clues about Illusen’s Mysterious Valentine

It’s Valentine’s Day, and there’s just one question on everyone’s mind: Who is Illusen’s Valentine? The apple of Neopia’s eye, the beautiful and kind Earth Faerie is beloved by all Neopets who cross paths with her. As a champion of the weak and the poor, Illusen works tirelessly help those in need. Her selfless actions have earned her a following that spans the entire world of Neopia. From the top of Terror Mountain to the depths of Maraqua, Neopians travel far and wide to visit her glade in Meridell, eager to help the benevolent faerie with her quests. Though she is beloved by all, by the weak and the strong, by paupers and kings, she shows favoritism toward no one; regardless of status, she treats everyone with the same gentle kindness and understanding. Everyone, except for one person. Her mysterious Valentine. Though she declines everyone else’s gifts, witnesses report that Illusen eagerly awaits the presents that will occasionally arrive on her doorstep with a magical flash of purple and green light.
