sorry i just cannot get over how funny of a setup neopets made for themselves with all the faeries being women and sticking to that
its not that there just hasnt been a male faerie design. Tnt has advised for years in the editorial that male faeries do not exist as theyre an entirely female species. you cant even have a story posted in the neotimes with a male faerie because they do not exist in the world
Tumblr media
and youd think after that kind of decision theyd come up with some lore like 'faeries appear from their element or magic' but no, its never explained and it gets funnier
Some of the faeries reference having a mom and family members.

They also can be Not related to each other which is important too

Its not like theres only a few faeries either, not even a few hundred. Theyre a fairly common species on the planet. Theres in fact ~1,296,000 faeries just in their city alone (per the neopedia)
While faeries are immortal, they do start off younger. Its not stated if they start as children, though it makes sense that they would. Several parts of lore reference faeries going to school when theyre young and having a dedicated mentor faerie who helps them hone their magic.
So an easy assumption is well, theyre just having children together. Or creating them out of ✨magic✨ or something
and have to end this with my fav note of this confusing bit of neopets lore from jellyneo lol:
