Story of Jolly0
Copy and pasted from her pet page, posting here in case Neopets is discontinued. It’s written like an interview under the cut.
Thank you for taking the time to let me interview you. Let's start off with an easy question, who do you support for the Altador Cup and why?
I'll support anyone Sharkhorn tells me to, but she doesn't have a public opinion on teams for the Altador Cup, so I'll say the Lost Desert. I played on a recreational team when I lived there.
What do you do for a career?
I'm a body guard for Sharkhorn. Not much to say really since life in Meridell has been pretty peaceful. Mainly I just protect her in snowball fights now.
If we're just having a quite night in, I'll often take the time to knit as it gives my hands something to do while I keep an eye on our surroundings. The knitting needles can also come in handy if I can't reach my sword in time.
Were you always a darigan ruki?
Basically, although I've red different elsewhere and that's a bit unusul.
It's certainly not the case that I was a different species because my sponsor wanted a to dress up their chosen and used the uski paper doll as a real life stand in before the "conversion" I've heard so many people mention. Nope, not that at all.
It also isn't the case that I used squirrel away items in the Lost Desert as a rouge and when I learned they were sending soldiers elsewhere as some sort of foreign aid program I volunteered to get away from a life of crime.
After all, it would be dishonest to use a morphing potion to change species in order to gain a new identity. I mean, I learned the ways of the ruki solider in the kingdom of Sakhmet and then rose to the top of my class.
After graduation I was assigned to be a bodyguard for a Darigan Diplomat. My ID number was no longer needed as a way to differentiate myself from the other soldiers as I was now painted Darigan. I follow my assignment everywhere she goes and I do my best to keep her safe from harm. As far as she or anyone else knows, I always was and always will be a darigan ruki.
Right, I'll make a note of that... Changing topics, how did you meet your petpet?
It was long after the fall of Faerieland. Even though the Citadel could provide technology to get Faerieland back in the sky, it could not replace the clouds so many of the buildings had used for support, or repair the crater. Instead, physical aid was provided to help the faeries rebuild. Sharkhorn and I were invited to the Faerie Festival of Y19 as a show of camaraderie between the both floating cities.
As a forgein dignitary, we were in formed of the chance of a potential threat of concentrated dark magic. Darigans do have some resilience to it, so we were aware but not concerned. I had my gaurd up and when event happened as they did, I helped keep the barrier secure.
After the attempted rise to power of the Darkest Faerie, we noticed she used more than just the dark magic associated with wraith to create minions. She also used her dark magic to taint petpets into doing her bidding. And whenever she is defeated, the tainted minions lose their evil drive; as was the case when she was defeated after the incident in Meridell.
Needless to say, Sharkhorn and myself are quite used to trained minions as many of them lived in the Citadel after the Meridell thing. We found it was a better environment for them and the pets their were better equipped to handle their,, what others would call, "evil nature". Once the Faerie Queen was feeling better, we suggested the dame thing to her,, that the minions be adopted out as petpets. She liked the idea and they were given to those who helped in the Wraith Resurrgence, myself included. I had never had a petpet before, but Little Buffer is a cool dude who's a lot like me!
Moving on, how did you meet user/your sponsor?
I met my sponsor when I assigned to be a bodyguard for Sharkhorn. She explained that the sponsor helps with travel funds and other necessary expensives. It was then brought up that I should match the look of my assignment and my sponsor provided the darigan paint brush.
Here is one last fun question to finish off the interview. If you had a title like the Heroes of Altador, what would it be?
