Characters / Neopets

A character sheet for important Neopians (and there are a lot of them). The characters are sorted by their home unless they were introduced in or best known for their appearance in a plot or event. In that case they will be listed in the folder for their respective plot. If a character has appeared in multiple plots, their entry will be in the folder for the first one that they were in.

Hannah and the Ice Caves

Hannah

• Action Girl: She's an adventurer and explorer.
• Ascended Extra: She started off with her own Flash game and a two-part Neopedia article about her adventure, which were both high quality and more than most Neopets characters got, but nothing that implied there would be anything more to her. Then they threw her into a more serious plot...
• Badass Boast: At the beginning of the Ice Caves comic, she sings about her adventures in a tavern.
  They call me Hannah the brave, Hannah the quick / I'll get you the gems and be out in a tick / Pirates and monsters are no match for me / When they see Hannah coming, they all turn and flee!
• The Hero: Of Hannah and the Ice Caves.
• Fountain of Expies: Many later plot protagonists borrowed traits from her.

• Scars Are Forever: Even after Taelia removes its evil magic, Hannah is informed that the Mark of Ta-Kutep will remain with her forever.
• Wound That Will Not Heal: The Mark of Ta-Kutep, which seems to be slowly killing her. Taelia is able to heal her in the end, however.

Kanrik

The current leader of the Thieves Guild. He took over upon defeating the former leader, Galem Darkhand. He used to be a lover of Masila, though now it's been heavily hinted that he's in a relationship with Hannah.

• Gentleman Thief: He is this.

• Kubrick Stare: See the picture on the right? He doesn't really look like someone you want to let near your precious Faerie Queen Doll...
• Lovable Rogue: He can be very charming and charismatic.
• Manipulative Bastard: Initially. He tells Hannah a sob story about his sister being sick to convince her to lead him to a lost tomb, where the cure supposedly could be found. In reality, he was on a mission to retrieve an ancient coffin for Galem.
• Reformed, but Not Tamed: Although he helps Hannah, he continues his thieving ways and remains the leader of the Thieves' Guild. Seems old habits die hard.
• Thieves' Guild: He's the leader of Neopia's Thieves Guild.

Masila

A scheming Acara who was supposedly the lover of Galem, but her true feelings were for Kanrik. However, that didn't stop her from betraying him.

• Pimped-Out Cape: She has a fancy purple cloak that could possibly have magical powers.

Galem Darkhand

The former leader of the Thieves Guild. He led an attack on the Bori in the Ice Caves. Masila and Kanrik plotted his death, but when that failed, Galem attempted an alliance with the Bringer of Night, only to be betrayed by him as well. Galem lost a fight with Kanrik in the Ice Caves and it was heavily implied that he was killed.

• Blatant Burglar: Out of all the thieves, his is the outfit (complete with mask) that screams this the most.
• Cool Mask: He wears one.
• Killed Off for Real: It is assumed that Kanrik ended up killing him.
• No Honor Among Thieves: Lampshaded by the flavour text of his TCG card: "They say there is honour among thieves. There was, until HE arrived."

• Rugged Scar: He has three parallel scars on his mouth.

Armin

A small Bori who befriended Hannah.

• Badass Adorable

• Plucky Girl: She defies the king and leaves Maraqua to warn others about the visions she has.

Caylis

The sister of Isca, who was banished merely because the psychic visions she gets are about bad things happening.

• Bearer of Bad News: She has the ability to see bad things that will happen in the future through her nightmares, and is ostracized because of this.
• Blessed with Suck: She has psychic abilities, but can only foresee misfortune, which makes her very unpopular in comparison with her sister, who sees the exact opposite.
• Broken Bird: Punished for her negative Psychic Powers, which are beyond her control.
• But Now I Must Go: Because of her help, she is invited back to Maraqua at the end of the story. She declines, though, preferring to live alone.
• The Cassandra: No one in Maraqua wants to believe her prophecies, let alone hear them, which is why she was banished.
• Ice Queen: Considering the way she was treated by the Maraquans, who can blame her?
• Psychic Powers: Like her sister, she can see the future in her dreams, but only bad things.
• The Un-Favourite: So much so that she was made to leave Maraqua because of her abilities while her sister was praised for hers.

The Tale of Woe

Sophie the Swamp Witch.

She lived in isolation and wasn't reunited with her family for years afterward.
• But Now I Must Go: After curing Neovia, she tells her parents and siblings that as much as she loves them, she has decided to return to her shack in the woods, because the town just isn't home to her anymore.
• Crazy Cat Lady: Downplayed. She's female and owns several Meowclopses, which are sort of like cats.

• Gentle Giant: Since becoming a monster.

• Bookworm:

• Happily Married: To Edmund.
• House Wife: This is what she is.
• Proper Lady: Naturally, being from Neovia and all.

Lily

A beautiful young Neovian lady with whom Bruno falls in unrequited love. The fact that she already has an extremely possessive boyfriend is likely the main reason she doesn't return his affection.

• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She has blonde hair and is portrayed as sweet and kind. When her Crazy Jealous Guy boyfriend threatens Bruno, she tries to stop him (but fails).
• Proper Lady: As Neovian women usually are.
• Satellite Love Interest: She exists solely as the object of Bruno's affection. The plot is set in motion because of his belief that Women Prefer Strong Men.
• Small Role, Big Impact: It was through Bruno's efforts to impress her that their town ended up being cursed.

• Snake Oil Salesman: Although in Neopia, snake oil is referred to as Hissi oil, since that is the Neopet species closest to snakes.

Gilly

A young Usul girl who learns about the curse on Neovia and helps Bruno and Sophie to break it.

• Ascended Extra: Originally she was the two-dimensional protagonist of The Castle of Eliv Thade. Then she became one of the main characters in The Tale of Woe and her personality was developed.

Mayor Thumbert

The mayor of Neovia, who summoned the Spirit of Slumber to help free the town from the monstrous effects of Mr. Krawley's potion. When the curse was eventually lifted, he blamed Bruno for everything that happened and attacked he and Sophie. He hulked out and became the Final Boss of the plot.

• Green and Mean: Subverted as she has good intentions.

Journey to the Lost Isle

Roxton A. Colchester III

A dashing Lutari adventurer who wants to explore as much of Neopia as he can. He joined the group led by Professor Hugo Fairweather in searching for an island described in the journal of Mad Tongue Murphy. Later he and Clara Chatham discovered the city of Moltara.

• Adventurer Archaeologist
• Adventurer Outfit: He wears one.
• Badass Mustache: He's got one.
• Bold Explorer: His goal is to travel through all of Neopia.
• Continuity Nod: When Clara announces that they've reached the Boat Rental Stand, he says "I believe they prefer the term 'ship'." This is because Rourke was so insistent that others call the SS Primella a ship instead of a boat.
• Nice Hat

Lilian Fairweather

The daughter of Professor Fairweather, who found the tablet that helped translate Mad Tongue Murphy's journal.

• Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Roxton.
• Fiery Redhead: She has red hair and can be sassy toward Roxton.
• Hot Librarian: A bookish girl who is very attractive.
• Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter: Though her father isn't evil, he could easily be considered a mad scientist (and is thought of as such by others).

Professor Hugo Fairweather

An archeolinguist and expert of ancient lore who is determined to find an island mentioned in an old journal. He is mocked by his peers, who believe the island is nothing but fantasy.

• Absent-Minded Professor: Is he ever!
• All of the Other Reindeer: His search for the lost island causes him to be ridiculed by his peers, who believe it to be nonsense.
• Cloud Cuckoolander: He is seen as this by others, and they may be right... at least to some extent.
• Mad Scientist: Of the non-evil variety.
• Papa Wolf: He is very protective of his daughter, and is outraged when Captain Rourke suggests that they leave the island without waiting for she and Roxton to return.
• They Called Me Mad!: He says this when he finds the lost isle.

Scrap

An orphan boy who is found to have stowed away on the SS Primella. He ends up tagging along on the trip to the lost isle as a result.

• Defrosting Ice King: Initially he's grouchy and cynical, but he ends up having a growing soft spot for the orphaned Scrap.
• Grumpy Bear: He is bitter and pessimistic.
• Hates Being Touched:
  Roxton: Cheer up, old chap! Where's your sense of adventure?
  Rourke: You touch me again, and you'll find out.
• Jerkass: Very much one.
• Jerkass Has a Point: When the ship crashes on the lost isle, he is right about their first priority being to fix it. Otherwise they'd have no way to get home and be stuck on an uncharted island forever.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As shown by the grudging affection he has for Scrap.
• Lack of Empathy: He's ready to leave the lost isle without Lilian and Roxton, who haven't returned yet, and says as much to Lilian's father.
• Perpetual Frowner: The only time he cracks a smile is after Scrap saves his life.
• The Snark Knight: He's always snarky and critical of everyone around him.
• Surrounded by Idiots: He believes he is.
• They Call Me Mister Tibbs: Don't call him Cap, and definitely not Cappy.

Werther

• Hypercompetent Sidekick: To Hugo Fairweather.
• Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: When he does talk, it's hard for others to understand him.
  Commander Valka: In words we can understand, please.
• Suddenly Voiced: He has a cameo in The Return of Dr. Sloth where he actually talks, explaining what Kreludite is. This is lampshaded by Cylara, who says "Gee, you sure talk a lot."

The Cyodrake's Gaze Plot

Captain Tuan

• Benevolent Boss: Seems like a pretty reasonable leader to the Gaze sailors.
• The Captain: Of the Cyodrake's Gaze.
• Everything's Better with Llamas: He is a Gnorbu.
• Nice Hat: He wears a red hat with black spots.

Bonju

• The Atoner: He at least had the good graces to apologize to Hoban after the incident.
• Berserk Button: Do not insult his cooking.
• Butt-Monkey: Every time a user tries to use his cooking pot at Culinary Concoctions, it explodes in his face. A successful recipe has yet to be found.
• Depending on the Writer: Most of the time, his cooking is described as terrible, but in some panels of the Cyodrake's Gaze plot comic, the other crewmembers are shown eating it happily and with gusto. Maybe they were just really hungry that day?
• Disproportionate Retribution: Shoving Hoban overboard in the middle of a raging thunderstorm for insulting his cooking was a little extreme.
• Lethal Chef: The other crewmembers seem to think so, especially Hoban. He may not be entirely wrong, given Linae's side comment about a particularly bad anchovy casserole.
  • One of the prizes given out by the 2016 Advent Calendar was a bucket of unidentifiable green goo with the description "Well, someone had to eat Bonju's cooking, right?"
• Ultimate Job Security: Why is he still the Gaze's cook if nobody likes his cooking?

Hoban

• Berserk Button: Don't call him a "bad omen".
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He's aggressive and short-tempered, but is a competent ship's navigator, all things considered. He hand-wrote an entire map book by himself.
• Butt-Monkey: In two Advent Calendar animations, he gets accidentally thrown overboard by Captain Tuan and drenched in Bonju's cooking.
• Does Not Like Spam: Doesn't like Bonju's cooking.
  Item description of Hoban's Leftovers: It's pretty much full. He barely touched the meal, after all.
  Item description of Anger Management for Navigators (a book): Rule #1 - always eat the chef's meals, even if it tastes like cardboard.
• Eyes Always Shut: Averted. Most Aishas always have their eyes closed, but Hoban's are always open in the comics to give him a wider range of facial expressions.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: He doesn't seem to get along with the other crewmembers. He's first seen threatening to sail them into a storm during an argument, Linae thinks he's a bad omen because of the previous threat, Anshu is not happy that he won't make a detour to stop for medical supplies, Bonju shoves him overboard for insulting his cooking, and Kentari calls him a lazy bum (though not to his face). That said, all of the above happened during a thunderstorm where everyone was in a bad mood, so we haven't seen how they get along with him normally. And they did recruit the rest of Neopia to search for him when he went missing, and didn't give up until he was found.
• Grumpy Bear: His Neopedia article states that he "[enjoys] a constant state of disgruntlement".
• Jerkass: He seems to be rather grumpy and temperamental, easily getting into arguments.
• The Napoleon: He's fairly short, as well as short-tempered.
• Nice Hat: He wears a little cone-shaped green and brown hat with holes for his ears, which was distributed as a prize to players after the plot.
• Older Than They Look: According to his Neopedia article, he's thirty.
• Spare Body Parts: He's an Aisha and has a second pair of ears mounted on stalks, which incidentally would be very helpful in his job navigating the seas.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Unlike most of the other Gaze crewmembers, he did not reappear in Shenkuu following the plot and it is unknown what he is doing currently. He did reappear in the Neopets Puzzle Adventure video game and made a few appearances on Better Than You, so it's not like he vanished entirely.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: His hair is whitish-blue.

Anshu

• The Medic: The Gaze's medic, and sells medicine for players to purchase at his shop in Shenkuu.
• Non-Mammalian Hair: He's a Ruki, an insect-like Neopet, with a long white mustache and beard.

Linae

• Cats Are Mean: After the thunderstorm began, she was quick to accuse Hoban of having started it (to be fair, he did threaten to sail them into one earlier). However, she seems to be fairly amicable in all other appearances.
• Does Not Like Spam: She's not a fan of Bonju's cooking, either. "That anchovy casserole really did a number on my—"
• Panthera Awesome: She is a Kougra.
• Pink Means Feminine: She's the only female member of the Gaze and is a pink Kougra.

Shumi

• Flat Character / Living Prop: Does not get any characterization, doesn't do anything, and doesn't get to tell his version of the night of the thunderstorm.
• Number Two: Captain Tuan's first mate. That's all we know about him.
• Our Dragons Are Different: He is a Scorchio.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Like Hoban, he didn't reappear in Shenkuu following the plot.

Kentari

• Cool Helmet: He always wears a black one.
• Depending on the Artist: In the second chapter of the comic, some panels give him mitten hands and others give him hands with fingers.
• Master Swordsman: He is the Gaze's weaponmaster, and sells weapons at his shop in Shenkuu, Wonderous Weaponry.
• Our Dragons Are Different: He is a Shoyru.

Orrin

• Breakout Character: He starred in his own flash game, Revel Roundup.
• Out of Focus: Didn't get much attention in the plot, because he was locked in the storeroom during the thunderstorm and couldn't give evidence about Hoban's disappearance. He later got his own shop, selling foods in Shenkuu, and a game was released where players could play as him.

Atlas of the Ancients

Clara Chatham

A Wocky girl who works as the assistant to the Wise Gnorbu at the Lunar Temple in Shenkuu. She is originally from Brightvale, but moved to Shenkuu with her family. She teamed up with Roxton on the mission to save Neopia.

  "I'm not afraid of a little danger."
• Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Roxton.
• Damsel in Distress: Lampshaded when she says "I'm not just some helpless damsel you know."

• Jumped at the Call: She was eager to join Roxton and Jordie on their mission.
• Plucky Girl: She's determined to prove to Roxton that she is just as good of an adventurer as he is, if not better.

Jordie

The enthusiastic young sidekick of Roxton.

• All Asians Wear Conical Straw Hats: He wears one, and by his overall outfit it can easily be gathered that he hails from Shenkuu (the Neopian equivalent of ancient China). This would also make sense considering the origin of the character he's based on.
• Badass Adorable: He's a cute little Kougra, but tough enough to accompany Roxton on his adventures.
• Expy: Of Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
• Kid Sidekick: He is one to Roxton.

Mayor of Moltara

Cog

Igneot

The Wise Gnorbu

The Faeries' Ruin

• Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Brynn.
• The Charmer: He is easily able to sweet-talk others, especially Brynn.
• Comically Missing the Point: His first reaction to seeing the petrified faeries is disappointment because he can't steal their jewelry, which has also been turned to stone.

• Fiery Redhead: Stubborn, strong, and has red hair to match.
• Smooch of Victory: She gives Hanso one on the cheek in Chapter 17 of The Faerie's Ruin.

Xandra

• Beneath the Mask: Xandra in the "Faeries' Ruin" plot initially appears helpful, nerdy, and innocent with anger issues. She even wears glasses to heighten the effect (pictured here◊). However, she is revealed to be a Well-Intentioned Extremist with a completely "Machiavellian" and egomaniacal personality. She even makes Faerieland crash!◊
• Driven to Villainy: She tried to convince the faeries to get more involved with Neopia, but when that failed, she took more drastic measures.
• Fatal Flaw: Her short temper leads to her flying into such a rage over Hanso's insults that she doesn't realize his plan to store her magic and use it against her.
• The Glasses Come Off: She loses hers when things go bad and she reveals herself as the villain. Lampshaded by Hanso when he's taunting her, saying she might be able to aim better if she put them back on. And then again when they're offered as a prize, where the item description says that Xandra and the villain can't be the same person because one wears glasses and the other doesn't.
• Hoist by His Own Petard:
  Hanso: You know, it's ironic. Xandra was undone by the same artifact that started it all.
• A Pupil of Mine, Until He Turned to Evil: Queen Fyora's most promising pupil until she became a Well-Intentioned Extremist, with emphasis on extreme.
• Taken for Granite: Her most current state.
• Visionary Villain: Xandra, who believes the Faeries don't do enough good with their power and thinks everyone else is worse off for depending on them.
• Villainous Breakdown: Xandra had almost accomplished everything she set out to do. However, she begins to lose control after Hanso steals her artefact (for the second time).
• We Can Rule Together: She says this almost word for word.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Surprisingly, she actually has some valid points.

Death

The personification of death who menaced the Awakened at the end of the War of the Obelisk.

• Badass Adorable: He is a frighteningly powerful being in the form of a cherubic baby.
• Cupid's Arrow: In spite of being more a Grim Reaper than anything else, he looks just like Cupid.

• Your Worst Nightmare: He is this to the Awakened.

The Oracle

• Ambiguously Evil: The Oracle's true motives have never been made clear. She was introduced at the end of the War of the Obelisk as a seemingly benevolent ancient spirit. However, her actions are rather questionable. All she has done so far is to involve the six factions who originally fought for the right to open the Obelisk in perpetual battles simply for her amusement. She grants boons to the winning faction that last for one week, until it's time for yet another battle. It seems doubtful that a spirit who delights in watching frequent violence (and has multiple groups of powerful Neopians under her spell, constantly striving to gain her favour) could really mean well.
• The Omniscient: Apparently she has vast wisdom, but has not yet shared her knowledge.
• Seers: She can see the past and future.
