Neopian Moms I Would Bake a Pie With


by m_hero18

--------

To all the moms, grandmas, aunties, Pet moms, Neopet moms, mom-to-Be’s, and mother figures, we appreciate everything that you do. Across Neopia, there are many maternal figures. Some stern, some sweet, but all deserving of a delicious pie and a big thank you. Here’s a tribute to some of the most iconic moms (and mom-like legends) in Neopia, and why I would absolutely want to bake a pie with them! Nothing says love and gratitude like fresh-baked goodness, messy countertops, and burnt crusts!

      Rohane’s Mother (Neoquest II)

     You will recognize her from the beginning of Neoquest II in the village of Trestin. You start off playing as Rohane in the game, but your mother is always there in the town, ready to welcome you home and heal you completely to full health. You’ll find yourself re-visiting her a lot on your journey!

      Why I’d bake a pie with her: She’s the perfect example of “nowhere like home!” She helps heal Rohane back to full health, her pies must be full of love and nourishment. And not to mention, Rohane probably takes so much home cooking with him on his journey throughout Neoquest! Have to love some “gaming food.”

     Reina’s Mom and Grandma (Advent Calendar)

     Most of you probably know Reina the Aisha, as she helps organize one of the best events of the year: the Advent Calendar on Terror Mountain! However, did you know that it was Reina’s grandmother who ran the Advent Calendar during 2020 and 2021? And all before 2020, it was Reina’s mother! So, we have to thank both of them for teaching Reina the ways for us to continue enjoying the festivities.

          Why I’d bake a pie with either of them: Nothing like pie during the holidays! Reina’s grandmother’s pie recipe is probably amazing and has secret ingredients, passed down through word of mouth to Reina’s mother. And she probably put her own delicious spin on it! Their family house must smell like cinnamon, gingerbread, and peppermint! Their pies are likely filled with so much warmth for the cold season.

     Granny Hopbobbin (Charity Corner)

     Arguably the most beloved grandma in all of Neopia! Granny Hopbobbin hosts the Charity Corner event, one of the most generous times of the year. All of Neopia is grateful for the giving and donations, and the donors are equally as happy with the tokens of appreciation (prizes!).

          Why I’d bake a pie with her: Granny Hopbobbin’s pies are filled with next-level generosity and baked with hands belonging to a huge heart. Each bite will probably bring joy and empathy. Her pies would convince me to give everything away to those in need!

          Weltrude Also Known as Mother Bruce (Petpet Park)

     Weltrude is head of the Petpet Protection League in Petpet Park. She takes care of all the poor little petpets. But you know what else? She is also the commander of a network of secret agents that go out on secret missions to recover petpets coming from an alternate universe. A double life, isn’t that wild?!

          Why I’d bake a pie with her: Weltrude is both tough and a softie. She cares for the petpets with all her heart, but is a commander as well. Her pies are baked with precision and exact measurements, but still filled with love. I would feel proud and empowered to taste her pie.

          Alice (Mother of Bruno, Reginald, and Sophie)

     A sad story, the Tale of Woe and the curse that fell upon Neovia and this family. Alice raised three amazing children, and they became the heroes who helped cure the curse and free the residents of Neovia.

      Why I’d bake a pie with her: When you experience challenges throughout life, you learn many lessons and can put that energy into baking a pie. Alice raised three beautiful, smart children, so her pie-baking hands are filled with motherly love. Her pies probably taste of strength and endurance.

      The Soup Faerie (Soup Kitchen)

     While she may not be a mom, she definitely embodies the nurturing and warm nature of mothers. The most selfless and kindest faerie there is, she runs the Soup Kitchen, feeding anyone who’s been broke or hungry.

          Why I’d bake a pie with her: Her soups are delicious, I can only imagine how her pies taste! Filled with kindness and selflessness, baked with a pure heart, and sourced from generosity, her pies are probably amazing! I bet she also knows how to make a huge pie that could serve hundreds at one time!

          Crumpetmonger (The Crumpetmonger Shop in Neovia)

     While we don’t know if she’s an actual mother, we know she is a chef! She makes scones, pies, and other baked goods and sells them in her shop in Neovia. Cream puffs, bundt cakes, fruit tarts, you name it, she bakes it!

      Why I’d bake a pie with her: She is a literal baker, enough said! Have you seen the items she sells in her shops? She makes pies for a living! Coconut custard pie, chunky potato pie, Negg pie,

     spinach pie… Yes, some of them sound questionable, but wait until you try them! They are delicious!

      Rosie (Neggtacular Springtime Celebration)

     Rosie is the chippy Grarrl who hosted the Neggtacular Springtime Celebration in 2009! It’s now known as the Festival of Neggs. She gave out many Neggs and gifts during the celebration and it was a great event to enjoy the springtime.

      Why I’d bake a pie with her: She loves hosting parties! And she loves Neggs! She probably makes an amazing Negg pie, accompanied with tea. She would probably turn the pie-baking into an entire community event for all of Neopia to celebrate!

      Queen Fyora

     Let’s be honest, Queen Fyora is the mother of everyone. All Neopians and all Faeries know who she is. She maintains balance, is protective, kind, strong, magical, wise, nurturing and a leader. She is literally a Queen. The Queen. And embodies all things that is mom.

      Why I’d bake a pie with her: Who wouldn’t want a chance to bake a pie with The Queen herself? Her pies are probably filled with magic and love and would change my life.

      Moms come in all forms, from faerie queens to leaders to bakers to event planners. Their love is shown in a million ways, from warm soups to second chances to healing advice. And of course, in food and baked goods like pie. Remember to say thank you to all the mother figures that have made an impact in your life, whether big or small. Whether it’s a special holiday or just every single day, show them you are grateful! And please, pass the pie. :)
