you don't know me anymore

i changed my hair, i changed my hair, i changed my hair
This was not your goal when you set out on what you thought would be a brisk afternoon walk around the outskirts of Lutari Island. Your attention had been caught by a dingy shed that you typically wouldn't have noticed, except it proved difficult to ignore the mysteriously colour-streaked windows and aggressively whiny music blasting from inside.

Now you're looking at a Faerie Xweetok through the half-open door, wailing along to a twenty-something agonizing about life alongside a heavy guitar backing.

HEY!

She catches you, surprised and clearly embarrassed but trying to hide it. The music is paused. You go to stammer your apologies, but she's already flitted over to you, wings buzzing. Her paws appear to be stained with - what is that, paint? You see her mane is damp and a vibrant magenta, matching the colour tinged on her paws, and you realize it's dye.

What do you want? You're not sure. You some kind of sicko? This is my private property. She's not wrong, but you find yourself put off by her immediate abrasiveness. Well, technically this is my "time-out" room where Cap sends me when I'm "being rude" or "threatening the safety of others", but jokes on him 'cuz this place is dope. You glace around the single-room shed. The walls and floor are covered with the coloured streaks that you now know to be hair dye, and besides the speaker system and mirrors hung at various heights around the room, the only real furniture is a wobbly table covered in empty bottles and a grungy beanbag chair.

Well, I guess you can come in if you want. I haven't had guests in a while, but I'm sure you're curious. She grins smugly. You stare at her. Guess you've got nothing better to do.

about

Name: Fofah (Fofah_Xweetok)
Species: Faerie Xweetok
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Pelt: Tan with dark brown and light brown markings.
Mane: Fofah dyes her mane regularly, so it can be any colour or combo of colours at any given time.
Personality: Seems like quite the jerk at first, and then sort of always still just seems like a jerk after that. She can usually be found attempting "pranks" on her housemates or disturbing the peace. Likes to laugh at other people's irritation and loves any attention, positive or negative. She's all talk. With her regular mane-dyeing, she's also picked up a knack for general hair care and aesthetics. She listens solely to whatever the Neopian equivalent to pop punk/emo/indie punk is. She has a lot of ~feelings~ even though she'll never admit it.
Lifestyle: Fofah is literally just hanging out. She's typically unemployed and spends her days in or around Lutari Island House. She is in denial when she tells herself that this is enough.
Relationships: Meep thinks she's really cool even though they're usually the main target of Fofah's antics. Karbiela tolerates her only because Fofah's too intimidated to ever try any funny business with her. Cap and Fofah get into frequent arguments but they both kind of enjoy it. Atty sort of just does whatever Fofah asks because she makes her nervous, although they do bond over similar taste in music. Fofah seems to be the only one who has no affection for Vincotto, who is otherwise universally adored. Fofah is so obviously jealous of this fact that it is embarrassing to witness.
Petpet: Kosmick the Faerie Meowclops and Garamond the Beelzebug

OOC History: I adopted Fofah from the pound in August 2008. I had owned a red Xweetok on my first ever neopets account which I had lost access to two years prior, and I was on the look out for a replacement. I remember passing over several well-named Xweetoks until I was for whatever reason called to by Fofah. She immediately became a favourite of mine. She lived as a red Xweetok before I painted her camouflage and started drawing her exclusively wearing a stupid hat.
Some time later I got my first ever FFQ and had to use it to make Fofah faerie, my dream pet when I first joined the site at age 8. I knew she'd never quite match my dream pet vision as this was post-conversion, but I was thrilled about the colour change just the same.
When UC pets were released as NC buyables I knew I had no choice but to force Fofah become what I had always wanted her to be. It honestly really took some getting used to after seeing her in her converted form for over a decade! I think she's almost too pretty now but I love her as much as my ten year old self did.
Fun Fact: my real-life sister has held a vitrolic hatred for Fofah since we were children because I used to talk about her so much. she also just genuinely thinks Fofah is a bad person.

You gingerly take a seat in the lopsided beanbag chair placed haphazardly in the middle of the room. The Xweetok eyes you up and down. Not gonna lie, you're sort of swagless... let me do your hair! Take a seat and I'll work my magic.
Done! Fofah finishes styling your hair disconcertingly fast. You reluctantly peek at one of mirrors that's at your eye level and you're pleasantly surprised to find that you actually look pretty good. I've been doing my own hair for a loooong time. Keeps things interesting I guess, and it's not like I can trust anyone else with it. Here are some of my older looks.

Okay I'm bored now. Before you can react, Fofah is pushing you out the stained shed door.

Bye! She flashes you a grin and shuts the door a little too eagerly, the music from before you entered starting up again immediately. Well, that was short-lived. At least you got a haircut out of it.
