9 Plot Characters Who Captured Our Hearts



Hannah: What can be said about her that hasn't been commented on before? Hannah is the quintessential Neopets #1 heroine. Having started her story as a former barmaid, this sharp-witted, insightful and adventurous Usul became a full-fledged adventurer who has faced multiple enemies and always emerged victorious. From pirate captains, to evil beings of the lost desert or monsters of Terror Mountain; she faces anything and is an adventurer par excellence who always has an eye on the next challenge. Finally, it is important to note that she is one of the most characteristically prominent characters on Neopets. Not only has she has been a key participant in at least 3 plots directly; she’s also the star of 4 games, 1 avatar, and most recently is featured as the face of the Quest Log, a feature that all Neopians play on a daily basis. Hannah is a lovable face who is adventurous, kind, fearless and an absolute star of her era, still capturing the hearts of players to this day. Lisha First seen within the Champions of Meridell plot, one of the most notable characters was the bespectacled and intelligent sister of Jeran the knight: a young Aisha named Lisha. Within the context of this story, she was reunited with her long lost brother by accidentally tumbling upon the very portal that transported him to the past, arriving along with her friends in the land of ancient Meridell just at the height of the Darigan War. Not long after her arrival, she soon found herself in the midst of the battle against Lord Kass in which her knowledge and strong deduction skills helped her to recognize that she was immune to the Court Dancer's spell, then freeing King Skarl from its control and allowing Meridell to obtain the reinforcements it desperately needed to turn the tides on the war. Her contribution was vital as she alone was able to dispel the influence and reveal the identity of the evil sorceress who kept Meridell and its forces immobilised under her influence.

The Initiate
The young red Techo looked up at the towering stone walls covered with hieroglyphs. Some he could make out as saying, “Order of King Coltzan I”, “Temple of King Coltzan I”, “Founder of Sakhmet” and “First High Cleric”. Over the walls, he could see the columns and rooftops of the buildings inside, silhouetted against the light of the sun and hazy in the desert heat.

It was a quiet night in the Haunted Woods. The moon was a crescent above the ancient tower and the light made the barren tree branches look like crackling black lightning. It was chilly but not yet cold. Nothing was falling from the sky-- not rain, snow, nor Spyders. Collab with darkpixie28
